Posted on July 18, 2026 by larry

I was replacing storage on a linux RAID, I was going to resilver my disks and go from 4TB to 8TB.

Disaster hit though and a ran the wrong command and zerod out a drive.

Luckily this is RAID but I was in degraded mode.

Adding disk back, going to take couple hours but it she be done by tomorrow morning.

Another PR for parkrun

Time: 51.05

A fellow runner, Crystal helped keep me going. I was still slow though, she kept up with her dog.

Small Paradigm Shift

Posted on July 17, 2026 by larry

I am going to focus a bit on intake, maybe for the next 2 months. That would put me at the end of summer.

Was hoping to be under 305 by then.

What I am doing is watching intake more. Also boosting my protein and creatine intake.

I think I got a 1 month supply, we will see.

Continue With Fedora Build

Posted on July 16, 2026 by larry

Found out something new about my wifi, the default is to rotate the MAC, I needed it the same so I chose permanent which used the hardware wifi.

Also got wireguard working. Looks like there are two ways, wg-quick and network manager.

If you go the wg-quick way you can import the config to network manager so that was pretty slick.

Still got a bunch more things to do though.

Raw Dog a long run

Posted on July 15, 2026 by larry

Brutal boring run, but I got through it.

Basically I didn’t have my headphones, thought I lost them. Time for new ones anyway so I found two to try. Of course when I got home I found it.

It was 60 minutes of boring but a strong run, I probably could have pushed for more.

Maybe It Is The Intake

Posted on July 14, 2026 by larry

Today I went in to the office again, had a small lunch, and took the opportunity to hit the gym and try again, didn’t do much, but I did hit the treadmill and do some weights.

After I got home wife and I made our way to the park and did some walking there too.

When I got home I hit a new low (since tracking on the database)

But I think the key was a light lunch. Had a salad for lunch.

Perseverance Paid Off

Posted on July 13, 2026 by larry

I had a bad run on the treadmill today, maybe because it is a different gym, I went to the one at work rather than the Y.

Then I tried to do some weights, pushed too hard and cramped.

Finally as a way to earn some points back, I went on a 2 mile walk rather than a 1 mile.

Rocked it, felt good during the walk.

PR Tied today

Posted on July 11, 2026 by larry

I did not PR today, but was so close. I basically tied my last one.

Daughter said I was moving, felt like it.

After that I did a bunch of errands, got a LOT done.

Went to Harbor Freight today and they have these grates which unlock a fear in me. I fear I will drop my phone in them.

But one of the things I got was a refurbed router I flashed with DDWRT

Guest Wifi Netgear R6400

One task today was to get this, another task was to flash it to ddwrt. Mission accomplished.

I accomplished all I set out to do today. A PR would have been nice but I tied it, so there is that.

Hoping to sleep really well tonight.

Really Bad Sleep

Posted on July 10, 2026 by larry

I just could not get to sleep last night. I went to bed at 6AM, I super exhausted. Took a 2 hour power nap and was able to finish the rest of the day.

This evening I was able to work out and get my goals done, I am expecting a crash this weekend.

Most of my physical tasks are for tomorrow. So if I can power through tomorrow, get my tasks done, I can wake up late Sunday and just chill with desktop stuff.

On of those things is testing my Fedora builds. The seem to be working.

Also having fun with LUKS, TPM and Yubikey. Those combine should provide for a secure system.
