Work Laptop Rebuilt

Posted on November 10, 2023 by larry

Day wasn’t that spectacular, I got some stuff done, but still spent the evening relaxing.

Still feel like I need some better sleep though.

I got my work laptop rebuilt from C7 to R9 MATE.

Encrypted the home disk, need that protected.

Holding Finances Together

Posted on November 9, 2023 by larry

Kind of in a slump financially, but it isn’t bad. I had to take money from savings in order to make ends meet.

With that said, I am actually not living paycheck to paycheck, its worrying that I had to dip into savings. My mid term plans forecasted this, but if I can keep expenses down for another 3 months it should turn favorable again.

It is what it is.

PLU College Visit

Posted on November 8, 2023 by larry

Took my youngest son to Pacific Lutheran University. I like how he was excited to go there. If he does go there, I hope he can take advantage of the contacts he will make.

I did get my steps done there and found a hill or two.

Before we left PLU I was done with my fitbit goals.

Kind of Lost

Posted on November 7, 2023 by larry

Been busy with work, but still have a lot of time on my hands. But to wet to walk.

Too tired to go to the gym. Burned out a bit on work and training.

Hoping tomorrow there is a break in my rut.

Another Brutal Day

Posted on November 6, 2023 by larry

Still feeling tired a lot, thought a decent night of sleep would make me feel better.

It did not, I still feel tired, like I need a nap again.

Gonna try and commit to an early sleep.

I think I need a good long 8 hours of sleep.

Weight is high, need to get walks in.

Daylight Fall Back 2023

Posted on November 5, 2023 by larry

I thought I would have a better sleep with an extra hour of sleep last night, but most of the day I was so tired.

I must remember to finish posting by 11PM instead of midnight.

Took a nap in the afternoon and felt better, but still wondering why I need so much sleep.

Got some more of my SSL network setup.

Been weighing in at a high stretch lately. Hoping it is temporary.

Visio And Web Pages

Posted on November 4, 2023 by larry

I knew this, but man I finally put it into practice.

Visio can create web pages of its drawings.

So I am now documenting my network, and creating web pages and linking objects to resources.

It makes things look pretty cool and more functional.

OK weight is high, but this not my AM weigh in, it was in the evening.

Another Biopsy

Posted on November 3, 2023 by larry

Didn’t mention it, kept it on the down low, but I had another biopsy, this time on my back.

I actually needed a driver to take me home.

When I got home I was so tired.

Gonna relax the rest of the night.

Setting Up SSL Presentation

Posted on November 2, 2023 by larry

Setting up the lab to do a presentation on SSL.

Just an opportunity to clean up one of my labs.

Did learn a few things though, figured out how to enable SSL in tomcat

For my future self

<Connector port="8443" protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol"
		   maxThreads="150" SSLEnabled="true"
		   maxParameterCount="1000"
		   scheme="https" secure="true"
		   keystoreFile="conf/server.pfx" keystorePass="abcd1234"
		   clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS"/>

Also had a problem with Windows 7, although I am not sure how many VMs I gonna build with 7 moving forward.

Still researching but a quick fix is to disable NLM and have guacamole use RDP Encryption.

Anyway, I think I am good for now, I am going to do OpnSense, Tomcat (guacamole), TrueNAS, and Apache.
