Played in a virtual TTRPG (every Tuesday). We play Runequest, using the (relatively) new Roleplaying in Glorantha rules. Awesome and epic.
Runequest has been around since 1978 and has always been a distinct alternative to D&D. It features more dangerous and granular combat, a skills-based rather than class-based approach to character building, and (in Glorantha) a deeper, more mythological, and societal-based setting than D&D.
It’s pretty low traffic (ie it’s only me who’s ever posted anything) but come and join me at the Runequest community!
Not this week as I’m taking a bit of a break rn but last week I did a few retired Windows boxes on HtB for the first time and got a little stuck, realized idk jack from shit in Windows, learned KVM /libvirtd /QEMU / virsh (still unsure which is which), set up ssh X forwarding to my headless server and spun up a few VMs for my homelab, after endlessly fighting with virsh over broken permissions since I didn’t want vols in my root and only in my home dir or JBOD and relentlessly googling how to make bridged networking and why tf it’s so much more difficult than just clicking a button in vbox I used something I learned of called macvtaps to get a Winserver Active Directory DC and several domain member servers up and running with some misconfigurations for me to practice on, plus I’ve been learning some group policy stuff and in general how things work in the windows world. Along the way I somehow broke networking on my pi real bad so fixed that this week, and also spun up navidrome.
Two Raspberry Pi Zero W arrived in the mail today. One will be a VPN gateway for when I’m out and about and I wanna log into my home network.
The other one might be a print and scan server.I’ve set up the basics on one of them and connected to an unused USB port in my TV for power so that I can ssh into it and tinker with it during idle hours.
I have a bunch of SD cards leftover from work, and I intend to set up various images for various uses, so I can move the boards around as I please and just swap the card to whatever I want to do.
The boards are dirt cheap, so I kind of wish I had bought more than two.

Pretty much just weight training. I want to get more into geocaching, but yknow… Hurricane Helene. 😰
Just turning on the nearest rock station and venting my anxiety onto the dumbbells has been nice, though.
I just adjusted the rudder servo on my RC airplane. It’s a 3D plane with lots and lots of throw, and I adjusted the mechanical link to allow more physical movement of the servo itself. Basically like choking up on a baseball bat. It’ll give me slightly more resolution in the rudder movement. It took me like an hour including fiddling around with the radio and watching a YouTube video to figure out why something wasn’t working.
