Waiting for the new cooker to be delivered and hoping the gas man will arrive at the same time
Oh and on that note it was a expensive weekend, also bought a petrol mower for the gardenHow do you mow petrol?
It is interesting to see someone specifically call out a gas mower instead of just saying - I got a mower.
but perhaps in the UK, the push/manual type are super common?
I think there are some electric ones on the market now too.
There are - I've only ever seen them with a power cord though - I wonder if they have battery powered ones now? I'd be surprised if they didn't.
I have a battery powered one. It's a Ryobi, and I love it! If my yard gets out of hand (it usually does in the spring & summer), I can cut the yard (front and back -- it's like 3/4 of an acre) on 2 batteries. (I have 2). If it's just a regular cutting, I can usually do both on one battery.
how quiet is it?

You asking a deaf man that question? :crazy_face:
It's nowhere near as loud as a gas powered one, but it ain't exactly whisper quiet either. If you have a lot of thick grass, you'll hear it ramp up a bit to cut. For my small yard, it's awesome. I can cut front and back in ~30 minutes or so if I don't get interrupted and have to stop.

I had a Ryobi for years, cutting about 1/3 acre. If I waited over 5 days in a typical summer <average rainfall or higher>, it would take a little over an hour. Cutting it more often is the trick. Also, I cut it on mulch and it's self propelled. I have a gas powered one now.... no real reason for one over the other. Both do the trick.

Had a customer tell me that Virtual Machines don't have disks, and thus don't ever need to have a check disk run because check disk only checks for physical disk issues...
I fell silent and then promptly informed the customer that virtual machines do have disks (called vdisks) and that check disk checks for OS issues and not just disk related issues.

Those always throw me for a loop. Great response.

LOL have him tell me that when I did a D2V and had to run diskcheck 15 times before it would finally boot..
-
@Dashrender right?!
I can understand where if this was a tool to check only blocks and sectors to report on health saying this. But check disk does more than "check the disk".

Learning how to create and attach a virtual disk to a VM using
virshor whatever better tool (mayeqemu-img). -
trying to get MTR running and reporting on zabbix

Why would you need MTR with zabbix? Just have zabbix run traceroute more often.

because i need to see packetloss and where it's happening through the MPLS.
*edit
Need a change of tactics running from Zabbix isn't giving all the hops. Looking at installing the ubuntu kernel on the endpoints machine so i can run mtr to several points and log them via a script. -

Doesn't sound like vacation to me.

I wonder if ubiquiti will ever allow you to use their app to record video via your cellphone as if it were a ubiquiti device. it would be a nice feature.

Anytime you want a dynamic camera option for security. For instance, I don't have outside cameras currently. If something happens outside of my house, I'd like the option of having a way to go outside and record what I need to. Maybe a car accident happens and my static doorbell camera isn't good enough to see the detail of what happened, or what is happening. There are a lot of reasons.

I have no idea how well or not Ubiquiti cameras can work over the internet - most people don't have great wifi in their yards, so who knows if it would work -
But if you're going to use your cellphone - why not use it's built in video recorder? I suppose if the idea is to get the video into a central place, that could be nice.
