Weekend ToDo

Posted on June 17, 2025 by larry

Interesting that I have 4 days off to do stuff. I want to do a youtube video and redo my office server rack.

Ordering some parts now so I am committed.

Combine that with a new Thinkpad notebook and my weekend is filling up.

Today I also found out my IP was blacklisted, first time. I had problems going to godaddy.

It was weird, it was blocked for any Windows machine (10 or 11) using Chrome or Edge, but using firefox or Linux with Chrome worked.

After a few hours it cleared up.

Found a site that said my IP was hosting bots and stuff https://www.ipqualityscore.com/

Finally another thing I did was convert all my R9 boxes to use postfix.

Did get my fitbit walk in, so far staying on schedule.

Father’s Day 2025

Posted on June 15, 2025 by larry

Another Father’s day, normal Sunday though where I rest, but did a bit more than usual. Kids were all here, was kind of nice for a bar b que.

Posting late because I was speaking to one of my kids about growing up. Interesting reflection, I think I raised them right and did good. We didn’t have a bad house, but I don’t think I had to say “no” to anything they needed growing up.

They got me a hammock. Will set that up. expecting rain though.

I did upgrade one of my last machines from Rocky 8 to Rocky 9 and added a hard drive to sync up the Rocky 8, 9, and 10 repo I am committing to.

Also troubleshoot some weird Western digital drive issues. Looks power supply related.

Another Week Down

Posted on June 14, 2025 by larry

End of another week. Felt like I was busy but I know I was not.

Today I stayed in bed for the most part.

I did get up and get my 10k steps, but really didn’t want to venture out to the craziness of an anti-ice rally and traffic being bypassed into my area.

I did get a nice surprise, hard drives for my repo project arrived. I can now proceed with a hardware based R8, R9, and R10 repo.

After I post I am going to administer my zepbound shot.

Sore Feet On Bike

Posted on June 13, 2025 by larry

Tried getting a workout on the bike today, I only could do 15 minutes. My right foot arch started to ache. I did switch to the treadmill for an entire 30 minutes, so I got more calories than the usual workout.

Local repos do make things faster, but more importantly I can lock in the repo for a certain revision to make my builds consistent.

Worried about tomorrow, first off there is going to be some anti-ice rally about a 2 mile drive away. It physically will be about a mile away so we may hear it.

To top it off I-405 N is blocked off. Gonna be a painful weekend here.

Testing R10 builds

Posted on June 12, 2025 by larry

I admit I am getting ahead of myself, but I am testing out some initial Rocky 10 builds.

Couple things I noticed

  • sendmail gone
  • nscd gone
  • Nagios (and NRPE agent) gone
  • mlocate gone

Still way to early and there is a lot of testing to be done. With that said, I am going to pivot to Rocky 9.6 over the weekend.

Got my steps easily done today.

Rocky 10 Out

Posted on June 11, 2025 by larry

Moving stuff around on my network to support Rocky 10, so far it is clocking in at 400GB. WOW.

Add to that some third party repos I want to support, and it was clear I needed more hard drive space.

Ordered another 20TB of RAW space, should be here next week.

Hit the gym today, starting to push, and sweat a little. Need to push harder and sweat a lot.

Body Hurts After 10k steps

Posted on June 10, 2025 by larry

So sore today, just did the fitbit goals today of 10k steps and 10 floors.

I thought I was gonna be OK, I got through 6500 steps and was feeling good.

Then I went to do an errand, and got home at 8000 steps, not much more eh. Boy that last 2k was hard. Maybe I was just tired and it all caught up to me.

All I can say is that since I started this Zepbound journey 2 weeks ago I lost only 5lbs.

That is not much, consider this, this morning I weighed in at 346.6, the walk had me lost over 1.5 lbs.

Granted could be water, but I thought I would at least crack 345 today. Oh so close though, maybe tomorrow.

Giving Up On Roboform

Posted on June 9, 2025 by larry

I am about to export it to a vault and call it good. Moving on to KeePass which I got working in Windows, Linux (via Wine), android and iphone.

Speaking of mobile phone, went to gym and for got mine, but I pushed through. Did the elliptical for 30 min + 5 min cool down, I burned over 300 calories and went over 2 miles.

I started with an incline of 10 and a speed of 2, but I couldn’t hold it. Dropped to 2/2 halfway through.

Couple good things happened, I did sweat, my hands didn’t become swollen, and I finished with a decent weight.

Incomplete Weekend

Posted on June 8, 2025 by larry

I did get a tremendous amount to this weekend, but unfortunately need some core things.

I wanted to establish a schedule and plan for the next few weeks.

For one thing it was too hot. Kind of just lounged around when we were done with errands.

I did get the offline repo done. Poorly documented though.
