The older I get the less I need to keep up with the latest and greatest. This does however lead to a confluence where I sometimes get my tech upgraded all at once. This is happening with my phone and watch within the next week. My watch was bought in September 2020 when we went…

I run a development desktop with 6 monitors, a RHEL server, a desktop Mint with 4 monitors, and a Synology NAS and they are all tied together with a 16-port gig switch. I bought a UPS several years ago and hooked everything up to it. Needless to say the batteries are long since passed and…

I have always been interested in the last meal protocol for death row inmates. To pick a last meal knowing it will be the last food you ever have before death has to be a hard choice. So when I do run across this in the media I like to document it and with that,…

We’ve discovered that you can, by following some really archaic directions, use R in Jupyter Notebooks. So the next step of my educational journey seems to consist of the R programming language which is done (not surprisingly) in R-Studio. As I work through the micro degree on my way to the full size one, I’m…

So for whatever reason, I didn’t remember Google’s DNS addresses right and I set them up wrong on the actual server. Once the server was reliably able to communicate properly with DNS we seem to be golden and everything is working the way it should and is pretty fast. So I guess I can start…

I believe I’m happy to announce that all services are back including asberry.org photos and news feeds. Now that we have that taken care of, we’re moving on to putting the mail connection stuff into a database, not sure which one yet but I’ll figure it out. Then it’s desperate that we figure out the…

I’m still sometimes baffled about what I can do when I set my mind to it. The email server is back up and running as well as it was before. Oddly enough this was fixed basically by overwriting what was already there from a default install with backups. I used Meld on my Mint desktop…

Well I did get the server RAM upgraded to 64GB and I’ve seen some impressive speed increases when it comes to Cockpit but that’s about it, I’m still seeing some major lag on the WordPress sites. I’ll need to figure out what is going to with WordPress and I still need to get email up…

I’m all by myself this weekend, that’s a good thing, gives me a chance to just chill by myself and geek out. I got the 64 GB of ram for my T30 server and it works!!! Still didn’t speed up my word press instances but quadrupling the ram is never a bad thing. This will…

The computer updates have started. The new goal is going to move the current physical instance of my Linux server into a VirtualBox VM that will host everything until I can bring up RHEL on the new server hard drives and have it pick up things like web hosting and email. Once that’s complete I’ll…
