WordPress Successful Migration
After many attempts, and a lot of troubleshooting, I have finally successfully migrated my WordPress site to a new self-hosting option. And this time, without losing any data, which is a step up from previous efforts. Up until now, the site has been running on an old laptop, loaded with Ubuntu. It was stable, but…

Patreon
I have opted to shutdown the Patreon presence at this point, since it simply isnt doing anything but costing extra effort and time.

Mastodon updates
Not that it will affect many, but my Halfling13 node for Mastodon is offline again. I attempted the recent update, and as seems to be common, it borked the installation.

Limits of our recording capability
A few days ago, I posted a challenge, to find out what ideas there was to revise and upgrade our live-gaming audio capabilities. Although I didn’t receive any feedback or suggestions, I dove into the challenge myself. My theory, a series of cheap microphones, connected via 3.5mm audio cables, and split out into multiple mono…
