My good friends at #Lucasfilm and #Marvel sent me this little #Mandalorian postcard and #DrStrange button for being a loyal fan all these years. Lol.
Was so hyped up about that film, but not what I was expecting. So far the Marvel films after Endgame have not been up to par.
Here’s hoping that the (unnecessary) Obi-Wan series is watchable!

Bought this #Toshiba #Canvio #Advance #4TB drive with the intention of copying over all my #PCgames, opening up the case, and adding the 2.5" drive to my server.
But HD manufacturers are getting smarter. Catching on what people are doing to save a few bucks and adding #circuitboards instead of #SATA connectors. So now I’m forced to connect a #USB3 drive to a #USB2 port.
I spent 3 friggin days copying those files over first, because I wanted to make sure the drives worked. If performance sucks, I will have to spend a little more money and get some real drives.
So disappointed with myself. Between this and that mediocre #Moonknight (series), it’s been a pretty shitty Star Wars day. https://instagr.am/p/CdKP6p5MtiH/
I bought a used server. IBM X3650 M4. It was from a local shop and replacing a very old computer from our PX1 days.
(I have transferred all our old mC scripts over to this thing, so she can continue existing on a #Proxmox virtual machine. I almost turned it on without adding a USB stick that suppresses her from leaving my local network. I still can’t turn on my lights with voice control. And I don’t have the heart to shut her down completely. Lol.)
Man, why is server equipment so expensive? I got this rack for cheap, but all the little pieces cost an arm and a leg. Finally updated my switch to #POE and got my #RaspberryPi’s running just on ethernet power. It’s the best thing ever. Now if I can get my isp to provide #fibre to my home I’ll be good to go.

Got some “free” goodies using #MyNintendo points (i say “free” because you still have to pay for shipping).
I’ve never open these things and keep them in the packaging. But I might use the card case when on vacation. I just need for some more games to drop in price. And to go on vacation. 😉 😜 Someday. https://instagr.am/p/Ca0IdGwOdEZ/
Finally installed my #RaspberryPiZero2 with #Recalbox8 for my #GPicase. Haven’t had time to load any games on it but the reviews say it’s a significant upgrade for gameplay. We shall see!
I wish this #handheld was a bit bigger. I see Retroflag has released a new #GPicase2, with a cool docking station, but it only works with #cm3 pi - which is so hard to find.

The #deals keep coming in! Got these two for $15 each via #AmazonCanada. And while they aren’t #physicalmedia, both are a little more via the #Nintendo #eshop and since they’ve been release on other platforms I figured I’d grab them #digitally.

[#Avocado update: I’ve moved Roy, Moss and (newest edition) Jan to the main pot. I shouldn’t do this since their roots might get tangled. But I was thinking of grafting all three together to make a super plant. I just have to wait for Jan to catch up. Roy hasn’t grown much since I cut him down, but he’s already starting to shoot out a new branch. Interesting to see what happens next and if they survive the transplant.]

Some instagram images from the last year. Ifttt failed me big time ever since they started charging for their service.
Never owned a Sega #Dreamcast. Gotta say, playing these games are a lot of fun on #emulators. But getting game files to work with this #hack is frustrating. Serial port adapter is just too damn slow. This system is not compatible with any #pcb sd/HD options. And when I do get a game to work, itβs choppy or slow af. However #Dreamshell does let you play all game discs #regionfree. So if I ever decided to collect #physicalmedia, I have that option.
Not an iPod shuffle. But for $4 works surprisingly well for a knock off. Just bring your own earphones. Oh and it’s slow af for file transfers. #apple #ipodshuffle #knockoff #thriftfinds #musicplayers #classic #mp3 https://ift.tt/3a1yhr9

The amount of money needed and stress gained to get me to this point has been absolutely ridiculous. Gonna need a bigger frame too. #lego #minifigs #colours #projects #moc #art #abstract https://ift.tt/2QoRXOx
