What Happens If You Press All the Buttons at Perth Observatory?

I visited Perth Observatory during the day (because apparently stars aren’t required for an existential crisis) — and ended up getting a personal tour from Paul Wadham, the actual Operations Manager. Legend.

He showed me antique telescopes, answered my weird space questions with alarming patience, and introduced me to an atomic clock that I may or may not now be emotionally dependent on.

No stars. Just me, Paul, and the unstoppable march of time. ⏱️🔭🌞

Feeling much better today. Up to about 85%. Starting out today by finishing a DbD daily or 2 and then either some Aloft, Icarus or maybe Dark and Darker... who knows. Come help me decide. Cya there. #IdontKnowWhatImDoing https://www.twitch.tv/flintgold

Ok - last garden post for the day since I'm done watering. On to boring house chores.
This is "Become Ungovernable - Garden Edition."
Thought I'd plant this pumpkin on the edge of the raised bed, thinking it would drape gravefully over the edge and free roam in the garden path. Nope! It has decided it will do the opposite and overrun the cabbages.
Here's my garden advice: Plants do what plants do.

24 hours later, I'm back!

Summary of the previous episodes:

3 days ago, my old dedicated server started spewing error messages about the CPU.
On a hunch, I ran backup-manager with my existing configuration that's supposed to send the compressed database dump + files to an FTP backup server.
I contacted my hosting provider to figure out the error.
Answer was quick: "we can't physically intervene on the server, and the same offer isn't available anymore, you have to pick a new offer".
I pick an upgrade, no answer for a day.
A day ago, they made the new server available to me, and immediately removed access to the old server from my account, including the attached FTP backup storage.
Asked the support to restore access either to the old server or at least the FTP storage. At this point I've lost all my Internet history from 2009 onwards.
The "Customer Excellence Specialist Level 2" throws his hands in the air, saying that the CPU errors are making either SSH or KVM impossible.
12 hours ago, they restored my access to the server and the FTP storage. No luck, last backup on that server dates back to 2019. Server's IP is "very pingable" according to support, but no remote connection is possible.
Through the hosting provider console, I rebooted in rescue mode. No luck, still no remote connection. I switch back to regular mode with a new reboot.
I start to receive emails from my third-party monitoring system that my web sites are available again!
I jump on my terminal, the remote connection works! I don't know how much time I have, I stop the web server to save CPU cycles. I found the fresh local backup files. I start to download them locally. 25 GB at 500 kB/s, it's not looking good. I try to access my old server from my new server directly, transfer rate is 50 MB/s, we're getting somewhere.
The archive is compressed with LZMA, but I'm unable to expand the archive, lzma reports an succint error.
Pushing my luck, I start a full MariaDB database backup on the old server. Meanwhile, I start copying the old server's files onto the new using scp. Wrong choice, permissions and symbolic links aren't preserved. Started again with rsync with better success.
Importing the database backup was straightforward, works right out of the box with the already existing user credentials.
I finish importing the files, fire the web server after fixing several unmet dependency issues, and here I am again!

Phew. Did you miss me?

This picture pretty much conveys my return to Mastodon since...*quickly checks* April. 😂 I took a couple social media hiatuses, which ended up feeling amazing! Mainly because it gave me a chance to figure things out irl and work on my mental and physical health.

Looking forward to using this platform again. <3

I suppose it's not as much as I would expect in 5 hours and I will really try to keep telling myself it's only for rigging practice. Yes.
