Although I didn't go to bed super late +yesterday (I think it was about 01:45 or so), I did end up sleeping quite long today. I got up at +11:30 or so, just in time for lunch :) + +# Afternoon + +I made a really nice leek soup yesterday, and today it was time to consume it! Although I forgot to +take pictures, the soup has fried mini veal dumplings and stilton cheese and it's super delicious. I +ate two bowls, Marina ate one, and then she continued with some leftover beans and potatoes from +yesterday. After lunch, I went to the basement to continue the creation of the _schwag_ for FrysIX: +yesterday I made 60pcs of [[IPng](https://ipng.ch)] branded (fridge) magnets, and today I continued +with 60pcs of 38mm pins. I really enjoy doing this type of work - each unit takes maybe 20 seconds +or so, which means the exercise takes about 25min end to end - there's something about the +monotonous placement of the outer shell, the cellophane, the 2" round printed inside, and then the +back side (either magnet or pin), that is rewarding to me. I always had it: 20y ago when we lived in +the Netherlands, I would also enjoy printing DCD labels, and sticking them onto the discs and +printing, cutting and putting paper inlays into jewel cases. Is that weird? + +Meanwhile, Marina was upstairs looking for more pin-making-resources. She found 59mm pins (these are +38mm), and they come in a variety of types, fronts, and back plates, including one that is both a +magnet as well as a bottle opener. I get an idea -- wouldn't it be fun to have a bunch of pins with +RFID tags in them? I find the nTAG21x from NXP, and order a few rolls of 20x10mm and 35mm round +units which have either 144 bytes or 504 bytes of storage. Cool! Will see if I can McGuyver these +into schwag later. + +I'm going to visit NL a little bit in September. I thought it'd be fun to have an IPng logo on the +car, and seeing as we just got a Cameo v5 delivered (_quelle surprise_!), we took a few pictures +with an assorted set of colored vinyl and I posted a Twitter and Mastodon poll to see what the +Internet thinks: + +* [Twitter - https://x.com/IPngNetworks/status/1821179665928560873](https://x.com/IPngNetworks/status/1821179665928560873) +* [Mastodon - https://ublog.tech/@IPngNetworks/112921027967806983](https://ublog.tech/@IPngNetworks/112921027967806983) + +***Please vote!*** + +Marina spends an inordinate amount of time on the pins website - it's super flaky and keeps on +throwing errors. But after a few hours (!) she finally places an order and informs of of the damage. +It's not too bad! But the RFID experiment will be driving up the price, for sure :) + +# Evening + +There is no apero today (whoa), but instead Marina offers a nice glass of _Barocco Reale_ from +_Veccia Torre_. Are you proud of me, or disappointed (I'm asking Max, Niccolo, Marco, Marco and +Giovanni)? To pair with the wine, Marina made pulled beef (from the stockpile we got at _Aligro_) +with Pappardelle pasta (my choice!). We topped it off with some freshly grated Grana Padano. It was +heavenly. + +Marina says: "I didn't do jack shit today, so no TV for me: I need a _knutselavond_!". I'm down for +that, as I am also in need of some _nerd_. My evening is spent downstairs watching _The Last of Us_ +on Jessica's left screen, and computering on the right. + +In the evening, on Mastodon @kwf points out that the micromirror is going strong - and I show the traffic of +the machine at the DDLN colo in AS8298. It's nicely di-urnal, which is a good sign that it's +serving timezone-local folks. It peaks at 700Mbps or so, and has a daily of 400Mbps. Nice! + +With this website, the new [[IPng.ch](https://ipng.ch)] website, and some older ones like the [[2022 +Roadtrip NOSE](https://2022roadtripnose.weirdnet.nl/)] all being built via the _Drone_ CI/CD, the +2vCPU and 4GB virtual machine that is [[git.ipng.ch](https://git.ipng.ch)] is running out of steam. +Specifically the checkout of Git LFS objects and websites in the single digit gigabyte range, make +it really work. So I decide to move off a couple of docker services on that machine, to another one. + +**docker0.frggh0.net.ipng.ch** is now the proud owner of: +* [[PictShare](https://github.com/HaschekSolutions/pictshare)] from HaschekSolutions. I spend + some time (re)skinning this one to IPng colors and logo. +* [[Golinks](https://github.com/x-proj/go-links)] which is a fork of + [[kellegous/go](https://github.com/kellegous/go)], and it's uptodate. +* [[Netbox](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox-docker)] which I upgrade to v4.0.8 while + I'm at it. + +And for good measure, I bump Gitea's VM memory to 8GB and 8vCPU, and reboot the instance. I also +notice that e-mail isn't working, which I track down to a faulty `.env` setting. All works now! + +I'm in maintenance mode, so I also take a look at Mastodon (which is uptodate), and Peertube (which +is not). I make a VM snapshot of the Peertube instance, and upgrade it from v6.0.4 to v6.2.1. This +requires me to upgrade node from v19 to v20, and install Python3 PIP. Otherwise, the upgrade goes +well. Finally, I take a look at Pixelfed, which by my best knowledge, only my buddy Ramon uses. +It's also in need of an update (from v0.12.1 to v0.12.3), so I make a snapshot of the VM's disk, +and then I use [[idanoo](https://github.com/idanoo/pixelfed-upgrade-script.git)]'s excellent work. +The upgrade goes down without a hitch, whohoo! + +I run out of things to upgrade, so I rummage around Ansible groups a bit, and do an APT upgrade on +the `smtp`, `nginx`, `border`, `apu`, and `hypervisor` clusters. The thing is: if you claim you're a +fan of self-hosting, at some point you have to ... self-host :) But no damage done, and a few XP +earned today. + +## Pictures of the Day + +{{< gallery-category >}} + {{< gallery-photo fn="2024-08-07/IMG_0558.JPG" caption="The magnets were done yesterday, and today the chore is 60pcs of IPng.ch pins!" >}} + {{< gallery-photo fn="2024-08-07/IMG_0559.JPG" caption="The pins are going well.
