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…

So as alluded to in a previous post, I had a drive crash and it left me feeling a bit shaky about the other three drives that are in the array, one more goes and the system is gone. Not thrilled with the thought of that so I blew $320 and got 4 SATA Seagate…

Nothing to do with cars but I’ve got a failure on one of the drives that this site is on. It’s got 4 x 3TB SAS Western Digital drives hooked up to a Dell H310 PERC PCI controller in a Dell T30 server. So the T30 doesn’t come with a H310, not sure you can…

So in a previous post I mentioned that I’ve brought a couple of Linux workstations online. My old development box (quad core Intel i7 with 24Gb RAM and dual SSD drives) has been turned into a pretty slick Mint desktop. But I could only hook up 2 monitors, so I broke down and bought 4…

So I’m taking a class on Python, I’m actually super excited about this class and it’s been ages waiting to get the class. For those who don’t know Python is a scripting language that is growing exponentially in popularity. It’s amazing what you can do with it, the only downside to it is that it’s…
