Target Game!
One night, a few staff and players got together with a potion of almost unlimited levitation and created a game! The aim of the game was to land in the center ring when you land. Each ring totaled a different amount of money the player could win! It was such a fun night!

Follow this comprehensive guide to building and securing your Linux server from scratch, ensuring strong protection and optimal performance.
Build and Secure Your Linux Server: A Quick Guide
Want to create a powerful and secure Linux server? Here's your step-by-step guide to get started!
Why Linux? Linux is the go-to for flexibility, security, and stability. Whether you’re hosting websites or managing data, it's the perfect choice for tech enthusiasts.
1. Choose Your Distribution Pick the right distro based on your needs:
Ubuntu for beginners.
CentOS for stable enterprise use.
Debian for secure, critical systems.
2. Install the OS Keep it lean by installing only what you need. Whether on a physical machine or virtual, the installation is simple.
3. Secure SSH Access Lock down SSH by:
Disabling root login.
Using SSH keys instead of passwords.
Changing the default port for added security.
4. Set Up the Firewall Configure UFW or iptables to control traffic. Block unnecessary ports and only allow trusted sources.
5. Regular Updates Always keep your system updated. Run updates often to patch vulnerabilities and keep your server running smoothly.
6. Backup Your Data Use tools like rsync to back up regularly. Don’t wait for disaster to strike.
7. Monitor and Maintain Regular check logs and monitor server health to catch any issues early. Stay ahead with security patches.
IT stuff knocking around in my head and what I've been doing the last 3 years
Got this idea to get my old radio station running again last night (06/10/2024) and now I'm definitely doing it. Tippy Radio will rise once more! I created my own Network Attached Storage System (NAS/File Server) back in 2020 with a Raspberry pi which then also became a plex server to stream all the films and tv shows in my collection in the home and outside. Eventually I figured Proxmox would let me do more with just the one pc and now it's grown into an adblocker with plex and my nas all in one. The old pc I'm using is a Dell Optiplex 3050 with an i5-6500T and 32gb of ram. It's not fast by any means with just 4 threads and no hyperthreading but she does the job for now. I'm upgrading as soon as I get the funds saved up to a Ryzen 9 7900 with 96gb of ram. I didn't choose the 9900X because I want more efficiency as a whole but I will be tweaking the voltage a little since I'm a classic undervolter so I'll try and squeeze a little bit of extra performance without using extra power. My plan after the upgrade is potentially to get my old radio station running again with MacOS in a vm. So far I've managed to get Sequoia running but with the new machine with 12 cores and 24 total threads, it'll damn near fly. My other idea for the server since I've started using Steam Remote Play outside the house is to add my 6700xt from my current gaming rig to the server and pass it through to a Windows 11 vm and then remotely play games around the house. The challenge is making Windows believe it's running on bare metal. Even though I don't play multiplayer games, I'm not trying to have my account banned for the anti-cheat considering a virtual machine to be cheating It's funny how teachers in college and school said I would never be an IT guy but I've consistently been the family and friends IT guy people go to for advice since I was a kid.
