I bought tickets to Tool for me and my kid, but my doctors informed me yesterday that I get to have spinal surgery instead. It’s a poor trade, my daughter is fucking devastated. I didn’t buy the ticket insurance because what could possibly go wrong? At least I didn’t pop for parking. 😂

Anyone interested in seeing Tool in LA at Crypto Arena on 2/14? Two premium seats. #tool #concert #forsale #socal #LosAngeles

The downside of running old enterprise hardware in a #homelab is the sometimes ludicrous prices still expected for minor accessories, like an internal 5V power cable. They would probably take me five minutes to make, but $150 in tools I don't currently own. I love an excuse to buy tools, but even I can't justify this one.

I need two Supermicro CBL-PWEX-0625 cables, if by some miracle someone who has some sitting around actually sees this.

I have a five-node #proxmox cluster. Their official package repository is kind of slow, and downloading the same upgrades five times can be annoying.

It was surprisingly easy to set up my own local mirror. There are a number of options available, and I'm using `debmirror`. It took 15GB to mirror both the PVE and PBS Bookworm repos, and another 114GB for Debian Bookworm and Bookworm-Updates (main, contrib, non-free, non-free-firmware). #linux #debian #selfhosting #homelab

In memory of my father-in-law Peter Wu, who passed away yesterday from a Covid-triggered lung infection. He was 86 years old.

He lived in our home for the past 15 years, and played a substantial role in raising my daughter.

I have tremendous respect for a man that survived the communist revolution in China, the famine, and the cultural revolution. He had the tenacity and sheer force of will to bring his family to the US for a better life. Rest peacefully Peter, you earned it.
