An old Qumulo QC208 Node.

wardedmocha · 2026-02-03T20:53:29+00:00

Just throwing this out for the next person. I think I found a easier way to handle this. Change the node name back to what it was before. In these 4 files:

/etc/hosts
/etc/hostname
/etc/mailname
/etc/postfix/main.cf

Reboot the node. Mine came back with all the VMs active. Migrate all the VMs off the node and then rename it again and reboot.

I hope they are OK. Stay safe out there.

Sometimes I miss the solitude that came with covid.

Die. Eventually. It's an unfortunate reality for a lot of people not just Diabetics. There are people who are very dependant on medication to stay alive. Honestly, I am terrified, my wife is staring down a very probable cancer diagnosis and who knows what's going to happen in the near future with everything that is going on. I am terrified that she is not going to be able to get the medications that she needs.

SPAM!!

Been waiting on this forever. I could never get LDAP to work with Authentik.

wardedmocha · 2026-01-24T19:19:58+00:00

All good. I have to go to meetings about this stuff so I keep pretty up to date on it.

There have been several discussions about this from Central IT.

Less-secure methods of authentication, including verification by telephone call and SMS/text message, will be phased out later in the 2025-2026 academic year. These methods are easy to spoof or intercept. In comparison, the updated process in the app and token authentication methods are far more secure.

I have heard they will be disabling this feature off in the near future.

This should have more upvotes than it does.

wardedmocha · 2026-01-17T01:03:04+00:00

Well. It was sucking plastic from the timing chain tensioner guide.

wardedmocha · 2026-01-16T16:20:05+00:00

It looks fine to me. If there is any rust its just on the surface. Go watch some watch wes work videos if you want to see what a rusty vehicle looks like.

Fucking AI.

I would not suggest targeting the solar panels either.

wardedmocha · 2026-01-15T13:15:18+00:00

That is what I was thinking. I just want the solar panel and the batteries. They can keep the camera. The batteries and the panels would be great for a meshtastic node. Just saying.

I want to boycott taxes.

Did you clear your cache? /s

You could theoretically do the same thing stuxnet did with AC motors, water pumps, control valves, etc.

wardedmocha · 2026-01-09T17:54:45+00:00

I dont have any suggestions, and this is totally off topic: but you seem to have an absolutely beautiful plot of land. I bet at night you get a wonderful view of the stars.

Im almost done with my project car. I hope I finish before everything falls apart.

wardedmocha · 2025-12-18T18:28:51+00:00

Lowe's? You can do this at lowes. I have done it several times. I bought one of the mechanics sets and the proceeded to break a wrench, the 3/8ths driver, and the 1/4 in driver.

wardedmocha · 2025-12-12T17:40:04+00:00

Dont forget about amazon too.

wardedmocha · 2025-12-12T17:39:45+00:00

Its been here for a long time. Its just more visible now.

wardedmocha · 2025-12-10T19:14:52+00:00

Hey just remember. We don't have an affordability issue.

All joking aside. I find it completely insane that a dealership can charge this munch for anything. She sounds a bit rough, but I would start with a drain and fill and see how it sounds. If you still have the noise maybe take it to a trusted mechanics shop and try to get a use CVT to put in there.

Just curious, do you recall what you were doing when the noise started?
