Been in deepest, darkest Newport, S Wales for 8 days visiting my better half. She would probably agree that she’s the better half.

What did I miss?

Oh, and Happy New Year, everyone. 2019 got me what I’ve been wanting. If it didn’t for you, I hope 2020 does.

Arch Linux, on a Ryzen 7 1800X, 32 GB, 5 (yes -5) HDs inc 5 SSDs, 4 RPi 3Bs + 1 RPi 4B - one as an NFS server with two more drives, PiHole (shut yours), Plex server, cloud server, and other random Pi stuff. Nice CoolerMaster case, 2 x NV GTX 1070 8GB, and a whopping 32" AOC 1440P monitor.

Newport isn’t that dark!

Oh, it can be.

IIRC you like your booze, next time you’re there pop into Bwrw Cwrw in the Newport Arcade, lots of good stuff, some really expensive. While you’re there pop into Freestyle, the skateboard shop next door. My mate , the owner , is a one off .

Can get a new tattoo upstairs if you want.

Leanne has a favourite coffee shop in the arcade [EDIT: The one with the Bowie tributes all over the walls], so I guess I’ll get in there.

For beer, my Newport pub is McCanns (even have the T-Shirt), but then rock/biker pub has always been my style, and I’m practically a local there, now.
