A random day in February

Nice day. Made spaghetti – we make enough for more than a few meals later, so it’s a half-day effort. The whole upstairs smells delicious, but I couldn’t eat another bite.

Ran a new network line to Christina’s new office – this required 2 panels cut into the drywall, and one hole drilled in the floor. Turned out really well, and not a chaotic mess. Now only the kitchen and living room lack network cables, but our wifi mesh is pretty good, so that’s not a today kind of task.

Also finally decided on a larger synology NAS to replace my storage server. Moving from a server to a NAS seems counter intuitive sometimes, but other than a few apps that will run as docker containers, it just needs to store things, and NAS devices to that well. Plus they tend to be quiet, and the hotswap bays are nice.

It IS going to mean some future server rack re-org, likely removing EVERYTHING from the rack, then adding once at a time — an early summer project perhaps, ’cause that’s a whole day of downtime, guaranteed.
