It is my opinion that all standing desks should have a safety switch marked "EJECT" or "FIRE MISSILES!"

In practicality, it is to make sure I've checked for clearances before I raise or lower the desk. But there are days where it also provides some critical and cathartic fidgeting!

Huge shout out to @jeffgeerling.com for creating an easy to follow Network UPS Tools (NUT) and HomeAssistant guide. I just completed a plugs out test on my UPS and server rack, and all 10 nodes (including two that I needed to build custom shutdown scripts) all powered off when UPS hit low battery 🤗

Hey Nerdy Linux HomeLab friends: If you're using Pi-Hole as an Ad-Blocker and recently upgraded to V6, check your backups. The Teleporter command line functionality has moved from pihole -a -t >> pihole-FTL --teleporter.

My wife used my DIY box of twine over at her school garden today. She got a passer-by to chuckle, making it all worth while!

Many of my friends and family woke up this week to renewed challenges, by the incoming administration, to their right to exist. Of the many, many emotions and desires for action I'm working through at the moment, I wish to start with love and support. I see you, I support you, and I love you ❤️

Pulled a tool out of storage just to see if a super small jumper was open or closed. That turned into an hour long side quest of LED inspection. So cool!
