We're back!

Sorry about the downtime. I updated PieFed to v1.6.12 and the front end never came back. In the end, the action of removing and re-creating the Docker network bridge changed the internal IP that nginx forwards to. So, I updated the Nginx config and everything is fine now.

I do know a better way to handle this which handles changes automatically, but for some reason I didn't have it set up that way. I'll look into that today.

Obviously this is all @djundjila@wetshav.ing's fault, because he's the most recent person to sign up!

I think I've tried a fancy/sparkly Wolfman once or twice, but the Guerilla is much more my speed. Still very high machining tolerances but you don't have to look at yourself in the mirror finish!

[–] gcgallant@wetshav.ing 5 points 3 weeks ago

One of the many advantages of old age is that you can’t see your reflection at close viewing distance. Thus, I can get away with the extra bling of the mirror finish.

March 15, 2026 -- March Madness

  • Brush: Wolfman WRB2 Bronze w/AP Shave Co MiG 26mm Premium Hybrid
  • Razor: Wolfman Razors WR2/WRH2
  • Blade: AccuTec AccuForge (4)
  • Lather: Summer Break Soaps - Steady - Soap

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


This shave was a bit of a nod to u/VisceralWatch who uses his Wolfman WR2 the way it is supposed to be used.
