Meadowhawk Blog

I have been gaming all my life, it's the one thing I started doing even before I discovered computers!

OK maybe it's probably just me but, I often want to "Like" other peoples blog posts after I read them and find something I enjoyed.

I've had this holiday in my calendar for decades and rarely ever mention it but, today is the day!

I strongly resist participating in the panopticon economy but, I have wanted to set up some security cameras around my house for ages.

My morning routine has evolved in a lovely way.

I recently finished reading "This is for Everyone" by Sir Tim Berners-Lee (The inventor of the internet btw) and it left me with a lot to contemplate as to what the Web is to us.

This year I have focused a good bit of my reading on the study of Artificial Intelligence, specifically AGI (G stands for general).

I recently bought my dream laptop, it's a slick Framework 16 Laptop with an add-on GPU, near infinite RAM, superfast m.2 drive and running Ubuntu.

This month I decide to try something new and join in for the IndieWeb Movie Club, for Octobers movie is the 1995 classic, Hackers.

Looking back at my blog post for this year I have realized that I often I forget to post things to my blog!

Once a year my brother and I meet up to climb mountains and enjoy local food & wine.

I've had a busy month and I'm not done yet!

I am so behind on blog posts but, thanks to a round of Covid, I'm not up for much so.. writing blog drafts!

...And now for a new blog straight from HOPE 16 in Queens, NY!

I find myself offline (sorta I of course have computers) after my aged phone fell out of my lap at the Dentist!

I became a reader in my pre-teens when I discovered D&D and The Hobbit.

I came across an interesting blog post from Default.blog titled Yes, There Can Be a Completely Digital Counterculture!

I'm not very good at organizing, especially in meat space.

A couple of months back I started randomly experiencing thread locks when I started up Intellij which was resulting my IDE being totally unresponsive after loading.

RaspberryPi is back for another maker win, this time creating my dream audio system.

Using Textual for displaying my RaspberryPi Weather data.

One doesn't simply escape Meta's walled gardens.

I was a long time user of SketchUp until I permanently ejected Windoze from my life, and Sketchup was hardest things to leave behind.

I finally dove into Cyberpunk 2077 and I'm really glad I waited!

Well after a little struggle sorting out Volume paths on Railway I've added the easy button for deploying UrPodder so hopefully most could use it.

I love listening to podcasts.

I spent the better part of Sunday trying to get ssl working with a SpringBoot Java app.

I have been happily printing Gridfinity parts to organize my mess of a workshop and they are simply awesome!

Hey friends!

I've moved to Codeberg.org for my my online Git repos and left the Hub behind but, I was feeling a little nostalgic about the GH Profile pages.

I’ve been on Github for a long time!

I was tethered to this telco monster for so long , it’s personally shocking and outright embarrassing.

I was just watching the show that got me interested in security, Security Now and listening to Steve Gibson’s 2nd evaluation of the Lastpass breach is something along the lines of watching every horror movie condensed into a single terrifying movie!

For 2023 I have a few goals around my digital life which include ending my relationship with big tech.

If you can't fix the user, try fixing the computer!

A year has passed since my last post, and wow has life changed!

I've been quarantined for over 6 months and I kinda snapped one day and booked a months stay in the mountains far from everything including broadband.
