Not much this week

Well, I did not get much done last week.  Just watching videos on sysmon, powershell and linux commands.

I still have not replaced my hdd in my mini server with a ssd.  I will complete that this week for sure, lol!  I had a scare today with running system updates on that box and it hosing up trying to update Jellyfin.  It prompted my to reboot when I saw the error message in the logs but that did not work, uh oh!  I had to take a deep breath and test the rest of my services running on that box and all was good but Jellyfin would not come up after several minutes.  So, I reran the system update command and that seems to have fixed it.  Whew!!!!

I have a backup of the database that I have not tested but this week would have sucked if I had to go that method.  I should switch it to a docker container, so it is easier to backup but oh well.  I think I need to spin up docker containers for plex and jellyfin and migrate my stuff to them.  It would have to be on the r610 in proxmox.  Hearing about several tools for pentesting online that I need to look into soon.  Learning a lot as of late.

Happy Tuesday 😀

Last Week Very Interesting

Okay

I did not get my mini server hdd replaced nor wazuh setup last week but I did get some other important things accomplished.

Installed a couple of services on my mini server ( iperf3 and drawio ), watched a lot of videos on setting up wazuh, winget, powershell/linux tutorials.  I worked on setting on a hacking lab on both of my laptops using virtualbox.  I also learned something important about using clonezilla, a 500 gig SSD and a 480 gig SSD are not workable if you are going from 500 gig hdd to 480 ssd and I have to remember to use gparted when I go from a 256 gig ssd to a 480 gig ssd.  I need to find a disk copying tool that is less complex.  Live and learn🤔 

Happy Monday 😀!

Must do better this week

Okay

I did not get everything done I scheduled to get done but I did get some things worked out.  I think I know why I am not able to print from a windows computer to my print server.  Needless to say, windows users take a lot for granted!  Microsoft literally holds your hands when it comes to setting up devices in their environment while linux expects you to just know how hardware, software and the kernel interact in it's environment; but I did shoot myself in the foot by going headless for ubuntu server.  I probably would not had a problem if I had went gui with the ubuntu server install.  Oh well, the benefits far out weight the pain points using it headless.  I may be able to get the printing issue resolved today.  Also need to work on the HDD upgrade for the mini server.  SSD came in lastnight and I will try to get done in a day or so.

Here's to a new week!

Happy Monday 😀
