The Grand Seiko Snowflake One of my ideal watches to have would look be like a Grand Seiko Snowflake. The sweeping movement of Seiko’s Spring Drive, the snow-esque dial, dauphine hands, and the blued seconds hand look amazing to me. But since it will never be worth it for me to spend 50k SEK on a watch, I will have to find a cheaper alternative. Luckily, there are a lot of quite similar watches available....

Current issues Router (which also is modem and access-point) is not wall-mountable and is currently placed in an awkward position. Switch does not support link aggregation (IEEE 802.3ad), which my storage supports. Current plans I have no real need for a new router, as I can just as well run pfsense on a KVM instead....
