Welcome to my website!

You can find some useful things here I guess.

This is a little web server running on a Dell OptiPlex 3020 with Debian 13 and CasaOS. The CPU is an Intel Core i3-4160 with an nVidia Quadro K620, 12GB of RAM in DDR3 (1600 MHz), a 960GB SSD, 250GB SSD and a 1TB HDD.

Anyway, welcome on my server. I remade the whole website (thanks NomnomNami) and I'll try to run multiple services (again) but It's so difficult to keep it up to date when you're dumb like me.

Before, this server was really trash and poor maintained so I gave up on Invidious, Whoogle and RedLib. Too much problems, but now I'll try to host some little software since Minecraft is taking a lot of RAM.

History

A few years ago, around 2022, I started to make a web server on an old Huawei P20 Lite using a template. Since I was starting, I didn't know how to expose it to the web (but I couldn't because of my ISP anyway). It was pretty useful for me even if it was only a local web server. It was heating a little, but it was okay... That's what I thought... In 2023, I checked the phone because I was worried about the temperature and... the battery was swollen... I had to throw it away, but I kept the microSD card since I stored the website on it just in case. After that, I didn't do much since I don't have a lot of devices, but in 2024, I decided to turn my old Acer Swift 3 into a web server, but with a new website layout, again, with a template. It wasn't really good, and I never finished it, so I eventually gave up. In 2025, I got much more interested in self-hosting as I was already doing my research in late 2024. I installed Debian with CasaOS, and this is where the REAL self-hosting started. But the old Acer Swift 3 wasn't really good, and the NVMe wasn't healthy so, since the laptop was old, I decided to check online to see if there was any old HP EliteDesk, Dell OptiPlex, and I found an OptiPlex for 15€ without disks and RAM. It was a pretty good deal, so I bought it and entirely remade the server. Now, I host multiple services; you can find them in the Services tab.

Thanks for visiting! :D

Services

Here's some self-hosted services that I offer.

Status

You can see if any of my public services are down or if there is any planned maintenance. If a service is down, it should be back up in a few minutes.

About

Félx

I got interested in computers since I was little. My interest grew a lot as I got much more into computers and phone modding. With all the knowledge I had, I could do a few useful things, like helping a little bit in the XDA Forums. It's a great place for phone modding! For computers, I simply explored YouTube and did my research on how to make batch scripts, HTML, etc. I also did a little of Android Studio, making some small software that wasn't that useful. Eventually, I gave up on Android Studio and I got more into making a website. Besides that, I was also interested in PC hardware so, again, I learned from the internet but mostly with YouTube. But I got very interested in one thing: Repairing. I watched a lot of videos about it. It may be weird, but I like repairing stuff. I recently repaired my TV since the internal PSU card died when it was on. I replaced some speakers since the cone was starting to make some saturated sounds. Now, here we are, me making a server and trying to host a few self-hosted front-ends. It's not that easy when you're dumb like me lol. The server history is here.

Server

I finally got a desktop PC (Dell OptiPlex 3020). No more laptop! I can finally use the Ethernet since my old laptop didn't have an Ethernet port. This server may be weaker than the laptop, but at least now, I can replace everything, and both the SSD and HDD are healthy (not like the old one). Crazy thing: I got this PC for 15€! It said it was without RAM and disk, so I just put what I had. I'll get new RAM since I only have 8 GB, and I don't think I will change the SSD nor the HDD since they are healthy and barely used. Big thanks to the seller!

Earphones

If you don't have any Aux port on your phone, the Samsung EO-IC100 are the earphones you wanna use for its cheap price (~30€). They have the same speakers system (coaxial) as the EO-IA500, making the sound quality really good with low latency, since it's wired. I still think it needs a bit more bass, otherwise the treble are good, maybe a little too high for me, but again, that's my opinion, I'm not a professional.

If you like earphones but doesn't want to pay a lot of money, I would recommand the Samsung EO-IA500 for its coaxial speakers, offering the best quality with a good balance of bass and treble without exceeding 20€. You should this video made by Sharur on YouTube if you want to make them even better. Be cautious where you but them! There's a common problem with these earphones where a channel can be unbalanced and have less bass than the other one. It's better to buy them in a store, if there's any problem, you will be able to return them easily and without any delivery problem.

For 100€, I was surprised how good it sounded, plus with the low latency since it use the aptX codec (~352kbit/s + ~300ms). I said it sounded good but I still needed to EQ them because I found it doesn't have enough bass. The downside of the EQ is that the bass take (too much) over the treble, even if I put the treble higher, it still mostly ruins it. Overall, it's good since you don't hear the compression, it has low latency and it's comfortable.

I used these for a year before switching to the Jabra Elite 4. The fact that the JBL use the AAC codec (~320kbps + ~400ms) for ~150€ is absolutely dumb, it ruins the quality of the sound since you can hear the quality loss because of the bitrate (if you're listening to Hi-Res, it's more audible). Important note: The eartips aren't really good, maybe you'll need to find the perfect position to properly hear the bass.

If there's a brand of earphones you should avoid if you searching for cheap earphones, it would be JBL. They make poor build quality and doesn't even sound that good. They only make waste by making those cheap quality earphones. Just by looking and using the Tune 310C, you can clearly see that the cable is fragile (too thin). After I used them for a few months, the left channel broke, all that because of the wires inside the cable and then, the right channel broke too not so long after.
