Lots of great food today, had fun.
Started the day getting ingredients for the family.
But relaxed afterwards and just figured out LDAP. I have figured it out in the past, but there are some changes with new distributions.
For example Rocky 8 does not have authconfig anymore.
Anyway, had a good dinner too, accomplished a lot with low stress.

Just installed the Amcrest 4K PoE Camera AI, product IP8M-T2669EW-AI. This is the best camera I have so far.
Not the fact that it is my only 4K, but the view outside at night is pretty stunning.
Being a 4K camera does have its disadvantages, one of them requiring more processing power, but this has some built in AI, and the FTP stuff does work.
Looking for a way to stream to an html page.

Starting to see some great deals. Got another AMD for a new machine.
Not sure what I am getting, I should take some time tomorrow to plan.
But looking at a nice weekend. May be spending more this year.

There were some 5TB drives on sale at costco. Looking to see if I can use them as backup stores.
But I am also looking at reducing my footprint, maybe by moving more stuff into virtual.
Right now I am busy doing an inventory of what I got and what I need.
This will be a next year project.

Getting too much complaints on the new firewall, so going to switch back to virtual
Really bummed out, but will see if it still happens.
By tomorrow’s post I should be back to virtual.
With that said, I may move a bunch if things back to virtual.

This was work, and I am hurting, not sure how I am going to feel tomorrow.
But I finally did 15k steps (in part of a park run 5k) and finished off RTC in the evening.
Feeling sore, also got 12 floors.
Another thing I got done was a way to quickly view the last 5 videos of each camera from my phone.
Leveraging FTP and a simple PHP script.

Helped son move today, rented a 10ft box truck.
I struggled to climb into the drivers seat, not sure why it was hard, my knees kind of weak, but I struggled to pull myself up as well.
Need to lose weight and get strong.

Since I have slowed my walking, I noticed I haven’t had any deep long sleep.
Been tired a lot, need to do more physical work.
Cloning drives still going, heading towards 48 hours and almost halfway there.
Anyway, hoping to sleep early.

Got about 120 vmdk files to backup, I started last night and I am not even a 3rd of the way there.
So will keep going, but it is frustrating.
A little tired today, need to get some sleep.

Just got a 12TB hard drive, more than enough to back up some VMs I have on a couple of datastores.
Wrote a script to copy the VMs from an ESXi host, I just tried and the disk seemed to disconnect.
Looks like this disk does not like fuser based file systems. Looks like I will have to format ext4.
Would be interesting to see how long it takes.
First need to reboot because the system got all hung up.
