    I have decided to get back into tinkering with my Raspberry Pi. I will be blogging my journey as I stumble through my initial playing, through to building out my first proper homelab.

    The God Slayer by Otep

    I’ve loved Otep’s music since discovering the album “Sevas Tra” — with that insane album cover being the thing that brought me in.
