There is little more frustrating in technology than the phrase "I fixed the thing which randomly broke by restarting all the bits over and over until it worked."
And yet, here we are.

It sank in that I've been "fancy camping" at #ThisOldClownHouse just long enough to need our backup drives up and spinning.
If you need a reminder to keep extra copies of your digital creative life, remember that I'm doing this task while living in an actual construction site run by clowns.

After much swearing, our #Nextcloud server is vertical again!
There's no place like 127.0.0.1...which is interesting, because apparently redis needed it specified on this network, as opposed to accepting 'localhost' like before.
Bewildering, frustrating, and for the moment, now fixed and off my to-do list.
Still need to upgrade the machine, but for the moment, enjoying getting all of our devices talking to each other again.

Thanks to my geekiest friends, it looks like there's a shiny new #OpenBSD release to enjoy. Congrats on all the work to make it happen!
It may be a minute before I get to upgrade all the things though, as I am only vaguely certain which box I packed our server into before the move. :)

I just told a vendor that I'd prefer to add to their money pile directly, rather than buying their products from Amazon.
Despite it not being "how they do things", they agreed to do business directly with me and without my having to support Jeff Bezos a all!
Always ask, people often will help you do the right thing...even when it is different than the default thing they are doing.

I just went from empty weekend to emergency tech'ing a dance show. For all the jokes I hear about clowns being incompetent, more often than not they are who you call when plans go sideways.
