DONE!.
Big task off my plate
Need to add a bit of telemetry monitoring and backups as well. But it seems to be ok.
Today was a nice day, stuck inside getting FW done but it is DONE
This other shot was from yesterday, I have already posted but it is what I want, nice summer evenings with a heater on the deck.
Calling it good for the day. Tomorrow a bit of clean up and Fedora work.

Mostly work free day, I did watch my daughter run some hot dog 5k and my son hit the gym to try and PR a bench.
Got home and was lazy pretty much for most of the day.
Got my mile in before Bar B Que dinner, and will eat after this post. Hope I don’t gain too much.
Will be testing the deck heater tonight when it gets cooler, but it was a nice nice day.
Tomorrow and Monday will be work, got that firewall upgrade.
I intend to get a great nights sleep.

Weekend starting off right, I came home late and didn’t have much sleep, but I got up early, knocked out finance Friday and got all my gym and walk done before noon.
Got a lot of errands done by 2PM as well. But I hit a wall after that. Took a nap that lasted couple hours.
Not done though, cleaned up the living room. Looks fine, just a few more tweaks.
Resting tomorrow, just doing a walk. Need the recovery.

Pulling the trigger on a Linux Laptop with Fedora on it. This will be my main travel laptop.
I will put a Windows VM on it, but I want to be able to run everything on it.
Will have 3 ways to log in, ssh, openvpn and wireguard. On top of that it will have access to the travel router.
Looked into full disk encryption as well, also looking at logging in without a password. Will definitely leverage yubikey.
This is a 4 day weekend, I am planning on doing a lot of the weekend work tomorrow, clearing off my plate as much as possible.
Saturday will be a bar b que and watching my daughter do a 5k.
Sunday I will reserve to migrate off of pfsense and on to opnsense. That will be the bulk of Sunday.
Monday I hope to have the new laptop and be able to do this travel laptop.

I was finally able to kickstart Fedora because I put the entire repo on a 500GB drive.
This provides me with the flexibility to install whatever I want. Fun stuff.
Had a good workout today, felt strong running. Did well. I will admit, I was worried I would struggle.

My first step to get an automated install of Fedora was through PXE boot. It works for the most part, normal like others.
Now I am trying to build a custom USB, then will work on a custom iso last.
Kind of a long day, had to work late. Short week.

I need a break, and it is coming, this weekend is another 4 day weekend with a bit of a twist. I am not running a 5k on July 4th. Parkrun will not be holding an event, there is a hot dog run but I was too late to sign up for it. I need the rest anyway.
Also this weekend is the weekend I convert my firewall from pfsense to opnsense.

Had another power outage, and I am in of a couple things that made this power outage frustrating.
First off, I am in between firewall moves, so my firewall was virtualized and not set to auto start.
Another frustrating thing was that I was close to finishing a hard drive burn in.
Was a short weekend for me so having my day interrupted to do the generator was… actually that was kind of fun.
Mental note, dont forget to choke the generator before trying to power it on, and if you flood it, wait. Not sure of this is true for a propane tank but it did work.
Also it was too dark to make it worthwhile to set up the solar panels.
Finally there was a road blockage that directed traffic closer to my home.
Another thing was that one of the battery banks was not charged. That was frustrating.
One silver lining was my wife and I did not want to stay home in the dark so we went to the casino buffet at Snoqualmie. Got a free coupon. Funny thing was that the zepbound did beat my urge to eat.
It is a good thing.

Finally got a kickstart for Fedora 44 making rebuilds easy. A few weird quirks but looks to be ok for now. I downloaded the entire 44 x86_64 repo locally for a reboot.
Also PR’d again on the parkrun
Wow did I feel good, in a PR mood.
Also the biggest news, wife is back, everything back together.

My wife returns form overseas tomorrow. Less than 24 hours from now we will be reunited.
I do have bit more cleaning to do, but what I have done so far was significant.
Will do the final bedroom cleaning and tomorrow will work on living room and laundry.
Had a really good workout today, run was ok, but overall felt strong.
