This week I had some pretty crappy news, I had a chest x-ray on Saturday because my lungs feel like I’m breathing razor blades. The nice doctor said that it was most likely down to post/long COVID. It’s kinda a good thing to know because that explains why I’ve been feeling so grim since I last had COVID. The x-ray shows I have scarring and dark spots on my lungs which is what’s causing all the discomfort. I’ve got a blue inhaler in case which helps a bit but for the most part it just sucks.

After over a year I’m going to take down my personal Lemmy server. Running it on Hetzner has been relatively easy and with only a few hiccups along the way, for a single user instance it uses about 20-30gb of storage for it’s db and image cache.

August/September update on my Homelab

Title pretty much sums it up, when you see this post the theme will have changed. PaperMod has served me well over the years but I was getting that itch to try something different and it didn’t support having drop down menus. Having the ability to have drop down menus is quite important now, I want to keep my menu clean but still have room for pages like slashpages (I’ll be adding more soon) and pages that don’t fit into my blog but are still important like my watch collection.

June/July update on my Homelab
