Been getting through a good bit of reading lately. Mostly working my way through The Will of the Many which I'm really enjoying. It has influences from the Red Rising series around the structure of th...

One thing that I just realized my new scribbling setup doesn't currently support is physical media. I don't often get a chance to sit down and listen to a record but I did get some good ones for Fathe...

Spent some time today cleaning up a lot of unused apps and domains on my vps. It was pretty easy with YunoHost through the dashboard. I moved some services around to other domains and simplified a lot...

Big storm last night. It was initially supposed to hit us around 10pm but was really slow moving and took until about 12:50am to get going. At least that's when it woke me up because I fell asleep wai...
