My instance (and my blog, etc) will be going offline tomorrow as I disassemble my servers to relocate them. Here's hoping everything comes back online afterwards!

Recently started geo-locating the IPs accessing my servers. Notably this includes hits on my GoToSocial instance, which is likely accounting for the huge cluster in Europe.

As someone who values privacy and enjoys hosting my own services, I tend not to use Cloudflare for anything beyond a domain registrar. I'm going to need to relocate my servers, soon, however, so I may have found a handy use for a Cloudflare worker […]

University system just told me I needed to update my "Security Questions" and wouldn't let me finish logging in until I did. Really? Security Questions? I feel like I'm back in the 2000s. And literally all the question options are based on information of public record. So dumb.

What happened to all the cool 5.25 bay accessories? I there used to be VU meters, speakers, cup holders, displays, even cigar lighters... Now the most exciting options are some SSD bays or maybe a couple fan controllers. I want computers to be fun again!

I swapped out the curved monitor that I had been using for a few years for a flat one, but I guess my eyes had gotten used to the curved display, because now the flat one looks like the middle is bulging out at me. Very strange illusion.

New #antenna was delivered late yesterday. It's in the style of an mfj 1899t, with a telescoping vertical element and a loading coil with a jumper. It sort of works. It's nearly impossible to get a reasonable SWR on by following the instructions, but I can get it kind of close and then finish […]

Probably a silly question, but whenever I update (apt upgrade) this one #Debian #linux server I have, I need to manually run dkms before I can access my #ZFS pool again... Is this supposed to be automatic?

Anyone interested in a pair of #Sun #Netra X1s? No idea if they work and they don't have drives or RAM. Just wanted to put it out there before they get recycled.

Finally built a G90 to TRRS adapter. Combined with a USB soundcard, it should make for a simple, portable data-mode set-up.

EveryHam.org is _technically_ online now. It's currently just a placeholder, but the real site is in development. There are still bugs in the submission/scoring logic that need to be worked out. I'll be looking for some folks to test it once I get the obvious bugs worked out, if anyone is […]

Does anyone else have a domain (or multiple) that they registered because they had a great idea for a website, but then never actually created the website? Did you eventually decide to let it go, or do you keep renewing it in hopes that you'll eventually get the motivation to use it?
