I've been Sketched

Sketchy Elf, who knew?

I was invited to the Kava Bar for Open Mic Night to watch some friends perform, and one of the patrons decided to do some urban sketching. Well, they decided to use my silly self as a subject and I'm Totally happy with the outcome. Not a bad likeness.

Killed it again.

Always worth a laugh.

I sort of had a good reason this time.

Ok so running elfLand on a new server now. Because of the CentOS debacle, I'm switching to Alma Linux like pretty much everyone else.

So anyway, when I'm testing a new server build I generally move all of my crap over first to see what breaks. With BackDrop, NextCloud, WordPress, Matomo, and a few other things running on the nice new Apache/PHP/PHP-FPM/MariaDB/APCu it gets a workout.

@allpoints Yeah I was going to cancel 2 phone lines and they ended up crediting me to keep them. I'm getting a credit for MORE than I was paying for them. Doesn't even matter if I use the lines. It's so much more expensive for them to get new customers than to keep the ones they…

@feld @mdhughes @cyanautik DHCPv6 ... I don't actually use 99% of the addresses I have because I don't really need to. The only kinda tricky things I have to deal with I guess are my STUN/TURN servers (NextCloud Talk needs them for video) and my VPN (which is really straight…
