Posted on July 28, 2025 by baudattitude

OK, so.  History time! I’m typing this while in front of a high-resolution monitor.  It displays a picture that is 5120 pixels wide and 2880 pixels high, and it can update the screen up to 60 times per second.  I … Continue reading →

In which, I am annoyed by copy protection

Posted on July 20, 2025 by baudattitude

I’ve mentioned a few times recently that my wife has been coming up with reasons for me to create scripts.  Mostly, these are because she wants to have local copies of fan-translated Chinese novels. Personally, I don’t have a lot … Continue reading →

Homelab updates: Bazzite is pretty cool!

Posted on July 6, 2025 by baudattitude

A few days ago, I mentioned that one of the services I was adding to my home lab was game streaming, with me repurposing a 5700U-based micro PC as a Bazzite box. Side note: Serious props to the Bazzite team … Continue reading →

I am the alpha nerd

Posted on July 5, 2025 by baudattitude

I do not make this claim lightly. OK, I make it pretty lightly.  “Alpha Nerd” is a pretty high bar to hit, after all, and should really be reserved for people who hand roll binary patches for their custom linux … Continue reading →

Prepping for the next homelab project

Posted on June 23, 2025 by baudattitude

So, my homelab experiment is running generally quite well.  I keep running into an annoying Proxmox bug that makes the ethernet controller hang up, and hopefully they will fix that soon, but I have a lot of self-hosted services now. … Continue reading →

More home server stuff. Reading is FUNdamental!

Posted on May 29, 2025 by baudattitude

It’s been a good week for projects.  Maybe a good couple of weeks, actually – I kinda forgot when I started working on this particular one. I mentioned last month that I’d set up a home server for the purpose … Continue reading →

At this rate, I should be ready for Switch 2 around 2029.

Posted on May 20, 2025 by baudattitude

So, playing through Assassin’s Creed: Mirage has not yet inspired me to dive full-heartedly into the terrifying morass of games I have built up over the years, but it did at least get me to look at my shelf of … Continue reading →

Well, I had a pretty good run. All hail our machine overlords.

Posted on May 19, 2025 by baudattitude

It’s been a few years since I’ve seen one in the wild, but I’ve known a few IT guys who liked to rock a shirt with some variant of “Be nice to me or I will replace you with a … Continue reading →

A quick script to add a font to an MKV file

Posted on May 12, 2025 by baudattitude

Why do I do this to myself? OK, so.  Some background. I’ve been working on a Jellyfin server as something of a side project, with the idea that it will probably teach me something useful that I can apply at … Continue reading →

Dunstabbin’ (again)

Posted on May 11, 2025 by baudattitude

Finished Assassin’s Creed: Mirage tonight, which is embarrassingly-enough the first “real game” I have completed all year.  I’ve spent entirely too many hours in soulless gacha waifu cash grabs, and I shall do penance appropriately. I mean, after I do … Continue reading →
