I mentioned in a previous post that using Cloudflare’s reverse proxy services (such as “tunnels” or “proxied domains”) comes with certain security and privacy implications. Essentially, to function as a reverse proxy, CF must be able to intercept and decrypt your traffic. This Man-In-The-Middle position gives CF the ability to hypothetically capture or alter your traffic without any obvious indication.
In this post, I’d like to demonstrate how that would work.

I will be relocating my servers again in the next few months. These servers host this blog, a couple websites, my Fediverse server, and various internal services. My internal services will simply be down during this process, but for the external-facing services, I wanted something a little more elegant. Namely, a proper maintenance page.

For a while now, I’ve followed a pretty strict rule: public services are public, and private services are private.
For me, that meant that the only things on my network that were exposed to the public internet are my blog and public websites. Private services, like Home Assistant or Navidrome, are only accessible from my local network (or remotely via VPN).

Today I changed that a bit…

Can IPv6 play a role in resisting internet censorship?

This will just be a quick post to share the cable I built for interfacing PC audio with my Xiegu G90 for digital radio modes.

The homepage for the EveryHam Amateur Radio Contest is now live at EveryHam.org!

A trial contest was run on 18 April, thanks to the help of KD3BTG, M0CUV, N3VEM, N3CAN, and K3QB. I would consider the trial contest to be a success; it helped expose some bugs my ADIF parsing script and taught me some important lessons.

I love the concept of radio communication; from playing with 27mhz “walkie talkies” as to kid, to CB and LMR as a teen, and then finally licensed amateur radio as an adult.

I’m just a nerd; learning about and experimenting with radio frequencies is just plain fun.

I just recently returned from Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) East this past weekend and just wanted to share a bit of my experience. This was my 5th or 6 PAX event, with my first being back in 2010 when PAX first came to the East Coast.
