Steam family sharing

Finally got around to setting this up with a co-worker.  Its kind of a PITA to setup, but really neat when done.  Now if only I had more time to game….

IPv6

Well, I again have a dual stack network at home.  IPv4 from Charter and IPv6 through a Hurricane Electric tunnel.  I do have to say it was not as easy to setup on my EdgeRouter X as it was in pfSense but I figured it out.  I will be writing a tutorial on how I did it in a little while since I figure other people might like to know 😀

New home server

So, I’ve been wanting to build a new home server for quite a while.  Today I started planning it out, might be a while until I can build it but I can dream.  My parts list is as follows.

Will use my current HDDs and set it up as an AIO ESXi/NAS4Free Host with 2x250GB HDDs for VMS & 2x2TB HDDs for other storage.

Mall

So,

The wife and I took our son to the mall yesterday.  Not the first time we have done this but every other time he has been we placed him & his car seat into the stroller.  Yesterday we didn’t use the car seat, he loved looking around at everything in the mall as we walked around.  No, I am sad to say that the mall is getting rather empty, although they do say they have more stores coming in and the soft pretzel place will be coming back.  I hope the mall fills up just because its a great place to take him on a hot & stormy day (or a blizzard in the winter).  Also, they have officially announced that the former TGI Fridays location in the mall lot will be replaced with a Red Robin.  Very excited about that, I’ve always wanted to eat at one but never been able to.

SSL

OK, I officially hate SSL.  I just spent close to an hour trying to get the SSL trust chain working correctly for this site, and I still can’t.  Not sure if its something I’m doing wrong, something that Virtualmin is doing wrong (the control panel I use) or something that StartSSL is doing wrong.  At any rate, I don’t care anymore right now and I only really use it for my admin interface anyway.

Dumb stuff people have asked/done before and after my wife and I had our son

Just thought I’d share some of the stupid things people have asked and/or done since my wife and I announced we were having a kid and after he was born.

 

  • What are you going to do if he’s allergic to your cats?
    • I replied “Get rid of the kid”, no one got the joke……
  • Is he a good baby?
    • Wife always wants to say “Nope, I’m going to return him”
  • Can I hold him?
    • Sure, I’ll let a complete stranger hold him.  NOT!!!!
  • What’s that white stuff on your shirt?
    • Hmm, I have a baby, its probably spit up.

I’m sure there is more, I just can’t think of it right now.

Ugh

Well,

 

I reinstalled the OS on my VPS and had everything backed up.  Problem is, the restore of the backups did not work.  Means I get to re-setup everything 🙁  Should be a fun time that will take me a while to do…….
