Habitat for Humanity
Participated in my first Habitat for Humanity build yesterday. Hung drywall, I’m glad I participated but god do I hurt today. Gives me a new appreciate for people that do that kind of work as a living.

Home Server
I must say, I am really liking unRAID on my home server. It is working great for what I need. Next steps for the server are to swap out the Core i7-4770 CPU, motherboard & RAM for dual Opteron 4280s, dual socket C32 board and 64GB of ECC RAM. At some point, I will get a Rosewill L-4500 case as well.

Pi-hole
I have decided to run Pi-hole at home again. I just got tired of all the ads making pages take forever to load. However, I have had to add some ad sites to the Whitelist just to get things working (I’m looking at you PBS Roku app). I may have gone overkill on what I block, but better safe than sorry. Especially because my kids are just about to the point of going online. If you’d like my lists, let me know and I can post them.

funtoo Linux
I’ve decided that I really have no reason to have Windows on my laptop since I don’t use it all that often so tonight I’m going to embark on installing funtoo Linux on it. It will most definitely be an interesting time but given the age of my laptop shouldn’t have to many surprises.
