Today I am once again taking lunch in Chez Hyundai…a Michelin rated establishment… at least the rear tires are.
Kind: Notes
short content: a post or status update with just plain content and typically without a title
Last week, I did a read through of the Queens Bus Redesign Proposal. Only 515 pages. It looks like there are some improvements, but still some issues. Now I’m watching YouTube commentators complain about how bad it is. These people didn’t clearly read closely before they recorded their takes.
Finished the NAS rebuild, took days of waiting, but this is only the first step. Going to do some cleanup, and testing, and upgrade the systems it backs up to using the drives next.
Tomorrow is World Backup Day, so I’m embarking on redoing my network attached storage and associated backup process. The long part is waiting and testing new hard drives. I have to, make another backup of the data locally, remove all the drives from the NAS, install the new SSD OS drive, and the bigger data drives, do a complete self test(which for a 10TB drive is about 16 hours). Then restore from the backup…test…if the restoration doesn’t work, remove the new drives and bring back the old 3TB drives and start all over again…I’ll be done by…sometime in April.
I’m off the coast of Cape Fear…. sounds more ominous than it is
Mechanical keyboard keys are looking junky. Switching to my backup keyboard and swapping the keycaps from ABS to PBT. Wondering if anyone has any advice.
Someone I know was watching Back to the Future. Asked them some trivia questions. I remember entirely too much about that movie.
Attending a lunchtime digital discussion on the #1 Train from the New York Transit Museum. Attendees from around the country.
Watching the New York Gilbert and Sullivan Players live stream of HMS Pinafore.
Been hanging around my grandparent’s apartment, where I’m visiting, setting up the infrastructure I had to move out of my parent’s apartment due renovation. Added some new tricks. Running a wireguard gateway off a travel router, and pumping my DVR back at home through it so I can watch TV. Relocated the weather station, offline since May as well, need to get the sensors back online as well.
Nothing like a midnight flight…
Going through my list of itineraries over the last decade to add limited records of where I’ve been to my site. I think I also have paper tickets and old boarding passes as well somewhere I can merge in. Right now, these are just simple posts with the location and the time keyed to the departure time of the flight.
Trying to prevent humidifier lung. Didn’t realize that I might be causing problems by not cleaning my humidifier often enough.
Just used a $25 travel router flashed with OpenWRT to create a permanent Wireguard gateway from my grandparent’s old apartment to my apartment so I can access my server. Usually I use site-to-site between routers, but their building contract doesn’t allow for using your own router.
My biggest problem in wanting to share trips is timing. I enjoy taking pictures on trips, but I don’t want to spend time while on the trip going through the steps of choosing what to upload and uploading them. But when I upload later, the time and location data isn’t aligned unless I do so automatically.
So, what I’d like is the ability to select from the photos and decide which ones to upload, and have my site take care of posting them, rather than a one-by-one flow. I can probably build a basic version of that into my site, but I’d prefer a mobile app(of course, I won’t be creating one).
