Hello world!
I’m doing better this week, thanks to some help from my friends, and taking time off work for a few days. Here’s some things that happened over the course of the week.
- My housemate’s SSD died early in the week so we got a new one for her and she wanted to switch to Linux Mint instead of Windows! Had a few initial pains with it at first but it seems to be stable for her now!
- I set up Hoarder on my home server to see how it compares to Linkwarden. So far, Linkwarden appears to be more oriented towards archival and backups of internet resources, whereas Hoarder is more link, note, and image aggregation. Kinda like a selfhosted Pinterest. Hoarder also displays images in a better way than Linkwarden, so I think I’m going to keep both around and have them for their different uses. My main goal for using Hoarder at the current moment is to put together some lists for outfit ideas that interest me.
- While I was setting up Hoarder, I figured I would use it as an excuse to fool around with Ollama as it has support for tag inference from saved items. It actually works surprisingly well for the task, although of course comes with the fuzziness that is inherent with generative machine learning.
- My housemates and I started a play through of Borderlands out of the blue a few days ago. I’ve always really enjoyed the series, but never had anyone consistent to play it with so never actually completed any of the games except for Borderlands 3 a year or so ago. Hoping to get through all the games with them, and possibly even a bunch of the end game content and DLCs. We’ll see.
- I also did VR exercise a few times this week, getting into the grove of it from inactivity. Really having a blast with it so I hope I’m able to keep it up properly and start losing some weight.
This week’s release is Vanilla - Time Goes By Pt. I.
