Did 10k steps and 10+ floors today and my body does hurt.
TBF my body was hurting before because I spent a lot of the day yesterday in weird positions.
Speaking of which, I had to move the office around and reconfigured a few things. It does look a lot better.

Got a fourth rack in the house.
This is meant more as a shelf that has a PDU and the KVM.
What a pain moving that KVM was. Good news is I think I can get away with the cables I got. I may order one to replace the extension but if I am correct, somewhere in this house exists a required 10ft USBA to USB3 cable.
I have to call it quits for the night, I spent about 9 hours trying to set this up and recable.
Still a mess in the living room.

I was expecting a rack today so I could do some work over the weekend.
Went from this
To This
But this explains it
Ontrac not the greatest when you are expecting a package.
Yikes over 340, that is motivation to start losing weight.

Yes I know, I haven’t finished couple others.
This new one is a simple keypad and LCD display to enter in my weight, since I cannot figure out how the scale broadcasts the weight on it.
I did get parts for the other projects I am working on, ordered screws for the SMS Gateway and the RJ11 jacks did come in for the Lastman project.

I was born in the USA so I am a US Citizen, but today I helped a relative become a US Citizen.
What an interesting experience
We left my place at about 11:20AM for a 12:10 appointment. We were informed not to get there more than an 1/2 an hour before the appointment.
We got there and parking was interesting, there was a a kiosk to pay, but opted to use the mobile app. Parking was $8 but on the app it it was 8.50.
Security was like going through the airport, take off jacket and belt but everything in a bin and get it scanned.
Then you stand in a line and check in. Upstairs there is a waiting area, I can’t speak to what happens, cause I was not allowed to go in, but they went into a room when their number was called for an Interview. What was interesting was that the people next to us got there before us yet got called in after us.
Recall it was a 12:10 appointment, we missed the 1PM ceremony so we hung around till the 2:30 Swearing in ceremony. The waiting continued in the auditorium but we were doing stuff like swearing in and got the certificate by 3PM.
Treated them to a celebration late lunch.

Went through a lot of filament getting the right print.
Check this gridfinity lids I printed
This is the bottom of the lid, the first two on the left were printed upside down, but the 3rd one was using tree support. It made things way worse, settled on the last one, mild stringing but people will not see it.
Here is the top view, the first two show why I didnt go that route, it is ugly. The last one was the way to go.
Haven’t been sleeping right, did not sleep well at all today. Called in sick to work. Sleepy all day.

I am toying with the idea of going back to ambien. Been having a hard time to sleep.
Makes me very unproductive during the day.
I did a few things to keep me going though, tonight I am going to try and sleep early.
Another thing I been exploring was getting up minecraft servers again. I was able to get up a a new R9.5 based AMI on to AWS. That will be the basis of my minecraft servers.

Trying to figure out how to send SMS messages using mmcli and not being root.
I thought I had it and was ready. Here are my short notes
First you have to add the user to the dialout group
Then you have to create a polkit rule
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
if ((action.id == "org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.Control" || action.id == "org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.Messaging") &&
subject.isInGroup("dialout")) {
return polkit.Result.YES;
}
});Then reload polkit and you should be good.
Want to try this from a fresh non gui system. My change things.
