Weekly Notes 04 May 2025

Time to revisit which DNS services to use.
First draft of Open source project sustainability article.
Doing a little work on Wikitree, importing the GED file. Need to better understand this site, as it seems to have a single tree (that we all edit), which might be enormously time-consuming, or might be fun-as-hell, or both, or neither. Review latest GEDCOM matches here.
Fiddling with audio on Linux (always (not) fun), including adding Reaper, removing the sad LMMS, and trying to figure out how to get proper latency across USB condenser mic and USB MIDI keyboard (at the very least) -- do I need a real-time kernel? -- with possibly other inputs. I know I might need hardware, but let's see how far this can go...

Health

The weather is strange here as it is not full of PM2.5, largely due to rain in the evenings. It feels a bit like the rainy season already, but it isn't yet.
Finally getting over sickness here. Will likely start again with the start of school next week, sigh.

Hell Mode finished through Vol. 4.
No one gets past this gatekeeper reread Vol.1 and then finished Vol.2-3. The writing has gotten a bit tiresome, though the characters are still interesting.
Finished all the Murderbot Diaries (7 Vols, some quite short). Ready for the film, though my guess from the trailer is it will be a bit disappointing.
Discovered the Light Novel subreddit, so lots to look up.

Captain Tsubasa is still quite good (though a bit silly)
Going over the various Star Wars films with the boys.
Watching season 2 of Andor, I vacillate between boredom and interest. The main actor has grown more impressive in my eyes.
