An electronic ring that records voice memos… but can never be recharged.

Dragon Quest 2. Still can’t beat the end boss…

MOO! (Masters of Orion.) MOO2, too.

I use phones without Sims, but it’s because I’m cheap and I have a collection of weird phones.

I already have an e-ink second screen that sits on the back of an iPhone… 4? 5? It’s collecting dust in a drawer, but I swear this is a recycle of an old project. It’s already been done!

Also, I have an old Yotaphone.

I run substreamer and tailscale to access my home navidrome. Works like a charm.

I like your tiles. I even bought a t-shirt with one on it!

I have a docker compose immich that I somehow managed to kill fourteen minutes after convincing my wife to switch to it.

My older sister best the snot it of me… And anyone else who picked on me. I no longer speak at her.

Calgary Shawarma. I don’t know his name, but my grandfather was sick and I was stuck at work (working on a phone line repair at the auto shop next door.) Dead of winter, miserable cold. Then my mom calls: Grandpa died. Shawarma guy overheard this, I’m sitting in my van crying. Knock on my window. Guy hands me a Shawarma. “Boss, you should come in to my shop, have some food, get warm. No charge.” He sat and listened to my grandpa stories until I had it together and could go back to finish my job.

Seriously, total stranger, and he was there for me on one of my worst days, and I’ll never forget.

Me too!

I’m a bit farther along, but it’s all been trial and error (and error, and error…) So, commenting because I would also like some of this info. My DNS is a disaster! Still using IPs to access my VMs, mostly.

Oh, I’ve done messes like this… I had a machine whose UEFI had like five things on it. This doesn’t solve it all, but I really like refind for taking care of whacky multi boot scenarios. Just install it and it scans all the drives in a system for OSes and gives you a menu on startup.
There are various VM solutions out there to handle running one-off windows programs, by the way. I have a copy of Win11 inside a Proxmox VM that runs those few times I need desktop Office for something specific. I’m sure others will come in with better solutions, but those are the ones I’ve used.

See, now I’m curious if it worked… Hey, if it worked and you don’t see this, please let me know!

Get one of those kid’s seats for the bike, get a large stuffed… Tiger? Yeah, Tiger. Put the hat on the Tiger, strap the Tiger into the kid’s seat. Nobody will mock the Tiger for not wearing a helmet.

My loops are in my pocket all the time and my tinnitus has gone away since I started wearing them.

I have an original framework. I swapped the RAM and SSD in seconds. The add-on ports make changing functions trivial. I swap my HDMI to a wired Ethernet port on the regular, and the expansion cards actually work through a dock, too. I really like it. It does throw the odd “USB port has malfunctioned” error from time to time, but it’s quite rare.

Damn autocorrect!
