And here’s the show:

One of the goals for 2024 was that I would implement an archive of past shows, which I now have more or less completed.

I have completed the following steps:

• Obtained a Raspberry Pi 5.0
• Installed Raspbian on an SD card
• Installed Apache2
• Uploaded show archives
• Copied the archives to an SD card
• Added a switch and a DMZ to my network

As a result, the show archives are here. Click here to find the three shows hosted by yours truly. There are gaps in the archive. I should fill in these gaps by the end of the month. I have also uploaded some other shows to the archive (e.g. Venison Stew, hosted by the late, lamented Venison, and Allan Weiner Worldwide).
