Media Consumption
Hi again, this post may seem somewhat random, but I just wanted to write an entry about what I've been reading/listening too recently.
Reading
While I in the past would have frowned down upon myself reading "self help books", I recently picked up Dopamine Nation and thought that it was quite a good read. This is going to sound very generic, but I thought that the book gave me another perspective on things that I may have thought about once or twice, but never really given much thought to. Through the whole book, I was drawn in and enjoyed reading the small personal anecdotes from both Lembke and her patients. Although I know that many of the stories were likely cherrypicked to weave the certain narrative that Lembke wanted to put forth, I thought that they all swayed me in a good way.
Music
In addition to reading, I've also been listening to music a bit more recently. So far, I've been getting back into music I used to enjoy which includes some j-jazz and other electronic/dance stuff. An album I found recently was Tickle the Ivory by Minoru Mukaiya who was the keyboardist for Casiopea. I REALLY enjoyed this album. Some of my favorite songs within it on my first run through were Long Term Memory, Asayake, and Reflections of You. I found that each of these songs were fun and quite playful and I enjoyed listening to them.
Besides chilling out and relaxing, I've not really been doing too much. Although, one thing I did do which took a while was reorganizing my homelab and moving my services from a VM running docker to individual LXCs. This allows me more control (although probably less separation), and allows me to segment them within the network.
Thanks for reading,
