My Mental Health Journey

  • Weekend Plans

    Yesterday, a kind elderly gentleman was good enough to give me 4 HP Compaq DC5700 machines. Yes, they’re old and well-used and only two of them work but I’m hoping to take parts from the two non-functional ones and build two fairly capable ones to serve as a router and a DNS and very small web server. I believe this will be totally doable. In between this project, I have to be there for my girlfriend because she will be recovering from oral surgery and that will be a miserable affair for her.

    I will have to get her some more Delta 9 gummies for pain relief and I am wondering if they make a canabanoid oil that can be rubbed on gums to reduce pain and soreness. I guess an internet search is in order for this one. We learn something new everyday.

    While my girlfriend recovers, I am also going to do some serious DNS learning because I will be running my own root DNS servers. The concept will be entirely new to me. I like learning so I will be enjoying this. I will also enjoy the challenges of building route origin authentication tables.

    This is going to be a short blog today as there isn’t as much to say. The VPN I am designing is also going to have private, secure voice and video capability with FreePBX. It won’t have a gateway to the public switched telephone network though.
