Score! I was helping out a friend of mine vacate his office since his
business has gone totally remote and he gifted me with some old
computers and hardware (thx Matt!) I keep acquiring other people's
discarded computers to repurpose...prolly because that's just what I
do and have the means. Some of them still fairly recent. These will
be upgrades for my existing servers at home and then some.
Lately, I've been busy with getting more of my computer stuff
organized and shifting things around. I can't believe how much stuff
I have acquired over the years. I have a mess of cables I have been
sorting through and organizing into separate bins, complete with lids
and labels. Same with the accessories and various peripherals. For
some reason, I seem to keep most things, even the old or broken stuff
because I seem to keep finding ways to repurpose stuff.
There has been much going on in the world that I have not been paying
attention to. I haven't really felt like looking into it and even if
I did, I feel that it might cause some unnecessary worry and reduce
my effectiveness to my family and those around me. I pretty much
just find out enough, do with it what I can, and discard the rest.
I have not been doing much public writing either. There is a lot of
noise out there and I figured that now is not the time for me to add
to it. So I have been doing what I can to lay low, keep safe, and be
available to help others. Now is not the time to be part of the
problem.
I do try to keep current with reading up on the gopher holes I
usually visit, though I don't comment much or provide feedback. I do
read quite a bit. There seems to be less regular content than before
and I have not been contributing much. Sometimes I visit geminispace
to see what is out there, but my visits are not as frequent or
consistent and I lose the continuity. Same with mastodon and
pixelfed. Right now, I guess I don't really know where to put myself
and just end up doing other things that are not online or social.
Mostly stuff like domestic chores or going on long walks in the woods
or playing my guitar or whatever during my spare time. I do pop in
every now and then in COM or IRC during certain radio shows, but even
that has been inconsistent. I guess I feel more comfort doing stuff
offline lately. So if any of you's been wondering, I'm still here,
just quiet for now.
