Feasibility Can I host Netflix on my own? of course yes, many open source software offers similar functionality, you can set it to work only inside your home network or make it available throughout the internet. I already own a server, I rent out a server for hosting my development activities, so why not use that server as a media server, I don’t want it to run just inside the home LAN, I want it to be exposed to the internet, of course with required security measures.

Hey, what’s going on with you, hopefully good things, a small personal update, I think I lost focus on my goals for almost a 1.6 years, right after I joined vz, maybe its beause this is the first ime I ever switched my official day time job, wtf, time..time..time it moves soo fast, nowadays literally everthing takes soo much time in this attention seeking nightmare.. wtf, you can not even ignore most of the things, otherwise you will be an outcast, Something happened and it gave me a wakeup call on why I wanted my life goals on the first place, then I realized, “you are the person shaped by your memories, at least your behaviour should reflect it”, because If I still had my old memories and experiences I would have not changed courses?

This is personal post, not about tech.. if anyone other than me is reading this.. ignore this if you wanted somehting technical. I can not belive, its been already 3 years since this post. Covid really took 2 years from my life real quick. I dont know If I’d be in a better/ lesser position if it were not for covid though. I started this draft on august 21 and as i am inching each day towards my birthday and beyond.

Been busy, its not like I lost interest in posting here, I just didn’t allocate time for writing here, which is the opposite of what I set out to do.. which in turn does not track my progress at all, I should be held accountable for my progress. ~pff I hate it. A friend told me in the time that I did not post, not necessarily everything should be a progress, maybe this is right or maybe wrong.

Upgrading PI hole Once every year, I do server maintainence (during Dec-Jan), this year I updated the our dns server from pi-hole to AGH (both are open source projects..) Just wanted to try an alternative, after using it for a while, the UI & Features on AGH is much better than pi-hole. Why a custom dns server? All websites/apis are just ip addresses (just numbers). Nameservers maintains a mapping of the domain names to the ip addresses, so when we make a request, we get the appropriate ip address.
