Sleep 0330 to 0730, 0830 to 1130 (7 hours)

• DS joined Discord last night. He's like a week or two from finishing his hike. Then he and Julie will drive around the country for a few weeks.
• DDO with just DW and I. Last night we did Search and Rescue which is the last Legendary that I don't have a Last Played record. Tonight we did Through the Tulgey Wood and One Dame Thing After Another which I haven't played since Nov 2022 and DW said he never played -- could be true I know I played them with DS on Heroic and probably with CSr.

Sleep 0230 to 0900 (6-1/2 hours)

• I decided to do MBP Time Machine backups to my Airport Time Capsule now that it has SMB 4 support. Even though the Airport is connected to the WiFi router via Ethernet Cat 5e cable (so it should be a 1000 Gb connection) the upload speed is about 8 MB per second. Several days ETA for the first backup (I excluded many folders that are either already backed up to the QNAP (i.e. TV and Music) or, for games, that I can easily reinstall to bring it down to about 850 GB to backup).

Sleep 0345 to 1215 (8-1/2 hours)

• Went to Kaiser San Mateo and got two vaccinations. Pretty easy process to both schedule and do the appointment.
• I do feel like I'm getting sick though but that's expected.

• Felt pretty down today up through going to sleep.
• Roger wants me to call project management company since I know about what's been going on with our current court yard testing. It's a logical decision but still sucks for me. I happened to be here therefore I spent two days helping therefore I know what's been going on so I'm the subject expert therefore I get more tasks. Actually I guess kind of like a normal job except I'm not getting paid. This is because our HOA manager had to take bereavement leave.

Sleep 0615 to 1415 (8 hours)

• Woke up and feel ok, though my shoulder still hurts (Tdap vaccine side-effect).
• QNAP. Finally tested all the drives. Now I can use the last slot for a 14TB drive and add mirroring to that storage pool.
• First Time Machine backup to my Airport Time Capsule finally finished. Good thing that if it's interrupted it'll continue from where it left off since it's backing up a snapshot not the current file system. I set it to daily since I expect incremental backups will take an hour or two. And then if I ever have to restore... But I will keep weekly backups on regular external hard drives.
• Anyway that first backup is 838.35 GB. With the Mac mini backups that still leaves 2 TB free on the Time Capsule drive. Once that HD drives I can finally retire the Time Capsule. Not sure if I'd move daily backups to QNAP -- it does have an option to set a share for Time Machine backups.

Sleep 0515 to 1145 (6-1/2 hours).

• Looking to see if QNAP has a wiki server I can install. App Center, their official "App Store" though it's not really a store but I guess just official QNAP apps and vetted 3rd party apps, doesn't have one. I did a search which pointed me to a Reddit thread which pointed me to a blog page, Configure MediaWiki on QNAP with Docker. MediaWiki is fairly heavyweight so not crazy about going that route, though I'm sure there is a module for the drawing tool that Wiki.js uses.

Sleep 0130 to 0830, 1330 to 1430 (8 hours)

• DDO. We did two Myth Drannor quests, leaving two left. Starting to get excited about reincarnating.
