I am toying with the idea of going back to ambien. Been having a hard time to sleep.
Makes me very unproductive during the day.
I did a few things to keep me going though, tonight I am going to try and sleep early.
Another thing I been exploring was getting up minecraft servers again. I was able to get up a a new R9.5 based AMI on to AWS. That will be the basis of my minecraft servers.

I got couple SMS modules coming in, the last of this project, I also I added two new phone lines on the tello system.

Trying to figure out how to send SMS messages using mmcli and not being root.
I thought I had it and was ready. Here are my short notes
First you have to add the user to the dialout group
Then you have to create a polkit rule
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
if ((action.id == "org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.Control" || action.id == "org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.Messaging") &&
subject.isInGroup("dialout")) {
return polkit.Result.YES;
}
});Then reload polkit and you should be good.
Want to try this from a fresh non gui system. My change things.

Was a 4 day week, got a lot done in a short time.
Looking at more WWLAN modules, went to RePC and there were none.
I found something but was told be them that it was mini PCI not M.2
Anyway, want to do some documentation this weekend on setting up an SMS gateway.

Ran out of filament again, so in the month of February 2025, I purchased more filament than I have since I got the ender 3.
Part of it is the AMS, another thing that that bambu just works.
Also it is so much easier to replace the filament in the bambu than in the Ender 3.
Technology has improved.
Been a busy day, one cool thing is I got my 10k steps. As I post it is at 11,000 and I do got 10 floors. First time this year.

I think I am finally understanding these used modules I have gotten.
These have prior settings in the module that needs to be erased.
This command showed a lot of the prior owners stuff.
qmicli -d /dev/cdc-wdm0 -p --wds-get-profile-list=3gppI think the fix is from here https://wirelessjoint.com/viewtopic.php?t=1269
In my case I stopped ModemManager
systemctl stop ModemManagerThen launched minicom
minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB2Then I ran the following
AT!ENTERCND="A710"
AT!RMARESET=1I waited then actually rebooted the whole machine, I think all I needed to do was reset the module.
When it came back up I went back in to minicom and ran
AT!ENTERCND="A710"
AT!SELRAT=06
AT!BAND=00
AT!RESETAll those profiles were gone
Also checked
AT!GSTATUS?And low and behold it was registered.
Started up ModemManager and I was golden
My day is not done, as I post it is 11:34PM, gonna do some pushups and situps, then head in to the office to run a multi hour job.

Kind of a nice thing, I cleared off enough space on my bench table to actually do work. Still working on clearing stuff off. I need to start planning the permanent organization of my workflow.
In addition to the gridfinity project, I printed some DeWalt Drill holders
This is just there start. Going to look at multiple ways to organize my things.

Before I can 5S or sigma six the garage, I need to get rid of stuff. Here is today’s donations
That artisan printer been here over a decade. The pressure washer at least a decade too. There is a Dell docking station that needs to go as well and finally, the oldest of the bunch is the Craftsman Light which was part of a kid of tools. I am pretty sure it has been in my home for two decades at least, back then Craftsman was still Good. I now have dewalt and ordered a light to replace the one I am donating. That way I am not using two different battery systems.
Pretty amazing how much space the garage has now. Still a lot more work to go, but it is going.
Weigh in was interesting today, in the morning I was actually 340.2, either gravity changed throughout the day or I lost weight.

I thought this three day weekend would be enough time to get my garage organized and the dining room area cleared.
Right now it is in doubt.
I did move some stuff around and it feel like there is space, but I just don’t see me being able to finish this weekend.

Over the past few days, I been printing out a bunch of various gridfinity containers.
I don’t know much about them, but I know I need to make a few so I can figure out what works for me.
Unfortunately, their website was flaky today, got some new ones done late.
