Hi, I’m Dyson (A.K.A. Berserkir-Wolf).

I’m a computer technician by trade, and occasionally I like to dabble in software and other things.
On this site you’ll find:

  • Things that amuse me.
  • Things that I find useful (with credit where credit is due – come on guys, it’s not hard to reference your source).
  • Things I write – whether they’re just for fun, or actually serve a purpose.
  • Things I build.
  • Whatever I enjoy/feel like posting at the time.

Any major projects I do for myself will be posted as well.
I’m slowly adjusting things to be slightly cleaner, but this site will always be evolving – purely because I change my mind far more often than I should when it’s something for myself.

Feel free to share anything I post, create, or share.

Most of my smaller software projects I will be working on will use Creative Commons Licensing -more specifically, a “Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike” license. Click the name for more details.

If I ever create something that will use a different license, be it something I want to keep a hold of or to monetise, the appropriate license information will be on the page for that specific project. If no license is mentioned, the above license will apply.

Hopefully you will all enjoy what I post, and I hope that the information will help someone at some point.

Kapowarr

This one is a nifty little comic collection management tool. I’ve started getting into comics lately, and with that comes (of course) the issue of sorting it all. After a bit of digging (and some frustrations with the tool known as ‘Mylar’), I came across ‘Kapowarr’. I compiled it from source, had a play, and …

Komga

A web-UI for reading comic books. Having got Kapowarr up and running (and jumped into the support/dev/testing of it), I needed a way to actually view my digital comic books. I looked at a couple e-reader apps, and after testing a couple (including Calibre and uBooquity) I settled on Komga. It gives me a clean …

Home Assistant… you git.

See what I did there? #dadjoke (I know, I’ll show myself out). Seriously though, with the amount of time and effort I have put in so far (and will continue to put in), I thought it was time to give myself a little bit of a backup of my HomeAssistant config. Looking around, github seemed …
