  So I am taking the car in for a brake job today. I have the parts just need to get the install done. Gonna take maybe and hour or two. While that happens I'm gonna try and finish moving some websites from an old Ubuntu server onto a new Gentoo server and confirm they at least have everything working before deleting the old server. Depending on my vps bill this month I may decide to increase the new server appropriately. The LLMs are making it a little easier to get problems solved and...

  #Automotive Got the Brakes handled finally. It was a pain. First find out I didn't need as much as I bought, was honestly feeling pretty good that I could return some parts and make it out a little bit on the better side. Then found out I needed new rear Calipers as the old ones had seized and was what had made the new rotors necessary. So bit of a wash today.

  Went to a Church service for the first time in two and a half decades that wasn't a funeral. Need to take the time to reread things and reconnect.

  Sitting here pondering. Was in a discord with some fanfiction writers and enthusiasts talking about the only way of the internet. How the big centralized social media sites and archives cost us a lot of Fandom culture. They aren't wrong.

  Got the latest moved. The old server is gone. We are 100% running on Gentoo now. Using AI to help me theme my Drupal pages since I am not a good themer. Just need to keep working it over.

  Been starting projects on ChatGPT to help plan things out. It's helpful and gets some stuff organized. Also started writing a Journal in markdown that gets synced to the Nextcloud server. Its starting to help organize.

  I started playing with ChatGPT to work on some ideas for a few things. It's recommended I create an Anthropomorphic Armadillo man as a character to cast in the various roles my projects take on... ... I like the idea.

  Started rebuilding my HP laptop's operating system again. Solved a few problems and have a new AC adapter and Battery on the way. Documenting what I am doing and posting later when it's done on Hybridized-Concepts when it's ready.

  So I have been using ChatGPT a lot lately. And frankly I wonder if someone decided to design this program to be extremely supportive in General. I asked it about notes and working with Nextcloud. I'm now writing a journal in markdown and keeping structured notes on projects. I talked to it about creating a multi iso toolkit using Ventoy. I'm now building that along with a portable knowledge base for every bit of Tech I have. I asked it for a short lesson on programming. I&...

  ChatGPR has me creating an entire Character Profile for a Mascot for my projects... I am gonna need someone at some point to draw actually legitimate shit I think. I also need 19th Century Adult Male Given Names for men from Texas.

  Been thinking of finding an old 79 Chevy Camero once the Kia and Van are all working and have their major maintenance and repairs done. Never tried to learn auto mechanics. Figure and old car not needing a full IT degree might be interesting to work on.

  Fighting Pleroma to get my avatar and background working again.

  So replaced the old HPs battery and AC Adapter. Need to spend the time rebuilding the operating system. Once I do that and document some things rebuild my personal files and Nextcloud files. Developing some standard operating procedures here with the assistance of one of the AIs. While pondering what kind of Shed to buy for Vanlife projects. #Thinking

  #Fitness #Wellness #Sitrep So I moved from the treadmill to the Elliptical Machine now. Doing the same time at the same speed but more movement. Bought some jaw exercisers to try and lift my sagging face and chin. Started with the lowest level... never knew how little strength my jaw had.

  Working on this today.

  #Sunday Got the mockups and resizing done for the Blade Runner Discs. Will probably go to the UV print shop on Hulen to have the work done next Saturday. I'll post the results then. Gonna see if a friend can recieve parts for the Kia repairs like the bumper and grill. Also gonna pile up some parts for the van to take to the shop and get worked on. Saving not just money for the work but hours of PTO. :)

  Apparently product tie ins for 50th Anniversary celebrations can include wine. You have your beach sand white, your ocean blue spritzer, and your blood red... ... Nice.

  So I went and switched from Treadmill to Elliptical Machine. Its getting more of my body moving while being lower impact. The recent pangs in my right leg where the bar connects made that necessary. Feels like I am making progress again on reshaping my old body. The jaw exerciser actually made my muscles in the face feel something. Gonna try and add more content to my forums as I can.

  #Mastodon #Mastoadmin I had to restore the old setup. For some reason I couldn't determine the setup wouldn't operate properly on the new server for longer than a few moments. Sucks.

  #Webdesign So for a moment, while thinking of how I might create a theme for Hybridized-concepts... I wondered if there was a way to simulate the loading times... if only just for nostalgia.

  Being 47 and alone except for my parents is a bit depressing. Not knowing where I could go to fix this situation is worse.

  #CSS #Images #1980sComputing Am I crazy or was there a way to show images in some way on a terminal console in 80s computers?

  #Fitness #Health #Sitrep We had a front move through last night. So of course my knee and the spots where the screws are hurt today. As well as my left foot. Makes everything suck really.

  Decided to try and start working on my Drupal Recipes some today. Story archiving for the Storytellerarchive.com page. And Maybe some Drupal Forum reworking since they took that out of the core. Want to write some original stuff but I am consolidating my websites and pages. Stuff stuff stuff. #Drupal #Projects #Writing

  #SaturdayProjects Weather is a bit windy here and Dad decided to grill a weeks worth of Chicken so the smoke is blowing right where I would want to work on my lantern. So it's Starbucks for some website work.

  #Fitness Used the Elliptical Machine instead or the Treadmill today. Burned about as many calories but also worked a bit more of the body since I didn't feel like I was gonna slide off the Machine. Slowly making progress.

  #AIArt #BAckground #GrokAI So I was using Grok to prototype some printing ideas for three Minidiscs for Blade Runner. Part of it was generating this background that looks like the ribbed area of the discs. I figured I would post it so if someone had a use for it they could see what they could do with it.

  I heard a question that was supposed to show that the guy who asked it was an Idiot. ... I spent too much time answering it.

  #ChaplinCards My work contracts with a Chaplin service that comes through every week or two. One hands out cards with little sayings. So I will share those. I have several saved.
