Hey friends, before it goes to e-waste, is there anything particularly interesting or useful or preservation worthy about a hearing aid loop device that'd warrant diverting it somewhere specific, rather than just to the standard refurb/reseller types?

Today is a day but unfortunately it contains a new network switch, so for the next couple of days I'm going to have to understand VLANs again.

In order to implement a robust and flawless age-verification process, I'm going to require every Chinwag user to run down to the bottle shop and get me some gin or I'll delete your account.

Sorry, I really don't want to do this but the government is forcing me. I have no choice.

Update: hoo boy, Chinwag's new age verification policy page is going to be great. I'll announce from the official business account when it's live. I'm having way too much fun here.

I got mail!

I reached the point of getting a third server online last night and now have Babby's First Proxmox Cluster. Anyone want to tell me what mistakes I'm about to make as I start poking at Ceph for the first time?
