Harden Nginx for WordPress websites

Nginx is the most popular web server alongside of Apache. Personally, I am a huge fan of Nginx. One important reason for this is that Nginx can easily be setup to become a live-stream server. Also, it makes a great reverse proxy that can greatly improve the performance of any website when properly set up. But it can, of course, also host websites. One of the most popular engines to …

What I’ve been working on

In the early summer of 2019 I purchased an Oculus Virtual Reality headset, and this made me discover my passion for 3D. A very popular “game” for the Oculus is VRChat, and in it people are allowed to upload their own worlds and avatars. Obviously, I wanted to try this out myself, so I started searching for a free app that could help me with this. And that is how …

The god(s) of data-storage

I seem to have somehow upset the god(s) of data storage. It feels like I’m being punished, or at least challenged by them as of recently. Specifically the last three months. It feels like this for me because hard drives have been failing to the left and to the right of me, and even directly in front of me. And all within a crazy short amount of time. This is …

The Statue of LiberDre

I made this animation in Blender. I placed a 3D model of my very good looking head on a model of the statue of liberty that I downloaded from Sketchfab. Added a model of New York in the background that was compiled using drone shots. Learned how to create water in Blender, added the water and a bit of mist. And after this was done rendering I added some audio …

The Super Bowl halftime show 2022

Yesterday was the yearly American Football Super Bowl event in the US of A, and if it weren’t for the traditionally, anticipated music performance during half-time, I couldn’t care less about it. But I respect everybody that loves the sport and I hope everybody had a good time! The artists that came together for the show this year are Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J Blidge, Kendrick Lamar and …

A little update

Hi everyone. It’s been a while since I last posted here so this little update is long due. I’ve been getting a LOT of responses to this little post here, and I want to thank specifically a person called James for responding to many comments that I haven’t commented on myself.

Whoopsie Daisy

I was preparing to post a new blog article until I noticed that I’ve missed a shit-ton of comments on some of my earlier posts. Because the web-server decided to stop sending me notifications on new comments. So, I’m very sorry for not getting back to all those people that left a comment. I’m gonna get right on that after posting this and when I’ve fixed the issue with sending …

Reface

Reface is an app for Android and iOS that allows your to place your face on a pre existing images or video’s of something familiar like a celebrity or something. Here are some of the “reface’s” that I made that I think are pretty funny.

Create a secure adaptive bit-rate HLS stream with Nginx/RTMP/Ffmpeg on Ubuntu 20.04 (2021)

I wrote a new guide on setting up your own live-stream server. Mostly due to your requests. I took the opportunity to simplify the guide a bit. If you follow this guide step by step, and use your brain at times that it’s required, you’ll be fine. This guide has been tested on three occasions and it works 100%. Before we begin I want to make something clear. Creating your …

Ant Media Server on Ubuntu 18.04

This short guide will show you how to install Ant Media Server (Community Edition) on a Ubuntu 18.04 VPS server. Ant Media Server is a fork of Red5. The community Edition is free, but it does have it’s limitations that can be unlocked by purchasing a license. It runs on Java so we’re also installing that on our server. The server that I used in this example has Nginx installed …
