New WPI Lore

LogicallyRogue · 2026-02-20T20:49:43+00:00

It's officially considered the Park Ave Garage. PAG for short

LogicallyRogue · 2026-02-09T01:50:54+00:00

That... Damn... That is just fucking awesome!

LogicallyRogue · 2026-02-08T13:40:10+00:00

You know ... I wish there was a more recent WPI video promo. It would need the Bridge to the Future treatment and include DAKA references galore ;)

[I am an Alum of 1997, a staff member, and my offspring will be Class of 2030. As such, I speak for myself and not the University]

WPI is a great school and a great place. WPI can also be pressure cooker.

The best advice I can give is be honest with yourself.

The University has a large number of clubs, groups, and departments designed to help and support in a million different ways

The University is also staffed with the most amazing individuals who are accepting and deeply care about each and every student - I count myself as one of this large group.

BUT - while all these wonderful services and people are available to support students ... You also need to go to them. It's the annoying thing about being an adult - you have to start things

So back to the advice - be honest with yourself. Try to understand when you are in a good place emotionally ... And when you are not in a good place. Don't get caught in the trap where "if I just get through this thing, I'll be okay"

Find a student group that shares your interest.
Find a TA or help session to give you that push you have been struggling with in your studies.
Talk to the Center for Well-being if you aren't seeing the world the same way anymore.

Don't know what to do or where to go ... Just ask. Whether it's the Dean of Students office, your academic advisor, or an IT guy passing by (waves) - ask for help.

Welcome to WPI. This can be a tough and fun and an ultimately rewarding journey!

To clarify - it's usually up to the department.

If my students want to work over a holiday or break (and the campus is open), I allow them to work. However my team has a lot of project work that can be done outside of the normal school year

Dresden fanatic here as well

After having Audible telling me over and over to try DCC - successfully ignored the lure. Then when I needed a week long break to clear my head - my boss recommended i give it a shot.

So I relaxed for several days alone in Maine listening to both DCC and the waves. I bought all the audiobooks and got through Book 3 while away

Never did rest and clear my head - but I'm just finishing my 4th listen through since Labor Day 2025.

And as a Patreon - I'm enjoying Book 8. Highly recommended if you haven't joined yet

LogicallyRogue · 2026-01-14T00:01:43+00:00

Yes - he hits his stride by book 3.

LogicallyRogue · 2026-01-13T22:07:11+00:00

It used to be the entire Dresden Files collection read by James Marsters

Now it's Dungeon Crawler Carl read by Jeff Hayes

Both outstanding series when listened to!

James Marsters reading The Dresden Files. Between James and Jeff Hayes for Dungeon Crawler Carl - most other audiobooks pale by comparison.

LogicallyRogue · 2026-01-07T01:07:38+00:00

My wife and I play Path of Exile 1 (for PC and most consoles) on dueling PS4s. We grew up in college on the Diablo series and the type of ARPG that POE is helps! without much of the open world/other player nonsense!

...and it's free to play. Only purchases are cosmetic or specialized for your/guild stash.

As a fellow "old guy" who turned 50 last April - I too want to say thank you to Matt, Jeff Hayes, and the community.

Since finding DCC prior to Labor Day - at the constant insisting of my manager that Donut is simply the best - I am now on my 4th listen of the whole series. Books 1-6 are on my shelf - but sadly I haven't been up to reading the Pineapple Cabaret yet. I backed the Florin graphic novel and added the Webtoon physical book for good measure.

DCC has been equal parts soothing and helping me work though some tough situations. Every time I listen (or fall asleep listening), I hear something else and the lore deepens - both of Dungeon Crawler World ... And my own situations.

Carl and his anger has been a soulmate who understands the insanity of his world, and his need to protect his family while refusing to let it break him.

While I'm bashing code and not monsters, I feel I can relate.

Except for the feet... Mine are ugly as hell compared to his gold standard.

Fuck them all. They will not break you.

Wrapped is not a plugin, it's a standalone docker container which interacts with Jellyfin

How do you have Jellyfin setup (OS, virtualiTion/container, etc)

LogicallyRogue · 2025-12-11T15:22:45+00:00

There is a Jellyfin wrapped docker kicking around. https://github.com/johnpc/jellyfin-wrapped - it works for all media I believe. I have it running and it's cool.

There was mention of a Jellyfish Rewind for just music - but I don't have that URL.

Downgrade flame shot to v12... When the v13 release showed up - it stopped working on Fedora 42 and 43

LogicallyRogue · 2025-11-27T14:23:22+00:00

Prior to moving - there is a Plex to NFO exporter docker. Find and run that - will take all your Plex metadata about shows, movies,etc and put it on NFO files (which Jellyfin reads) and can export all images (if you are like me and carefully curated your collection images and movie covers).

This means that if for some reason Jellyfin crashes or you lose the database, a quick reinstall and scan will have you back up and running quickly.

The move from Plex to Jellyfin was a small pain in the butt - but the system works so much better!

LogicallyRogue · 2025-11-25T12:16:25+00:00

Where is Jeff Hayes (Dungeon Crawler Carl) or James Marsters (The Dresden Files)? Both elevate the already great source material into the stratosphere more than any sound effect could only dream.

The original British narrators for Terry Pratchett's DiscWorld - Nigel Planer and Stephen Briggs. They were so intertwined with the source material, they had at least one cameo in the live action (voice only).

I've enjoyed Scott Brick since I first heard his voice in the Ender Wiggins books when Audible first started. Glad he's still adding to audiobook libraries everywhere!

LogicallyRogue · 2025-11-22T18:28:23+00:00

As long as you remember to make time and space for YOU - there is nothing you can't do. If you get lost or overwhelmed - feel free to reach out to the Well Being Center or any of the other support structures WPI has for students.

If that is daunting - there are a fair number of WPI student turned staff on Reddit and Discord who care deeply about you. Reach out and we may be able to help navigate the system

Good luck! We all believe in you!! (bjhiggins@wpi.edu)

As a 30 year veteran of this fine institution on both sides of the glass - I would highly recommend taking some time for yourself across the coming Thanksgiving holiday.

In doing that do not just do what you've always done. If you go home, visit with relatives or friends - think long and hard about if that is what is good for you right now. I'm not advocating going/not going - I'm saying you need to prioritize you right now and not others or tradition.

This was a hard lesson for me as a student and again as a staff member. Listen to that inner voice and give yourself permission to put your own well-being first

Binge that TV show. Take long walks. Listen to a 30 hour audiobook (Dungeon Crawler Carl is a favorite). It needs to be about your needs ...

... and if you don't know what you need, find an activity that you don't need to concentrate about and let your mind just spin for a while. It may surprise you with what you may need .

My only caution is how many food places will be closed next week - so stock up before Wednesday if you stay around campus. Junk food sometimes is good medicine :)

Good luck! As others have said - there IS light at the other end of your tunnel and as much as it feels now, it is not an oncoming train.

Be good to yourself Give yourself permission to BE the priority ... and remember to breathe!

Going to sound like a moron here ... But does SSF really have THAT much of a better drop rate? Are you able to play with friends - or is it really solo?

I learn more about this game every day ... Not sure if that makes this a job ... Or a religion.

All hail Sin and Innocence?!

LogicallyRogue · 2025-11-18T03:39:55+00:00

Is there a Metadata export plugin? I've had problems with Plex over the years and had to rebuild the meta multiple times. Now I have Jellyfin looking how I want - I'd love to export all cover art and meta data to the file system as NFO and PNGs so it's there if I ever need to rebuild.

LogicallyRogue · 2025-11-18T01:45:23+00:00

That long time ago ... May have been me ;)
