I'm Mr. Rubber Ducky, you might know me as "OG_MrRubberDucky", "MrRubberDucky" or plainly "Simon" from other platforms, or sites. I'm an occassional gamer, streamer, blogger, self-hoster with my own homelab and a soon-to-be digital artist.

I believe in something controversial by nowadays standards called "ownership". In a way that correlates with "piracy" but to me, they're just backups. Nothing will last forever, if it wasn't for people reuploading some of my childhood games then they would've been lost media by now.

Strongly against generative 'AI'. It's just a complex math algorithm, there's nothing intelligent about how it works or interacts with you. It's all a prediction that was trained on stolen works of others. If you're against piracy, then by proxy you should be against GenAI - and if you're not against piracy then the point still stands. If corporation is allowed to 'steal' and get away with it, then why should a normal user be punished for doing the same?

Anyhow, here's the rest of the things no one cares about.


This is currently what I run in my homelab.

- HP OEM PC (i5-6600K, 8GB DDR4, 128GB SSD, Intel igb network card 4x1Gb) running OPNSense
- Lenovo OEM PC (i3-7100, 32GB DDR4, 1TB SSD, Broadcom card 4x1Gb) running Proxmox VE
- HP ProCurve 2910al-24G network switch
- Xiaomi Mi Router 4A Gigabit Edition flashed with OpenWRT acting as a 'Dumb AP'
