#Introductions

I’m an IT guy, specializing in #DNS & #DHCP.
I‘ve been building a hate-group #DNSBL, based upon the SPLC’s list. For #BIND & #pihole.

I like #fountainpens. Introduced to them in school & loved them since. I went for years w/o using them until my wife & I decided to buy 1 for 1 another.

I like #analog & #digital #photography. I ❤️ toy 📷.

Also interested in #biology, #astronomy, #cycling. I’ve ridden my bike for charity in #aidslifcycle, the #av200, & the #RTCC #TheRideTO.

Huh. I wonder what was on TV tonight?

I should probably be on a faster path to upgrades.

How? Why? Not even password protected? Please tell me someone was fired.

Did some maintenance. I should probably upgrade /and/ use this a lot more than I have.

I never feel like I have the time to sit down and do the work.

I think I’m going to have to dump one of my DNS servers. Cutting back on expenses. Even though, it’s on a relatively inexpensive linode, I need to cut back. I did like having 2 extras outside of my main hosting box.

This back to work schedule’s been okay. Last week was 4 days of 6hr days. I was exhausted. So exhausted, I am now getting sick. I’m not looking forward to my 8hr days coming up.

The subject of Reuben sandwiches came up in conversation. Reading the history of “Russian” dressing, and it is not surprising it’s not known in traditional Russian cuisine. But I just learned the best word ever…

Tinkering with the path somewhat, almost no images were loading. Reverted to the default, which I don't like, but what can you do? Tinker more, of course.

Boom. It seemingly works. Now, I'd like to get the virtual path to a better one, but it'll work for now.

1st attempt failed. :-( Rolled back to local storage. Will attempt again shortly.

Syncing data. will have to restart this instance and test. Hopefully, the new storage will take over and all will be good. 🤞

Righto. Syncing media to wasabi. Will be nice to have the new storage.

Tomorrow, it’s supposed to get above freezing. I don’t know how I feel about this.

I love Winter. I love the cold weather.

‪As we were driving either to or from taking the kids ice skating, 5yo said, “Hey, it’s a tooth store!” as we drove by a dentist. They will now and forever be referred to the Tooth Store. ‬

Happy Solstice, everyone! 🌟🌕

My hearing isn’t what it used to be and I do suffer from tinnitus, but I can still hear it. I checked the waveforms in various software—it’s not my hearing.
