@DogMotif I'm convinced half the power budget in computers are going towards powering the RGB lights. Like don't get me wrong I love a tasteful splattering of RGB here and there but when you can light up your room with just your computer there might be a problem xD

A fun little idea I've had for a while: Rix as a Jedi.

I'm really happy with how it turned out. Doing a background was new from me but I felt I needed something.

So I guess now would be a good time to let people know I'll be at TFF this coming weekend. Feel free to come meet me!

I find it kinda annoying when people feel the need to put their two cents in on things as nebulous as semantics. A subreddit aimed towards the typical end user will refer to their gateway as a modem/router because that is how it is sold and marketed to them. Calling it a gateway, while it's true name, does nothing to help solve the problem. If I see the OP say modem in their post I will use that to avoid sounding condescending or adding unnecessary confusion.

Holidays are over but I can't believe I forgot to post this here.

String lights are one of my favorite things during the holidays

I finally finished the server move. Took significantly longer than I was hoping for but that's alright. The good news is it's done now.

Blessing that timeline with rainbow socks ❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜

So I'm planning to do a big server migration and consolidation project over this weekend. During this time I will be revamping my efforts. Some of the changes will be server consolidation. Over the last year I've added 6 dedicated servers. I'm hoping to consolidate things down to just 4 or 3 physical servers. Another improvement you will see is increased bandwidth.

I'll make another announcement when the move is complete. This move will improve load times as well.

@frinkel Mine like to randomly not respond to the big public resolvers. I can ping them at 14 ms from my two nameservers but I still run into issues where they say my domain couldn't be looked up until I spam them about 50 times and then magically my domain resolves again. Very annoying :(

@izaliamae I had one of my cats pee on a ram stick I had left out on a shelf. It corroded so badly that there wasn't anything I could do to fix it :(

Yes, I know I have spaghetti cabling forming, I'll fix it one day.

I got a Barracuda 330 acting as a hardware firewall. So far I've got my snort subscriber rules loaded and now I'm tuning Squid to actually cache stuff. Currently the hit-miss ratio is making me cry. I gave it 110 GB plz cache all the things!
