I’m planning to move the websites over to the AlmaLinux server tomorrow, so you can expect there will be some downtime while I get everything in place. I’m already backing some files via sftp, and I’ve already backed off the SQL databases and virtual host files. So far the only snag I’ve run into is installing phpMyAdmin, but that can be set aside for now. I’m going to experiment with wp cli to get the databases up and running for each WordPress install.

Merry Christmas!… or something.
I hope everyone is having, or had a nice holiday. I stayed in my Christmas PJ’s all day, enjoyed a good breakfast, opened presents and played a little Yakuza. My muscles are enjoying some rest — my ankle didn’t even give me any issues today!
But now it’s time for slep.
Christmas Eve Open Thread
Happy Hollandaise! I’ve done my holiday time – and now I can enjoy a three day weekend. I didn’t do anything too special; I worked on a future video, played a little NieR Replicant, and did a little photo editing in Krita. I’m looking forward to a few days of giving my ankle a chance to stop yelling at me; it seems to get angry once in awhile about the fact that I accidentally took a small spill down the stairs a few years ago.
I hope everyone is having a good holiday!
Holiday Hunger Games
I’ve prepared my baked goods for the yearly Christmas Eve ritual. They’re all packaged and ready to dispense to co-workers tomorrow! My Cranberry Nut Muffins were a hit at work last year, and I figured why not a repeat? Then I can spend a three day weekend letting my muscles rest. My ankle has been giving me trouble for the last week and it doesn’t show any sign of letting up. Just being able to rest it for a few days would be a nice gift.
Evening Open Thread
Too tired to post. The closer it gets to the holidays, the more drained I become. The only bright side to this week is that it’s only a four day stretch ending with a three day weekend. Unfortunately I didn’t even get to send my gifts off, the lines have been extending out into the parking-lot whenever I even have the chance to go to the post office. -_-
Getting Established Under AlmaLinux
Over the weekend I donated a small bit of my time to getting the new webserver up and running. I spun up a new Droplet at DigitalOcean with an image of AlmaLinux, and after some trial and error I had a barebones lampstack setup within minutes! Then came setting up the new Mumble server, and tomorrow I might play with getting a wiki up… for fun.
Introducing A New Family Member!
I’d like you all to meet Chuckie! He’s been jumping around all over the place, and he can’t stop dancing! He came from the same litter we were supposed to adopt Archie from, basically a lighter orange twin but without the floppy ears. Still quite the extremely cute bugger. He’s already climbing over barriers and causing a ruckus! 😛 Stewie and Morty haven’t warmed up to him yet, as expected. In time though I’m hoping Morty realises that Chuckie is just as playful as he is, and Stewie won’t target Morty as often.
Oh Holy… Fuck No
I remember playing this at work one year before we opened, and it was so loud and horrible that a couple people from the otherside of the building came over because they thought someone was dying.
