§ I’m officially on ramp watch—assuming the ramps I planted last year survived the winter I should see them sprout as early as this month.
§ Aside from the garlic, which is still going strong, I found a mystery plant sprouting up in my vegetable patch. I think it might be ornamental allium?
§ I saw a rabbit lounging in the front garden and the chipmunks are out in full force. Can you tell I’m excited for spring?
§ At work I picked back up the LED project I started a few weeks ago. I hung them all up in a prototype lab at work. Now I need to figure out how I can programmatically address each of the individual LEDs so I don’t have to rely on the built-in animations.
We were also gifted a used resin 3D printer which is a little like being gifted a sticky smelly chore, not that I want to sound ungrateful. I got it working and made a little test print—so far, so good.
§ My winter side project of running a home media server has continued, mostly unabated by intermittent Linux frustrations.
It turns out moving everything to Proxmox was the right call. I’m now running ~15 docker containers across three virtual machines. Even after a few hard reboots (see my Linux frustrations above) they all reliably start on their own without any manual intervention on my part.
The big remaining puzzle piece is backups which I’m currently not doing at all.
§ On Saturday Caroline and I visited a gallery opening with my mom. It explores Cleveland’s various neighborhoods through the work of a handful of local photographers. It was good!
