A little about this site

Well, I am the creator of this page and site. there is more to this story than just a website. Sure, the web content and the web style was composed by me. The web is based on wiki framework (Mediawiki) so I setup that application to host this page. Also That would require me set up a Linux Apache MySQL PHP (LAMP) server. So I installed and configured the server. All this Software would need to work on a reliable machine so I built a fanless i7 Server with a raid 1 array running Ubuntu server. Its about 8 years old and has been operating 24/7 all this while.

I had to set up the domain and forward network traffic to my home and configured my home router to allow internet traffic. That was done with noip.com and dynamic DNS. Recently I felt that I needed to make my self hosted site more secure with HTTPS. That turned out to be a little more challenging as I didn't want to pay for a certificate from a CA. Long story short I implemented a scheme proposed by letsencrypt.com where I created a Certbot ACME client to obtain a certificate. The fruits of that labor is what you see here.

Some completed home projects

  • My Planes and Drones
  • Custom Designed 3D Printer
  • A Nixie Tube Display/Driver
  • A Pi Zero Based Spectrometer
  • A Home Made NAS Server



I had built my first 3D Printer which was an ANET A8. It was cheap and barely functional. I liked the basic design but it was small and I spent a lot of time just repairing it to keep it alive. I added a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W based OctoPrint server.
