My doctor usually prescribes Oxycodone when I have a stone/stones, but I'm just not an opiate guy. It makes me feel more sweaty and nauseous and despair. There is a prescription NSAID called Ketorlac that works much better for this kind of thing in my opinion. One of the effects of long term use is kidney damage, so you need to take enough but not too much for too long. FYI if you're looking for something to think about next time you get one.

I also found a wireless TENS unit called a Hollywog that just sticks to your back. It's a little plate and doesn't have any external wires. It hangs on by the electrode pads and you control it with a phone app over Bluetooth. This thing is great to use while your back is winding and wringing and you are stuck in a reloading agony loop. It kind of helps make it possible to focus on something for a minute without being distracted by the pain.

We really like Sky Valley too.

I've been pretty happy with Gitea for small projects. I had to learn how to use it for because a client was already using it and wanted to upgrade to a more recent version. I was brought in just to make sure that it would work without introducing disaster, and that was my introduction to it. It's nearly completely brainless to run as a docker container and it seems to work just fine.

I am working on getting my XBox controller to work with a Raspberry Pi/Astroberry setup to control my telescope.
