Memories of a Younger Era — Tokyo Hiroshima Kyoto
Memories of Japan are easy to get lost in, the time period was often a blur. Capsule hotels, bullet trains, insomnia, and several neuro-cognitive mods offering symbiotic boosts to perception. Stimulated by a then-unknown cranial passenger, a surging PRL level resulted, HPG-axis thrown off course, thyroid blasting T3 in feedback-loop, resulting metabolic rate sky high.

🌐 Weekend Hardware Update 🌐
Some additional reorganization time this weekend, all busy with the process of preparing the HomeLab for another interstate relocation. Having decided to repurpose some hardware to create a new router, this one formerly hosted infra VMs several years ago, but now it's going to run a pair of "BSD Router Project" VMs for on-host H/A, and a bit of packet shuffling between hosts for RDMA
