Air quality is bad,
It is making my breathing bad.
On the IT front, I updated my build processes to Rocky 9.2 for both the server and MATE desktop builds.
So things are on hold a bit.
But I did figure out how to embed a binary file like a tar ball into a bash script to be reconstituted when run.

Got 12k steps and 10 floors today, but it also got a bunch of household chores done.
Got only 1 machine upgraded to Rocky 9 but I did clean the cars with a new pressure washer.
Kind of tired, got half my steps done at park run and met a sales person for brooks. She confirmed my hat is a brooks hat.

I got a few more machines to upgrade to Rocky 9. Focused on getting machines off of my old ESXi box so I can power it off.
On that ESXi host I have 8 machines left and the are all CentOS 7, no windows, no Rocky 8, all C7.
Forgot to mention yesterday my knee hurt walking, so taking some time to rest today.

First time I walked to get my steps in Bellevue. I was already apssed, around 6300 so I did not need more than half.
Was a nice walk, took it easy, but I did get some hills.
Need to work on a plan though.

Today I finally saw a bunch of coworkers at a company sponsored picnic.
It was too hot to do much of anything though. We kind of just chatted with each other.
Was fun.
I don’t believe the scale but it is what it is.

Donated some money to the Maui Relief fund. Other than here and the website, I need not mention I donated anything.
Hope more people can donate.

Summer days are here temps are easily in the 90s.
Been miserable at home. Gym was better, at least it had AC.
Got some VMs off of my old ESXi host. All the non-RPM based VMs are off.

I figured it out, how to install Unifi Controller on Rocky 9.
Going to post something better on my tech site but here is a summary
First install the legacy version of mongodb
wget https://fastdl.mongodb.org/linux/mongodb-linux-x86_64-3.4.24.tgz cd /usr/local tar zxvf ~/mongodb-linux-x86_64-3.4.24.tgz mv mongodb-linux-x86_64-3.4.24 mongodb
Then install some needed extras (not sure if needed but I installed them)
dnf -y install httpd mod_ssl java-1.8.0-openjdk
Next download and install unifi
cd wget https://www.ubnt.com/downloads/unifi/7.2.92/UniFi.unix.zip cd /opt unzip ~/UniFi.unix.zip useradd -r ubnt chown -R ubnt:ubnt UniFi cd /opt/UniFi/bin rm -f mongod ln -s /usr/local/mongodb/bin/mongod
Create a systemd startup file
sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/unifi.service<<EOF [Unit] Description=UniFi AP Web Controller After=syslog.target network.target [Service] Type=simple User=ubnt WorkingDirectory=/opt/UniFi ExecStart=/usr/bin/java -Xmx1024M -jar /opt/UniFi/lib/ace.jar start ExecStop=/usr/bin/java -jar /opt/UniFi/lib/ace.jar stop SuccessExitStatus=143 [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target EOF
Finally start it and open up a firewall port
systemctl daemon-reload systemctl start unifi firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=trusted --add-port=8443/tcp firewall-cmd --reload
Works for me.

Kind of sad, my old high school stomping ground has burned down. A lot of friends and relatives are affected.
I heard the school is OK, but Front Street is gone, there were burnt husks of cars all over.
Looks like thing started around 6:00 AM Tuesday, everyone is checking in on friends.
Hope they are ok.
Got my steps done early today on Lake Youngs, kind of nice, slept for a long time afterwards, I think from noon to 5PM.
Saw a deer real close.
This is my after walk weight.

Went to doctor today for breathing issues and found out there has been a drug shortage. I think since Covid lockdowns ended people have come back to whatever treatments they had going.
I am good though, apparently the inhaler I got is better than my previous one.
Am breathing better though.
