      I am sitting down at my desk for the first time in 9 days after surviving a 4 state, 1900+ mile, 20 brewery, 13 winery, 1 distillery loop around Lake Michigan. I've been here for an hour and I'm ready to go back on vacation already.

        Thought you might like this... 0_1464041229236_IMG_0623.JPG

        Tomo battery charger

        Using four 18650 batteries pulled for 'dead' laptop packs.

        The little (uncased) board is a Yeeco 2577 DC DC Boost Converter

        Charging a Baofeng HT which needs 10-12volts .

        Last week I charged my iPhone off that Tomo four times before using it here,.. Ran for about 30 minutes before the battery voltage dropped to low.

        Gah you've started me on a trip down the amazon.ca rabbit hole of cheap dodgy shenzhen stuff lol

            Attempting to secure my ownCloud server using Let's Encrypt but running into PHP errors(?). Interesting.

            I run LetsEncrypt on the proxy server in front of ownCloud. Not on ownCloud itself.

            +1 - This is the way to do it.

              So I just spent like 40 minutes trying to figure out what was wrong with sss/automounter because home directories wouldn't mount on a test workstation.

              Turns out you need to actually export the NFS share before the NFS client can mount it. Who would have thought...........

              I need to go home.

                I agree. Let's go home! Has been a back breaking week here. It's only Tuesday and we've already shuffled around two racks of equipment, with another several hundred pounds of stuff to haul off to the junk pile... I mean Auctioning Block.

                Is it Friday yet?

                              Dare to read a few SW threads and, of course, these are the posts...

                              1. I installed Windows directly to hardware and didn't even consider virtualizing and now there are driver issues caused by this. How could this have happened?

                              2. I used a SAN where it was totally inappropriate, didn't virtualize, treated a LUN as a share for no reason and it corrupted by non-clustered NTFS filesystem. How could this have happened?

                                      He'll have even more space after it eventually fails and all the data is lost forever

                                          Of course, more SWisms... Guy with the bad SAN setup... once he learns that he totally misused SAN and has a device that he should not have his setup what does he do? Instead of asking IT pros for advice or hiring a storage expert or taking a class he immediately calls up the vendor that screwed him and asks the sales people what he should.

                                          Seriously, you can't make this crap up.

                                            Right now: Building a system to stream the desktop from Raspberry Pi2 #1 to Pi2 #2 for a fair using VNC. Pi #2 will be attached to some large screen while Pi #1 does some presentation on the official Raspberry Pi 7" touchscreen. There will be a little distance (a few meters) between both.

                                            Why no HDMI wireless repeater? You can render to both (DSI and HDMI) just fine, but not on X on a Pi AFAIK. There's just a single framebuffer [1, 2, 3, 4]. That's why I had to fetch a stream from the desktop 😉 Transfer via VNC over Ad-Hoc-Wifi or CAT 6a.
