Sites 'n Stuff

Tech

ArsTechnica   One of the oldest technology oriented sites and forums.
Raspberry Pi   Get yourself a computer/server for $35. (This website runs on one.)
Pi-Hole   Get yourself a Raspberry Pi and block intrnet ads. (Installs with a single command!) Nice thing about Pi-Hole is that you don't need to install anything on any of your devices. The blocking happens on the network level.
W3Schools   Fantastic resource with tutorials for HTML, CSS, PHP, JS, SQL, C, etc.

Music

Unkle - Mistress Station   Ambient Grooves
Social Network Soundtrack   Focus Grooves
Perturbator Essentials   Cyberpunk Grooves

Comics and Graphic Novels

Hoopla   Hoopla is my favorite app to read comics online or on iPad.
Sandman   Neil Gaiman's Sandman. Lord of dreaming. Beautiful art, fantastic stories. You'll learn what cats dream about. Available on Hoopla.
Mike Carey/Peter Gross' Lucifer   A character from the Sandman universe. I like this series even better than Sandman. This one, too, is available on Hoopla.
Dylan Dog   Italian comic book about a Sherlock Holmes-like investigator of nightmares and paranormal. His assistant is Groucho Marx.

Tools of the Trade

Raspberry Pi   Raspberry Pi is a capable, small form factor computer. It runs the operating system, web server, and PHP software which work in combination to "run" this website. Read more about each of these components below.
Ubuntu Server   Ubuntu Server is a version of a Linux operating system. It is well supported and doesn't install and activate extra services which could compromise the security of the server system. It's purpose is to "run" the necessary components for this website - accept network connections and send them to the Nginx web server.
Nginx   A lightweight and open source web server. Needed to accept web connections from your computer and serve you the webpages I create.
Let's Encrypt   A service which provides security related components so that the connection between this webserver and your browser stays private. Notice the padlock or certificate icon in your URL bar. This tells you the website is the one it claims to be, and others can't snoop in on our connection.
PHP   I use PHP to help automate creation of webpages, elements like this list of links, and other calculations.
SimpleCSS   I am not very good with web design, so I rely on pre-built elements to keep this site looking (more or less) nice, and "responsive". Responsive means it should display and work nicely on a mobile device as well as a computer screen.
MacBook Air   I use a MacBook Air to run the Visual Studio Code. My MBA's name is "Ruby Sees All."
Visual Studio Code   Microsoft's VS Code is the program I use to actually type the code, and send it to a proper place on Raspberry Pi and Ubuntu OS. The code is then converted into a webpage by Nginx and PHP.
