Teamviewer replacement
Running a bit late today, so posting late. Been distracted, running into issues with my long-term go-to for remote management, Teamviewer. While trying to update various computers around the house, I started encountering a 5-minute time limit, apparently due to concerns I might be using the software for business purposes. Although I do not use…
End of Nextcloud

by
As commented yesterday, I have been undergoing another shift in my home server and the capabilities, to try to improve the overall performance and reliability. As part of this, I ended up trying to rebuild the Nextcloud personal cloud server, so that it would be more efficient. Previously, it was sharing a 300 GB VM…
Shuffling the cards again
Spending some more time, re-juggling my website configuration and features, this time to move back to a hosted service. I have found that recent activity on my home server has fundamentally overwhelmed my little WordPress server, so I have had frequent registered outages.

Nextcloud fixed (again)
Seems that each time I post tech problems I manage to fix them shortly after, which has held true for the Nextcloud server. Shortly after I posted yesterday, I had a breakthrough and the service is now running again, and successfully with ssl encryption, from the same server as my wordpress site. A quick update…
Laptop upgrade

Spending the evening working on the wife’s laptop, to upgrade the factory stock SSD drive from 512 GB to a new 1 TB SSD drive. Most of the effort is relatively easy (cloning the drive), but the real challenge will be the actual replacement. For various reasons, laptops these days no longer have the “easy”…
Another rebuild

by
In my continuing quest to fine tune my home computer network, I am tackling another reorganization. Currently, this website and some other functionality is residing on an Oracle VM Virtual Box configuration, running several virtual machines which each in turn run Ubuntu. It dawned on me, that the same computer which runs the virtual box…
