A busy day
It's a busy day today.
First off, the power shut off long enough for the computers to be shut down
but short enough that maybe the UPS (Uninterruptable Power Supply)s would not
have drained completely. Sigh. And 10 minutes after the power is restored,
I've already blocked half a dozen IP (Internet Protocol) addresses trying to
log in via ssh.
I also received three bug reports for my Motorola 6809 emulator [1]. This is
the first time in eight years I've received a bug report for that particular
project. It's nice to know that someone found the project useful.
I"ve also become aware of a potential email issue with my server that
probably started when I last had issues with email [2]. Briefly, when my
server (a virtual server which I think is part of the cause) makes an
outgoing connection, the other end sees the IP address of the physical host
my server is on, not the IP address assigned to my server. This has some
serious implications with email and I need to get it resolved. Sigh.
I'm also planning tomorrow's D&D (Dungeons and Dragons) session. We're also
going to try using Zoom [3] for hosting the session as Roll20 [4] is not
quite stable nor fast to use. Roll20 also seems to suck up all the bandwidth
here at Chez Boca which I find annoying.
And I finally checked—it's only been 61 days since the quarantine has
started. Just two months. Man, it feels like it's been forever.
Update on Wednesday, June 10^TH, 2020
I solved the issue with email [5]. Finally!
