30 hours later into rebuilding a Bitcoin node and I've synced just over 660,000 blocks. Syncing the Blockchain really comes to a crawl in the 600,000's. Those last ~300,000 blocks are going to take awhile.

I finally got around to checking out @Zapstore after hearing @ODELL hype it up multiple times. I've been missing out. It may not have everything, but it has a lot of the essentials. It would be nice if GrapheneOS could integrate it into their OS. I feel like less people would feel like they need to install Google Play.
Forgot to the post the season ending race for the F1 Casuals sim racing league. We ran the Abu Dhabi GP at the Yas Marina circuit with rFactor 2 Formula Pro. I went into the race with the championship lead. A first place would seal the deal for me. Thanks to Studio 397 for developing such a great racing simulator. #SimRacing #F1C #F1
My second attempt at the go-karts in rFactor 2 at the Quebec track. It went a lot better than Race 1. The AI opponents got a little confused late in the race and it made for an interesting entry to Turn 1.
Trying out the Studio 397 go-karts at the Quebec bridge track in rFactor 2. I had no idea what I was doing at the start. I thought the game was confused to so I exited the pit just to end up missing the start. It was fun try to catch back up to the pack.
Running a 2006 GT500 Supra around Nürburgring Nordschleife. These cars are crazy fun to drive in rFactor 2. The noise is brilliant and grip will surprise you. Unfortunately, I caught a bad bump right at the end of my lap that sent me into the wall.
