Navidrome

I did a thing today! I created a open source personal music server in Docker! I ran Navidrome in a docker container to listen to independent artists like All My Friends Hate Me!
When i accomplished my goal with a little direction from ChatGPT I was so proud of myself..i never would have dreamed two years ago that I would be attempting projects like that. 
This going straight in my portfolio.

Discrete Math?!

 When I first spotted this foreign-sounding math requirement on my Western Governors University degree plan, I practically shuddered. And honey, it wasn't just one class—it was three ! Now, you're probably saying to yourself, "You’re a Cybersecurity student, get it together—you knew math was involved." But let's be real, I had never even heard of Discrete Math before. So, doing what any resourceful feral goblin would do in this situation, I took myself straight to ChatGPT for a translation. ChatGPT broke it down beautifully: Discrete mathematics is essentially about solving a problem in the smartest, fastest, and most efficient way possible. It’s the foundational math of computing, where every distinct piece snaps perfectly into place, just like a jigsaw puzzle. Now, I could absolutely dive into the deep, geeky history of discrete math (but honestly, sweetheart, that's what Google is for). The most important takeaway here is this: we have got this . Life and...

The Road to Technology (Bridge out)

 I love technology. Truly. But sometimes technology looks at me, laughs, and decides it's going to ruin my entire day. My little tech projects don't always go the way I plan, and honestly... that's the fun. These are my personal adventures in the tech trenches! ENJOY THE CHAOS! Hermes: The Project that tried to end me! I jumped into the Hermes project thinking it would be fun. I figured I’d learn something, strengthen my tech muscles, maybe feel like a cool cyberwitch summoning APIs. Instead, Hermes broke me. Downloading everything was easy—that was the trap. The moment I started setting it up, everything went straight to hell in a handbasket. I thought connecting Hermes to LM Studio would be the easy part. I could not have been more wrong. I ended up creating—and recreating—more than 12 API keys because Hermes rejected each one as if it were judging my life choices. If those keys had been on a real key ring, I’d have been dragging around a metal chandelier. Once I finall...

Bite me Genius Bar

Absolutely. I'd lean into the humor and the "tech disaster turned adventure" angle: The Great MacBook Rescue Mission Who looks at a MacBook Air, a Windows 11 laptop, and a Chromebook and thinks, "Let's see what these can do?" Me. Partly because I'm a tech nerd. Partly because life seems determined to turn every important project into an IT support nightmare. This particular adventure began in the middle of a final project. My faithful MacBook Air suddenly decided it had had enough of academia and got itself stuck in clamshell mode. Siri kept insisting something was wrong, VoiceOver wanted my password, and I was left staring at a computer that seemed to have developed a mind of its own. Naturally, I did what any reasonable person would do: I connected it to my TV and started troubleshooting. For a brief, glorious moment, things were actually going well. I managed to start downloading a fresh operating system and thought I might have the problem sol...
