The Void

So, this is just a quick post about the Pixel Watch 4. I got it a few months ago and have used it essentially nonstop, the 41mm LTE variant. I like the watch, but the big thing I noticed is there there is NO out of the box USB support. So adb has to be wireless, and fastboot is not possible. The USB cable for the PW4 is available to purchase invite-only for repair shops.

So, I got a “new” (new to me) SSD from the trash pile at work. It was in an old crusty Intel-era iMac that’s been sitting out there for who knows how long (months to years), being exposed to the elements. I took it out and cleaned it up as the SSD itself was dirty, surprisingly there was minimal water/dirt ingress to the interior. A quick teardown and cleaning later, and it was time to test.

Welcome Back!!! It sure has been a while, hasn’t it? Just the date from the previous two posts alone would make this 8 or so YEARS since I’ve last posted (or even has this website up). Well, a TON of changed regarding myself and my selfhosting. I have an actual server now, made from consoomer hardware but using enterprise grade storage and ZFS, which is where this site is being hosted from.

We’ve moved to a new blogging backend as you can see, We’re using hugo with the potato-dark theme instead of wordpress. We made this move for various reasons, the main reason being wordpress was slow and we didn’t need all that for a simple blog.
