Been a while since I last posted, life has a way of throwing huge curve balls at you. I spent a lot of last year working towards getting my CKAD cert (which I got!) but this week found out our entire department is being restructured. I'm being moved to a new team in a new position, working on...

Gotta love when you're in a meeting with stakeholders and one guy is obsessed with the new feature being "simple" 🙄 Of course I want it to be simple, devs *generally* don't go out of their way to make something complicated. It happens as a result of ever increasing business requirements.

Going on a trip to NJ for work tomorrow, and trying to explain it to my kid. They've grasped the idea that my wife and them are taking me to the airport but I don't think they quite understand I'll be gone until Thursday lol I'm going to miss them so much 😭

Back in the land of the living after a much needed mental health break from social media. I was spending waaay too much time obsessing over all the horrible shit going on and it was seriously messing with my head.

I FINALLY GOT NEXTCLOUD TO WORK. Like I thought, it was something incredibly minor and stupid. I forgot that I changed the port apache was listening to by default. The only way I figured this out was recovering part of the file using RecoverPy. Pablo Lecolinet if you're out there I owe you a beer

Ugh what a week. Since my last post, my wife got sick with norovirus, my cat came down with bladder stones, and I nuked my nginx proxy configs for my home server 😭 Wife is feeling better and got medicine for Lily, but restoring the configs is a work in progress.

Just got my new PC to post! Still feeling a little sick and completely out of energy so I'll probably have to put off installing Arch until tomorrow and just run memtest overnight. Will take some pictures tomorrow as well 😎

Feeling a lot better today, still getting occasional waves of nausea but I'm otherwise symptom-free and able to actually get out of bed. I just count myself lucky that I only get super sick like that once or twice a year.

Looks like I got the norovirus that's been making the rounds. The last 12 hours have been absolutely hellish 🤢 Can barely stomach water and saltine crackers, but I'm at least not having to kneel before the porcelain god every hour Stay safe y'all and wash your hands religiously. This shit sucks

My progress so far on my TOTEM build! Almost done with the switch sockets, then on to the microcontrollers. It quickly became apparent that my soldering skills are very, very rusty. A few dodgy welds but everything should hopefully work 😅 Thankfully I have a backup board in case it doesn't

Got on my PC for the first time this week and immediately installed ghostty. It's weird to be excited about a new terminal emulator I know 😅 So far I'm loving it! It just seems very well thought out and polished. Since it has proper image support it'll probably end up replacing Alacritty

This image features a snowy urban street scene with a gloved hand holding a Dunkin' coffee cup and bag in the foreground. Overlaid on the image is text styled like an Elden Ring title screen, with "Dunkin's End" as the main title and "Wintry Mix" below it, complete with a red horizontal line. The overlay is intended as a humorous nod to the game's aesthetic, contrasting the mundane scene with dramatic fantasy elements.

Guys, you're never going to believe this but I've been talking to the real Elon Musk and he has a great investment opportunity for me. We met here on Bluesky but we moved our conversation to Signal.

Yes I would be interested in investing but my wife just texted. She said she lost her diamond necklace at the club. I need to go find it! I'm so sorry Elon!

My wife is saying that your pinkies are short. I told her that's probably just a surgery that billionaires are getting now. Did you get pinkie-shortening surgery?

Are you kidding me? You can let me know when you're ready to invest.

I'm sorry Elon! She's just saying it might not be you! I know it's you, but she said I can only pull out money from savings if it's actually you! I tried to tell her! Is the pinkie thing a genetic condition or was it surgery?

Kinda getting the urge to run Arch again when I build my new PC... I love EndeavourOS but it's been like 3 years since I last used Arch and I need to re-up my "I use arch btw" creds And if I mess up my install I can just go back to EOS like it was my plan all along 😅

Just finished my platelet donation. I always feel drained after I'm done but it's so worth it. If you aren't afraid of needles and a little bit of pain please consider donating! There's always a constant need for blood, platelets, and plasma ❤️ Platelets especially, they can't be stored long term!

Every time I go to the dentist this comic from The Far Side pops into my head

A comic from The Far Side. A man is reclining on a dentist's chair. His mouth is open with several tools and tubes protruding out of it. The man is looking up at the dentist with wide eyes.

A dentist is standing over him with a tennis ball in his hand and his assistant is standing behind him holding another tool. The comic is captioned "Now open even wider, Mr. Stevens... Just out of curiosity, we're going to see if we can also cram in this tennis ball".

Looks like today is the day I start to fall behind on Advent of Code 😅 Had a dentist appointment then in a couple hours I'm donating platelets so I probably won't be feeling well enough to finish. Still happy with how far I've gotten so far, in past years I usually gave up by day 6

Been producing a new album for a few years now and I’m super proud of it even if it’s taking way longer than expected. If there was a magic button that would let AI finish it for me, I wouldn’t push it. The MAKING STUFF part is the best part of the whole process. The work is the reason I do it.
