  • For the most part, my stats were what I was expecting but I didn’t realize how many games I’d played. Exactly 100 different games played, 49 of which were new for me (part of me really wishes I’d gotten 50/100 exactly lol).

    I was happy to see Stationeers cracked my top 3. I only started playing it during the last couple days of September but it’s been my most consistent game outside of Factorio since picking it up.






  • The best part of having a homelab/home server is the reproducible dopamine hits. First you’ll get some dopamine just getting the thing up and running, but then each service I decide to tackle and implement gives me a whole new hit of dopamine. Most services you can get up in a day or two of tinkering/learning even as a system noob like me. On top of that, if you don’t manage to get it working, it’s pretty easy to scrap the attempt and try something easier.

    Then you also get dopamine hits whenever something breaks and you manage to fix it. 10/10 would recommend.








  • Yes, it’s one of the main use cases.

    “You can use digiKam’s import capabilities to easily transfer photos, raw files, and videos directly from your camera and external storage devices (SD cards, USB disks, etc.). The application allows you to configure import settings and rules that process and organize imported items on-the-fly.”





  • I work in emergency management but I’ve always been interested in tech as a hobby. That led me to start self-hosting Plex on my desktop about 6-7 years ago. Now I’ve got a dedicated machine running unraid with about 20 to 30 different docker services.

    I really enjoy being able to figure out how to setup a service and then being able to be fully in control of how it works. Beyond just enjoying tinkering with the system to learn, I enjoy being able to troubleshoot and fix problems without relying on large companies.
