Hello! You have landed on my website. It's full of little experiments and articles/write-ups, especially from times that I tried to make something work (so I won't forget it myself..). Please note that I do not track you, my website will not send you cookies, and no logs are kept for longer than technically necessary. For that reason, no GDPR/cookie pop-up is shown or necessary. I hate them just as much as you do.

If you like, you can also find me on Instagram, on Facebook, and on LinkedIn. Or, more directly, on IRC as FinalX on irc.rizon.net, chat.freenode.net and irc.oftc.net.

Articles that I feel confident about them being as I intended them to be:

• More technical details about this website.
• Articles about one specific subject:
  • IP-addresses and domain names you can use in examples and texts.
  • Why you shouldn't be using 301 Permanent Redirects.
• Articles regarding nginx:
  • How to set a website as the default website; or
  • Not having a default website (recommended!) and why.
  • Setting up PHP, the safe(r) way.
• Articles regarding PowerDNS:
  • Setting up authoritive nameservers
    • Setting up a hidden (signing) master.
    • Setting up front-end slaves.

I aim to make my website available in English, Dutch, and Spanish. Some articles are not translated yet, so please bear with me for the time being. English is the primary language in which they are displayed when not available in the selected language. If you find any errors (typos, or any other kind) on my website, please let me know!

I also enjoy analog photography with my Nikon F100; and with that in mind: If you're looking for something to get me for my birthday, have a look at my wishlist.
