Huge Bootleg mp3 add

Leave a comment

Well, it’s about time!  Yesterday, I sent to the server a HUGE bootleg mp3 upload.  26.6GB.  Been wanting to do that since I retired Dec 2020, but amazing that being retired doesn’t mean that you have more free time, it just fills up with lots of other stuff, lol.

This update will certainly appeal to my main QA/QC guy, Ed Wilhelm.  This is because, in 2017 I uploaded three versions of a King Biscuit Flower Hour concert of Foghat.  Ed quickly noted that Slow Ride, track 6 on the three versions all had the same glitch.  That kind of sucked, but I have been searching for almost five years, and found GOOD copies of them, I named them the same, but will soon be replacing the bad copies.  😉

The new bootlegs are already in the playlist rotation on KRAB radio, so you may request them already.  Easiest way to find them is to click on the link above, then click the NEW link in the right frame.  They should be there a month.  If you want to stream KRAB in a browser tab, just click on this stream KRAB radio link.  For those that have ftp or web back door access, they are in the New directory, at least until the next upload.  😀

If you wish log in access to this blog, or to talk about ftp access, the easiest way is to either: call me, email me, or shoot me a Facebook DM.  Well, enough about all that.  What follows below is the bootleg music I added.  Enjoy!!

Security images pruning

Leave a comment

Well, I have been procrastinating about this.  My security videos get saved on the linux security server, and are limited to a month or so.  Daily, those sql event images get combined into an .avi video and saved locally and sent via ftp to my main server.  They DO pile up, though, as evidenced by the image on the right.  1.2TB.  They have been saving since 12 Apr 2018, when I added that feature to the script that I wrote that created the video files from the sql images.  The reason I did that was that it made it easier to review and archive the security alerts.  Hand deleting all those directories would be a major pain in the ass.  Enter this command:  😉

[root@cap Cameras]# find -mtime +365 -exec rm -R {} \;

It took a short while to parse through all the directories, but, eventually it finished. I checked on things with du -h –max-depth=0. The max-depth argument will stop all the sub directories from printing to the screen.  The results are in the image below.  436GB.  That’s quite a bit of space saved.  Now, instead of directory saved images dating back to 2018, there is only one year.  While the find/rm command above is suitable to enter directly into a terminal and have it operate on the current directory, it is rather dangerous to use.  Far better to schedule a potentially dangerous command in the cron.  First step, is to create the command.  In order to do that, as root do: nano /sbin/shear , or the name you choose to use.  I chose shear.  Add this & save: find $1 -mtime +365 -exec rm -R {} \;  If you have sharp eyesight, you will notice that I inserted $1 after find.  This is a command variable.  Last part of creating the command will be to make it executable by root, and not even readable by other users.  Do this  as root to do that; chmod 700 /sbin/shear.  Of course, if you can’t use root directly on your system, then use sudo.  Now, you can directly use the command that you created as:

# shear /path/to/directory/you/wish/. (/sbin/ should be in your path. If you saved it elsewhere not in your path,  </path/shear>) 😉

Final step is to create a crontab entry to run it monthly or so.  crontab -e will allow you to edit your crontab,  Of course, you might have to do sudo crontab -e if you can’t become root.  If you need help with the syntax: cat /etc/crontab.  I also have the MAIL=root commented out, so as not to get emails filling up root’s email box.  Then, restart crond.  That’s it.  If anybody needs a review of crontab and how to use systemctl to restart crond, either reach out to me, or just add a comment, and I’ll create a little tutorial. 😉

WordPress suckiness

Leave a comment

Well, in making yesterday’s post, I encountered a wordpress error when I wanted to edit the post.  It would give me a ‘critical error‘.  However, it would only give that error for yesterday’s posting.  If I tried editing a previous post, either without embedded graphics, or with, it worked fine.

I tracked it down to an issue with WP User Manager plugin that I use for various system settings.  If I temporarily disabled it, I could edit yesterday’s post fine.  So, after I did, I re-enabled that plugin.

I may have to look into upgrading the main blog version, as I have 5.3.2 installed, and I believe 5.7.2 is available.  However, that can wait for awhile, I think.  But, this issue is most definitely worth remembering.

More cost savings

Leave a comment

As if cutting my internet costs in half from about $140/month to about $70/month wasn’t enough, I finally cut the cable cord (well, almost).

Many people nowdays get most of their viewing content over the internet, myself included.  My monthly cable bill was about $170/month, and I don’t think I had anything special like HBO or NFL channel.  That is steep.  So, I went to ‘basic’, which is basically local networks.  Xfinity still gets $70/month for that, which is highway robbery.

I did that a month ago, and I’m fairly happy, as things like Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, XBMC, etc are all internet-served.  Same thing with many new movie releases.  You can stream them when they get released.  So, net savings per month for the ISP and the cable is about $170/month.  🙂

So, a fiber internet upgrade allowed me to rely more heavily on streamed content, and will save me about $2000 per year.  Not too bad.  😀
