Schedule for this week, 2025-W48! Apologies for the second guerrilla week in a row, but I'm still in the middle of a data migration and I need to make sure it's done completely and correctly. As usual, streams will have at least an hour's notice.

I just set up my OBS to switch to my intermission scene if I lose power and my UPS kicks in. I love automation.

I got gifted an alto recorder on Throne! Altos sound much nicer than your usual soprano recorders because they're deeper. Thanks, anonymous gifter!

No stream today on account of me accidentally staying up until 6am last night. It's probably best that I don't. But maybe expect a Short sometime in the next few days.

You're up at 6am because you woke up early. I'm up at 6am because I stayed up late. We are not the same.

I wish I had the foresight to stream this, but I'm currently wrangling with an old ReadyNAS Pro 6 to try to get it to run Arch Linux. Trying to access the serial console was the most difficult part so far, but I'm halfway to making this usable.

Schedule for this week, 2025-W47! Streams will happen this week, most likely at the usual times, but I can't commit to anything specific at the moment.

Go figure, TGM2+ on the Switch feels way better to play with the controller on a tabletop, using the stick as if it were a cabinet joystick. I can actually Zangi properly and make use of sonic drop without it feeling awkward, among other things.

The US has now fallen back 1-hour. The best part about this isn't the extra hour of sleep, but now I won't have to fight my pedantic urge to correct people that use PST or EST year-round.
