So, a bunch of my services run, or rather, ran, on an old Intel NUC 8 that I bought back in 2020 and have mostly used as a “random stuff goes here” server. A year and a half ago the fan on it died, so I bought a cheap replacement fan on Amazon and all was good. And over time I started hosting more and more stuff on...

At this point it is super clear that I probably have ME/CFS. This has not been determined by a doctor (not for lack of trying!), but by a lifetime of experience and the fact that the issues I have match the profile pretty much exactly. I’d be tempted to blame the bad case of COVID I got back in 2024 but the...

Over the past year or so my fatigue has been getting significantly worse. It’s almost always brought about by post-exertional malaise, which is one of the keystone symptoms of ME/CFS, which has no known treatment, just mitigations at best.

Recently, James Hoffmann conducted a coffee fermentation project, along similar lines to his previous decaf project. Since this project was based entirely around caffeinated coffee, and I am quite caffeine-sensitive, I opted to just do this as a risky “drink one cup every few days” thing rather than a formal...

And when I do end up in the city I get so fed up with the constant presence of...

I made some changes to rss2discord, most notably: Now it batches updates into a single post It lets you provide a custom message which can be used to send a role ping or the like I am mostly posting this blog post to test the latter in production on my server, but also it’s nice to have more visibility for...

So the Steam Frame pricing is finally announced. 256GB for $1059, 1TB for $1299. I have Thoughts. Currently I use a Bigscreen Beyond and a bunch of basestations. The basestation tracking quality is awful and has been getting worse over time, and I definitely want to switch to inside-out tracking. Also I’ve been less...

I will be performing at Song Fight! Live!, which is in Seattle again this year, on Saturday, and I am also looking forward to seeing those who are coming from out of town this year. (And the in-town folks, who I seem to only actually see at Song Fight! Live! anyway.) I am woefully out of shape and in so much chronic...
