Sleep has been pretty difficult for the last couple of weeks. It’s moderate effort to get to sleep, but if something wakes me up (like having to go to the bathroom) after a certain hour, I’m pretty much up for the day. This getting older business sucks sometimes.
One of my personal servers started losing disks in a hurry as I was reinstalling an OS — two in an hour. I think the RAID controller is gone. When I have some time with my better half outside the house (its full fans are loud) I will try to drop the “failed” disks back in and route around the failed RAID controller.
I also have a smaller server (in every respect, sadly — from 64GB DDR4 and 12TB of RAID10 down to 32GB DDR4 and 2GB of RAID1), so I’ve thrown PVE8 onto that and am building a couple of VMs on it. One’s a utility VM I’ll use for work, so I am more device-independent when I’m around the house. It’s a pain to unplug my work laptop and take it to another area of the house, but if I do most of the work on the VMs, I can grab the spare laptop and use that, instead.
My hope is that I can get the more powerful one up and going, as that could handle argus, too. I’ll probably move that to my virtualisation server at OVH, as it’s got enough room to make space for it.
Today’s a write-off for progress on mapping or tagging. Hopefully I’ll get some time on Sunday.
