As I blogged about at the start of the year, I revealed that I have cancer. At the start of February I noticed a lump on my lump. This eventually turned into two lumps on my lump and was starting to give me some pain so I was called in for PET and MRI scans. Last week I was given the results of these scans and sadly, the cancer has spread from the single lymph node to my shoulder, spine and liver.
I recently posted about that my ERLite died. Well, it turns out that the flashing green light generally means a power supply issue. EDIT The ERLite is about 3 and a half years old as I’ve had a few people ask me that.
Not having a spare 12V 1A adapter with the right barrel made testing this pretty darn hard and desperate times convinced me to buy the USG (which is still working like a champ, no regrets here!
So my trusty EdgeRouter LITE died a sad death recently. No data on the console and the ethernet ports flash green and then stick amber. This of course meant this site was down for a few days.
This is a 3 port router. Each port handles 1 Gigabits of traffic. It’s perfect for connecting your ISP with your LAN with a spare port left over. This is a router for technical people, it’s not for others as the setup is tricky.
Let’s face it, 2020 was not a great year for many people due to the Covid-19 virus. For me, it wasn’t much of a change as I’ve worked at home for many years which has spared me much of the rigours of Covid.
At the time, Abbey was a front-line worker at a care home and a supermarket. Luckily her job allowed her to help home school the kids during the lockdown allowing me to work and then look after the kids while she worked nights and weekends.
GoAccess is an open-source real-time web log analyzer. It sports curses and web interfaces. It looks really pretty and I like that :)
Upstream has already accepted my patch to allow a build on NetBSD which is nice.
However, there is still a serious issue - GoAccess burns a LOT of CPU. With older versions it wasn’t too onerous, but now it uses 4 threads and CPU was going through the roof on my poor web server.
