Purchased some items for Black Friday and starting to do my 2024 goals.
One of the things I am starting to purchase are pieces for my new 2024 zoneminder.
Also getting pieces to put my backup server into a 4U case.
Playing with some other things like a new drive.

Had a decent Thanksgiving this year
Not faces (recall my posts rarely included faces as individuals or in small groups) But wanted to post food we have.
One thing to note is our house is extremely dusty. Pet dander in hidden crevasses.
House feels easier to breath in now. And a simple cleaning made it look great.

I created myself an account on Red Hat in the Developer Network.
I am going to try and install RHEL 9 and see how it works out for me.
Gonna see what it takes.

So last night I decided to patch my LDAP servers, big mistake, these two XKCD cartoons really define what happened
So it was supposed to be a quick patch, because I was already at R9.3
But ldap didn’t start, and I decided to do all three without validation.
Nagios alerted me to failed LDAP
When I booted it up there was this message in the logs
You have upgraded your openldap-servers package. There are actions that need to be performed. Please, read the /usr/share/openldap-servers/UPGRADE_INSTRUCTIONS file
I tried various things, restore ldap database, no go.
Instructions were unclear. But I found a site that said to use rpm to erase then reinstall with dnf. https://www.melberi.com/linuxadmin/ldap/ldap-not-starting
So I did that and got it to restart, but I could not log via one of the clients.
Unbeknownst to me, the client was using an old cert. So it was throwing TLS errors.
I tried a new machine and it worked.
Slept late so I am tired.

Felt like I just got 9.3 installed, I was able to patch all my production instances to 9.3 but I noticed it started slowing down.
I have a dev box and was doing some testing and I noticed things were so slow.
What sucks was I patched all my boxes on Saturday. Although I was surprised I was quick enough to get some patches done.
I was wondering why my Rocky 9.2 boxes that had weird kernel modules (for an HBA) were not patching. I now know.

I finally got to sorting my emails. Had over 2 thousand couple days ago.
Anyway today, something got corrupt, and I ended up having to redo my mail profile.
It was frustrating, but one of the problems was I disconnected imap and it was not done copying my emails.
So the local ost file got corrupt. I am going to clean up some things and maybe even delete some rules.
End of year is here and I will need to archive mail soon.
Office looking nice and organized, living room looks OK, but I think a good reorg will make it functional.
Seahawks lost today, there was one play where the Rams had a PI called against us. I did not see any penalty.
Made me sick to watch.

Wearing sweatpants and under a blanket and it is still cold.
