My plans for time off might have to be put on hold, we have more and more people at work dropping out. Not from COVID 19 thankfully, but due to colds or wanting to social distance. One of my co-workers is taking a couple weeks off as of today to protect his family. I’m going to be playing it by ear, but this is going to have a bit of an impact on my schedule, and my time off might be cancelled unless I either become ill, or conditions become hazardous enough for me to get a doctor’s note.
Anyway, the reason I bring this up is because this might have to delay the website move until this shit gets sorted. I want to make sure I have a decent amount of time set aside to migrate things accordingly without having to rush on a work night. I’ll be installing the wiki as well as setting up the email server, which looks straight forward on paper but with Linux you never know. :trollface: I’ve already read a few tutorials for other things that lacked certain details.
I’m also looking into getting a new gaming laptop. My brother has finally entered the workforce and obviously needs to have a laptop with swagger, so I’ll be selling him mine and giving myself an upgraded laptop. I’m still researching what I want to go with. Probably ROG, nothing lower than a GTX 1070, and I also need to make sure it has at least three drive bays like my current portable rig. I haven’t decided if I’ll stay with Skylake or go with a newer generation, Ryzen on the laptop front isn’t quite there yet for me unfortunately… so for now I’ll have to continue using Intel and NVidia on the laptop side while I’m pure red on the desktop side. Ah well, on the brightside having two different chipsets and graphics cards gives me something to write about from both sides of the hardware rainbow.
Speaking of hardware; has anyone seen the new controller for the PS5? They’re no longer calling it a Dualshock, but rather a DualSense controller. The design looks like the zombie corpse of Steve Jobs came back from the dead and flogged 50% of the design. I’m not saying it’s a bad controller, for all I know it is probably just as good as any of Sony’s previous lineup if not more so, but that design looks quite… plain.
