  • I finally overhauled my home server. I built a 12TB storage and media server using a few parts from the old server but am running it on Linux using docker rather than my old gaming PC’s windows 7 install. Should be much better for security and easier to upgrade or move.

    Paid for PlexPass finally since hardware transcoding is locked behind the paywall.

    Dropped Netflix after over a decade of using it regularly because the prices went up and I had been using it less.

    Have used ChatGPT for help planning trips and developing goals and plans at home. I was restricted from using it or anything like it at work so I haven’t been able to properly use it to my advantage much.

    Finally upgraded my router to WiFi 6 and my Internet bandwidth to gigabit from 250 mbps. It’s refreshing! Probably the best decision I made in 2023.

    Dropped reddit (to include blocking the domain on my pihole). I still waste time but less of it is on social media.


  • Inspection intervals are based on expectation of damage over time, not to verify if the installation procedure was properly followed.

    Design requirements for airplane parts that experience rotation or are part of control systems are regulated to have locking features to prevent loose bolts from happening. If the initial installation was done improperly it could be a failure in quality control at Boeing. Or if they were installed properly but weren’t designed with sufficient locking mechanisms it may be an improper design. Either way this could turn into an Airworthiness Directive which is when the FAA steps in to ensure safety.
