Score! I was helping out a friend of mine vacate his office since his | |
business has gone totally remote and he gifted me with some old | |
computers and hardware (thx Matt!) I keep acquiring other people's | |
discarded computers to repurpose...prolly because that's just what I | |
do and have the means. Some of them still fairly recent. These will | |
be upgrades for my existing servers at home and then some. | |
Lately, I've been busy with getting more of my computer stuff | |
organized and shifting things around. I can't believe how much stuff | |
I have acquired over the years. I have a mess of cables I have been | |
sorting through and organizing into separate bins, complete with lids | |
and labels. Same with the accessories and various peripherals. For | |
some reason, I seem to keep most things, even the old or broken stuff | |
because I seem to keep finding ways to repurpose stuff. | |
There has been much going on in the world that I have not been paying | |
attention to. I haven't really felt like looking into it and even if | |
I did, I feel that it might cause some unnecessary worry and reduce | |
my effectiveness to my family and those around me. I pretty much | |
just find out enough, do with it what I can, and discard the rest. | |
I have not been doing much public writing either. There is a lot of | |
noise out there and I figured that now is not the time for me to add | |
to it. So I have been doing what I can to lay low, keep safe, and be | |
available to help others. Now is not the time to be part of the | |
problem. | |
I do try to keep current with reading up on the gopher holes I | |
usually visit, though I don't comment much or provide feedback. I do | |
read quite a bit. There seems to be less regular content than before | |
and I have not been contributing much. Sometimes I visit geminispace | |
to see what is out there, but my visits are not as frequent or | |
consistent and I lose the continuity. Same with mastodon and | |
pixelfed. Right now, I guess I don't really know where to put myself | |
and just end up doing other things that are not online or social. | |
Mostly stuff like domestic chores or going on long walks in the woods | |
or playing my guitar or whatever during my spare time. I do pop in | |
every now and then in COM or IRC during certain radio shows, but even | |
that has been inconsistent. I guess I feel more comfort doing stuff | |
offline lately. So if any of you's been wondering, I'm still here, | |
just quiet for now. | |
