Oh cool you will be at your dads then?
Yeah.
Pfft dads are stupid.
Oh crap, I'm a dad!

@BRRABill I sure hope so. This is going to push this project back at least a 1 or 2.

I'm livid at the moment and in complete disbelief that I have to explain the difference between scheduled down time, and downtime.
How one is "you plan for it to take X long, if it's shorter great. If the full length no one gives a crap."
The other is "our systems are down at unplanned time, fix it quickly"

Why livid? did the MSP not understand this or your boss?

The latter, and the latter would like to do our migration on a Saturday night between 10PM and 6AM.
Which I'm not paid nearly enough to deal with that crap.

Just got a mail today where they ask if I would like to review HPE’s HC380 from some well-known orange themed website. Am I really supposed to risk a bad back from unpacking and lifting servers for just 50 bucks?

Rename them "maintenance window" and "outage."

I've got a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X to set up for @SonshineAcres tonight.
-
New ML ads are up. Bottom ad rotates now as well.
-
Wow, France is pwning the Germans...
-
Got the new router up and running and it is quite the improvement.

Not a problem at all. Will be much quieter here, no more fireworks, no more honking car parades, lesser drunks on the streets...
-
Okay people, it is 3am here and I am heading to bed. See y'all tomorrow.
-
@scottalanmiller good night, I'm en route to work right now (8:47am)
-
It's 8:30AM EST... Dull and early for me. Nothing bright in this boy until at least lunch time.
-
It is a dreary but hot and muggy day in NY too.

And another micro SD card (in a RPi3) is going the way of all mortal beings... :cross:
Began with some cryptic error from dpkg which turned out to be a filesystem warning (structure needs cleaning), did an fsck and now the card is dead. Still booting up to some point until it starts to complain about bad ELF headers
SD cards for operating systems are such a bad idea... I'm thinking about just using cheap SD cards in the future which will hold /boot, everything else will be on a USB thumb drive. Or I will use another platform in the future, Banana Pi for example is a far superior platform overall: SATA, NIC not attached via USB 2, WiFi onboard...

SD cards are generally fine or even great of OSes. But you can't be writing to them, especially for logging. If you make sure that you are using an OS designed for this kind of use (a Live one) or you modify one for this use, they are very reliable.
