Sitting in the parking lot at work eating lunch… someone is flying a kite for some reason.
Kind: Notes
short content: a post or status update with just plain content and typically without a title
Watching the New York Gilbert and Sullivan Players virtual gala of Pirates of Penzance. Enjoying the performance and the live chat with other enthusiasts from around the word and some of the company. Debating if YouTube’s transcript feature can handle a patter song.
Just finished another element of my backup upgrade. I have a NextCloud instance that syncs my active working files to my NAS box. Along with my other backup files stored there, they are backed up over the internet to two separate NAS boxes at the homes of various relations. Each NAS has redundant drives.
Decided to do a run through the projects I maintain, mostly WordPress plugins, and see if I can do some bug fixes and tweaks before tackling something larger. It’s a bit late for spring cleaning, but…
Today I am once again taking lunch in Chez Hyundai…a Michelin rated establishment… at least the rear tires are.
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…
