Weekly Recap 2025W41
Stuff I Did
I had my chemo port removed on Thursday. Now I just need to keep the cats from crawling around on my chest for a couple weeks.
We got the hot tub setup for the season.
We also watched the Morgan State University Homecoming parade. I never plan on it, but once a year the bands practicing wakes me up, and we eventually move down the block and take a seat and enjoy it.
Stuff I Tried
Played with PikaOS a bit in live mode. I may eventually give it a try on real hardware.
Weekly Recap 2025W40
Welp, my blogging severely slowed this year. I've tried to do a few things to make it more active, which haven't worked out. Going to try again, with a weekly recap. This'll give me 7 days to update as to what happened the prior week. Let's see if it works! I'm going to separate it into Stuff I Did, Stuff I Learned, Stuff I Tried (probably mostly software and distros), Stuff I Found (links and the like), and Stuff I Watched.
Welp, I'm using Pandora again
A number of years ago I gave up on personalized music streaming services. I had used Pandora for the longest time, but tried to remove reliance from any service that required an account and a proprietary app, in the name of privacy. I opted to use streaming radio stations with open source apps that were privacy friendly. On Android I most recently used Transistor and on Linux I most recently used Shortwave. Both great, simple applications.
