    Deciding not to settle for a “red flag” person and instead respect my boundaries, rather than let myself be with a manipulative and dangerous person.

    I recently started using voice (SSB) on the HF ham bands, and have made contacts on 15, 17, 20, and 40m. No real DX, but made one foreign contact ~1000mi away and another domestic ~2000mi away.

    I live in a city and it’s challenging to get a good antenna setup, so it’s always a compromise where I am.

    Nothing very impressive by ham standards, but it’s fun.

    I’ve just taught myself to knit. I made a simple ribbed hat and now I’m halfway through a cabled headband. There are loads of mistakes and it’s not as relaxing as I would have hoped but I’m proud of it all none the less.

    I worked 4 hours today, filling in for someone, and I made it through the first half of the day without getting fired or falling apart.

    Not a lot to be proud of, I guess, but its been a while since I was able to be productive for even a few hours at a time.

    How 3D I got this to look!

    It’s a little mace like thing my character has on the end of his tail, it’s shiny and spiky but it’s just…I picked quite possibly the hardest shape to paint in a way that looks convincingly 3D, but I think I pulled it off! 😃

    I purchased a Tp-Link Archer C7 router at a thrift store for 5 dollars. Brought it home and flashed a specific revision of open-wrt to its firmware, and then ran an update file on top of that firmware revision to turn it into a pineapple router.

    Had no idea if it would work when I was doing this.

    Works great, the 5 bucks was totally worth it, and now I can use it to test hardening on my mobile devices.

    I’ve been having a lot of fun making experimental music on my laptop, and my friends recently helped me learn how to truly be proud of what I’m making.

    Here’s a quick link to a WIP I’m having fun with! The ending bit is supposed to transition into something like Grass Cannons by the Olivia Tremor Control, but I haven’t gotten to that just yet. I’m very meticulous with my production process, still not quite satisfied with what I got here.

    I recently got ranked very high in my country’s public healthcare medical examinations. Don’t want to doxx myself (the lists are public) but let’s just say it was really high.
