Nothing but perfection. Indeed. The upgrade from Ubuntu 25.10 to 26.04 today is flawless. 

I finally solved my problem with the BIR website Online Registration and Updating System ORUS. This links mom's TIN with the system online. You could register the business online, a branch, or close the business.  You can update taxpayer information.  And in this case I need to do secondary registration and have my books registered.  I printed the pdf files I generated for my books all 5 of them. Pasted them on the back cover of each book. The list of books include Cash Receipts Journal, Cash Disbursement Journal, General Journal and the Ledgers. It saved me the trip the the RDO at Antipolo.  Thank you very much to Youtuber @PinoyAkawntant.

I pulled the trigger on Converge Max plan 400Mbps with Sky channels. I went to their sales office and asked for the upgrade. No charge at all and they didn't ask me to return the old modem. It looks like they will pull it when they install the new modem.e     It came with a black box for the TV. The configuration is easy but it took me 3 days to figure out the Wired connection. It should be fine except I have to jiggle it in the config (GUI). Turn 802.1x  on and off to finally connect.  Here's the speed for the Wired connection:

This move was prompted last month when service went down for an exteded time - almost 3 weeks. Yes no Internet service for more than half a month. The repair crew finally found my address and that was the morning I had my big accident with my ankles. Anyways, they were able to bring up my connectivity that day. But I did visit their offices to either cut the service or change to a new plan. But they were able to solve the problem - good. A month later and their marketing people are calling if I want to get the new wifi 6 modem and the entertainment box with it. I filled up the application for the new plan that can save me 10,000 pesos yearly and get me my new wifi 6 modem.  And my mother's Samsung TV a bunch of channels she doesn't need.  Did I mention that this plan brings my promised speed from 800 Mbps to 400 Mbps?  Never mind.

The only hard part here is identifying the device name. I prefer to use the model name/device short hand name and not the path/name. These often come in the form ata-ST4000NE001-2MA101_WS24TQ9W. I used the hwinfo command to get the information.  Type :     #hwinfo --disk To replace the old disk with the new disk, type:   #zpool replace [pool name] [old device name] [new device name] ZFS will resilver the disk automatically. You can continue to use the filesystem. No problem.  You can check the status with:      #zpool [pool name] status I bought this new 4TB disk around August 2024 and put it online[ZFS] but did not use it in a pool. So it's kind of a replacement disk. I replaced ata-ST2000DM001-1CH164_W1E8B1ZS because it is the oldest at 8 years and I'm logging errors.
