I finally got a few hours to recombobulate the site for reference. A lot of the 'board unavailable' screens should be reduced.
Most of it was php-fpm's fault although I think I might ditch MySQL and see if there is a SQLlite mod I can use. SQL is easily 30% of the cloud node compute time.

Shinobi.. no its not an anime.
Got the house set up with a Shinobi DVR system and some cameras. Neighborhood went to shit in the last year.. lots of people moved and now most of the folks seem to be renters.
The Shinobi system is kinda freemium. Its based on OSS so you get the code, but how many people know how to program video ...

Found an open box UPS at local BB. Good deal, $60 under retail 'excellent' condition.
Pay online, go to store. Take it out the box and instantly realized that something was wrong.

I hope MSC isn't using AI for its shipping
Look at this complete garbage shipping quote from MSC for a 6in SPI outiside mic:
So I can pay EITHER $9.80 OR $129.60 and get the item on the same day.
Let me see... what makes the most sense

Linux sucks even more than it did last time...
Certbot has changed yet again... meaning all the scripts and configs from the previous method need modification because some asshole devs need to pad their resume with the latest language or container.

Carvana > Carmax by $1400 !
I could have gotten more if I sold it private party but there is no way I wanted to deal with idiots on FB marketplace or people in general.
So I got online buy out quotes from both Carvana (the car elevator people) and Carmax.. the exact same car was valued $1400 higher by Carvana.

Board changes
A few things I am trying to get the system to run on a much smaller server:
Timeouts are now just 5 minutes. Post fast.
The number of database connections is very limited to conserve RAM, if you get a 'board unavailable' message blame the freaking search engines for hogging the few connections I ...

Re: Holy shit I got it working!
It will go up and down as the current cloud server is 1/10th the HDD space of the old server... then one with 13 year old software.
Right now log files are killing me as every program wants to spit out tons of inane drivel. Just had to tweak the mysql config as the SSD was full of useless bots ...

Re: Just in.. TUP manual photographed!
I might still have the photos I took from the Army War Collage in Carlisle. If I have it I'll try and work on it or even just post the raw photos.
Its a very interesting book... goes along with the CCKW assembly video in France on youtube.

Well the archives are back. I had to fight phpBB3, Mysql, php, CentOS Stream and a dozen angry skidgets to get this shit working.
Things may still be broken but its a LLLOOOONNNNGGGG jump from a 12 year old version of software to today.

Linux desktop is still garbage... its been 20 years!
I needed to do some simple tasks.. but my KVM OS is way out of date (CentOS6).
I download CentOS10 and think that the GUI *might* be faster than trying to remember commands... NOPE.
Its been 20 fucking year, Linux is still hot fucking garbage on the desktop.

So Sweetwater is out to fuck you now... gotta read the not very fine print:

For a 2% FEE on the TOTAL amount you can save on interest. So you want $5k of new-schnizzle DJ gear? Sure, its 0% as long as you pre-pay Sweetwater $100 on top of everything.... plus if you don't make the payoff ...
