Time for me to buy some new drives and make a software raid for my plex server.
One of the old ass drives must have puked.
And the even older raid card is such a piece of shit now. It was never “good” but it has worked for for than a decade. Came out of a backup appliance we bought in 2008.

Did some research on getting a 3D printer. But decided not to bother as once I've used it to print a few things we wouldn't use it again

Find a local makerspace. Should be a few near you.

Those seem so expensive and time consuming. Not much better than just buying a 3D printer for a month of use and then selling it used or just holding on to it.

maintaining a 3D printer can be a HUGE PITA, for a small number of prints definitely makes it worth paying others to just handle the print, you only pay for a successful print, if you own the printer, and it fails, you loose those funds, etc.

monday morning. counting my blessings.

Server updates.
-
Trying to figure out what is causing my laptop to completely lock up with Pop_OS 19.10 (did this with Fedora 31 as well).
-
Just finished writing a little saxophone duet that came to mind tonight. I'll try to make time this week to record it and upload to YouTube.

Ubuntu 20.04 - Firefox
By default in the Ubuntu Software store only shows snap version of Firefox but the installed version is is a deb file app.

-ish
It started a over a month ago with Fedora 31, and I was able to narrow it down to likely something in the kernel not playing nice with Intel graphics chips starting with kernel 5.4+ (rather than Firefox causing the problem, which was the first seemingly common denominator in all of this). Because I was itching to give Pop_OS a try, I hopped to it at the start of April. All's been fine until the last week or so. Currently my Pop_OS 19.10 installation is using kernel 5.3.
When I gather some more information, I'll probably make a thread about it here.

This was another reason. After reading about setup and just running the things seemed to much hard work. If I got a hobby that would use it more often I would get one.

Taking Avixa online courses for AV certifications my company now wants everyone to have; seems like that's the new direction.

Denver's library system has several printers that are free to use by any library card holder. Check your local library.

@hobbit666 Our library (if it was open) has a weekly maker space evening. Also ask around maybe someone in you neighborhood has one already. Found out my neighbor got one at Christmas time and he's already printed a couple small projects (namely Raspbery Pi cases) for me
