I like thrift stores, technology, outer space, wine, and spicy food. Eurodance. I dabble in data analytics, Linux, self hosting, and breaking my homelab. Corgis run my life. Host OS: XCP-ng.

Hey Bluesky, I'm updating my Terms. The updated Terms will go into effect on January 1, 2025
I may have to try VSCodium. Lately, I have been on an anti Microsoft kick.

I'm on my 3rd glass of wine and it's not even dinner time. Going to be a long day.

Blueberry lemon cheesecake, wine, and #Midsomer Murders. A great way to spend the holiday week. 😁

I'm all for staying on standard. You?
“Permanent Standard Time gives your body a healthier rhythm. Energy, metabolism, and immune system stay more synchronized, lowering risks of chronic conditions.”

Wife: I'm having issues, something's wrong.
Me: ... I'm using WiFi right now.
Wife: Just because it works for you doesn't mean it's working.

Replaced my Unifi AP with a Ruckus AP. Holy crap the coverage is insane. 1 Ruckus AP has replaced 2 Unifi APs.

Had my 1st disk failure on ZFS after 3 years. Not bad for a used drive that was 7 years old.

Told the mechanic I had a bad wiring harness. Told him to replace the harness and the sensor since a bad harness probably shorted the sensor. He said, "Well, I'll determine that." Well... guess who's auto is back in the shop due to a bad sensor. 😑
