See https://wp.me/p4spp6-ih for part 1 I started off by seeing how I could get the best from using the fibreglass mast in the middle of the back fence. Unfortunately, the internal angle would be too small for a dipole erected in a horizontal Vee, so that left me with 13m to play with. Not much. I… Continue Reading
We moved to the current QTH in 2009. We thought that we’d be here for about 10 years and then move on once I retired. As such, I didn’t take too much notice of the suitability of the QTH for amateur radio. Big mistake. The QTH is in a lovely location, but it’s hemmed in… Continue Reading
I’ve created a playlist now and added two more videos showing the tools I use and the situation after adding the DIP sockets to the board.
As well as being a keen constructor, I am also a member of the Shefford & District Amateur Radio Society (SADARS). Recently, some of us decided to piggy-back on a construction project being run by the Norfolk Amateur Radio Club and build the QCX CW Transceiver kit produced by QRP Labs. To assist some of… Continue Reading
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 Back on Deneb I followed a similar procedure with the pools on deneb. The only change was that instead of running the second snapshot plus send/recv task with the system running normally, I ran it with the system running in no install/recovery mode. That way no services or zones… Continue Reading
Part 1, Part 2 It was now time to try the same recipe on the main server: deneb On Deneb root@deneb ~ $ zpool status pool: zones state: ONLINE scan: scrub repaired 0 in 7h21m with 0 errors on Fri May 19 18:22:48 2017 config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM zones ONLINE 0 0 0… Continue Reading
See here for part 1 On Eridani Once the initial send/recv had completed, I did another snapshot and sent the incremental data just in case anything had changed. root@eridani ~ $ zfs snapshot -r zones@txfr2 root@eridani ~ $ zfs send -R -i txfr zones@txfr2 | pv | zfs recv tempzone Lastly, I promoted the incremental… Continue Reading
Introduction Back in 2016 I bought a Supermicro server and installed SMARTOS to create a very capable home server. I named this server Deneb. See my posts on my new ZFS home server for more details. Some time later, I bought an old Dell T310 to act as a backup device for Deneb. I named… Continue Reading
Part four of the series on my development of a Raspberry Pi based dashcam. See this post for part one, this post for part two and this post for part three. It’s been a while since I posted, but the holidays got in the way. Anyhow, progress has been made and I am now in… Continue Reading
