I keep thinking I want a single blog where everything goes, rather than three which have things spread across them. This is yet another reoccurring theme.

I opened up my Radio blog as it’s been ages since I wrote anything, and Wordpress was complaining about updates. Which were single click fixes, but it just reminded me about how I don’t like Wordpress. I just looked at it and didn’t want to write anything.

I do wonder about paying somewhere to host it and look after everything. Like Pika.page, bearblog, blot, or …somewhere. Looking at Phil’s blog I’m drawn towards blot. I told myself it wouldn’t do as I couldn’t access it whilst on the work network, but is that really a big deal? I like it as all the files still sit on my computer and not entirely trapped online (most places have an export but you know). I don’t know.

I still like this blog, 🫖, and probably I’d keep this as is. But I like that the ramblings are tucked away out of passerbys, although if you look carefully enough you can see them.

Way back when I made a new server that was low powered due to the rapidly rising electricity costs due to the ukraine war. Well now things have settled down and I find it annoying having a storage server and a processing server. So think I’m going to go back to a single one. I just won a i5-9500T off ebay, so I guess that’s the start of the build! I was going to build a new one but it was going to be £600+ for it all and I probably don’t need that. Finding a used case is hard, so I did buy a new one which is what I wanted, and I suspect it’ll last me 10 years minimum. The next hardest thing is getting a motherboard…it’s hard enough buying one new, let alone seeing what’s available used. Will see how that goes.

Accepted the solar contractor, although still deciding what to have. I thought I’d chosen then I spoke to him and he suggested other things…

I’m surrounded by computers. There are…nine next to me right now. Plus a microbit, a Lora ESP node, and a rpi in a box under the desk. Plus my phone. How so many…

Reading blot.im docs…is it what I want? it’s not too different from a static blog on github…I suppose adding images to a folder for autoposts is nice but not sure how often I want that. I suppose I’ll go to bed, too late I might add, having done nothing.

I ended up watching Riverdance. 1994…wow, I remember the craze of it. 🍀

There’s also Montaigne…🤔
