  • I learned that the CUPS config on Mac, at least as of about a year ago, was set to save a copy of everything ever printed to an obscure directory on the machine. Was discussed in relation to setting up a secure encryption scheme where you print out your keys, wouldn’t want something like that just hanging out for any malware to come gobble up.

  • I got an intel 12100 running the server, its a solid efficiency chip and allows me to also transcode as necessary. Also, I've got a bunch of drives totally up to 24TB right now, I'm sure I could find a way to connect that to a Pi, but my build is efficient enough for me, especially with the price of power in the US. The price isnt super clear from the bill from our apartment, but the local rates are around $.16 / kwh

    As for Tabletop Sim, I realy do need to give that one a shot. I think I even already bought it, just haven't played.

  • Let’s see, I got adhd and up until well… next month when I get my first post-college paycheck… been pretty limited on funding. With that in mind

    • home automation
    • home server w automated media acquisition, and a random assortment of other services
    • Fixing things, started out of need to save money… but now I just enjoy doing it. From phones to cars, and soon clothes (just got a sewing machine)
    • Scripting/automating random tasks, like clipping all the digital coupons for my grocery store. Or auto booking vaccines back when they weren’t so easy to get.
    • I like a good sounding audio system / headphones… but idk if my small collection really constitutes a hobby.
    • wife’s got me birding a bit, she’s way more excited about it than I, but I always at least enjoy the walks, and occasionally see something neat.
    • oh yeah, photography, mostly to capture moments and places for myself… but I’m venturing into trying to get a bit more artsy to try and convey whatever it was that intrigued me to take the photo to others who weren’t there.
    • board games, but I like the social aspect, and I have a hard time finding people who aren’t like… idk what to call them, but people that seem to be autistic and have board games as a special interest. At least that’s who mostly goes to boardgame meetups around here.
    • I guess I like collecting useful tools, for the above fixing
    • VR intrigues me, and I’m starting a job soon where I’ll get to spend more time working in and developing for VR/AR/XR, and with the money from said job I’ll probably invest in some better home vr gear
    • in college, I really liked being a tech consultant for our student org, learned about and implemented everything from event live-streaming to documentation management systems to web hosting hackathon judging platforms.

    So yeah, idk… a little bit of everything

  • A true DIYer!

    Though, sometimes you get lucky and despite it costing more… you end up with a better product, say worth £150 but also gained at least 50¥ in knowledge and entertainment/joy. A worthwhile investment. Sometimes.
