Flying Out

Posted on October 2, 2025 by larry

Headed to Maui now, doing a quick post incase I cannot edit later.

Dunno why but flying seems too much of a burden. Someday hope it will be fun again.

Losing weight may help.

Yes, Good Milestone Reached

Posted on October 1, 2025 by larry

Didn’t think it was gonna make it today, wasn’t really paying attention. Then lo and behold, after a hard swim and some time in the jacuzzi, I hit the lowest weight since I been tracking in the database.

It will be a while before I beat the 243.0 weight in August 2010, on this blog, but it was a happy surprise.

As I post, I still have not packed, still got a lot to go. A lot to do. Still haven’t showered or eaten dinner.

Did find out that tailscale does expire, and I need a contingency for remote access.

But here it is, I gonna mark this as a milestone just once, cause the real prize is to beat 243.0.

WPA2 Enterprise

Posted on September 29, 2025 by larry

I dropped off my son to his dorm last night, at the same time I deployed a small server stack for his use.

One of the challenges in the past was getting connected to wifi. The Wifi used WPA2 enterprise. But I figured it out, documentation provided by the school was good.

It is eduroam used but other schools as well

Now I have an offsite server.

My Brother label printer came in too, pretty cheap but no power supply. Works though.

Three days in a row, also lowest weight of the year. Two more pounds and it will be the lowest since I started tracking weight in a database.

Wireguard Believer

Posted on September 28, 2025 by larry

Wow, that was easy, no certs to track too. The only thing is if a key gets compromised you dont know when it expires.

I am going to start moving all my stuff to wireguard now.

Kind of chill day, got a lot done.

Looks like second day in a row I am under 330, will it be official?

Organizing Stuff

Posted on September 27, 2025 by larry

Moving some systems around to get a bit organized on the network front. I moved my first server from a think client to a mini PC, running some tests but it feels like a non event.

Going from ESXi VM to QEMU KVM that is another challenge.

I also started researching getting into wireguard,, had to pause because garage reorg was more important.

Hopefully I will get more done tomorrow.

Improved Treadmill Run

Posted on September 26, 2025 by larry

Don’t recall the last time I was on a treadmill, but today I think I did better than the past few times. OK, I looked up, it was July 7. Looks like I ran 1.57 miles in a 30 minute run plus a 5 minute cool down.

Today I got it to 1.71 miles in the same amount of time. I recall I was running 3.1 MPH for most of the run.

Was a good run.

Seahawks Win In A Thiller

Posted on September 25, 2025 by larry

Thursday night football and the Seahawks played against division rival Cardinals, and Seahawks won. Away game in Arizona where bad things have happened to the Seahawks in the past so a good win.

One thing nice was being able to walk and listen to the game. So no Sunday game.

Tomorrow, I am not going to swim, I want to hit the treadmill and see how things go.

Relatively busy at work today, tomorrow we will be short staffed, so on the eye out.

Trying Out OpnSense Firewall

Posted on September 24, 2025 by larry

We will see how it goes, still configuring, a lot of new today.

Another change happening really soon is moving to wireguard, already implemented tailscale.

Finally, got new glasses, still in the container, I tried on my spares from 2023 and they are clear.

Probably not swimming Friday, I am doing an on call for someone else and dont want to risk it. Besides, I want to see how the treadmill goes, I feel like swimming is better.

Also, back under 330
