I had the idea of a drink to serve at scifi convention room parties. It is called a Martian Mule. Take a copper cup and fill it with 1 1/2 fluid ounces of Vodka, ice cubes, 1/2 cup of raspberry lemonade, and one wedge of a blood orange.

I changed my app for my weight loss. I was using MyFitnessPal. I had a paid subscription, but it asks to sign up. When I do it says I already have one. I canceled it and uninstalled the app. I changed to Lose It. I can scan barcodes with it. I hope I get a better expirence.

I paid my membership to the Montreal World Con. I will reserve my hotel room at a latter date. Thinking about getting a suite because I want to do a party room. Called it the Cosmic Lounge and have karaoke with food and drink.

This is a crazy idea I got from watching Chad the Bird on YouTube. He said something how humans should stay on the ground where the weed and pizza is, and I though weed in pizza. I know it is crazy and how would you do that. Then I thought could you put the weed in the pizza dough and make that the pot edible part? Or would it be better as a pizza topping? What other toppings would be good? I don’t do drugs so I don’t know how it would work. It is a crazy idea that most likely to go no where.

I have been working a SciFi RPG setting for Savage Worlds. One of the problems I have is with the warp drive. The SciFi Companion has it as same system, same galaxy, and different galaxy. My scope is much smaller using just a section of the milky way galaxy. Also there are 3 different warp drives calls warp-1, warp-2, and warp-3. The number is a warp factor with how many light years you can get travel in a week. Well I am going to work on it and have something that will work for my setting.

I am making progress on my Docker box. I was struggling with the Command Line Interface trying to get containers created and running. I wanted to have a Graphical User Interface and I found an app provides that and makes it much easier with Portainer.
I want to add more apps and I may want to have it be accessible to the outside that is safe. I have been looking into some ideas like Tailscale or a reverse proxy through a service like CloudFlare. I will keep you posted of my progress.

I built a box with docker on it and I am having headaches on trying to learn it. I plan on getting some info with YouTube videos.

Bought a metal wire shelf so I can put my PCs for my home labbing project.
With my NAS box I added a Docker box and looking to gets some apps running on it.

I have talked before on my home labbing project. I am starting out but I have a NAS box I built with OpenMediaVault. It has one SSD for the operating system and two traditional HDD. This is where I keep backups of my pictures, documents, videos, music and software downloads.
Now I am looking into getting a computer that I can put Docker containers to run apps on. Apps I am thinking of running is Jellyfin (videos), Immich (photos), RetroRom (video game roms), and much more. Planning to install Ubuntu Server as the operating system. Of the two PC the bigger one on the right is for that. The one on the left doesn’t have RAM or storage.
You might be wondering where I get some of these PC. I work it IT so where I work was getting rid of PC in the picture labelled future projects. As for the NAS box I built that with parts I bought online and assembled them. I will keep you posted on the project.
