Weekly Wrap Up (2025.09.20)

Day to day life has not been exciting this week. No special events or activities. I did do a lot of progress on my bookmarks sorting project. I think I have mentioned it before but I am.slowly sorting all the thousands of bookmarks I ha e in Firefox into a sort of Digital Garden link library of Markdown files. I did have a dentist appointment. I don't know why people hate the dentist, I find it pretty relaxing honestly. Gaming Infinity Nikki I went back to Infinity Nikki. It's become a bit of an on and off again game, though…

Fix a MYSQL Update Issue

I don't have a lot to say here, but it's worth saying, because all of the solutions I found online, did not work, but I found the issue, or at least my issue, and it was what I suspected. I kept getting issues with updates on my Linux PC, specifically related to MYSQL/Maria 8.0. Probably other versions as well. All of the solutions I found online were basically just, "apt-remove, apt-purge, apt-clean, reinstall". Which id not work. The full error is something like this. dpkg: error processing package mysql-server-8.0 (--configure): installed mysql-server-8.0 package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status…

Or, adventures in vehicle maintenance part 2, or something. Also yes, it's been 2 weeks I mentioned previously, that I had push mowed the yard because the mower was acting up. I went ahead and changed the oil and oil filter this week. It's not super hard to do, but it did involve a ton of waiting. Primarily because it drains sooooo slowly. The funnel and container wedged in there nicely, and I moved it so it was "leaning downhill" but it still took like 45 minutes to drain. One side note, just for anyone seeing this, the juice bottle…

Weekly Wrap Up (2025.08.31)

I almost didn't do one this week, but why not, it's also the end of Blaugust, so let's throw something together. It's supposed to be "What I learned" week, but sorry fellow Blaugistans, I've been doing blogging for ages, I am not sure there is anything I really can learn. Blaugust went about as expected. Early inspiration and drive, fizzling out to nothing as motivation and general… everything… just became too much and the "why bother" set in. I didn't take photos for reviews already written, I didn't do reviews for photos already taken. I didn't do more album write…

Weekly Wrap Up (2025.08.22)

Another week down for Blaugust, though I am not at all actively trying to reach any goal for that. I am not even properly promoting my posts in the Blaugust Discord. But now I'm pushing more filler t the bottom of these posts, with links lists that used to be separate posts. So I got that going for me. Games If I were still theming these around games in the title, it would be "What I'm Not Playing Edition." Though I think I used that one before. I uninstalled Overwatch, again, again, again, again, again, again… Ok, this isn't supposed…

Project – Raspberry Pi – Webcam Project and Updating Pihole

On my little list of projects, I mentioned a webcam set up. My wife asked me about something for monitoring the cats while we are out. The ideal place would be in the front room area. I have plenty of Pis floating around and an extra Logitech cam, but I also already have one Pi in that area running my PiHole. There isn't any reason I couldn't attach the cam, to that Pi. It ended up being a bit more work than expected, but not really for any negative reasons. I found an easy guide for setting up Motion on…

Game Hacking – Installing Homebrew on my 3DS

Man, talk about some monkey paw ass shit. I have finally after wanting to do it for, a good while now, installed Homebrew on my 3DS. The process is relatively simple, or more it SHOULD be relatively simple. I followed this guide here. I'm linking that page instead of the actual guide I used because the methods vary based on operating system, 3DS Model, Software version, etc. So for more clarity, I followed THIS guide, for my New 3DS with up to date software. The process should have been easy but I ran into a few issues. Specifically, after installing…
