House build update
—
by
Brief update on the house build – holes have been dug. The construction did apparently encounter some sort of soil concern, which required an additional review by the engineer and a bit deeper of a dig for the footing, but as of yesterday that has been cleared. As shown, the form of the basement is…
Automated Pi-Hole Updates
A couple of weeks ago, I posted about a new tool I had added to my network in order to actively block and eliminate adds. Pi-Hole in my case is running on an Ubuntu VM located on our FreeNAS media server, though it will likely eventually live on my 3d printer Raspberry Pi. However, as…
FreeNAS successful

by
As planned, my upgrade of the FreeNAS media server was completed, successfully upgrading our 10 TB of storage to a new total of 48 TB. The data migration only ran about 12 hours, much shorter than I had feared, and overall the upgrade was fairly painless. In the process, I also upgraded to the latest…

This was delayed from last week due to some apparent challenges with the utilities (who measured and placed the utility box in the middle of the future driveway). That hurdle was finally cleared, which allowed…

Functionally, Pi-Hole is a software tool that attempts to block all advertisements, similar to a web browser adblocker, except it can be used to block all traffic from all devices on the…
Pathfinder – Age of Ashes
I havent posted anything regarding our Age of Ashes campaign in a while, since we discontinued the video efforts for the storyline. This campaign continues on pace, with our bi-weekly games, and we continue to use Fantasy Grounds Classic for the sessions. Just recently, the group wrapped up Chapter 2 successfully, and we quickly moved…
Relocation update

by
Its been a while since my site has had any activity, primarily because I have been fairly heavily distracted by outside issues. In order to try to correct that, I am going to try again to establish a routine, and post updates on various factors. Likely, this will be less gaming related and more real-life…
