Just ordered the last piece I need to get my server up and running. I’m so excited. My #homelab will see a massive upgrade here in the next few weeks.

There are many challenges ahead, such as passing through a RAID card and 24 drives to a TrueNAS VM and migrating all of my data to it from a Synology NAS, but I’m ready.

On the topic of the Steam Deck, I don't recommend the thermal mod. I triggered my Deck into storage mode somehow, because after I reassembled everything and booted, the machine worked fine for about 10 minutes, then crashed. It rebooted, then crashed again to a black screen of death. Fans on, haptics on the touchpads, but no display output.

I reseated the cooler and followed random button presses I found online until it finally booted and ran well for hours on end. Not worth the stress.

Welp, CryoByte33 convinced me to attempt to undervolt and overclock my Steam Deck. Here’s hoping I won the silicon lottery.

“The wise man: in command of himself, unafraid of poverty, chains, or death; bravely defying his passions, despising honours, complete in himself; smoothed and rounded, so that nothing external can cling to his polished surface; whom Fortune by attacking ever wounds herself.”

Horace, Satires, 2.7

Due to an unforeseen side-effect of my new medication, I can no longer taste carbonation, so all sodas, etc. are now flat and vile to me.

Halo MCC on my Steam Deck is a dream come true.

"You should look, not to the source from which these things come, but to the goal towards which they tend. If there is anything that can make life happy, it is good on its own merits; for it cannot degenerate into evil."
