- I wrote the obligatory 'why I left one billionaire's social media website and why replacing with a different billionaire's site isn't going to happen' post. I debated whether I should write it at all, but I was getting tired of repeating the same answers every time someone asked me why I wasn't on facebook or how bluesky is
'like omg, so much better, you guys!' (spoiler - it isn't).
- I added a few tech books to my physical inventory, but I haven't actually updated the inventory on this site yet. I'll be doing that... soonish. I'd love to blame the long, cold, winter nights for my lack of motivation lately, but I've just been mentally exhausted since November.

- I set up an Owncast server two years ago and then never used it. I realized that that kind of streaming just wasn't for me and I took the server down last week.
- In its stead I set up an icecast server. I still haven't quite decided what I want to put on there (which is why there are no links to it yet). Setting up an icecast server is something that I've wanted to do ever since I found out about it a million years ago, but I just never got around to doing it until now.
