During today's #videochat with #sonOne, we talked about network stuff (CLNS, IS-IS, OSPF, token ring, FDDI, the OSI protocol stack, TCP/IP, IPX/SPX), job-hunting, updates on #sonTwo's work status and #Daddy_A's birthday ( did I mention that "we" ordered his NAS box? ), vehicle repairs, Star Wars/Mandalorian, imported Japanese-market Transformers toys, and idiotic people whose b…

http://status.hackerposse.com/url/21060 Almost 1/3 of cumulative confirmed #COVID-19 cases are in the US. Part of that is just “free dumb” people who object so strongly to someone else telling them what to do that they endanger themselves and others by disobeying. Also, as I told someone earlier today (US-Pacific), bosses/managers can and will overrule people’s common s…

#sonOne tells me one of their dogs would not go into the backyard for four hours after a crew was there repairing a damaged cable. The dog just does not like to meet new people.

Talking about ancient network technologies with #sonOne. FDDI, token ring, CLNS and ISIS, IPX/SPX. Most of these were just a chapter in a networking book for me, but his prior employers have actually used some of these.

http://status.hackerposse.com/url/21030 maybe this one. The two older boys have some professional use for the devices along with being the family Plex server. #Daddy_A does not. He’s probably going to be off for at least three more years (until #Little_Girl_A3 is in first grade), assuming the next back surgery goes well. The DS220j is probably a step down from the DS218 m…

https://www.amazon.com/Synology-bay-DiskStation-DS218-Diskless/dp/B077PJX8TH Wondering whether I can get #sonOne and #sonTwo to contribute toward getting this for #Daddy_A. Either way, he'll have to come up with his own HDDs / SSDs. For me, the NAS is more of an irritant than anything else, because I really only want remote storage / backup ... a network file system, not an app platform atop remote storage. But I'm one of the few who feel this way.

Speaking of gardens, #sonOne bought strawberry plants. Strawberries ???? are #GD2’s favorite food. #sonTwo planted some veggies, but I’m not sure exactly what he planted. I have something like thirty packets of seed to plant ... and I’m way behind schedule, because it is already too warm for certain plants. ( #Daddy_A talked about a garden, but I have heard nothing more…

Not calling #sonOne today for our weekly #videochat because I want #GD1 and #GD2 to focus on their mom.

I remember spending many afternoons with #sonOne at some cheesy arcade, playing these games.

#GS3 got his hands on a ball-point pen, so he's got a home-made tattoo on his leg. He had to lift his leg and show his grandpa his work. He also drew on a piece of cardboard, which he also showed me. He really enjoys scribbling. We'll see if this leads to a long-term affection for writing / drawing / painting. #sonTwo is getting fewer hours at $TEMP_JOB, so he's looking forward…

#sonOne is getting fewer hours at $TEMP_JOB, so he's looking forward to more time to study. It looks like it may be June before $MAIN_EMPLOYER reopens and calls them back to work.

Old best friend's birth anniversary today. His sound advice preserved my relationship with #sonOne during the teen years and set the stage for today's close relationship.
The friend passed some years ago.

My 12 year old ( #GD1 ) and 8 year old ( #GD2 ) granddaughters were animated and playful today. I suppose it means they went to bed on time last night. They usually stay up late on Saturday and then are sluggish all day Sunday, which is when I have my weekly #videochat with them and their dad #sonOne.

#sonOne's $EMPLOYER was purchased by another firm earlier this year. So far, they haven't done any staff cuts, but he's preparing for LAE (life after $EMPLOYER).
-
#sonOne’s $EMPLOYER was purchased by a competitor, but he believes that he has a good chance of being kept because he works hard and knows his stuff. He sometimes writes tutorials for their NOC staff. #sonTwo is delivering #pizza and working at a large retailer ... 60+ hours / week ... almost making what his job paid. #Daddy_A is the stay-at-home dad ... his wife had only…

Interesting conversation about Western Digital "Red" HDDs for #NAS devices http://status.hackerposse.com/url/20845 ... he links to [1] in the OP. "Western Digital, Seagate and Toshiba have begun selling SMR drives without labeling them as such, thus revealing a large controversy, as SMR drives are much slower in some circumstances than PMR drives.[9] These practices were used t…

#sonOne bought a single 12GB drive for his NAS, so he's finally putting it to use, months after his birthday. He installed Plex (so he took it off the machine that previously ran it), so they can stream TV and movies inside the home network.
-
No answer when I called #sonOne today for our weekly #videochat. I guess I could have called one of his daughters, but I didn't. My daughter-in-law's birthday is sometime this month, so they may be celebrating.
-
Still trying to get #sonTwo and #Daddy_A together to test multipoint videochat and audiochat on #Wire, #Jitsi_Meet, #Nextcloud_Talk (whenever I get that one set up). So far, I have one-to-one chats with sonTwo plus his wife and #GS3 almost daily; one-to-one chats with #sonOne plus #GD1 and #GD2 (wife usually appears briefly) every week, and one-to-one chats with Daddy A plus wi…

#GD1 stayed up all night last night. Hopefully, #sonOne and his wife were able to keep the 12 year old up long enough today so she doesn't wake up in the middle of the night. She has (online) school tomorrow.
