I see a lot of buzz around Gemini - guess I'm going to have to give it a look - seems pretty neat.

Alright, site is back online - I know people like to dog on wordpress but I think it's great for what it is.

Alright, just going to go back to trusty dusty wordpress.

yeahhh eleventy is a no go, this is trash.

2 hours into trying to get an eleventy blog set up i'm beginning to wonder wtf i'm doing with my life.

Main issues at this point is that I only have a rudimentary understanding of blender, but I guess that's just something time will solve.

Also a lot of the tools are Windows based and while Wine certainly works - mostly - there are some catches.

Well after three days of fiddling and learning a lot of new stuff I got my first custom armor in Fallout 4!

Updated mastodon!

My 2021 "Learn something new" goal was to learn some basics of 3d modeling. I started today because I had some free time using Blender.

Results thus far are slow haha, it's very outside my usual comfort zone.

Okay I just impulse bought Fallout 4, so i guess i know what I'm going to be doing...

spending a ton of time modding instead of playing it!

Last really critical thing I need to get done is offsite backups.

I'm not totally sold on Nextcloud's new dashboard though.

Updated Nextcloud today, fixed a few misc server issues and got my zfs backups to the external drive going again.

Oh and a new set of fans for the front because one was dead and the other makes a weird noise.

Alright I think everything on the new nas/media machine looks good. Probably a two port NIC in it's future but I don't think there's much left to do but shift it back into the rack.
