This guy used to come into my local years ago on his own and talk to everyone. He was a friendly enough older guy, had a few drinks and went home to his partner.

A list of my default hardware and software for 2024, taken from here and expanded on.

Potentially a long one this time round. Lot’s of changes/updates/additions to my homelab. I’m also still managing a second homelab for my parents which brings it’s own set of challenges but is a lot of fun.

It’s been about 2 weeks since I was in hospital and things are starting to sink in. Firstly just how serious things got and secondly the trajectory my life is/was taking.

The title pretty much sums it up, BPEs suck. How did we get here # For most of the year I’d been feeling a bit off it, dizzy spells and being exhausted, I put this down to ME/CFS being a pain as per usual.

I’m half writing this for the people mentioned at the end and my own records since when I say the past 5 days has been crazy I really mean it. You can read a bit of back story here.

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.

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.

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.
