Sunday, November 27th, 2022 It is the two-year-anniversary of my first gopher post, here on SDF. I am making this post much as I made that one - using nano while logged in. I did not plan for this specifically, but it is an interesting coincidence. I have been trying to keep myself working on various projects these past several weeks, not that I have much spare time but because I find myself much more content when I am working on things that I like to do, even if I have to force myself to do them. Including my morning prep and commute there and back home, my work day is now 12.5 hours long, so I am feeling pretty wiped out by the time I can start to do my own things. Considering this job offers no benefits and I have not had a pay raise since my sixth month there, despite a major increase in responsibility, I do not think I will be working this job much longer. Today's projects were some minor work around the house, hanging new smoke detectors and a new curtain rod, and then working on setting up a solution for playing my Playstation 2 games on my old PS2 from high school, whose disk drive is finally starting to fail. I managed to track down some old software that was DMCA'd a decade ago, which functioned as both an archival tool for PS2 memory cards as well as a way to write PS2 software to them using the memory card adapter Sony originally released for the PS3. Next, I ripped an image of one of my PS2 games, and set it up on a USB stick. Appropriately enough, it's an Xbox 360 branded USB stick. The last step is to set up a Raspberry Pi as an SMB server, which has not been going smooth. It is getting to be very late / very early now, so I suppose I will end this here and pick up my projects again in the morning. If I can find the energy, I might also detail some of the other projects I have been working on since my last entry. We'll see, I guess. -Prokyonid
