The good news: I likely don't have a certain illness resulting from the SARS-COV-2 pathogen.

The bad news: I'm sick with something. I've always gotten a sort of cold around this time of year. As a very little kid, it got so bad I couldn't breathe, but it's better now. Still, not fun. Congestion never is.

 

In other news, I'm hoping to get a new case for my birthday. Still using the CM HAF-X, but I'm trying for something a little smaller that'll still fit my components (most notably the Noctua NH-D15 cooler). I'm going for a Corsair 200R.
While I'm cleaning up the hardware, I've decided to finally tidy up my mess of storage. I've currently got a little over 2 terabytes over 4 drives, and that's after having deleted several old folders full of junk and copies amounting to (I think) about a terabyte. I'm hoping to delete or move another 500gb or so if a few more folders are what I think. I mean, I did give fair warning it's a mess. Part of it is having to deal with data from an old desktop my family has had since I was about 10 or 12. That sort of data likely won't be critically important, but tons of memories. Over the last few years, I've copied most of it over to this computer, I think some things multiple times, and that accounts for most of the 500gb I hope to move and clean out. After all is said and done, I hope to have everything consolidated into one place with no copies on the same drive.

Fun stuff. The Alka-Seltzer plus is kicking in, so I'd better enjoy the few hours of the day I've got that won't be sniffling filled.

    Pro Tip: Back up those family photos on a external HDD/SSD or on Google photos or invest in a NAS. What ever it is that you'll choose to invest in it will be your time or money worth. Never ever have just one copy of an important document/file/photos and videos. Especially the later ones because those are irreplaceable memories.

     

    I've got my phone set up to always directly back every photo and video up to my Google Photos and to our NAS at home. That way I always have 3 copies of those photos and videos. Same for documents and files.
