Projects:

  • TeamSpeak - Voice chat replacement, this is the OG voice chat tool and I do have a Unraid server now hosting other containers.
  • Semi-retiring Gmail for Proton - I'm still working on converting to using Proton to replace Google Suite. I'll still keep the email but won't be my primary

  • Update my Unraid server to utilize a Intel Arc GPU I bought. Previously it had a 1060 that I got yeeeeears ago back in college when I made my first gaming rig. Jellyfin is working well with it.
  • Replacement for WhatsApp - Now this is one my friends and I should have already replaced but we moved from kik to WhatsApp back in high school so we've been on it for comfort. But we should be replacing it something with something less invasive
