Been rebinging Warehouse 13 (dumb but I love it). It stayed as an attempt to trick myself into doing some long overdue paperwork - even doing it slowly while half watching show is better than continuing to avoid it completely. That worked for a day or so, but now I’ve descended to just cycling through savoury and sweet snacks and watching a season a day…
In my head canon, Warehouse 13 is just a continuation of Friday the 13th: The Series, where they track down cursed antiques their crazy uncle sold before they wreak more havoc on the world.
Forgot about that show!
Work believe it not. Been trying to fiddle around and get an integration working so the team working on it don’t take 3 times the effort. I really should let go and let them try it out themselves but it’s a fun distraction.
I bought a new domain name for my indie web presence, so that I can keep my boring professional stuff separate.
Oh nice. What kind of ‘indie stuff’ are you making?
I did see that you’re into writing. That’s cool. I’ve been trying to stick with it. I have a decent amount of ideas for stories but not enough typed out. =/
Oh nice. What kind of ‘indie stuff’ are you making?
So far, it’s just my morning pages. I figure if I share my most raw and unfinished stuff, then it will be mentally easier to share the stuff I actually put polish into.
I have this server running an Quartz frontend, that I can just push markdown files to. But yeah, that’ll probably move to a subdomain, and the main site will be wacky neocities type stuff, idk. Something rough and fun, though.
I have 3 domains… I need help
That’s a totally reasonable number!
Also, just an FYI you can use nginx as to serve multiple domains/websites from a single server on the cheap. ;)
Yeah, I know how to manage a server thankfully lol. I am planning to split the 3 domains for different purposes since as of now I only use them for my email.
Rain World Modding
I already know C# so I thought it wouldn’t be that difficult, but I was very wrong. Rain World is a game made with Unity, but the only part they use Unity for is rendering. And the game also doesn’t ship with debug symbols. Doesn’t help that the modding wiki is outdated at places and incomplete. Took a lot of guess work and looking at other mods to figure out what to do, but I got there at the end and learned a lot.
KCD2
Came here to say the same. I can’t stop playing
I was a huge fan of the first one and this new one looks even better. I guess I’m waiting for it to go on some sort of sale
What’s that? Mine was a game cslled The Dark mod
I had to look it up myself. It means Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. It’s a new medieval RPG video game.
Yeah, think like Skyrim, but no fantasy. Instead historically very accurate, and a level of realism that is tough, but still easy for casuals. The characters, stories, writing, and voice acting is excellent too. A very beautiful, deep, and captivating game. Excellent if you love being a part of a unique “defy all to overcome” movie.
Ham radio. Still at the discovery stage of whats what, thinking about what I want to get into, which means lots of fun learning about everything, as usual in a totally random manor. Trying to avoid getting sidetracked by the VHF/UHF stuff as it would just rapidly spiral out of control.
Just need to knuckle down and study for the foundation exam so I can actually get started transmitting. I think I have the QRP setup I want more or less nailed down that would tide me over till I can move up to intermediate later on. Would give me a nice QRP setup for travel and allow me to treat myself for passing my intermediate with a proper shack radio with a bit more power.
I’m more interested in its lesser known cousin, Rum Ham Radio.
Well, I crocheted a beret today and started a trihexaflexagon for my wife’s birthday the other day. So I suppose it’s crochet this week.
That’s rad. How did the beret turn out?
Also, this is the first time reading out trihexaflexagon and also getting a refresher as to what it is. It’s a really fun word to say. Makes me feel like a top tier rapper when I say it out loud. haha
It turned out pretty well, it was my first time improvising a pattern from looking at a finished piece. I ran out of yarn right before transitioning from the top of the beret to the head band, but my wife let me use some of her black yarn to finish it off.
There’s a little bit of a visual indication that the black starts before the end of the round, but it’s only like 10 stitches (out of 100) so it’s not very noticeable.
The flu. The flu has been my rabbit hole for the week 😭
Wait until you see the pounds just melt away on the flu diet. /s
get well soon!
Motorcycle gear. I now know I can buy armoured(!!) leggings that go under my jeans, and an armoured(!!) leather jacket that looks kickass over a hoodie.
ATGATT!
Please rate the effectiveness of these garments against zombie attack. Asking for a friend.
