4K Manjaro Plasma Wallpaper
Wiccan inspired neon wallpaper. I was messing around with some art ideas and this just happened. It looks pretty cool so if you like skulls and neon maybe you’ll dig this. I also provide all the elements if you prefer to make your own layout. Tools used: Inkscape, Krita, and G’Mic. Enjoy Download PNG Download […]
Firewalla Blue Review
Is the Firewalla worth your money? I’m not convinced that it is. Maybe if your router is older and doesn’t include a firewall. I went ahead a bought the Blue Plus to see what this thing can do and ran it for a few weeks. I am on the fence, but maybe this will help […]

Install Photoshop CS6 on POP!OS 20.04 in PlayOnLinux
I find that Krita and/or The Gimp can pretty much do everything I want but one thing they can’t do is provide some of the excellent plug-ins found for Photoshop, not that G’Mic is not great. If Krita could get Photoshop plug-in support I would imagine it would take a big chuck of Adobe’s end […]

VPN Count Dashboard Example
Before all hell broke loose I built a dashboard for management to give a near real-time view of health, errors, etc. Once we got sent home to work and we popped most of the work force on VPN, I was tasked with adding a widget to show connected users. Of course this is an example […]
