Stephen Sekula (steve)'s status on Sunday, 08-Oct-2023 07:40:12 EDT Stephen Sekula Yay! My # PeerTube site is back! That second clone was painless and the server was back online 15 minutes after swapping out the power supplies. https:// media.cooleysekula.net -
Stephen Sekula (steve)'s status on Sunday, 08-Oct-2023 07:30:16 EDT Stephen Sekula My # PeerTube site, media.cooleysekula.net, will continue to be down for a little while. During a strange and exceptionally long # CloneZilla disk copy, the power supply on the machine actually completely failed! Luckily, I had retained a spare power supply for just such an emergency, and the system is back up and cloning again. Clone is going much faster this time, at least. -

Stephen Sekula (steve)'s status on Saturday, 07-Oct-2023 07:05:13 EDT Stephen Sekula In case anyone needs to know: media.cooleysekula.net is down for some disk maintenance. That system has proven resilient against well-behaved hard drives. :-) A painfully slow partition clone has delayed bring the system back up. Will update again once it is back. -

Stephen Sekula (steve)'s status on Friday, 06-Oct-2023 21:40:12 EDT Stephen Sekula Hot take: I think Dave Filoni just setup the “Heir to the Empire” trilogy using the “Ahsoka” series.

Stephen Sekula (steve)'s status on Friday, 06-Oct-2023 20:45:12 EDT Stephen Sekula From petergleick@fediscience.org on Mastodon: As more mainstream media open accounts here on Mastodon, try to follow them. As they build up audiences here, it will make it easier for them to abandon that Xhit site over there. Does anyone have a list of good media accounts here? -
Stephen Sekula (steve)'s status on Thursday, 05-Oct-2023 07:05:19 EDT Stephen Sekula The past few days at # QueensUniversity have been remarkable, both for @ SNOLAB activities and for me professionally. First, it is ALWAYS excellent to touch base with colleagues, especially students and post-docs, where they are. Great conversations about # darkmatter , job hunting, inclusivity, strategies for navigating the research environment, and even # imposterism . … -
