    Holidays are wrapping up, and it is back to work next week.  Scheduling wise, I am preparing to start the GURPs Warhammer campaign next week, character guidelines and details are finished, and just need confirmation from a couple of the players.  Pathfinder is back in session the week after, as the group continues their assault…

    It’s my birthday today, and enjoying some time with family. Continuing our new tradition of seeing Star Wars in the theatre, and then likely dinner and pie or something similar.

    It’s a week of solutions as I also seem to have found a fix for the 4K Roku and TV issues. We had upgraded the main TV to a 4K HDR model, using a Roku Streaming Stick +, capable of 4K HDR. However, after numerous attempts, 4K content continued to give a HDCP error, indicating…

    Similar to my Nextcloud difficulties, I have also been having difficulties with our custom private Ark servers since the release of Aberration. The original servers with The Island and Scorched Earth are still working fine, but I wanted to add an Aberration server as well.

    Seems that each time I post tech problems I manage to fix them shortly after, which has held true for the Nextcloud server. Shortly after I posted yesterday, I had a breakthrough and the service is now running again, and successfully with ssl encryption, from the same server as my wordpress site. A quick update…

    Continuing to be challenged by Nextcloud.  Over the weekend, I ended up running an ill-advised system update, which I believed updated PHP on the Nextcloud server, which in turn broke Nextcloud.  Not that critical, but painful to rebuild, so my secondary option is to move it to my WordPress server, since they share similar function.…

    Going to be enjoying the holidays over the next couple of weeks with the family, so likely my posting updates will be a bit more random. Have been reviewing the past several weeks worth of content, and although I have been getting lots of comments, none of them thus far have been of any value. …

    Thanks to some lucky bitcoin investments, I decided it was time to finally upgrade to a 4k TV within the last few weeks.  And since I try to do all my shopping online, I opted to take the risk, and try a online order for a wide screen TV – understanding the risks associated with…
