Decided to spend the day working on my website: editing and posting the 50+ new pots from my most recent kiln opening. It was a big job, i’ve been procrastinating–feels good to scratch that off my to-do list.

Here’s one of my favorite teacups from the grouping!

Hope you all are hanging in there: staying warm and finding joy wherever you are.

The drive to be constantly innovating to sell more new shit, when the shit we have works fine, is ruining technology.

I don’t want a new phone every year. I don’t want a new computer every six months. I don’t want a software upgrade that changes everything. I don’t want a fancy new language we have to rewrite everything in for reasons.

I want bug fixes. I want security patches. I want removal of fundamentally broken things. I want big thick manuals with full coverage of every option and setting and function call. I want people to be able to learn programming the way you learn woodworking – as a mature discipline not subject to regular world shaking innovation.

100% agree with this. No to the shiny shiny all the time.

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.

This first Raspberry Pi (model 2b) will be initially used as both a wireguard VPN server and a local DNS server.
