I’m still in the process of finding a new house within my hometown. We haven’t had much luck with our offers so far, so we’re considering building a house instead. We’ve talked to a company called UBuild It, but we’re still undecided about whether to go that route or just buy a house outright. We’re weighing our options and trying to figure out what’s best for us. Work has been a bit of a mixed bag lately. Some days are incredibly busy, while others are quite slow. For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been focused on password resets for a new project. There are several other planned projects on the horizon, so it looks like I’ll be in for a busy end of the year. ...

Life & Working I am currently motivated to embark on a weight loss journey due to some health concerns I am facing. My wife and I are exploring the possibility of moving soon, with the hope of finding the perfect home. I am currently engaged in a 40-hour IT support position in my local area. While the job can be stressful at times, I find satisfaction in the work, and I am fortunate to have a positive relationship with most of my colleagues. However, I do aspire to receive a more competitive salary for my efforts. ...

The past few weeks have been quite a rollercoaster. I recently encountered an unexpected setback when my contract work was abruptly canceled. The client, known for underestimating project costs, failed to account for the installation expenses this time as well. Unfortunately, this is a recurring issue with this client, who has a track record of initiating projects and leaving them unfinished. In addition to these contract troubles, I’ve been grappling with some technical difficulties related to my 1U Proxmox server setup. When I initially purchased the server, I didn’t anticipate the need for a RAID interface. To make matters worse, some of the power cords provided were too short, and I was sent the incorrect CPU heatsink. On a positive note, a replacement heatsink is on its way and should arrive today, which should resolve part of the issue. ...

Proxmox Server Upgrade: Challenges and Solutions I recently embarked on upgrading my Proxmox server by transferring it to a 1U rack mount case, but I’ve encountered a few issues along the way. 1. Motherboard Stand-Offs Issue One challenge is related to the motherboard stand-offs. I’ll need to reposition them to fit the new case, but I’ve run into a small hiccup: I misplaced the specific wrench required for this task. I’m in the process of obtaining a replacement wrench set to resolve this issue. ...

For an efficient Proxmox server backup setup, I plan to utilize four 500GB solid-state drives (SSDs) to ensure robust storage performance. I will configure a Windows share on my Windows 10 PC, which will host ISO files and backups. This approach allows me to offload backup storage from the Proxmox server itself, optimizing its available space. Additionally, all backups will be automatically synced to my Backblaze account, providing a reliable offsite backup solution. ...
