Friday Here Needed It

No football this weekend, so I am going to chill.

I am really tired, I have a to do list but am too tired.

I will start on it tomorrow.

I did figure out how to restore my primary domain controller on to a VM. Needed an equivalent NVME disk.

Repairs After Power Outage

Bunch of actions still need to done after the power outage. So far

  • Purchased a phone power bank
  • Another portable lantern
  • Another UPS
  • A special battery pack for my CPAP
  • Power strips that can protect electronics
  • Replaced one damaged switch
  • Started DR planning
  • Updated Startup Docs

Still want to go physical on a bunch of things, and there are still two more devices that are offline.

Domain Controller DR

I figured out how to backup and restore my domain controllers. So I know have processes to backup and restore all my critical services.

I have been backing it up in the past with snapshots.

I am thinking to try and restore it in a lab. I know I can restore my VM domain controllers, hoping I can restore my single physical DC as a VM.

World Falling Apart Again?

Power went out again while I was out getting my meds. Kind of frustrating, third time in a month.

But while I was Costco shopping, my son told me about the run on Paper Towels and Toilet paper.

He was right, no toilet paper and the paper towels were low.

Shortage October 2024

No reason for this, wondering if something is up. I joined the panic a bit and got my pack of paper towels and some TP from Target.

Sleep Reset

Had an unusually long sleep today, I was incredibly tired.

Went to bed around midnight and woke up at 11AM.

I did go out to lunch after that, cleaned the house a bit, but figured out better ways to do small tasks on my finances.

Maybe sleep early again, this time get up early and do some work.

All Parts for New Laptop

I got all the parts I need for my new laptop, I may upgrade to 16GB of RAM, but for now I got 2TB Samsung EVO NVME that should work and is more expensive than the rest of the laptop.

Also got cables and stuff for its final home.

This will follow me around so I want something stable so I am going to put non subscriptions versions of Office, Visio, and Project.

New Personal Laptop

My new (used) Dell Latitude 7490 arrived yesterday. Remember that Dell 7290? This one is a bigger brother.

I will configure it like the other one, but this one will have a bigger hard drive, wanted a smaller 1080P model, but this one is slightly bigger so I will take it.

Another bonus is I am figuring out how this can be a daily driver for me.

As for the old one, I am thinking of making it a a PAW, Privileged Access Workstation.
