• Continuing the Star Wars Legion theme, I have the first of several future Stormtroopers, assembled and painted by my son and newest adept. He has done some painting here and there over the last couple of years, but only recently has really had a lot of desire. With our current home transition, I opted to […]

  • Second of my recent painting spurt, this time Rebel Taun Tauns. Again, the painting color options were rather limited to just a starter set, so the details got a bit muddy. I was also going for less of a wintry design, with a basic concept that Taun Tauns might be transplanted to a non-Hoth world. […]

  • Been doing some painting with my son, assembling and applying some paint to various Star Wars Legion figures. This is made easy given our temporary freedom between homes, though my gear options are limited. At the start, we picked up a basic painting starter set for George, so that he could dive in and start […]

  • Brief update on the house build – holes have been dug. The construction did apparently encounter some sort of soil concern, which required an additional review by the engineer and a bit deeper of a dig for the footing, but as of yesterday that has been cleared. As shown, the form of the basement is […]

  • A couple of weeks ago, I posted about a new tool I had added to my network in order to actively block and eliminate adds. Pi-Hole in my case is running on an Ubuntu VM located on our FreeNAS media server, though it will likely eventually live on my 3d printer Raspberry Pi. However, as […]

  • As planned, my upgrade of the FreeNAS media server was completed, successfully upgrading our 10 TB of storage to a new total of 48 TB. The data migration only ran about 12 hours, much shorter than I had feared, and overall the upgrade was fairly painless. In the process, I also upgraded to the latest […]

  • For the past 4+ years, I have maintained a home server, running various versions of FreeNAS. This itself was a replacement for a cobbled together and informal version, until I opted to build a dedicated system, roughly 2015. Combined total, I managed to squeeze out about 15 TB of storage, using a variety of shucked […]

  • After many weeks, months (and years) waiting, the actual build of the new home has begun with the ground breaking. This was delayed from last week due to some apparent challenges with the utilities (who measured and placed the utility box in the middle of the future driveway). That hurdle was finally cleared, which allowed […]
