I need to install a new network switch for my Server LAN — it is needed for expansion, as the current switch is fully populated. I will be removing the current switch and installing the new one shortly; this will necessarily take the machines offline for a bit — shouldn't be more than 10 minutes, unless there's an issue with the new switch....

(Part of the expansion is to get Nemesis configured and in the server rack, although that isn't ready to happen yet.)

Big thunderstorms came through several hours ago, power went out, has been out for a few hours now, Dominion Virginia is aware but has no ETA. There's lots of power out in the region, and we're probably the smallest bubble, so I'm not expecting power to be restored any time soon. I just shut down the servers, and they will remain down until power returns.

On the brighter side, the new generator was delivered last weekend (WOOHOO!) -- but I need to get it connected to the NG line before we can fire it up -- and that's going to require professional installation with permits and inspections and whatnot. But we're getting close.... 👉 👈

FYI, the "Name That Server" competition has successfully completed -- we have our new server name: "Nemesis"!

The winner is Deena Harrison Duncan, who wins an all-expense-paid trip as well as a free Unsubscribe to the Cartel™ list of her choice. CONGRATULATIONS, DEENA!!

I am traveling -- departed yesterday -- and my neighbors have informed me that power is currently out in the neighborhood. Dominion Virginia has not provided an estimated time that the power will be restored -- which means either they haven't surveyed the problem yet, or they're just not planning to restore power. 😅

It figures that power goes out the day after I depart. 🙄 Let's hope the servers come up clean... 🤞

I have a few extra minutes on a flight, so I'm looking at the header-parsing error on DMARC/DKIM emails where there's quoted content on the From line....

(If you don't know what I'm talking about, then you're not one of the affected parties.)

UPDATE: Dominion Energy appears to have beaten their estimate for power restoral! I am powering the servers back up.

Happy Almost New Year!

The power is out here; it's been out for about 90 minutes, and the local power company expects power to be restored in about 6 hours (roughly 0900 ET). The UPSes are getting low, and definitely won't make it another 6 hours, so I've shut down the servers.

Even better: less than 4 hours after the projected power restoral, I'm supposed to be leaving for the airport -- so unless Dominion Energy hits its projected time, or at least something close, we might be down for an extended period..

More news as the story breaks ... -VS

Quick heads up: I'll be upgrading Hades this evening (hades.listmoms.net -- the server that hosts our production lists). It's a major OS revision upgrade, so 'fingers crossed' that it comes up clean. I'll post the apres-upgrade status in this thread.... --VS
