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

24 hours later, I'm back!

Summary of the previous episodes:

1. 3 days ago, my old dedicated server started spewing error messages about the CPU.
2. 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.
3. I contacted my hosting provider to figure out the error.
4. 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".
5. I pick an upgrade, no answer for a day.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. The "Customer Excellence Specialist Level 2" throws his hands in the air, saying that the CPU errors are making either SSH or KVM impossible.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. I start to receive emails from my third-party monitoring system that my web sites are available again!
12. 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.
13. The archive is compressed with LZMA, but I'm unable to expand the archive, lzma reports an succint error.
14. 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.
15. Importing the database backup was straightforward, works right out of the box with the already existing user credentials.
16. 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?

Well I guess this is okay to dare and export to Live2D Cubism..

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.

The people that create childrens bikes absolutely love allen keys, and of course I couldn't find my 2.5 to adjust this front mudguard.

iFixit toolset here to save the day. Bought to fix a Wii U, but helped with so many common household items. 🥰

Another CD tonight, this time it's my current favourite album - the latest release from the brilliant Nerina Pallot, "I Don't Know What I'm Doing".

I've listened to this countless times since it was released and always enjoy it and find a meaningful connection to the title track in particular!

Big benefit of physical media over streaming/downloads: liner notes!

Couldn't sleep. Got up at 5AM and figured out how to enable commenting.

That's right, it took me more than an hour.

@ArtistClancy Some of us joined med-mastodon, but #epitwitter seems to be scattered across quite a few instances. I suggest searching for hashtags of interest and then following those hashtags. The people you want to see will pop over time in your feed and then you can follow them.

@crispyteriyaki I'm still figuring it out? I think it may be like Discord where servers get to choose what custom emojis are available to members (beyond the normal ones)? #NewToMastodon #IDontKnowWhatImDoing

Okay, is there a way to form a small group on here as well? Or some sort of channel… thinking about ways to interact with a CP group. Are there group chats? #mastodonhelp #groupchat #help #idontknowwhatimdoing

Est-ce que je dois vraiment me réjouir qu'il y ait une conduite pétée en pleine mer ?! 🤔

Autant pour la plongée après le début de la guerre je pouvais comprendre, autant là c'est quand même super mystérieux.

Je pensais que l'action de la BCE allait avoir une influence mais en fait non https://www.lemonde.fr/economie/article/2022/09/08/zone-euro-la-bce-decide-d-une-hausse-historique-des-taux-de-0-75-point-pour-combattre-l-inflation-galopante_6140736_3234.html (peut-être car combinée au décès de la reine ??)
