DGS April

Dusty Game Society April games: Animal Forest for N64 and as an April Fools joke Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde for NES.

Animal Forest N64 and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde NES cartridges

Animal Forest was a disaster. Somehow ended up preferring Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Nextcloud CalDAV

Nextcloud update after a few months. CalDAV works great. Shared calendars, shared task lists, recurring events. Other providers seemed to struggle with this.

On Android synced via DAVx5 to Etar and Tasks.org.

OneDrive to Nextcloud

Switched from OneDrive to Nextcloud a few months ago.

Still don't fully trust the automatic photo upload. Probably unfounded. Running regular comparisons before pulling the plug on OneDrive for good.

New Whip

Got a new car. Felt like unboxing a smartphone. Register account, install apps, configure settings. Easy. Done in a few hours.

Took me a while to figure out how to start it.

Tinkering

Spent the evening tinkering with this site. Sidebar, tag cloud, tag filter, security bits. Enjoyed every minute of it.

This is what the web should feel like.

CachyOS

Switched to CachyOS on my laptop. Tried Pop!_OS first, too buggy. Wanted a non-Ubuntu base.

Digital independence in progress.

Moving to Qobuz

Trying to get rid of Spotify for ethical reasons. Moving to Qobuz. Recommended by a friend who knows his music. Qobuz even offers a transfer service.

For podcasts, I moved to AntennaPod. Had all the podcasts I'm listening to.

GB Operator

Recently bought the GB Operator from Epilogue. External cart reader for PC. Supports GB, GBC and GBA. Runs its own software. Loads, writes and backs up ROMs and saves.

Also: USB-C connection for phones to detect fake cartridges, not for gameplay. Firmware update required.

Random Tech Bits

Found this cool website hoster via TechDweeb Discord. Testing the microblogging waters now. No real plan, just random thoughts, mostly tech. Might get messy.
