Sunday Meal In Front of the Computer

IT is 30 degrees at around 11 am today but the sun is momentarily out. I'm happily reviewing and checking some papers. It is never finished. I'm drinking tea and this is my second cup since the morning rice and egg breakfast. My blood pressure is at a more manageable 125 over 70. I kept waking up short of breath and sweaty on two occasions. After some thoughts and guessing, I think I am having an asthma attack while sleeping. It could be that I'm allergic to the laundry detergent of my new pillow covers. I replaced them on both occasions I experienced the attack. I've had asthma attacks since I was a child.

Update Chromium From 61 -->> 62

Browser updates are very important to web security. Don't miss it. If there's a piece of software that you really have to get right, it's the browser and I have three in my machine. I post updates like this in my personal blog to keep track of the fast developments. I can't be everywhere but I do want to get the information where I am.

The Disappearing Noscript Icon

After the latest update in Noscript, a Mozilla firefox extension, the icon image in the toolbar cannot be found. I've used Noscript for years now and I don't encounter websites that needs tinkering with Noscript anymore. Nevertheless, I am curious what happened. So I headed to the website and the forums for Noscript. I found this forum site. Basically, I ran firefox with all extensions disabled. Then restart normal mode. Fixed. But what happened?

Star Wars: The Last Jedi Poster

The Last Jedi is coming this December 2017. I can't wait. My guess is we can watch it later in the Christmas season or even later than the New Year 2018. The Filipino Film Festival season usually starts the 15th December up to January 7th. Only Filipino films are shown in theaters. Unless there's a special run, we would see it much later.

Cash management analysis for 2016 to 2017. So these are Receipts and Payments in cash from October 2016 to November 2017.That difference amounting to 32,299.44 is about a month's gross rental receipts. A month's net cash inflow is 2,691.00 That's one way of looking at this.

Adding A New Disk To A RAID Array part 2

I have added the new disk and the RAID array is finished syncing, now what? You can check the result of the RAID sync with: $sudo mdadm --detail /dev/md127 ##Note the array size. OR In my case, I'm using logical volume management LVM. $sudo pvdisplay ##Note the PV size The PV size is what you can work with. In my case I want to allocate the free space to two logical volumes. I want to add 300GB to my Music lv and the rest to my Videos lv. $sudo lvextend -L +300G /dev/ubuntu-vg/Music-lv ##This will add 300 GB to my Music-lv. $sudo lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/ubuntu-vg/Videos-lv ##This will add the rest of the free space left to my Videos-lv. We still need to extend the filesystem to the added space. I have ext4 filesystem. $sudo resize2fs /dev/ubuntu-vg/Music-lv ##This extends the filesystem to the added space. $sudo resize2fs /dev/ubuntu-vg/Videos-lv ##This extends the filesystem to the added space. Check the results. $df -h [ donato@archdesktop ~]$ df -ht ext4 Filesystem  ...
