I got a chance to play with a Linux box an a fresh modern Laptop.
I normally would use Mate but due to the laptop being physical and not a VM, it does have horsepower to run Cinnamon.
MATE – It easier on the resources, smooth on the RDP session, simple.
CINNAMON – Really nice UI and features, doesn’t play well as a a VM.
I switched to Cinnamon and it looks really nice.
Got my steps done early, looking to relax the rest of the night.

Was going to say running, but even I don’t think the speed I was going was considered running.
I was on the treadmill at work for an hour, posting close to midnight cause I might not make it home in time to post before midnight.
Did do some work at home with Rocky 9 and Cinnamon, thinking of using that for my work laptop.
Anyway, if posting now, I will edit with weight.
Updated: Made it before midnight to add weight.

Kind of sucks, but T-Mobile removed the ability to use TOTP (Google Authenticator)
Kind of broke my use case for yubikey when checking my t-mobile account.
Got my steps done early, legs feel good.

Was fun day, needed that day off.
We had an awesome bar b que.
But barely got my steps done. It is 11:41PM as I post, just got home and barely finished my steps.
If I did not have to grill I would have been done sooner.
Still had fun, not quite the start of the Summer but close.

Felt some sort of illness today, body was all stiff like it was reacting to something.
I did get up early but took a long nap in the afternoon.
But now I am behind in my steps. It is past 9PM and I have not cracked 1000 yet on my steps.
Anyway headed to airport to walk. I have completed it in the past in under two hours, so we will see.
I did clean up my office a bit, still feels dirty, but need a break to get my steps.
Also I got lab server setup to test and document new builds of VM.

Did some parkrun (not the whole thing) today, but that freed up a bunch of my day.
After parkrun got family together with IHOP and Starbucks for a family brunch and we mapped out plans for the summer.
Afterwards, a bunch of us took a nap.
I got up later this afternoon and finally figured out how to get VMs and containers to coexist.
What a find, took days.

You can run VMs and containers at the same time but you cannot to bridging and macvlan at the same time.
I hope I am wrong.
So to explain a bit, if I want a VM to have its own IP address, I need to create a bridge tied to the ethernet port.
If I wanted a container with its own IP address, I need to create a macvlan tied to the ethernet port.
A solution may be a second ethernet port.
I dunno maybe.

Just got the bill for college, OMG it is crazy.
Anyway we will see what will happen.
Today got my steps in late, pretty tired and weak.

Got a refresh on my work computer, I had this one for years (before 2020), this is the Latitude 7280 which came out in 2017.
This is my windows box, but my linux laptop, trying to get more Linux virtualization. Got a machine built, but networking is an issue. Maybe I can figure out how to properly use it with a newer physical box vs a VM in a VM.
