Some http2 headaches.

Collapsing internet universe title.

Sitting on the bleeding edge with HTTP2 protocols. HTTP2 has been enabled shortly after we purchased an SSL connection. Since we were already running encryption on our blog then why not take advantage of another method that will speed up the site? This blog will continue to be enabled until a better transport protocol comes ... Read more

What the hell twitch?

Fractured Twitch Title.

Dear Twitch streamers,

We're sorry to write up an article like this about Twitch. But we're here to inform you that you as a watcher and a streamer, are human. Not machines! This may come as a shock to some of you out there. However, we urge you to please refrain from reaching up to pull the umbilical cord from your esophagus. It hurts really badly!

Update 09/04/2025:

We gave up on watching Twitch when they introduced commercials mid-stream instead of allowing the streamer to decide when the commercial should happen. When commercials are more important than the content, then a streaming network deserves no one to watch it.

Google, Facebook, Medium, Humanity?

Facebook, Medium, Google, and Humanity.

......And so the mask falls off. No one cares, right?

When Cambridge Analytica used a software API to mine for a potential of 50 million accounts from Facebook, which was later sold off to various political parties. The public relations bombshell on the social platform may have shocked some. However, our reaction was not of disgust or shock. But instead of complete indifference. It only confirms what we knew already. Facebook manipulates its user base in a horrific psychological manner to attain a profit. Now you’re getting Ex-CEO coming out, stating that what they did is horrible, trying to apologize to the public. To which the only thing we say to their comments is:

Apology denied!

Linksys E8500 – DD-WRT Router

DD-WRt Router Title.

How we found our E8500 DD-WRT router.

Because of some of the work that we do in the really-real world we tend to work with non-profit accounts which shall remain unnamed for their security as well as our own. But one of the items that were scheduled for recycling/destruction was this Linksys E8500 router. This was super-odd to us because routers like these typically go for almost one-hundred U.S. dollars. Now, it could be dead for all we know! So we decided to take a chance while at the same time giving money to a charitable cause. Fifteen U.S. dollars later it was now in our possession. Time to roll our lucky dice! Read on if you want to know more.

Spam dissection – Episode 003

Spam and SEO Dissection Title

Welcome to Spam and SEO dissection episode 3!

Oh boy, oh boy, I haven't done a spam dissection in a while! We typically do these once a year or so because spam generally takes a while to cycle out its sales pitches! For those new to our blog, spam dissection is where we show you all of the terrible shit that comes into your typical WordPress user's spam box. Then we turn around and make fun of it all. As fun as the A.I. Generated texts are that make you think that you're on "Feminute" with Infochammel, we're not going to do those. But if we find a few, we might post as honorable mentions! From scammers to spammers, this is the section of our site where we let them have a voice and answer their questions without giving them the credit they think they deserve by embedding links to their websites. Interesting note: No spam articles were ever posted to Spam dissection episodes 1 and 2.

I guess they don't like it when you make fun of them!

Let's keep doing it!

INFOCHAMMEL!

Infochammel Title.

INFOCHAMMEL?!?!?! WTF?!?

Infochammel is a magical place. We talked about this site briefly on our Cellar Door as one of the few cool sites out there. But we feel it deserves its own article! The activity of that site is booming and shaking. To top it all off we had decided to advertise there now too!

This blog is ready to try new technologies to make communication faster. Thus, 7-zip will be a welcome addition. As an added side-effect transitioning to 7-zip will help with the backups and overall optimization.

Plugin review: Yoast needs to stop linking itself.

Yoast SEO Plugin Title

Every piece of information is important. Yoast Disagrees!

I decided to write up a quick article/review about one of the plugins that we use here called "Yoast" or as the plugin delicately puts it "WordPress SEO". In an arrogant fashion that there is only one SEO package out there and that's it. For those who do not know what this plugin does. Yoast attempts to understand how search engines work. Yoast then passes down automated knowledge to the WordPress blogger on how to write up their documentation to make it more machine likable. Because of machines like your blog entry then you might stand a chance at a human actually seeing it. Crap, we're living in a rather grim state of affairs but it's true!

Clarification about Xbox One controllers.

Xbox One Controller Blog Title.

We feel it's important to make a separate article about the Xbox One controller.

This was originally a part of the Chinese Xbox receiver guide that we made a few years back answering the simple question:

Can you use the Chinese Xbox receiver on an Xbox One controller?

To which the quick answer is: No If that's what you're looking for. Then we're glad to have answered your question. However, there is more to the explanation and why it may or may not really be an issue anymore.

Also, as of 1/2/2020, Microsoft has removed drivers for their controllers off of their site for Windows 7 users as well as removing offline installation of their driver for Windows 10 people. Don't worry guys! we got you covered in this blog as well.
