Ugh… it’s 2024 already ?

Yes, it’s February already, you silly…
Every year I hope I will have more motivation and time to update this blog, but most of the time, as you can see from the lack of interesting posts, this turns out not to be the case.
But still, I very much hope I CAN find time to update this website more often this year.

The USB modem writeup is still in my TODO list as well as a writeup on my adventures with the Raspberry Pi 5 and one other ARM board which the Raspberry Pi 5 replaced.
Keep checking back this site !

P.S.: I see there’s interest in keeping “pmagic” (you know what I mean) images up to date, I will try doing that but I can’t promise anything.
There are way too many thoughts in my head and some of them tend to get lost.

Zebra server downtime

Zebra is down due to power maintenance on the site. Will update when everything comes back online.

BTW, sorry for lack of posts. This site is not abandoned. The USB modem Linux box howto is still on my TODO list.

Zebra server is down due to power maintenance on site. It should be back shortly. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Blog update: recent instability

Sorry for the recent instability of Zebra and Raspis servers. There was a blackout in Zebra location twice yesterday. With a spectacular blinking lightshow before the first blackout (nearby HV transformer literally caught fire !). Thankfully, nothing was fried.

Today there’s something going on in Raspis location (which has been recently upgraded, more on that later) and now it has gone down. Will update on that in a separate post.

Again, I’m really sorry for instability. Unfortunately, there are things that are outside of my control.

BTW, Happy new year. Better late than never. No new year’s post this year, sorry.

I will post a news update soon. There have been a lot of changes since my last update post and an update is long overdue.

UPDATE: Raspis came back online. The system was rebooted, so it was likely a power failure. This time in another location.

Zebra is offline

Zebra just went down, not sure what happened, but a power failure is likely. I will update.

Zebra is down

Zebra is down right now due to hardware issues. Will update when issues are fixed.

UPDATE 10:00 PM EEST: All services restored.

Raspis is down

Raspis server is down due to power maintenance on site. Sorry for inconvenience. Will update when power comes back up.

Comments have been fixed

Thanks to one fellow user (whose name I will not mention) for informing me that the comment function was broken. This was due to a problem in server configuration which has now been fixed.

I’ve also added an extra captcha field (in form of a simple math expression) to help reduce comment spam because it seems that spambots can easily beat reCaptcha checks.

Zebra power maintenance

Zebra server is down due to power maintenance on the site. Sorry for inconvenience.

Zebra is down
