He/Him | 35 | I am a nerd.
I do computer stuff/IT/cyberwhatnot.
I tinker, take apart, build, make and break things.
Learning is a passion, but so is perpetually finding more hobbies.
I will post many pictures of my husky, Artemis and bengal, Bagheera.

Working on changing the X axis gantry for my 3D printer with a linear rail system. There's a lot of change to the nozzle position that I am going to have to work with, but so far the mounting system is looking good!

The mead is aging with the oak, had a taste the other day and wow, it is really good.

Just re-racked the mead, got it ageing with some charred oak. It did not consume all of the sugar, the current ABV ended up being about 17%. Tastes pretty good now, can't wait for the final product to be ready in about two months.

This reminded me of a video I saw a long time ago. In fact it even uses the same diagram I think.

Here are some more! This river shot was my favorite long exposure I took this weekend. It took me more attempts to get this one than I'd like to admit. This tunnel I thought looked wonderful in this light. These adventures really make me want to get some camera upgrades.

Some photos I took during my hike this weekend. Playing around with aperture settings as well as shutter speed. It was a wonderful hike. Photography is fun!

What an insanely good long weekend I just had. Rarely can I say that this, and it was fantastic.

Is it still camping if you have cell service? Or is that just paying to sleep in the cold?

Dealership wanted to charge me more than $600 for rear brakes. Cost me $60 and 45 min to do it myself. Also, there's a few decent Bluetooth ODB readers on Amazon. I use the Torque app with it. Works great!

Still blows my mind that using Adblock isn't a standard practice for most.
Do you use ad blockers? If not, you should. Clicking the wrong download button can have serious consequences.

With the relatively recent increase in YouTube premium, this will at least make it easier to use Adblock. For some users at least.
EU privacy advocates have declared ad-blocker detectors to be spyware, and could put a stop to youtube's crackdown.

YouTube’s ad blocker crackdown isn’t just annoying, it could be illegal in Europe
Can YouTube legally block ad blockers in the EU?

Artemis and I ran a 10k PR! Look how happy she looks! But now we're both pretty tired. Laying in front of a fan after a run is a plus though.
