Wait... those exist?

Writing lore is pretty cheap unless you start getting very into fancy notebooks for it. My, my daughter and a couple friends like writing stories set in fictional works and sharing them.

Honestly other than that...

I put down £50 on a raspberry pi to lean about more about computers when I started a new job.... I'm trying to find a grand to upgrade my 3 pi homelab into something with a few more teeth.

Mechanical keyboards... You can guess...

Alphafold2 Pretty cool tech that I used in my degree to solve an impossible test posed by my tutor.

The fact that this thing can get so close to x-ray crystallography results is just amazing.

I have 3 rpi4 4gb doing job that I use practically every day.

Pi-1

  • wireguard

Pi-2 portainer agent

  • bedrock Minecraft server

Pi-3 portainer main running omv6

  • Kavita - amazing comic book organiser and reader
  • emby - Plex and jellyfish both crapped out, apparently due to library size corrupting the dB, emby is very nice though.
  • homepage - nice homepage for everything
  • paperless (5 containers!) - just installed document organiser
  • metube - great yt-dl web wrapper

Honestly, has to be my favourite series. There's just so much to it.

After being a sci-fi nerd for a long time, I want to read through some of the classics that inspire it. So I'm reading The Epic of Gilgamesh, with Lucian's true history next.

Sounds pretentious I know but it's pretty cool seeing where some stuff originated from.

Anyone have any I should add the the list then let me know.

Amazing series of books that are up in my top three, still trying to find time to read Leviathan Falls (the final book). The story gets crazy.

This happened to me too. Got a job in bioinformatics... Got really into the tech side of things and now have:

Wireguard - RPI 4 4gb dedicated which I might depreciate now I figured out how to use duckdns and port forwarding properly.

Vault - RPI 4 4gb - OMV6 w/ portainer running half a dozen containers

Docket-1 - RPI 4 4gb - portainer agent for Vault only running a Minecraft server

They all run great but I definitely need something with a bit more Welly for Minecraft. I have most of the parts for a total replacement just need to get a Ryzen 5 and done

Stargate!

SGA - there was a planned season 6 where Atlantis ended up going through time, then to the triangulum galaxy and more time hijinks. Atlantis Vs Atlantis and peace in the Pegasus galaxy. You can find it on the josephmallozi blog as Stargate Atlantis virtual season 6

SGU - had so much potential and season 2 was good. It ended with the crew going into stasis to travel the gap between galaxies...

I agree, apparently they are an old caste too. Though that's probably just to work them I to the universe.

Inverse article talks about it a bit.

Someone finally said it. I tried War of the World's twice and couldn't get past Chapter 1. My in-laws mocked me for shunning it.

Honestly I'm pretty happen with the inverted aeropress method. Wait a couple of mins once the kettles boiled so it's ~80°C, brew for a couple and press.

Makes a decent brew.

Although gotta say, my wife got me some fancy coffee bags ( ground coffee in a paper mesh bag), legit had me thinking about switching.
