Shutting Down Another Box

Working on shutting down another physical box. Hopefully that is enough.

Although I did bring up another box, I am still running a deficit.

This is basically a P2V with some things disabled.

I cleaned my office, for my future self, this is a create monitor cleaning solution.

Endust for Electronics

I suspect this is one of those things that gets “improved” and will not have the same formula as older ones.

On the weightloss front, reset back to under 320.

Second New ESXi In Place

Got the new ESXi host in place, put a nested VM in there that can read the old drives. Looks like a total of 4 disks from the old setup.

Basically I have everything in place to work on the legacy stuff. I think next step is to bring this thing up to 256GB with a large 10TB SAS drive to migrate VMs over.

I should clean up my office though, need to focus on that for a bit.

Got an older Dymo Labelwriter 320 to print continuous receipt paper. Gonna use it for my personal notes and reminders.

Oh my cracked 320 the wrong way, got 2 days to get back under 320.

That Felt Good

Got my fitbit goals today. That was good, I feel good too. Actually walked outside, twice around RTC.

I had a list of things to do started on them but didn’t finish.

Got tomorrow, also there is a Seahawks game in Germany early tomorrow. Hoping it will be a win, gonna be a long wait till there is another game.

The game should end by 10AM, after that I can put other games on the background while I do work.

Just barely was under 320. Need to reverse this trend.

Transcoding A Lot of Files

Getting better at bash scripting, I want to take advantage of new things a learned in scripting.

Anyway, found some handy ffmpeg commands to compress plex TV records to mkv ones for better storage.

Taking advantage of my GTC1660 with its turing chip.

Election Day 2022

Today was General Election day for our country.

Did my civic duty and voted.

Not as exciting as a presidential election, but one hopes there was no Russian interference.

Anyway, not staying up for results like the last presidential election.

Need To Post Before 11PM

I have to get back in to the habit of posting before 11PM again.

Kind of sucks, but have to do it till March 12 which will be during Lent.

I get to reflect on a lot of changes till then.

Hopefully back to walking again. Knees are holding up, but still hurts.

Crazy Day At Pasco

Not sure if ever want to attempt that again, on the way to state XC the pass started to snow, and on the way back got caught up in two road closures of I90 and almost got hit by an aggressive driver.

Glad to be home.

For future reference, we left home at about 5:45AM and got there in time for an 11AM race. Even with the snow, taking breaks, and going easy.

Go home was an anomaly, left at 4PM and got home at 9, two independent accidents.

Tonight is daylight savings as we fall back I gain another hour of sleep.

I need it.
