Following a definitely-not-on-a-whim purchase of a new GPU, I decided it was time to fold back into the Linux ecosystem after a couple years off. This time I feel like I've got a better understanding of how computing should work for me. My drives are wiped, begrudging Linux + Windows (audible groan) dual boot is set up, we're back. Last time I was daily driving Arch, i3wm, and an NVIDIA GPU. I was…
Tough week this week. Nothing really going on. I've been the most sick I've been in years from this seasons cold . Truly horrific, bedridden for a week. Listening Maybe it's because I haven't properly listened to music since getting this horrible cold but last week's new music mix has yielded some incredible finds. New band unlocked: ASAVA. They have a 3 part collection of videos for their most…
Creating Ended up purchasing a year of the No Fusion camera app for my new phone. It's quite fun to use, and the weeks without it I found myself saying "Gee, I should buy that app". Might get some more photos up soon. Decided to vibe code out a CalDAV client for my Radicale server. I'm finding that Apple Reminders is fine for most tasks, but I'd like something that's truly my own and only has…
I've made these enough and shared them with others enough that I'm gonna put it up on the blog. My partner is even requesting them to share with her friends. Oh god, I've become the kind of person who puts stories before recipes. Get on with it... Anzac Biscuits Recipe I definitely stole this from another recipe website years ago. glhf. Ingredients 1 cup rolled oats 3/4 cup desiccated coconut 120g…
It's become very cumbersome to edit my CSS and the modified JS for images galleries in the Bearblog editors now that they've grown to be quite large. Most advice I've found (so far) was to just copy/paste right into the header and footer directives, or the styling view in the theme settings. This works perfectly well but I want version control, and the comfort of my own editor with vim bindings.…
I don't really have the motivation to write a full review of this new album, but I did have time to write a little something about each track as I was listening this morning. What I will say is this is definitely a recommended listen, but I've not decided if it's a buy yet. Tracks Track Title Comment 01 Decades Classic MiW, great start. 02 log_in//crash_out Slow breakdown, bleghs, A+. 03 R.I.P…
Listening Been trying a bit of Frank Ocean this week. I'm not really sure where I stand with their music yet. There are some nice tracks on the blond album but some real weird ones that don't feel like they fit. Crow Fisher (feat. Liam Ello) Crimson Child was a massive surprise share from a friend, this gave me some serious stank face. Track of the month for sure. Building I've finished migrating…

Since setting up personal "cloud" storage on my server it became apparent that my partner could get in on this too and finally access years worth of important files without having to pay public cloud rates for the privilege. Unfortunately Syncthing is designed to be single user, so you’d have to run multiple instances on the hub to achieve what you want. What makes this even more complicated is…
Trying something on this week. A small weekly post for things I'm consuming or thinking about. Watching Picked up Star Trek: TOS again after abandoning it a while ago after ~5-6 episodes. Quite enjoying it now that the novelty of the hilarious acting and choreography has worn off. It's quite a charming show, I get it now. Finished season 3 of Clarkson's Farm. Didn't expect to like this as much as…
