I wanted to move away from Tailscale but found Headscale a bit too convoluted for what I actually needed.

Ended up with a simple WireGuard setup using two VPSes: one as a VPN hub, the other acting as a reverse proxy back into my home lab.

It lets me expose services publicly without any inbound port forwarding on my home connection.

Thomas Shaknovsky botched the surgery of William Bryan, 70, who died on the operating table

According to Shaknovksy’s deposition, after removing Bryan’s liver, the surgeon instructed a nurse to label the organ as a “spleen” – and he also identified it as a spleen in Bryan’s postoperative notes. Shaknovsky later said he had been “mentally compromised” at the time of Bryan’s death, explaining that he was “devastated, demoralized, crying over his passing, felt that I failed him”.

Today’s game is Twilight Princess. Specifically the new Dusk port that came out. I’ve had a rocky relationship with Twilight Princess in the past. I’m not a fan of how some of the human characters look (and by that I mean the “Tim Burton-esque” look I hear people praise it for) and I’m also not a fan of how long it takes to get started. These are not to say I think it’s a bad game. Far from it. But from a personal perspective I am not a fan.

What do I like though? I like the way the world looks. Especially the twilight sections. They have this nice copper ish and warm lighting that’s gorgeous on the models.

And the water? God it looks amazing. It’s like a perfect sequel to what I loved about Ocarina of Times water. The sound, color, and texture are all amazing. I think I could be water boarded with this water and be happy about it.

While we’re on the subject of this water, I want to talk more about its location (Hyrule Field). This one I feel like is a complaint. But there’s some places in this game that feel almost empty in a way? Like just vast spaces with a little bit too much space. Sometimes I feel like an ant. Maybe I’m used to Ocarina of Time’s Hyrule Field, but this feels bleak and maze like by comparison.

I do like how the Mail Man hums the item get Jingle though. That got a laugh out of me.

Ultimately I have some things I like about this game, others not so much. I’m determined to see it through this time though compared to all my other runs. So we’ll see if I follow through.

A recently discovered bug in Android 16 allows any app to leak traffic outside the VPN tunnel.

The bug was reported to the Android Security Team, but was closed as Won’t Fix (Infeasible) [...] In contrast, GrapheneOS, a security-focused Android-based OS, quickly patched the issue in its codebase.

A mitigation is possible, but is quite technical in that it requires USB debugging to be enabled on the device in order to run the following Android Debug Bridge (adb) commands:

adb shell device_config put tethering close_quic_connection -1

adb reboot

Lots of layoffs ("re-evaluating our operational footprint") and switching to "agentic" processes. Target user is AI.

Anyone still hosting Gitlab?

I recently found the author clock, and it inspired me to do my own version. I won't actually bother with the clock function; just an e-ink display in my living room I can control. Something I can feed whatever text I like and have it rotate periodically. From a quick look around, I'm finding Waveshare, Inkbox, and TRMNL. I'm looking for something I can have some degree of remote control over so I don't have to go plug it in constantly. It seems like all three can achieve this. I don't love the looks of the Inkbox or TRMNL, and they're more expensive. The wooden housing on the author clock would look really nice in my space and I'd love to recreate that. But I wanted to see how difficult it is to frame up, set up, and maintain a Waveshare before I dive in. Particularly since it seems that you need to integrate a pi for those.
