It’s time for me to get lost in the ReLoad moments. I saw Metallica on the “Poor ReTouring Me” tour back in 1998.

In addition to the Vinyl Box Set, the CD version is also available in Earbook format.

Slayer Store is sold out of the LIMITED EDITION HELL AWAITS 40TH ANNIVERSARY “BLOOD” FILLED VINYL. According to Slayer, this format is limited to just 666 units worldwide.

It’s all about the Immich

I might be late to the scene, but still I am so stoked about immich, a “Self-hosted photo and
video management solution”
.

I’ve just finished installing Immich (styled as immich) on a test server with proper domain name and SSL certificate. It’s a fairly underpowered server with minimal amount of RAM, which at this point is not cost effective to upgrade thanks to the rising prices.

Replacing Batteries

Spent quite a significant amount of time replacing batteries on a lot of gadgets today. Sensors, AirTags, remotes, etc.

Luckily I managed to get a good deal on those CR2032 batteries.

Maybe it’s time to cancel HBO Max Subscription

HBO Max has been “cracking down” on account sharing for quite sometimes now. I first got the message some months ago, even though I technically did not share my account. I do however watch HBO Max at the office, where I have an Apple TV.

I also occasionally watch HBO Max at a home office at my friend’s house which we often do work on.

In addition to that I also use my iPad and iPhone to watch some HBO Max.

Apparently HBO Max system is flagging my account as being shared.

HBO Max, warning to subscribe to keep watching.
Verify Your HBO Max Household

The worst part is now I kept getting this message whenever I’m launching HBO Max app at home.

Maybe it’s time to cancel the subscription.

Friends of Bear Cat Rescue

Wonton T. Cat, from Friends of Bear Cat Rescue

I had been following Friends of Bear Cat Rescue for more than a year now.

It started with a post about a kitten named Wonton, who fell off a window from a 5-story building and in need of emergency surgery. Throughout Wonton’s recovery, I learned more about Friends of Bear Cat Rescue and its founder Haley. I have soft spots for animals, such as cats and I fell in love with what Haley’s been doing.

Go to Friends of Bear Cat Rescue and help them if you can.
