Found a lovely family of geese tonight paddling around, snacking on the grasses. #OM1 #omsystemom1 #Wildlife #Nature #photography #Geese #BirdPhotography #OlympusPhotography #omsystem

Sure, I was stuck at work helping someone on my team with a network refresh gone wrong until after 1AM, but I was able to use some of the time get more than a dozen job applications submitted.

Maybe some good will come out of it…

@jimsalter I assume you already know this, but the PracticalZFS site is not working. I'm getting "Peer’s Certificate issuer is not recognized." on my end.

I don't think the issue is on my end, but happy to be educated 😀 It started happening for me yesterday and, since you have a day job, I figure you'll get it fixed when you can...

But, just in case you didn't know...

@jimsalter I’ve changed nothing here, but the site is loading fine again for me.

Long may it continue!

@Topslakr I filed false positive detection reports with several of the engines that randomly decided it was a phishing site. Netcraft was the only one to actually say "you're right, this was a bad flag, our bad" but I'm guessing three or four of them turned me loose, and that was enough for the rest to stop as well.

There's a point in here somewhere about consequences of feeding the output of score-based system A to the input of score-based system B, and B's output into A...

I can’t believe how inexpensive the Digidesign or AVID PRE units can be scooped up these days. 8 channels of great, clean, gain recallable and controlable from within Pro Tools for … ~$250? Yes, please!

I have a ‘blue face’ one already, and a ‘gray face’ one heading my way. I suspect they are litterally identical, but I’ll be cracking them open to compare.

Interfacing with AI hiring is so incredibly dehumanizing.

I’m just a guy enjoying the eclipse in the 95% area, but I couldn’t resist taking a few images myself 🥳

I used the Hi-Res mode on my OM Digital OM-1 to capture 80MP images with the 40-150mm f/2.8 lens, plus 1.4x Teleconverter taking me to an effective focal length of 420mm in ‘Full Frame' terms.

Picked up a Dell Wyse 5070, plus a Mini-PCIe 2.5Gb card to swap out my OpnSense router, which worked great. Runs like a dream.

So, I’ve ordered another one but in the ‘extended’ size which also takes a half-height PCIe card. I ordered a single 8GB RAM stick for it, to complement the 4GB it came with. Worked Great.

So, I ordered a single 16GB stick. I’ve read it CAN run 32GB of memory. We shall see!

Now, to pick what to load into that PCIe slot. I’d love an AI capable low-power graphics card..

What a wild day.

Posting here about KVM live migrations and working to explain to a(n excellent) junior admin how routers work, gateways, hops, and what ttl means in his ping and traces.

Then, just as I’m winding down, another junior admin mentioned he agreed to do a SQL DB Migration tonight for one of our clients. I’m sure that won’t end up on my plate in a few hours… 🫠

@Topslakr I'm bringing up some new servers soon. Will have to try that. So far I've been chicken.

Where do you have the VM storage? NFS? It needs to be at the same path on both hosts, right?

Topslakr,
@Topslakr@fosstodon.org avatar

@mike805 That’s part of my tests.

Both hosts, for the sake of the config file, need to have storage paths to the same place, but virsh/virt-manager/cockpit-machines can migrate machines on shared storage or, in fact, move the storage too.

So, a VM with its disks stored in ‘/VMs’ can be moved to a new host. If ‘/VMs’ is, for instance, an NFS share it’ll just move the VM. If it’s not shared storage, you get the option to move the disks too, provided you can create an identical disk path.

In lighter news, continues to bring me great photo options. Taken from my seat on the . Trains are great, and I am looking forward to more people taking a chance on rail travel here in the US.

I love it.i did a round rtrip Chicago-Tucson in 2022. Private room due to covid. I'd go rail all over the country if I could afford it.

I returned to work today, after an excellent week off, and was delighted that my team did very well while I was out.

Sadly, another team went out of their way to create issues that my team had to jump in and try to solve. They did great with them, but were a bit of out of their depth.

Today has been needlessly stressful and a number of clients are pretty annoyed.

Much as I’d love not to be bothered on vacation, a two minute call or a text could have saved a lot of strife for all involved.

The Downeaster is packed this morning! I’ve never seen it so full, and we grabbed one of the last parking spots too. It’s school vacation week, but there aren’t a lot of kids on board…
Train is nice and warm, clean and comfy though! 🚉

Gearing up for a couple train rides next week. We’re going to be traveling to Washington, DC for a few days.

I always queue up a pile of fun things to work on while riding the train and then find myself totally absorbed by the scenery rolling by instead…

Spent considerable time this AM wiring up some MIDI cables to my effects units, and learning about MIDI Beat Clock. Pretty neat to see the tempo change in the DAW and the delays change to match.

Love this stuff!
