Ha. He did the electrical when we installed a new tankless water heater. Did a good, clean job (no FBI surveillance installed). Would recommend.

Found a good link while watching videos on various uses of Docker to set up personal server(s). Figure it is a good refresher for me. I'm mostly self taught with linux so this should cover any gaps in my basic knowledge. I've gone through a few topics so far and it is mostly review fo[...]

Still need to power up the other Mac Mini and make sure there is nothing on it I need to pull off before replacing the OLD spinning hard drive with an SSD and sticking linux on it. (4/4)

Coming soon… Adventures in Self-Hosting

So I've been planning to experiment with self hosting for a while. I mostly want to host my own Friendica (so I can have all the connectors I want), maybe Hubzilla, and probably Bonfire - a new modular platform under development. Realistically, I'm watching…

I think it can scale fine if I decide to switch to paid hosting and open up any platform(s) I decide to run. Probably won't get things up and public until April or May. I am excited to start experimenting!!!!

Lewis & Clark College displays rare medieval manuscripts for first time in nearly 30 years The exhibit features medieval manuscripts, including prayer books and legal documents, as old as 800 years. OPB's "Think Out Loud" spoke with a professor and the head of special collections at Lewis & Clark for more details.

“Shaping the Soul” is an exhibit of over 30 manuscripts from the Middle Ages, the first of its kind in Portland in almost three decades. The exhibit in the college’s department of special collections displays items that originate from Western Europe between the 13th and 16th centuries.

Portland’s Hollywood Theatre screens 100 years of movie magic Through community involvement and a deep appreciation of the art of film, the iconic theater keeps the movie-going experience alive in Portland.

Located on Northeast Sandy Boulevard, film lovers consider the Hollywood Theatre a landmark of Portland’s independent cinema scene, regularly selling out special screenings of films, and bringing in cinematic icons, like Quentin Tarantino.

High on a Swiss hill: the oldest playable organ in the world The 15th-century organ at Notre-Dame de Valère in Sion attracts fans from all over the world.

A period pipe organ!

Ezekiel 16:49-50
