Got tomorrow off work. Still not used to working federal days off.

Just used ChatGPT to create a .muttrc file that looks like Telix.

@tpheine 11 hours with downloads/backups.

2025-06-08

Well, I have now tested my backup.

Had to backup/restore a friends VM, took me 11 hours.

Have lost my taste for coffee lately.

Also lost the taste for bourbon.

Nothing tastes particular good.

backing up a VM so that I can remove the VMs and then add the host to a Proxmox cluster.

It is peaceful while the backups are being done, but afterwards I need to get my ass in gear.

@ScottStarkey I miss those hoosier tenderloins.

The rest of the world is missing out.

Seems like I got rid of the gremlin in my network. The T-mobile 5g box seems to have an issue sometimes with transfers between the wireless and the wired connections.

Put a Mikrotik in the mix to help. Doubt this is the only thing I will need to do, but a good first try.

Was able to backup my laptop to the zVault server using restic.

Okay, NetBSD installed, but they keyboard was not working.

Installed OpenBSD instead.

2025-06-01

Wiped 2 systems and reloaded with freebsd at home.

Got behave working on one of them.

Might wipe the second one and load NetBSD as it has been a while since I ran it.

Yup, that is what I will do….brb

Was getting errors on my nvme drive, but couldn't tell which one was giving the errors.

Pulled the oldest one (by a month) and left the other.

That took care of it. Now I am down 500gb on machine, but at least I took care of the errors.

Not trying to sounds like a sponsored ad, but I have to say that I am really happy with my #Razer gaming chair. When initially sitting in it the foam/padding seems to stiff, but with it being stiff, I give great lumbar support.

Feeling like an idiot, but can't get bind/named working on a freebsd server.

Keep getting that the server is lame.

So rusty after a few years...

2025-05-21

Dear Lazyweb,

If you were going in setup a new name server, would you use BIND or PowerDNS or something else?

2025-05-21

Been testing #cloudpanel lately. Works well, but doesn't do email of DNS, so if I change to it, I need to setup DNS and email.

Wondering if I want to go about doing that or just stick with #virtualmin.

@catsalad after being known for wearing 3 watches back in the Swatch days, I could get in to this.

2025-05-18

who has tried #zVault, the successor to TrueNAS Core (FreeBSD-based)?

2025-05-05

@phessler Yeah, the verification email is new for the portal.

I have learned my lesson.

2025-05-05

Anyone have a contact at NOCIX/WholesaleInternet?

My server is down, but I can't submit a ticket because the verify email for the account...is sending to my down server.

Hoping this doesn't require me to move to a new provider.

2025-05-04

@stefano So how far have you gotten?

Any snags along the way?

Any features you not expecting it to do but it does?
