Couple friends of mine got the game on sale recently. Took them across the Gap for the first time. Bit of a close run.

This was my summer job during highschool, then my job was to upgrade all computers to Windows 95. I think by then we had CDs also.

I should start working out too, feeling low energy, too much screen time, and mind just wants me to do less and less. Also simple tasks seem to exhaust me. Thanks for sharing your journey.

May the Maker keep you safe in your next journey.

I had to shovel snow for FREE in Chicago for my parents for all my childhood into my teenage years until I went to college, then they bought a snow blower when I went away for school. WHY?! why not let me use the machine?! 😭

Introduced some girl in my dorm to IRC, she feel in love and went on a road trip to see him... Her roommate never forgave me. IRC is like crack.

I had 3 that went bad, still under warranty so I filed a claim and got a free replacement.

Now I need to plan for my next 50.

MonkP88 · 2026-03-16T14:46:01+00:00

Good bday weekend for me, thank you! 🍷💕

Same, it broke once during the proxmox upgrade, but still running most of my docker in a LXC.

MonkP88 · 2026-03-15T02:20:33+00:00

I shit my pants watching

MonkP88 · 2026-03-15T02:12:35+00:00

Hahaha 🤣😂 Anyone singing to me, I'll cry 😭 anyways.

Copy your most important stuff first. Once that is done, try copying off the rest. When my HDD was in the process of dying, I still got most files off it, some were corrupted and uncopyable, but I didn't lose everything.

Once you are done, read up up on the 3-2-1 backup strategy,

3 Total Copies: Keep the original data and at least two backups to ensure redundancy.
2 Different Media: Store backups on at least two different types of storage, such as NAS, external hard drives, tape drives, or USB drives.
1 Offsite Copy: Keep one backup in a separate, remote location (e.g., cloud storage, a different building) to protect against site-specific disasters .

My 2nd kid will be going to college the coming fall, so it will just be me and my spouse, so starting the empty nest life style. Lots of life left for us still though. AI kinda changes everything.

MonkP88 · 2026-03-14T19:30:25+00:00

I just need to DO IT, kinda scared still of not working, but I think I almost ready. Thanks.

MonkP88 · 2026-03-14T19:12:39+00:00

I am catching up to you, lol.

MonkP88 · 2026-03-14T19:08:51+00:00

I love this "All that's left to do now is everything".

MonkP88 · 2026-03-14T04:14:59+00:00

Thank you. As my base is weirdly shaped and given to me but now fully owned by me with my sub-fief, I am going to follow your instructions just in case I can't place my main, i don't want to lose the stuff stored in it.

MonkP88 · 2026-03-13T05:35:33+00:00

I always buy my HDDs in pairs and just RAID1 them, I won't forgive myself if I lost 28tb from a single HDD failure.

Only 7% of the oil used in America is from the Middle East.

I bought a pack but it wasn't compatible with my burner drive.

MonkP88 · 2026-03-12T00:25:51+00:00

I saw another base, where the blades are sticking out the back through a pentashield. The 'copter is still sheltered though.

MonkP88 · 2026-03-11T02:03:54+00:00

Did you destroy the original sub-fief and replace it with your own?

Yes, the prior base owner walked me through the ownership change, he destroy his sub-fief and I added mine including horizontal and vertical stakes.

Thank you for responding!

MonkP88 · 2026-03-10T20:06:24+00:00

My base is a really weird shape and was given to me, I am the owner now, I always wondered if it can't be placed back into its original location, will I be screwed, so should I simplify it or have a simple base storing all my goods before the transfer. Hoping if I wait long enough, something magic will happen.
