Legends by TimeNET
Legends is a game that was around 2001 to 2002 published by TimeNET, a sister game to Dark Ages (Wikipedia). It’s a game I’ve spent a significant amount of my childhood, but it doesn’t exist anymore. Lot more than that, almost the entirety of the Internet seems to have forgotten about it. I didn’t remember…

Dell IPMI Fan Control (from Windows)
Is your Dell server too loud and sounds like you’re in a room with a jet engine? This is a small powershell script used to manually control fan speed on a Dell server (such as PowerEdge R730xd) from a Windows computer on the same network as the IPMI. By default, the fan speed control only…

Sprackly Website
Advances in applied AI continue to reshape what individual developers can accomplish. Using LM Studio with RTX 3090 in combination with the GLM4.7 Flash model, which is only 6 days old as of making this post, I recently redesigned the Sprackly.com website, and the results were genuinely impressive. Unlike earlier attempts at AI-assisted web generation,…

asdf.me website?
Not sure why I’m making a raccoon themed website at 2am for one of my staging domains. But I like how this turned out. Looks cute. Check it out

DirectAdmin Automatic SSL Certificates with 3rd Party DNS and reverse proxy (example with CloudFlare)
This is a fairly simple solution done entirely in GUI, but something I had great difficulty finding the answer to from anywhere else. If you use another DNS and/or reverse proxy service such as CloudFlare, the DirectAdmin’s auto SSL feature doesn’t work anymore since both ZeroSSL and Let’s Encrypt provided in DirectAdmin is no longer…

Cast H&H Hanayama Puzzle – How to Solve (all versions)
This ©Hanayama Cast H&H puzzle actually seems to come with few different versions for which the solutions are actually different. My box is marked with SC23-V 1352 in emboss, though I’m not actually certain if that’s how they track the variations. My solution at the end may be different from yours. But that’s okay! This…

VMWare and “Virtualized AMD-V/RVI is not supported on this platform”
Rather old issue, but still a persistent one if you use VMWare. Three things to try (as of 2025 for Windows version 24H2). Each of these requires a reboot to make the actual change. Hypervisor Launch Type In cmd with administrator: Windows Subsystem for Linux Open Optional Features, and go to More Windows features Make…

2025 Site Update!
Oh. Seems I’ve missed my yearly blog post and skipped 2024. Quite a lot happened for me in 2024. Made a round trip around the world visiting 5 countries; Germany, Korea, Philippines, Japan, and Swiss. Advanced in my business and career. Altered course for my life. Despite potentially having a lot to share, I guess…

Stable Diffusion – AI Art
Art is a career path I cut off fairly early in my life. While I enjoyed drawing and have attended art classes until end of high school, I found my calling elsewhere in computer science. But art has never left me from my professional career. Through web and product design as well as photography, it…

It’s 2022, and a website I created for a hobby in 2001 lives on.
Wow, it is 2022. And I’m maintaining a website, called Arts of Arc Headquarters, that no one has likely visited for over a decade now. It’s a website dedicated to my gaming clan dating all the way back to 2001. We played a game called Attack Retrieve Capture (ARC) and have been part of many…

Handy Base Converter in Javascript
Just a simple handy javascript I found on stackoverflow for converting any arbitrary base for any precision. Whether it be base 10 to 64, base 2, base 32, etc. I plan to convert it to other language(s) someday for further use. Full credits of this code to the link above. This is mostly a self…
