Server outages?

Hey, I haven't been on here much myself with the move. This morning I went to login and the site was down. I went to my rack and discovered the server was "sleeping/hibernating". I think this is likely because I changed desktops. This site and my entire "home lab" runs on Ubuntu desktop. Their ...

Re: Layoffs, err, retirements

Sorry to hear. Even if people are in a position to maybe not have to work it always sucks to not have it be on your own terms. I think things are going to get a lot uglier out there going forward.

Black Mirror

Black Mirror is back for another season. Not sure who here watches it but I still enjoy it even though some episodes are more hit and miss since Netflix took over production.

Re: What’s Spinning?

I got my great room audio system hooked up today and spun some Random Access Memories. One of my all time favorite albums.

Re: Speakers for 95% A/V

On a side note, rather than a soundbar I hooked up a WiiM Amp via HDMI ARC to my great room TV and hooked up a pair of Dali Oberon bookshelf speakers. For the price and poor acoustic environment they sound quite pleasant.

Re: Forum planned outage

Well, we were down, and now we're back. If you didn't see on Facebook, I LOST my server for about 14 hours. I thought I boxed it up and was planning a 2-3 hour outage. Then I "misplaced" the server. Then I was plugging the server in to a brand new network and had to redo all my port forwarding ...

Forum planned outage

The forum will be down for several hours sometime between 4/11 and 4/19. I'll try to post again with a more specific date, but I'll be physically moving the server to the new house. I'll leave it up until the network is all up and running at the new place but it will be offline for the physical move ...

Re: Speakers for 95% A/V


I recently was able to hear the SVS Prime Ultra system. Nice, but very bass-heavy. I have not heard the Pinnacle system. Do they offer in-home audition with free returns?


Yes they do offer returns, also, SVS is a full retail brand now. I just ordered everything from Nebraska Furniture Mart. If ...

Re: Favorite cocktails


A friend mentioned to me when he had a similar task he took a bottle of new scotch and mixed some of his dads scotch in it so each time he has a drink he has some of his dads in a diluted but present state. I have done the same for 13 years and have a very diluted but part of my dads Dewars scotch ...
