>web page with CANYON.MID available to play.

Best thing ever

Oh... doesn't hurt that the web page is about something I definitely should have bought back in the day (if it were available to me)

what a (thankfully planned, even if poorly) power cut looks like

yakkoj, 2 days ago to random

great... we wasted 3 hours of our life because someone slapped an ACL on interfaces that took 50 hosts down and BGP links and ISE and everything was shit on a shingle until that was discovered and removed

With gas prices the way they are in Australia (I saw signs that posted over $2 AU per litre), HOW is it possible that some people are running big US-type pickup trucks (at least they LOOK like porky F150s and Silverados)

By all measures, they should go bankrupt after one fill-up

finally migrated grafana DB to use mariadb.

Pro tip: if you're getting started with grafana, before you create ANYTHING, install mariadb, set up a grafana user, give it all privileges to the database you created, and set grafana to use "mysql" from the beginning. You'll avoid the random "database is locked" stuff that comes with sqlite3, and you won't have a TON of data you need to migrate like I did.

yep, I get the impression using the LDAP server Syno package is a Bad Idea (no way to set uid/gid, for one)

yakkoj, 3 days ago to random

should I go down the LDAP rabbit hole?

(I guess I know that I should NOT make my Synology NAS be the LDAP server, at least ;o)

It will solve the "I need to be uid 501" problem I got when distros started defaulting to 1000 (the default first uid was 501 in 1995 when I started) because I can force the uid and gid via LDAP I think

Kinda wish I'd have set the DS420 up as JBOD

But as I learned from the ZFS NAS, don't be too greedy with storage space. I'd have set the ZFS up as some mirrors like what SHR ends up being if you use the defaults.

On the DS-712, I used JBOD because any data I care about there will be stored in multiple locations anyway, so if a drive goes kablooie, no biggn

I have a special hatred for applications that rudely STEAL FOCUS when I'm typing in another application.

CUT IT OUT

>install flatpak of KeePassXC.

It's a small gripe I have with Flatpak. Other Flatpaks do this, too, but not all of them.

Rrrrgh Synology is at it again. All the files created via Shared Folder are mode 000 and I can't access shit from NFS unless I'm root (I refuse to map everyone to admin)

I got rid of the hardwire in my car for the dashcam

Of course, since it's in MY garage, nothing could just go smoothly. I needed to get a longer cable, then I discovered that the Aukey will think the FitDVR is a COMPUTER if the USB cable has all the pins, so I chopped data.

Then after getting the interior put back together, I had to scan the car for fault codes (because of COURSE; it's 57 computers on wheels!) and of course found some because I unplugged stuff.

After 12 years, I've pulled the Synology DS712+ out from active service.

It was Time Machine for most of that time. It's disks and data are going onto the DS420+

I'll put the smaller disks from the DS420+ into it and keep it around as a non-critical NAS device. Never could justify throwing away a thing that still works.

>EVs put massive dent in gas demand.

If this is true, GOOD

The stupid thing about EVs is that everyone wants to make EVs they can charge everyone $100k for. To loosely quote one of the rats in the Ford family, "Small cars make small profits."

And nothing China's threatening USDM with is going to be trusted.

GM had something with Bolt EV. I hope they still keep making it. It's something that might be affordable to more people than Tesla's stuff is.

using "git pull origin main || git pull origin master" to update git repos

There was a time in the furry community where one did not need to worry about this. I miss those times!

Rrrrgh that one fucked-up cable that has no business being fucked up will do you in

Stupid thing linked up at gig-E speed when I used the Fluke to test it (it even detected PoE!), but when I connected UniFi switch or EdgeRouter to it, it would REFUSE to negotiate to gig-E speed

I pulled out another cable that had no business being as good as this pre-made one, and the negotiation problems vanished.

So in the trash that cable went. I have no time to deal with that.

Wow I have TONS of room in my headliner for this hardwire elimination kit

It'll also eliminate the two biggest drawbacks of the hardwire I have now: 1) I have an adapter in the fusebox that can be kicked out (and already has once); 2) the wire from the fusebox to the headliner traverses the A-pillar, which has a risk of interfering with the air bag there (though I tried mitigating that when I installed it. Still a risk).

And oh... whoever implemented Cisco NX-OS's SNMP stack...

I HOPE THE CAT UPCHUCKS IN YOUR SOCK DRAWER

I spent an hour trying to work out why the god-damned thing was "wrong digest".

Changing username (with "username xxx" command) WILL change the credentials on SNMP (or add busted ones), so the only way I could get it to work was "no username xxx" and then "snmp-server user xxx" with all the correct auth and priv stuff that "username" wouldn't let me set.

Hmmmmm... maybe I should commit this to ROM (with changes to make it general: switch indexing to Y and use LDA ($06),Y to get at the data, increment the pointer instead so I can print more than 256...)

since I seem to be typing this in every time the board is initialized ;o)

TIL id Software is owned by MS.

More like "today I realized"

Are they going to be chewed up and spit out like what happened to Rare?

I pine for the good old days when I only hated MS because of shitty things they did with DOS and Windows, but not even I am daft enough to yell at cloud and curse Bill Gates (some people STILL do this in 2024! Gates is bad, but "2020s MS" isn't a thing we can pin on him.)

I wonder if there's anyone out there who has a Sun with NeWS running (probably also running SunOS)

another day at the "my local debian mirror is broken and won't repair" factory

Really... how do I PROPERLY mirror a Debian repo so it gets all updated metadata without me having to go through things with the "rm" daisy cutter
