Stuff I Did

Basement server cleanup – I cleaned up all my old decommissioned homelab servers, hard drives, cell phones, and digital cameras, and dropped them off at PCs for People for recycling. This was a multi-week project and occupied a lot of my spare time.

Wine in the Woods – I received tickets for Wine in the Woods at Symphony Woods in Columbia, MD, USA. Oliver Brewing was present, so I had a couple Drink Me I’m Irish dry Irish stouts. My wife really enjoyed the wine slushies from Running Hare Vineyard.

Crafty Travels – I visited Prospect Point Brewing in Frederick, MD, USA; Inverness Brewing in Monkton, MD, USA; Peabody Heights Brewery in Baltimore, MD, USA; and Rock Hall Brewing Co in Rock Hall, MD, USA.

 

Stuff I Found

Tickbuddy and Tickdroid – Self-hosted habit tracking Nextcloud plugin and Android companion.

Rufus 4.14 now has the option to exclude Outlook, Teams, and Copilot when creating a Windows 11 bootable USB from ISO. It already had the options to disable CPU, RAM, and TPM requirements, so this is a great addition.

 

Stuff I Watched

My wife and I have been getting caught up on the Chicagos.

We also watched Remarkably Bright Creatures, You’re Dating a Narcissist, Protector, Good Fortune, Merv, You, Me & Tuscany, The Reluctant Nanny, and Parental Guidance.

I’ve been rewatching Person of Interest and How I Met Your Mother. I also rewatched the Matrix series, and watched The Animatrix for the first time.
