Is Post Con Frustration a thing? Because I can't help feeling like I should have gotten more out of my con experience (talking about NFC which was a very good con overall!).

On my way back home from NFC via train. This con felt kinda weird as for some reason I didn't get into a real "con spirit" for the first two or so days. But from Thursday on I had a blast!

Aaand we arrived at the Comfort Hotel :3 ... now sleep 🛏️

For various reasons, the last two years I had gained a lot of weight, which made me feel really, really bad about myself. But somehow, last November I managed to finally kick myself in the butt and returned to what I was used to do a long time ago. I stopped snacking, started to eat healthy and started to exercise again (in my case I go jogging every other day now).

Since then, I managed to loose 11 kilograms and I'm slowly able to fit back into clothing that I had outgrown.

15 more kilograms to go.

After getting a Raspberry Pi 5 a few weeks back, I finally got around to actually replace my ancient home server (Odroid based) with it.

I had prepared the base OS on the Raspberry beforehand over the last few days, and today just moved over all docker-containers with their volumes.

Going the Docker-way to encapsulate the services, their dependencies and their data paid of. It took just an hour or so, including optimization of the Docker configuration.

So, I'm rather happy with it at the moment

Sooo ... it seems the cooler included the wrong kind of thermal pads, so I had to order some new ones. And that package seems to have disappeared during shipping.

... yay 🙃

Finally! My new home server hardware has arrived :) This will replace a super old Odroid based thingy for which I had to replace the SD-Card twice already. I'm mostly looking forward to the 8 GBytes of RAM and the SSD :ms_happy:

These past few days I figured out that I still like Trackmania. Over the years I kinda forgot that that game series even exists, but since the current installment is free to play and available on consoles, I more or less stumbled over it one evening and rediscovered part of my early twenties (I'm not old, but things like this kinda make feel old xD).

But back then I have either been much better or everyone else much worse. Because nowadays I can barely even finish the tracks!

Sweeping Declaration: I will only work 40 hrs a week on my day job in 2025.

When I go out for a walk, I often take "the usual route" through my neighborhood. Normally I do so once a week, or every other week. But for reasons, I didn't have much time this summer and fall, so I didn't do so since May or so.

A few days ago I finally took the time to go for a nice walk again, and of course I took "the usual route". And out of the corner of my eye I noticed that something was different. I didn't pay much attention at first, but it irked me enough to make me backtrack and take a closer look.

Clearly visible through a window, nicely set up on a stand and decorated, there was (and still is) a fursuit head propped up! And with matching artwork along the walls behind.

So it seems there's another furry living less then 500 meters from my place. Interesting

And here we go, last day of work done! For the rest of the year, my day job can kiss my fluffy tail!*falls over exhausted*

I woke up at such an inconvenient time during my sleep rhythm today that I was not only just asking myself who and where I was, but also where that amusement park went that I was visiting.

Five more minutes of sleep fixed that, but that was weird!

Third week of working almost 60 hours in a row (this one actually did hit 60). I'm just tired and counting the days until I'm off for the holidays.

Just three more weeks.

After two weeks of having a Netflix subscription again, I'm already fed up and plan to cancel in December (want to have it active over Christmas, just to be safe). And I don't even mean that live stream fuck up that seems to have happened yesterday, according to Reddit.

The whole experience just sucks. Just to list some points from the top of my head: Super low resolution on my browsers (I'm using Linux), completely convoluted listing of content, movie series missing random entries, everything insisting on auto-playing by default. And just today I learned that not everything is available with the original English dub.

There has literally been not a single instance where I could just "sit down and watch" something. Every single time I was exasperated by something.

Not to mention that Netflix barely has anything on it that interest me, anyway.

I have been soooo unproductive these past two weeks *falls half asleep* I really need some proper vacation time at some point.
