A couple of months ago I decided to finally get around to doing my Foundation license for Amateur Radio. I was successful, got assigned my callsign, and went out and bought myself a basic radio kit. I’m mostly interested in the QRP (low power) side of things, and constructing my own equipment, antennas and that sort of stuff.

I’ve been playing DCS World a fair bit more lately, specifically the F/A-18C module. I have a HOTAS Warthog controller, which is pretty great, but unfortunately the switches can be a bit deficient when you’re playing something that is not an A-10C.

I finally got around to installing the TMC2208 stepper drivers into my AnyCubic i3 Mega the other day. I bought a set of FYSETC TMC2208 v1.2 stepper drivers ages ago, but never got around to actually installing them.

It’s possible to run Podman as non-root, such that it runs in the context of a standard user. This is pretty good for a number of reasons, but there’s a few steps that need to be done to make this happen.

As I discussed in my post on Jekyll, you can run Jekyll in a container. I’ve since modified this process somewhat due to running into what looks like a 2020 windowing bug with old versions of Ruby.

I’m doing a fair bit of mucking about in Minecraft lately, specifically with All The Mods 3 Remix. One thing that’s a common problem in modded minecraft is maintaining stock of materials.
