    So yesterday I posted that my recent FreeNAS rebuild had affected the site, and discouraged or stopped the traffic to the site.  From my testing, I was receiving 404 (not found) errors on all links, and the pictures and attachments were broken.  This was resulting in web crawlers being unable to find and catalog content,…

    Perhaps I am overly obsessive, but since I am newer blogger, I tend to check my daily stats with some regularity.  More from a sense of small accomplishment, rather than any expectation of a growing audience.  However, since I rebuilt my FreeNAS server, which meant a restore of the site, my visit count has crashed…

    The last few days have been rather hectic, as shows in my recent posts – my focus has been a bit all over.  Work has been rather crazy, several major outages and other critical work, resulting in long hours.  And we have had a resurgence in interest in Ark: Survival, starting from scratch on the…

    Unfortunately, timing and events conspired, and I broke my recent string of consistent posting each weekday yesterday.  As such, my count gets to reset back to 0, and I start again.  Overall, not a bad run, I think I managed nearly 2 months of consistent little articles, which for me is a personal best.  And…

    Between rebuilding my FreeNAS server, editing gaming videos, traveling for work, and various other activities, my schedule is rather full these days.  The latest challenge is an ask from the Cub Scouts to build a functional set of “rubber band” style catapults for use during Day Camp this year.  Since that is rapidly approaching, and…

    This listing will end up rather technical, but it is mainly for my own use, to catalog my current FreeNAS configuration and hardware specs.  If you find it useful to model after, so much the better.  As for general performance, I have been very happy with FreeNAS.  As a comparison, we as a family routinely…
