My first day out and about with my new Steam Deck was a success! I tested a bit of Sonic Mania, Team Racing, and Stray. All of them ran as if they were natively ported! The battery life so far seems to be holding up. One of my friends joined …
Note: If you don’t want to be spoiled you might want to skip this post. Like I briefly mentioned in my previous post, I’ve been spending my weekend poking and proding at the brand new Stanley Parable! It’s a re-re-release of the original Half Life 2 mod that became a …
I got all of my gameservers up and running under AlmaLinux! Tonight was CentOS 7’s final night of usage. Now the future of my servers is much more secure, literally. I think I’ll celebrate by doing some animating tomorrow. 😛
Some progress was made on the TF2 servers! I finally found time to copy over libcurl from my old server to do some testing, and I’m happy to say it works! I’ve started copying the remainder of the server files over. Hoping to finish up in a day or two. …

Did more server work this evening. I made a backup of the current gameserver files, and got Samba up and running under AlmaLinux to perform the file transfer. It was fun trying to remember how it all worked — I haven’t setup a Samba share in an eternity. One of …
I’ve started work on a new VM today! I’ve only setup a blank AlmaLinux install so far, but the building blocks are there for me to continue another day, hopefully tomorrow. I don’t have much else to write, as that was most of my evening. I’d like to get started …
Sometime in the not too distant future I will be upgrading my Linux servers, both my webserver and my game servers. I’m currently running all of my servers on CentOS 7, which is getting its support dropped at the end of the year along with CentOS 8. I could upgrade …
One of the many things keeping me from investing in a proper smartphone is the severe lack of control for the end user; you either have to sign up with Apple or Google if you want to use any apps, or you sideload all of your apps from an outside …
