My Home-lab Server Rack Tour ( It’s Taller Than Me! ) 🖥️

,

This project all started from passing my CompTIA Network+ certification.

I found that i really liked the idea of networking and servers, running my own services, and monitoring the entire environment from the ground up.

Since posting this videos ive acquired even more resources, hardware, knowledge, and interest in my home-lab.

This is an introductory tour to what i currently have in the home-lab but as of this blog post it's only improved and grown from there.

I have big plans for the services and things i will be running on this server and the databases i'll have to collect and store my own personal data and i hope to document all of it via publicly acessible code, but also via youtube videos talking about the technology.

Interested in more of what im doing around this stuff? Check out my DevLog notes from the dropdown in the Banner at the top of the page!

🐇️ Research Rabbit & Zotero Sync | Research Paper Discovery Will Never Be The Same 📜️

,

In this video I cover the new Research Rabbit Zotero Sync and how to leverage tools in both applications for an amazingly robust workflow around research paper discovery, management, and note taking!

One of my favorite ways of interacting with research papers now is taking an existing Zotero collection, syncing it to Research Rabbit (RR), then then discovering new papers with RR and syncing them back to Zotero and using the Sci-Hub add-on to make sure i get copies of every paper for my research. There's a lot of great add-ons in Zotero to aid in your Research :)

✅️ Taskade: A Swiss Army Knife of Productivity & Collaboration

Taskade

Taskade reached out to sponsor a video on my channel and this is my comprehensive review of their entire service which also yielded a page of feedback tasks for them on their service which they wre really appreciateive for.

This service can do quite a lot with differing views of tasks and projects with heavy emphasis on collaboration and management of projects and work breakdown.

This service has a perfect place amongst other business productivity solutions and they're constantly adding more functionality over time.

🐇️Research Rabbit: The Best Academic Tool of 2021 (Research Paper Discovery Will Never Be The Same!)

,

Research Rabbit

Is a new tool in the academic space that is quickly becoming a favorite of those in the PKM sphere.

Research Rabbit makes dicovering research papers easier than ever before and with some clever integrations with Zotero and some add-on's *cough* Sci-Hub *cough*, essentially the entire work of literature and research opens to you.

There's a lot to love about this service and the team behind it are absolutely incredible people. Highly recommend checking out the service.

You can find it below along with a code that may get you moved up the wait list :)

Morgen: My New Favorite Calendar App

Morgen is a fantastic young calendar application that I have come to adore. I was asked to review the application and give my honest and unfiltered feedback on it and to be honest, there's not much to dislike and what I did have to say in that regard is actively being built.

The short and skinny of the video is:

  • Pros:
    • Shortcuts for views and filters
    • Great UI/UX
    • Calendar centralization
    • Calendar view grouping
    • Availability time export
    • Resolving many iCal pain points for me
    • Availability Schedulable links (one time and recurring slots)
  • Cons:
    • No support for enterprise options at the moment (firewalls like government email accounts etc.)
    • No mobile apps
    • No task manager integration (Todoist coming soon)
    • No payment processing like Calendy for the schedulable links (Coming soon)

All in all i see a bright future for the app and i'm eagerly awaiting for those cons to be resolved because this will easily fit into my workflow and replace many different applications like

  • google calendar iOS app
  • iCal desktop/iOS app
  • Calendy Web app
