I've decided to actually maintain a Gemini log which covers my real, daily life... rather than my virtual life in video games :)
Keeping up Scalita's journal while playing Black Desert Online has been very fun. Now, you'll notice that there haven't been any updates to that journal since like June. The truth is, I straight up haven't played Black Desert at all since then ... except when the new season started, I got myself a Corsair character and played with some of my online friends.
I've been updating dressupgeekout.com and tweaking other things today, so that's what put me in the mood to actually write something here.
Definitely the most interesting thing that's happened today is that the Dreamcast broadband adapter ("BBA") arrived! Way ahead of schedule, I think. I mean, I wasn't expecting it to arrive *today.* But I did take it for a spin. After a bit of fiddling around, I am able to give my Dreamcast a writeable root file system over NFS!
The NetBSD wiki article is slightly misleading in terms of communicating to the reader the kind of work that's actually required in getting NFS-boot to work on the Dreamcast. I had to learn how to set up a DHCP server, and dhcpd.conf's man page is *VERY LONG*.
I would like to write a proper tutorial about it, and ideally I'd also make a video and upload it to YouTube.
I think I'll wait for tomorrow to talk about the Apollo Vampire V4+ which arrived yesterday! I've been thinking about showcasing all the new, interesting computer hardware and software I've acquired recently.
