Sleep 0315 to 1230. (9-1/4 hours)

• D&D #1. Character generation then an encounter with two bugbears. The session went well and I'm pretty excited about the campaign.

Sleep 0545 to 1215. 45 min nap. (7-1/4 hours)

• Sacramento Kings finish the season at 48-34, 3rd seed in the Western Conference.

Sleep 0500 to 1045. 1330 to 1530. (7-3/4 hours)

• Picked up mom and dad from SFO and drove them home.
• Was trying to route through Golden Gate Bridge and skirt around San Pablo Bay but when I tried to set a waypoint and start the trip it gave me waypoint directions instead of real time.
• We wanted late dinner at Nathan's but they close at 2030 so we got takeout from Joy City. Was just fine.

Sleep 2345 to 0445. 1500 to 1600. (5 hours)

• Left before lunch and drove back home.
• I tried setting up Wiki.js http to https redirection. There is a place to set your base url and a place to toggle redirection and it knows its http and https ports. Yet it refuses to redirect to https custom port and just redirects to standard https port which hits my main site and gets 404 error. I know that the installation instructions say to setup Wiki.js on its own subdomain (e.g. wiki.domain.com) so I guess it makes assumption that the subdomain http/https ports belong to Wiki.js instance.
• Option 1: Set up wiki subdomain. Set up Apache to redirect wiki.domain.com requests to corresponding Wiki.js http/https ports. Would need separate ssl certificate.
• Option 2: Don't worry about it. http requests will usually fail redirection. My main web site links to Wiki.js https port anyways.
• Guess I'll leave it at 2 since I don't want a second ssl cert.

Sleep 0300 to 1200. (9 hours)

• Dinner at C3's. Thai food. Cthulhu game we were doing fairly badly but managed to finished the scenario with best ending.

Sleep 0330 to 1145. (8-1/4 hours)

• Spent a couple of days figuring out and trying to setup OpenVPN but it's a bit beyond me. OpenVPN Access (an admin for OpenVPN) is supposed to be much easier for one-click setup but no macOS version.
• macOS Server VPN setup was pretty easy though still needed a tutorial. But it was discontinued last year and later versions didn't have VPN Server anyways.
• Finding VPN Servers is hard because so many hits are for client-only solutions. I want to VPN to my home network (not just remote control my home server but having my remote laptop be on the home network as a full computer) which is a somewhat unusual use case.
• Was also thinking of some old solutions like Slink or ShareTool which I think were both Bonjour packet forwarders of some sort. In any case slinkware.com is a generic holding site now and yazsoft.com now only sells a video downloader app.
• In any case, rarely used the VPN (only for either updating web site files or if I was paranoid for a secure connection from a random WiFi hotspot, though more often would connect to work VPN for that).

Sleep 0430 to 1030. (6 hours)

• Got my D&D podcast feed working hosted on the Wiki (basically means putting the raw files in assets catalog and you can use direct urls to get the assets). The hard part was creating the rss file and eventually I copied one that works for one of my iWeb created podcast feeds and then changed the details. And then a bit figuring out why Apple Podcasts didn't read it -- because I had ampersand sign "D&D" instead of "D&D".
• Sonic raised their price from $50 to $60 effective 2023-03-15. Guess we'll see when they raise prices next.