I second this. But I’m asking for a future friend.
Ooo. I just bought a klx 300. I should look into armour.
Voice cloning with python. My end goal, which of course I will never finish, is to create a little server or box that you can ask questions or send text to that will sound like me. My dad died over ten years ago and I would love to hear his voice again. I plan to make something so my kids can hear me again after I’m gone.
Oh yea, I had that on my backlog to do as well. Currently pivoted to figuring out how to design a keyboard so I can 3D print one
Also on my list. At least the PCB. I have a keychron I’m ok with now but it’s not 100% what I want. Maybe 96%.
What I really really want is something designed like the Ocreeb MK2 or the beyblock20 all running QMK. But I’m not sure I’ll ever get to that.
I used this and it worked very well. I realize it’s paid and not self hosted but an alternative and works surprising well.
The creativity and inquisitive curiousity in this thread is honestly inspiring and heartwarming.
My week was spent in object oriented code and log burning stove installation. The cherry on the top was putting my knee through the glass so last night was devoted to thinking about how it can be repaired without spending more money.
i bought an orange juicer. been making orange juice every other day. it’s awesome
and i’m not even over my dishwasher high
Drove through Weldon, NC —> list of famous people —> Garland H. White —> 28th infantry of the USCT (US Colored Troops) —> Buffalo Soilders —> Brigadier General Charles Young Tree (NPS) —> Brigadier General Charles H. Young
So I took myself on a Black History Month tour while riding to daughters gymnastics competition.
Do I have to pick one?
OpenPGP use on Apple devices MainStage as a front-end for my bass rig MainStage for backing tracks in a live setting LilyGO TDeck 3-octave G major arpeggios
That all sounds like some big brains kinda stuff. If I may ask, what does OpenPGP cryptography have to do with live music mixing/balancing?
Haha, absolutely nothing. OpenPGP just happened to show up somewhere along the way and decided to vibe with the music-making stuff!
Toying with the idea of running my own email server. Lots of people say this is a bad idea.
Been doing lots of research. I have a VPS for it already and want to set it up with postfix, dovecot, roundcube, and mariadb.
I don’t want to host locally because I don’t want it to depend on my internet connection and because my ip address will likely change at some point and most residential IPs are blacklisted.
But also don’t want to host it on someone else’s machine unless I can totally encrypt the drive. I have been looking at how to do full drive encryption on a vps hard drive by adding dropbear ssh to the initsys so I can ssh in and enter the decryption password when rebooting.
This also doesn’t seem ideal, because it would require me to be available to do this for every reboot.
So still researching to see what other options there are.
Ive had great success with Mailcow on my Vps, they have good Docs to follow and also setup the DNS. Just wanted to drop that suggestion :)
If you host your own email, expect your email to land in most people’s SPAM folders unless you warm up the domain first.
If your email is going to be important / mission critical, let someone else host it.
Yeah, my plan will be to use a domain that I don’t actually use for my email to start with, make sure that I can reliably send and receive mail with it. Then add my normal email domain for sending-only to start, will just need to add it to my spf and dkim records. Once I test with that and verify that I can reliably send mail then I can fully switch things over.
Still trying to decide what do do about full disk encryption.
Thinking that maybe I can host a decryption key on private github repo, have the preboot environment use a local key to download the decryption key to ephemeral storage and use it to unlock the disk. This doesn’t make it truly secure because anyone with access to the boot partition could figure out what is happening and do it manually. but it would make it difficult enough that a bored sysadmin at the vps provider couldn’t just browse me data easily.
I’d really like it better if I could have it send me a push notification to my phone to authorize the unlock. Maybe I can set that up with how ever I decide to host the decryption key.
If you’re email is going to be important / mission critical, let someone else host it.
yeah, I know. that why I want to do it.
As other people said, getting the mail delivered is the hard part. Check if your mail is received by Google, Microsoft, because apparently they blacklist by default.
You can do everything yourself and then set up a relay for sending, so all mail is sent through someone else who can make sure it is delivered. Then you could get something like purelymail, which is 10$/year to deliver your mail. (I have no relation with purelymail, I am their customer, but it took me quite a while to find a mail relay that is not for sending bulk spam but for real people).
That sounds really fun
