I started going through my To Do list, I got a lot done, but feels like I did not get anything done right.
I did post about the new JBOD on the public page.
There is just so much to do, so making a quick post.
One thing I FINALLY got in was the new TP-Link 8 port switch. It is in production and getting monitored.

Spent part of the day planning for 2026, I know I got a lot on my plate, it is a 3day weekend for me, and there are no Sunday games for the Seahawks, so I find myself with couple hours to do things.
Still, I been resting too much. Got enough sleep, so tomorrow will make a big push to get things done.

After last night’s game, I stayed up looking for news articles regarding the game.
Did it to myself, but woke up and had stuff to do, like my finance Friday, car maintenance, normal Friday network tasks and Christmas Photos.
I am tired now, I need to get some sleep. Felt like a Saturday, but it is a Friday, got time to do stuff.

What a game, this game was so hyped up, you kind of expected it to be boring boy it wasn’t.
There were so many story lines in this game.
The numbers/stats did show the Rams beating the Seahawks save one, the score

First pic of my JBOD and Server for my NAS in 2026
One thing I forgot to purchase was the cables for the HBA, they are on order. Need four Mini SAS SFF-8644 to SATA and the disks.
I may be able to with less drives, or smaller drives. We will see.
Going to start a post on the my.apolonio.tech site.

I little dirt secret, remember this JBOD
It was out of service for couple months now because the 300W power supply was not enough.
Today I upgraded it to a 750 Watt and it is more stable. I was able to see and use the storage, but more important was able to record what drives were really being used. I am going to use these disks in the new NAS.
Not all disks were used so I have a little migration room for the new NAS.
Before the weekend hits I hope to complete the new NAS JBOD.

Sometimes we get tunnel vision and we don’ realize something dangerous is happening. That is what happened today to me.
I had a busy morning, then had a doctor appointment and then an xray.
Then in an instant priorities changed, I was near the area of a levee breach here in Western Washington. I was safe because I was above ground.
Then when I got home, I got notice my oldest son lived in the area that was told to evacuate.
At that point my whole schedule shifted. I cancelled couple meetings and rushed over to get him out of there.
In the end, it did not reach him, but it certainly hit some people in the area.
I think being able to shift gear like that is a good thing but really disruptive.

Half a month left in the year and I got so much to do. Lights aren’t 100% up yet either.
I been putting on the back burner some things, and I speed run through some others. Basically I have weird priorities.
One of the things I did speed run is getting the new NAS up, the server itself is built, but some parts of my life is catching up to me.
Not Christmas lights. Tomorrow gonna carve out some time and get it done.

Getting ahead of schedule but all the parts are in for my 2026 NAS are here except for the drives. I am going to do a longer form post regarding the build tomorrow.
So I have the base server, here is what I got
Also found some test drives around the house to play with the new JBOD.

Got another JBOD installed. This time on my mediacenter server.
A couple of weeks ago this system only had capacity for 12 disks (not including M.2)
By end of today, I have capacity for 17 3.5″ drives and 4 2.5″ drives. I tested hot swap this evening and it worked.
Other than cables, I think I have everything I need in possession or on order.
Going to bed early, want to wake up and do a bunch of stuff.
