I've taken some notes and will probably write 8 something about it this week. 9 10 I've managed to set up my wife's synology to take data from the pi, so 11 it will shut down properly in the event of a power outage. 12 13 The idea is to do the same on the other UPS and connect the router and 14 the NAS to it. Almost done ! 15 16 On another note, I think I may have found some dependency issue on 17 devel/git port for OpenBSD. I've sent the silliest of diffs to ports@ 18 I'm not sure it's a problem really, so they may not answer my emails 19 anymore (and I can't blame them hehehe), between that and the facepalm 20 moment some weeks ago when I sent the package instead of the port for 21 the new addition I was trying to make on solderpunk's VF-1[2] ... 22 23 On my Mr. Robot episode today, what a surprise, Alf ! it made me smile, 24 really ! I like this show, it's entertaining and keeps the right amount 25 of tension, black humor, references ... 26 27 What did not make me laugh, in fact made me quite angry was Apple and 28 their friking "big brother" way of things. You buy them stuff and you 29 don't own it, same goes for Google/Android on my phone. I'm seriously 30 thinking in not buying any other smartphone when this one crashes. And 31 in this regard Apple is to me what windows was in the 90s, I'm givnig 32 support (to my wife in this case) as I did to friends and family back 33 then ... for a thign you've paid and all the problems come from the 34 walled garden, the lack of freedom and the obscure closed environment 35 ... I'm sick of these companies. 36 37 Not talking about privacy (there's none, and you should treat those 38 devices as compromised at all times), I'm talking about how they laugh 39 at your fucking face, owning your device and treating you like a 3 year 40 old ... 41 42 grrrr, did not want this to be a rant, but is kind of one ... Anyway. 43 44 It's getting late, and it's rainig again. Going to sleep with the sound 45 of rain does not sound like a bad plan :-) 46 47 ----- 48 [1] https://networkupstools.org 49 [2] https://github.com/solderpunk/VF-1 50 51 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
