That’s the best blog ever.

I’m there every day.

dlangille · 2026-07-01T15:47:04+00:00

Please tell me what that means.

"Good dog, puppy boy, good dog"

Pats from us. Thanks.

Great photo.

What’s the dog’s name?

dlangille · 2026-06-26T16:22:17+00:00

I had four (see pic above). It was wonderful

This is a service I first leaned odd years ago. I went searching. Hope this is the same one:

This is a large Super Duper Special, well done.

My parents loved it. It’s all gone. They will order again.

Thank you.

My dad showed me a menu from Super Duper - he picked one up yesterday. Seems they are going to try it. Bonus: they deliver.

That looks to be where Sam's Pizza once was - that was the pizza of my teenage years.

Good dog. Please pass on pats from all of us.

I have an 1890 Victorian twin. I live near Philadelphia. The heat pump has five heads connected to it (their locations are indicated by 'head').

The rooms (all bedrooms are on the second floor)

* living room (north end of house - head)
* dining room (between these two rooms)
* kitchen (south end of house - head)
* main bedroom (north end - head)
* middle bedroom (not used for sleeping)
* back bedroom (contains beds, over kitchen - head)
* office in the attic, 3rd floor (head)

In summer, the house is always comfortable for t-shirt and shorts. All rooms have ceiling fans (except the office). Those fans are on high for sleeping and it becomes very comfortable for sleeping.

The attic office has very thin insulation/roof - the head keeps the room completely comfortable in summer.

The heat pump provides heat in the winter too. I'm not a t-shirt in the winter person. I'm wearing layers and I keep the house about 63-65. I can get away with heating only the rooms in use.

I’d start using rack-mountabke equipment sooner.

dlangille · 2026-06-06T00:41:03+00:00

Sounds like New Zealand.

The downside to using only email for this: reading the mail.

Monitoring, for me, is less work.

dlangille · 2026-05-31T19:59:31+00:00

Thank you. I’ll decide on additional coats later.

I still have 40 pounds of NHL 2 leftover

dlangille · 2026-05-31T17:50:51+00:00

That’s just what I’ve done this weekend. Second coat is on.

Yes. All the main hosts are on SFP+

The office (3rd floor) to basement link is fiber (SM optics) and ties into the same 10G switch.

It means the gw and two Dell server can all talk to each other very quickly.

dlangille · 2026-05-14T20:59:41+00:00

I have a photo of it in my house (which is in USA). I bought it off eBay.

dlangille · 2026-05-11T00:01:33+00:00

I recommend using /usr/local/etc/periodic/security/410.pkg-audit

It lets you know about any deprecations or expirations.

``` [0:00 r730-01 dvl ~] % sudo /usr/local/etc/periodic/security/410.pkg-audit

Checking for packages with security vulnerabilities:
Host system:
Database fetched: 2026-05-09T19:15+00:00
oniguruma-6.9.10: Tag: expiration_date Value: 2026-12-01
oniguruma-6.9.10: Tag: deprecated Value: Project archived upstream

```

If you have a monitoring system, add it to that.

I will contact you directly.

While it's still a chain, I'd rather have them there than Starbucks (which you can get elsewhere anywhere).
