DarkMX is a decentralised comms app that utilises Tor and I2P to have an anonymous, reliable, and censorship-resistant presence on the internet

Healthchecks.io emails me when my automation jobs don’t run

2026-01-122026-01-12 Danie
A laptop screen displaying a web page titled "folder copy" with various status indicators and instructions for uploading files.

We all “should” have scheduled backups running, and sometimes other automated tasks as well. In some cases you may see an error popup, but often it is just an e-mail to say the task has […]

SSD thumb drives could be better than cheap USB flash drives

2026-01-112026-01-11 Danie
Colorful pattern featuring blue, pink, and red USB drives on a bright blue background.

“Instead of getting a cheap but very sluggish flash drive, consider buying a USB SSD that looks like a regular thumb drive but is way faster and only slightly more expensive.” I haven’t bought a […]

FireWally Is A Great Firewall App for Mac, and It’s Free

2026-01-102026-01-10 Danie
A network monitoring app interface displays traffic data overlaid on a scenic view of rooftops and streets in a city.

“Most people haven’t actively managed a firewall in at least a decade, assuming they ever have. But keeping track of which applications are using the internet—and how much data they’re using—is still useful at times, […]

Text-based interface showing options for decentralized messaging, including offline chat, online geohash channels, and encryption settings.

“Recently, the app drew attention during Nepal’s Gen Z protests, where it supported protesters in overthrowing the government. On September 4, authorities banned 26 platforms, including Facebook, X, YouTube, and Signal, to curb demonstrations against […]

I replaced Trello, Toggl, and TickTick with free, open-source Super Productivity

2026-01-062026-01-06 Danie
A laptop displaying task lists and a checkmark, surrounded by a target, clock, and upward graph, representing productivity and goal achievement.

2026-01-062026-01-06 Danie
A black computer chassis with a striking "HL15.BEAST" label, three cooling fans, a Ducky keyboard, and a Deco router on top.

I can attest to all of these reasons. Just today and yesterday I’ve been solving an issue with my docker networks grabbing 192.168.x.x addresses ranges (after the upgrade to OMV8 overwrote the daemon.json file I’d […]
