I 3D printed my first Christmas Parole
Smaller than most Paroles I have purchased but looks kind a cool.
Also flashed my first SAS9305-16E, got to admit was a challenge, not as straightforward as others.
Am ready though, for those that came across this post here is the firmware location

There has been some crazy weather the past few days. I personally have stayed indoors, but today I had to go in for an in person office meeting and had to drive a bit.
Yesterday I did drive further but today there was some bad rain.
Hoping my kids will play it safe when they drive.
Most of my purchases are done, I got too many things going on at the same time.

Haven’t had time to go and work out, been really busy. Had to bail out of work early today to go to the Doctors and returned and continued to work.
Cranking out some work, got a lot of things to do.
Tomorrow I have to go into the office and then work some more when I get home.

I am posting late, got caught up with a conversation with an old friend from when we were in high school.
He was a great runner that made it to State and ran in college. I was hoping my son would reach out to him for advice cause my advice consists of run faster.
Anyway, we chatted and reflected on the what our journeys were.
I told him I gonna reach out to him after a crack 300, it is such a wall for me at the moment.

The biggest pieces for my JBODs are done, small things like rack mounts or an optional door is left. I did order fastener hardware for door, but for the major backplane mount and even larger housing is done.
Also the new NAS parts are starting to come in, I may start putting it together, I got the parts. The Z440 base server is in too. I will test it out as well.
I do want to build the JBOD for the NAS first and test it out on the current NAS.
Got a lot done today.

This is my first production JBOD, I do have that monster exists
And my development one
But this is my first production one that will be on 24/7
Here is what it is replacing
And here is the big reveal
That little pack at the top, those are 2 more disks that are directly connected to the ESXi hosts. I totally forgot about those and did not account for them in this setup. It kind of opens up some possibilities though so I am leaving it. I cannot rack it because the power supply is behind that blank.
Gonna toss the Z420’s on the side there and make some room.
All in all looks like on a good track.
Also would like to remember that Toto entered our home 11 years ago.

Toto our dog came into our lives 11 years ago. We saw him first at the Seattle Humane Society, but were not allowed to take him that day. https://www.apolonio.com/blog/?p=4745
But the next day I recall going there early, being the second one in line and getting him.
He became family immediately.
Still emotionally not ready for a new dog, a year from now I want another dog.
But couple things need to happen, I told myself I will be under 305 when we get a new one. I hope to be more financially stable, we are on a debt speed run. Hoping things slow down a lot in January.
Also need to organize and puppy safe the house.
Another weekend with a lot going on, in a way it is preparing for 2026 more than wrapping up 2025.

Rocky 9.7 is a out, so is Rocky 10.1, my bandwidth is being used to download them as I post.
I was able to patch all but one of my boxes (it is doing a hard drive burn in) so that was good. But frigate acted up again. Here is what I did to fix it.
dnf erase gasket-dkmsdnf install gasket-dkms#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(6,8,0) #if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(6,8,0) || \ (defined RHEL_RELEASE_CODE && RHEL_RELEASE_CODE >= RHEL_RELEASE_VERSION(9, 7))-#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(6, 4, 0)
internal->class = class_create(driver_desc->module, driver_desc->name);
-#else
internal->class = class_create(driver_desc->name);
with
internal->class = class_create(driver_desc->name);dkms autoinstall
modprobe apex
modprobe gasketSeems to have worked
Lost some decent weight, trending back down, But I think it is water

Starting to build these units out, got two so far, need a total of 7 more on order.
Parts are coming in for other projects, one important one before end of the year for one of my virtual file servers that have external drives.
Work is busy too, may be burning the midnight oil trying to get stuff done.
Just doing pushups and situps again, really need to do more, maybe swim tomorrow, but time is so limited.
Regardless weight seems to be returning back to pre thanksgiving levels.
