That's odd. 95% of this morning's visitors to our archive server based in Western CT are from Asia. I am sure this is all entirely legitimate traffic and not bots making my life more difficult.
(I'm fine with bots scrapping our data, it's public for a reason. I'm not fine with them DDOSing the site for hours)

happy happy. I got to do happy low-stress techy stuff all day. I made up a stylesheet for our xml/EAD finding aids, made a printer-friendly version, and set up the web server to automagically add the stylesheet to all the .xml files in a specific directory whenever a browser asks for them. This allows me to not edit the files themselves but still have them look cute. #archives #findingaids #systemslibrarian #xml #eads #geekingout
We're moving from solr 8 to 9 because the latest ArchivesSpace version demands it. Yesterday, we finished that migration. Things were a tad sluggish, probably because we were running both solr 8 and 9, since our Arclight site still used solr 8.

I tried setting up a new Arclight core on solr 9 so I could re-index Arclight, in preparation for turning off solr 8. I accidentally deleted the website's (old, in use) Arclight core.

So, we're moving to solr 9 a tad sooner than expected since everything needs a re-index anyway.

for posterity: the error message when I navigated to the .css file in a browser was

bad message 400 reason: ambiguous uri empty segmentand the apache config problem was the difference between the staff and public lines below:

ProxyPass /staff
http://localhost:8082/staff
ProxyPassReverse /staff
http://localhost:8082/staff
ProxyPass /public/assets
http://localhost:8081/assets
ProxyPassReverse /public/assets
http://localhost:8081/assets

Also, omg having a dedicated test server is nice. (Remember: everyone has a test server. Ideally the test server is not the same machine as the production server.)

ArchivesSpace 3.5 to 4.1.1 update, my webserver config added an extra / to the end of my asset URIs, so CSS wasn't loading on the public site. Staff side was fine. #nopushfridays #updates #archivesspace #systemslibrarian
@kalayo Same. Like, I had all summer to complete these projects before the students came back. Why are the students almost here and my projects aren't done? #academiclibrarian #systemslibrarian
Sometimes I feel like I don't do that much at work. Then I start a work blog with weekly "what I did" posts and oh wow, I do a lot. That's why I feel stretched so thin sometimes. #sysadmin #systemslibrarian
At work, we're moving from Primo BO to Primo VE and I've been working to make sure we don't lose any configuration we care about in the move. I like some of the new details, dislike losing certain options, and really appreciate that configuration now has menus, tabs, and checkboxes instead of never-ending listing of field-value pairs. #systemslibrarian #primove
This week has been "marginal improvements to everything I touch", and, boy, did I touch a lot of stuff.

I fixed a configuration issue and made a coworker's workflow better. I feel awesome. #systemslibrarian
