It appears we screwed up.

December 19, 2023December 20, 2019 by S-Config

Yes, it's true. We can screw up. We're pros at it!

In this chapter, we are swept away by tornadoes and dropped off somewhere in Jersey. It's a serious fear for those who live in the great American mid-west. For those who aren't following our social networks, we made the switch from Apache to NGinx. Why do you ask? Because after doing a lot of research combined with the fact that a lot of higher end programs we use have migrated to the Nginx platform. It seemed reasonably powerful to give it a go. For the most part, the migration was a success! But like all things new you tend to get a little crazy with configuration and sometimes screw up!

To those who were wondering why things were silent for a bit. Well, there you go! Just table-flipping the website once again! Would you like to know more?

YouTube – FTC – Think of the Children – Censorship – Round 3!

April 24, 2025November 24, 2019 by S-Config

Aww geez! Not another YouTube rant!

It's a time that as a blogger we address the proverbial elephant in the room. The last few things YouTube has done I've remained quiet about. Mostly in the respect that I've already said my piece about them and have suggested to people to try other outlets. From their de-monetization policy, a word that if you uttered 10 years ago people would scratch their heads and ask you "What the hell are you talking about?" To "Adpocalypse" and "AI mass deletion" to now with this whole "COPPA/FTA" ordeal. I feel it's time to address these issues in an environment that YouTube nor Google cannot control.

This very blog. I should throw a small disclaimer that these are the opinions of S-Config.com. In such, you should do your investigative research to form your own opinions on the subject matter. Don't be a lemming!

Skateboard update version 2.x

October 4, 2024October 12, 2019 by S-Config

Welcome to my diatribe of a skateboard. Volume 2!

I haven't updated much about the skateboarding side of my blog because no less than a few months in a suffered from a level 2 MCL tear which took me out for 6 months. However, I've been getting back to skateboarding again for exercise reasons. It's more fun to skate than it is to run around the block stupidly. That and if we get bored (like what usually happens on most regiments of being a better human being.) we can practice other things than just skating around in a perpetual loop around the park.

State of the blog address 2018.

March 25, 2023April 20, 2019 by S-Config

What's happening in this blog?!?

Welcome to the state of the blog address. It's come to my attention that people think that I've given up blogging. That's simply is not true.

RedDragon Gaming Gear.

July 20, 2024March 17, 2019 by S-Config

Well, since we keep talking about RedDragon in other hardware blogs.....

It should be fitting that we get ourselves some RedDragon hardware to try out because after working on Corsair and Razer gear pretty much calling it garbage. We're pretty certain a lot of people get going to ask us

Why S? Why do you like RedDragon so much? Is Eastern Times Technology paying you? - rando

Hah! No company pays this site because they'd have to get ahold of us first. Hardly anyone pays us but ourselves! We're doing this article because we can. It's just that simple. This blog entry will serve as a reference point whenever someone asks me what type of keyboard do recommend. To which they'll probably laugh. Ignore everything mentioned in this article And finally, purchase a name-brand piece of garbage for $200 only to throw it away in 6 months.

But for those who want to hear what my recommendation is then you can read on at your own risk.

So you want to start a blog?

April 2, 2024January 6, 2019 by S-Config

Start a blog? In this day and age? What the hell man?!?

Perhaps one of the three readers might be interested in our advice on how to start a blog. To learn from the mistakes/failures we've made so that you can be an even better blogger. Perhaps even some of the success that we've had too. It's been now five and a half years since we opened this site and to this date, we couldn't be happier with the majority of the decisions made here. So, instead of giving little bits of information like "download WordPress" this article is to approach all aspects of what it takes to be at least a proficient blogger.

We can't say professional bloggers as that would involve making money. But proficient is the next best thing in our opinion. Let's begin!

Adventures in Ebay.

October 30, 2019November 11, 2018 by S-Config

eBay: The story of lies, misdirection, and confusion.

For many who read our blogs, you've probably seen a lot of links going off to eBay for the hardware that we buy. Although there are probably better sources to get cheap electronics such as Amazon. However, eBay has always been our go-to source for a lot of bizarre things. This time around we purchased something rather mundane. What we ended up with is an eBay experience that is almost a teachable lesson on how fucked up business has gotten.

Rollerblade office caster wheels – buyer beware!

We purchased a set of Rollerblade office caster wheels.

We picked up a set of these office caster wheels that essentially have Rollerblade wheels on the bottom of them. Why do you ask?

Some http2 headaches.

October 30, 2019August 1, 2018 by S-Config

Sitting on the bleeding edge with HTTP2 protocols. HTTP2 has been enabled shortly after we purchased an SSL connection. Since we were already running encryption on our blog then why not take advantage of another method that will speed up the site? This blog will continue to be enabled until a better transport protocol comes ... Read more

Linksys E8500 – DD-WRT Router

January 27, 2024March 17, 2018 by S-Config

How we found our E8500 DD-WRT router.

Because of some of the work that we do in the really-real world we tend to work with non-profit accounts which shall remain unnamed for their security as well as our own. But one of the items that were scheduled for recycling/destruction was this Linksys E8500 router. This was super-odd to us because routers like these typically go for almost one-hundred U.S. dollars. Now, it could be dead for all we know! So we decided to take a chance while at the same time giving money to a charitable cause. Fifteen U.S. dollars later it was now in our possession. Time to roll our lucky dice! Read on if you want to know more.
