	Here are my RetroChallenge 2024 updates for days III - VIII

	RC2024 DAY III: No Updates

	RC2024 Day IV:
	System booted fine, with expected, "The IDPROM contents are invalid"
	error.
	Invoked the Incantation of HostID from the ether and will run if
	necessary if Ultra 10 loses power.
	Hostname is still voltesv
	voltesv is attached to UPS.
	LAB: 1623 81F 58% RH

	RC2024 DAY V:

	Since I am not home, I am not able to work in the lab on the Sun
	machines, but I can do some reading. SDF user, ffog, had mentioned
	Tribblix during OCC 2023. I had made a note to look into this
	after OCC 2023.

	"Tribblix is an open source operating system created by Peter
	Tribble. Based on illumos, it blends a retro style with modern
	components."

	I am thinking that this OS could be something I could explore
	during RetroChallenge 2024. Hopefully I can find a hard drive that
	is compatible with the Ultra 10 so I can keep my current Solaris
	install. I'm not sure if the Solaris CDs I have are still OK to
	use and I don't really want to spend too much time fussing with
	looking for drives and messing too much with installation. Maybe
	this OS can be installed on the Netra X1.

	Looking into Tribblix also had me checking out illumos and other
	related OS's. At least there are still other options for this
	aging hardware.

	RC2024 DAY VI: A W A Y

	RC2024 DAY VII: Busy, no dice.

	RC2024 DAY VIII:

	Powered off Ultra 10 from the power supply switch previously and ran
	into NVRAM issue.
	NOTE: Use "power-off" at the OK prompt to power off instead of switch.
	ERROR: The IDPROM contents are invalid.
	FIX: Invoked Incantation of HostID from the ether.

	Re-orienting myself to CDE.

	AUDIO: Audio appears to be working. Was not tested last round.
	Java Media Player - streaming aNONradio
	ADDED: External Desktop Speakers (Cambridge Soundworks)
	ISSUE: voltesv cannot run ssh2.
	ADDED: ssh1 has been temporarily enabled on a Raspberry Pi 2 server
	on the network for access to remote systems.
	TESTING: Power Consumption of Ultra 10 (voltesv)
	Ultra consumes 2 watts when powered off.
	Around 61 watts when running CDE.
	Around 59 watts when monitor is off.
	Highest use is 64 watts
	AUDIO: OpenMic on aNONradio
	SOCIAL: SDF COM[MODE] - Open VoIP participation, lain, riding metro in
	New Delhi, misc COM[MODE] banter.
	CONFIG: Fussing with Netra X1 LOM port.
	ISSUE: Looking for missplaced console cable :/
	RESEARCH: Sun Netra X1 docs.
	LAB: 2355 81F 40% RH
	POWER CONSUMPTION: 0.59KWh @ 10h05m
