Oh joy! I recently discovered that by installing the Collaboro app on my phone, I can much more easily use my SOTD spreadsheet from NextCloud. It's very buggy in a phone browser, but this works as expected and is a great replacement for Google Sheets.
Thus, my journey of self-hosting things takes a step in the right direction.
Speaking of which, we have a Nixplay digital frame that shows pictures of our kid. The grandparents also have one. Starting April 21st, it won't show pictures from Google Photos anymore (without a subscription). This is classic enshitification.
Fortunately for me, I have a Raspberry Pi hooked to an old computer monitor that shows pictures from Immich (a Google Photos replacement). Unfortunately for the grandparents, they'll have to pay $20/yr. for the privilege.

- Brush: Chisel & Hound Gulf Short 26mm V22 Fanchurian
- Razor: Geneva Cutlery Co. 11/16 Hollow Ground Round Point | Maher & Grosh 11/16 Hollow Ground Square Point

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Very interesting comparison shave between the Geneva Cutlery razor's Jnat edge (mine), and the Maher & Grosh razor's Jnat edge (The Cajun Blade). The Maher & Grosh edge held up well, and felt comfortable and sharp. The Geneva Cutlery edge felt equally comfortable, but did not have as close a result. I suspected this was due to the steel not holding the edge well. Microscope analysis did show more edge wear on the Geneva Cutlery than expected.

Day 7 of the TSF domination era of March Madness. Round 6 had a suspicious spike in votes. Could the ballots be stuffed? Is cbubs colluding with the contest runners? Is TSF being treated unfairly by the lamestream media?
Chinese bots are outraged by certain TSF logos and names, and the latest congress of the CCP decided that this artisan cannot win MM.
