This, this is a modern problem, and the modern solution is a deeper rack that costs way more which I cannot afford. Rack units are a standard but not rack depth, huge oversight in my opinion. Worse is the fact this rack has no zero unit mounts for the A/B PDUs in rear, which then eats depth.

The server I'm installing in my data center for a friend/customer arrived today. Now to install the gum sticks for the OS on the BOSS card.

I spent my 3 day weekend swimming and kayaking with friends. It was the best weekend I've had in 7 years.

Upgrades people, upgrades! Slowly acquiring all my hardware and building the infrastructure. I also have site-to-site communications with my data center for services that assist safety like the dispatcher software for the radios. Still much to do.

More screenshots of my project I have been working on to polish up and finish over the last few months. Mainly been focusing on bugs and small tweaks to the code. I did get hardware encryption working now.

No one else usually pulls the intermodal, so I like to get my three engines to pull the full thing around the full layout show loop during open house.

My actual reaction one day when I had gotten food and went straight to work for a 12-hour night shift. This is the exact scene that came to mind almost immediately after.

Been working on a personal project and finally got message compose working!

Well that's not supposed to happen.

Added the licensing needed for my new repeater so I can send messages to the radios from an API I created. Found a couple of open-source code to reference and create a Golang based REST API service. It first checks if a radio is present before sending the message from the queue addressed to it.

For the passed year or two now, I had been working on tape software to manage my archive. Out of all the enterprise options I found in my search, I made something better. It works so well, and I didn't have to spend thousands on licensing fees for something that didn't have what I wanted.

My precious has arrived. Ordered a brand new Motorola SLR 5700.

Today's fun little project is this Axis Network speaker I purchased Monday. I created a quick and dirty Golang program to use the SIP feature on the speaker to call it and send any audio input using ffmpeg to convert it on the fly for RTP audio.

Today at the club we had our 2nd ops session. It went pretty well. I ran my two Gevo's from Milwaukee to Green Bay pulling a decently long Z-train.

For those of us with social anxiety in public.

My new R7 on the left and the XPR's fully charged and loaded with my company codeplug. 😎 #mototrbo

57_Wolve @anomalous.dev · 06/01/2026

Someone didn't wipe the codeplug before refurbishing these radios to new condition. Got two "new" XPR's to have as loaner radios. #motorola #xpr7550e #commercialradio

Hears the sound of a bad tape... Checks report after transferring data... Damnit! It definitely shouldn't sound like a film projector LMAO. Still usable, I just may not exactly get the full capacity out of it.

@furfest.org was a blast. Now to recover from PCD and wait for @fursquared.com #MFF #MFF2025

Been watching the space weather since 8 AM yesterday since I have the pager this week. Yikes! This is just the sideswiping from what missed hitting us directly. 🫠

Someone needs to make a gag in a movie, but instead of a jumpscare it's the fucking cat behind the damn curtain and you're just about to step forward while avoiding the cat. My corners report is going to be death by cat because I fucking tripped over Sheldon for the 18-hundredth fucking time.

Time to digitize some tapes older than myself my mother recorded for me.

57_Wolve @anomalous.dev · 25/07/2025

Mmmm, yes. Modern problems require modern solutions. Can't monitor the $120,000 generator because the monitoring PLC is a relic from the past and can't be updated? Easy! Find the dry contacts and monitor the status directly. ⚡ Service manuals are useful for more than just maintenance and repair. 😎

Out with the old and in with the new. Much needed environmental systems upgrades. I have now disturbed years of dust that is probably older than me.

I always wonder how some furries make all these cool furry friends. I'm just that nerdy furry who would rather stay in my den and do cool things that others might appreciate too. Especially when most of it is intangible and hidden from view. Genuine connections are few and far between.

Can Hurricane Electric and Cogent please peer already. I want my full v6 tables and you're hurting V6 adoption.

My favorite dessert. Creme Brulee. I know how to make it in my sleep at this point.

I'll make the both of you fit even if It requires large amounts of dielectric lubricant. *pop* Ah there we go. Two P40's all snug in a 1U server.

🎶 Music to my ears. 😊 The data is pulled from an HDD backed RAID-0. A bit of a bottleneck from the source.

*snifffff* Ah, yes. That new tape smell. Just as I remember.

My quotes printer has been strangely on point the last few days. The top is today, the bottom is yesterday.

Me trying to move my business forward after how much I've already spent trying, or as one movie elegantly put it, "Never give up! Never surrender!" I made a job that runs before work to give little daily motivation.

57_Wolve @anomalous.dev · 13/01/2025

Ah yes, printers. Always something with these things.

Trying to teach myself more Golang this weekend because I love using this programming language. I made this Epson TM-88IV network receipt printer its own REST API service. Think I'll use it as a Zabbix alert log of critical outages for now.

I have arrived in Chicago for #MFF2024! The first stop is to get some stuff done in the data center. Been needing to install new SSDs and some other little things to improve performance and such.
