Happy New Year! I\'m not counting this post under my homelab hours just
because. I do want to say that documentation is important though and I
wanted to start the new year focused on that.
## So what's new?
Nothing really. I plan to upgrade my phone so I\'m just getting things
together \"at home\" to backup all my photos and such so that the move
goes over easily. I think (90%) I\'m going to use tailscale for being
able to tunnel back to my home network when on the go. I have also been
looking into a more up to date router because the one I have is pretty
old (from 2019).
Oh on a software note I installed this app called Joplin. I\'m using it
to replace emacs and logseq when studying. Joplin is more like 1 Note or
Obsidian with a notebook to notes breakdown. Anyway I\'m liking it so
far and think I\'ll keep it up for my lab stuff. I just need to backup
things to my NAS and nextcloud.
## Where is our updated picture?
Glad you asked. It\'s here!

## Are you still doing the series?
I\'d like to until I hit 100hrs. I don\'t mind being flexible in my
goals for learning. Especially with the other stuff I accomplished last
quarter and I\'ll be starting up school again this year. Anyway all that
to say the new 100hr goal is my 30th bday (June). If I make it I\'m just
going to buy a beefier computer. If I don\'t make it\...I\'m still going
to buy a beefier computer. lol
I\'m trying to celebrate everything including the small things this year
so this is a win/win situation.
