Drove my Camaro over 600km doing the circle route from Lillooet through Whistler to Vancouver and back through the Fraser Valley and Canyon - all in 14 hours including seeing the concert in Vancouver. Epic adventure and awesome rock concert!

Mammoth, Big Wreck and Creed were awesome in Vancouver last night! 😎🤘

Great. I'm working on my first open source project right now, hoping to release it into the wild this summer sometime!

I'm building a custom search engine, a project I've wanted to do for a long time! I'll be re-homing my Lenovo RS160 inside my original Google Mini Search Appliance chassis. #customserver #searchengine #oldtech

I gotta say, I didn't like iSCSI as much as I thought I would. Disk over infiniband is sick (and bonkers fast) but not very reliable.

I'm closer to being married than I ever have been before! 58 days...

Today I have reached a major milestone in the development of LLM Controller!I've finished developing my Private Beta, I've got around 10 more features to finish the first Public Beta, but this software has come a long way since February!I haven't been this excited about coding in years a...Read more

Same. We had 13C over here in BC on Summer solstice.

Just had my server internet connection (1 of them) upgraded from 1.5Gb to 2Gb and damn, 20 year old me would shit his pants seeing a 9GB file downloaded in like 35 seconds. #internet #upgrade #fast

I was un-suspended from 𝕏 😅

Wow 🔥

I know it's time to clean the shop when there's a Chevy LS engine block sitting on the floor like this 😂😅😅😅 #Chevy #LS #smallblock

I also own an entire PS2 Linux kit that is still functional to this day 👍

Hey in case you didn't know there's an entire PS2 Linux forums archive hosted on my server for the past 10+ years. ps2-linux.tensioncore.com - I also host archives of other PS sites from back in the day. Links at the bottom of my business website www.tensioncore.com

Lol wrecked

GTAVI is a nice evolution looking like RDR2 levels of quality, detail and size.

My new smooth streaming is now implemented into my blog/CMS software, complete with file uploads, transcoding status and easy copy links/pretty URLs.

Along with the cull I also did some updates to the graphics, descriptions and playlists.

The PIVOT has begun over on my NickDoddTV YouTube Channel!
I've culled the videos to narrow the focus a bit, and will continue making server/tech related content a lot more moving forward.

Thank fucking baby Jesus he didn't win.

New 3.5GHz 20/40 core CPUs for my web server tonight!! #upgrade

Side project for the night complete ✅ I wrote and deployed an IIS HLS + DASH video chunk streaming optimization to allow smooth video streaming and retroactively applies to all prior uploaded videos. This had to be done because IIS Smooth Streaming and Media Services don't exist anymore. #IIS
