Mike's battle with MS
My technolust is partially satiated. I ordered XPS HSF from Azon too hopefully cool down my server. The server is NOT an XPS system, i hope that it’ll fit in the case without any modification. I should find out on Monday when it arrives.
Plus I got 4g of Acrtic Silver to Hopefully round it all out and keep the the CPU temp well under the 50° it’s at now,
Well enough certainly isn’t. the stock HSF on the dell SFF is vastly insufficient. I’ll be exploring options in the meantime.
actually, badness. I’ve gotta dd an image to a SD card/usb drive. However I’ve got a plehora of external drives connecteed to my laptop so color me cautious, but I’m in no rush to get this done. ultimately I have an old laptop to convert into a chromebook.
Upgrade the CPU cooler on my new server. It needs it. It’s reporting an egg cooking 58° C. It’ll never be good enough. Tis my fault in life.
are in place. they may not be the prettiest options, but they’re cheap. I’m backing up using crontab and TAR to an external usb HDD. I’ll only be able to redundantly recover data though. It doesn’t meet my original qualification of having RAID like redundancy.
My technolust guides me. Here is where I am at now
A. Got my server reestablished, At least MjNet is up, I’m still working on TK
B Got a backup up and running on my laptop via the ubuntu backup tool. Sill working on a server backup solution. I was thinking of a rsync type backup to a usb HDD, but I’m still thinking on it. Plan B there is just to reinstall the OS and server software and then web backups to my local laptop.
C. I’ve gotta get Ubuntu 22.04 back up on my i3 gaming machine. I feel kinda bad about this one. I repouposed it as as server after my attack and never utilized its full gaming potential, that and im scared the windows install is…well…I’ll just calll it partially corrupted. All the data is fully retrievable. It’s just that such a powerful machine (at the time) was sooo cheap. I’m happier just plugging in one of my extra HDD and reinstalling the OS.
I can’t satisfy my technolust. My server already isn’t good enough and I already want an upgrade. Used DELLs are going for crazy cheap over at the ZON. And I keep looking at the options…I really need to stop this madness.
I should be happy that MjNet is back…and I shouldn’t perciverate on TK being down…or more appropriately tk is automatically redirecting back to MjNet. Woe is me while I think on it 🤔
YEAH BABY!
MjNet is back at its new local home. Now to see about TK…again!
