dunno. apparently I was only in the 89% zone. thought it would be a lot more. 1. yeah - if it weren't an accident that it's there, you'd never know it was an eclipse. 2. it was. I mean, it got a little darker and wierder (because the sun was no longer a "point" source of light. but that was it for Central Virginia.

...is an epic fail. This was during totality, around 14.40. The only way you can tell is the blue crescent from the lens reflection (refraction?) above the solar blur. Why this picture appears sideways... no one knows.

We've had a stink bug issue here for several years. I really hate those things. They'll buzz around the house when they're bored and they're bloody elusive little critters. Found one in my coffee pot once. Was not a happy camper.

years ago this huge (I mean huge) black snake was working his way into the garage through a small crack between the rear door and the door jamb. I immediately tried to grab and pull the back end of it, which kept it from progressing, but my hands kept slipping. I called to my kid (who was 10 at the time) to get me a glove so I could grip it better. She decided to bring me a baseball glove (first thing she saw)... True story.

I can deal with snakes, but I don't do bugs. End of.

I've referenced some of the Fedora help pages for things like configuring grub2 and specific upgrade notes, but never RtFM.

That is a lot, but perhaps this time it had to do with re-installation after the transciever was installed.

Been experimenting with Cinnamon desktop. It's interesting and I'm sure it works much better on Wayland than X11, but Parallels hasn't made the leap to hooking Wayland yet. So Cinnamon works kind of sluggish in Fedora. That said, found that Parallels' internet and filesystem interoperability kernel modules are fubar under kernel 4.12.5. So it's been a fun few days.

It may be actually coincidental. Seems the 2.4GHz wifi now has what was similarly happening on the 5GHz wifi. Is it possible to tell if the actual signal goes away (inidicating the wifi somehow crashed) or is the signal still there / broadcasting an SSID, but just not doing anything?

Yes. Basically, Fedora is to RedHat as Firefox is to Mozilla. I run it under a Parallels VM for development that's specific to servers. For example, I have a few "bots" (basically php scripts) that run on my server as well as the website's server to do specific things: - One of those bots parses an RSS feed for the last 10 website posts and embeds them as bullets in an image. The image then gets tweeted to the website Twitter account 3 times a day. - Another one of these fetches information from Google Analytics twice a day to get location-based hit information in a csv format for a tracking spreadsheet I maintain. - There are others that I run periodically to get data from a European news aggregator to see where the site sits as far as leading stories, etc., showing trends of what headlines do well, etc. It then creates a web page (basically an log with an html header) so website staff can review the data.

Just downloaded 2679 individual rpms (2598 MB) in 26:56. The small ones always slow it down, but well under 30' is surely a record for me.

@GabeU I probably should have mentioned in there that not all devices (depending upon age) will be compatible with 11n, just like not all devices will be able to see a 5GHz wifi. So it takes some experimentation. For a while, I had my 2GHz wifi set for 11g-only to be compatible with my XBox 360, and an external Cisco router wired into the back to use with an old game adapter I was using with DTV box. The game adapter's 803.11g didn't work right and I had to resort to 11b. The b/g/n setting was driving the XBox bonkers and wouldn't negotiate at all, so that setting was out. Plus there are still a lot of relatively new devices (my NordicTrack's iFit display being one) that won't see a 5GHz wifi at all. Postscript: The DTV box is no longer on the net unless needed, and the XBox is ethernetted in to take better advantage of the speed. lol

Actually, that is starting to change. Not sure you remember the incident between the Dodger and Giants fan in 2011: San Francisco Giants Fan in Coma After Being Attacked by L.A. Dodgers Fans. Similar incidents starting across all sport here. The funny thing is how we're just starting to get the violence, and Brits are just having to get used to the "moneyball" that we've had since the early 70's. And not just the UK - Europe in general. Neymar's transfer fee from Barca to PSG was disgusting.

@maratsade What I was going to recommend was: 1. make sure all of the settings are precisely back were they were. Make sure the 20/40MHz thing is back to 20MHz (if it was that way), as well as the 802.11n-only back to whatever it was for 2.4GHz. Ditto for the 5GHz. 2. Temporarily turn off the wifi for any devices that might be trying to connect to either the 2.4 or 5GHz wifis. 3. Do a complete power reset: Unplug the connector from the modem's power brick and let it sit for about a minute, then reconnect it. 4. Let the modem reboot, and wait about 5' afterwards to let the wifi's settle. 5. Once the wifis settle and the wifi light has been lit for a reasonable amount of time, start connecting things back one-by-one. One of the reasons I used thing the 5GHz used to crash on reboot was it went into connection overload, making it unstable (I used to have a LOT of stuff hung off these wifis). So when all the computers, phones, printers, etc started to negotiate it probably felt like a NYC traffic cop standing in the middle of Times Square. Maybe this fixes it... fingers crossed... and sorry again (for both things, now 😔).

@GabeU Glad it worked for you. Now I just need to find out how to fix @maratsade back up, 'cause I broke him.

Wow... I'm terribly sorry. I wonder if your computer couldn't do 11n? Also, in general, sometimes rebooting the wifi by itself will stabilize it, then sometimes you need to reboot the whole modem and wait until the wifi section settles.

@russyoung2676 If it's intended to work this way, I'm not sure it's an issue to fix. If you're looking for the maximum speed possible, open the wifi settings and go to Advanced->WIRELESS. 1. See if you can use 5GHz, set the Wireless Mode to 11a/n/ac and set the Bandwidth to 20/40/80MHz.2. If you have to use 2.4GHz, set the Wireless Mode to 11n-only and the Bandwidth to 20/40MHz. I don't recommend the 11b/g/n setting because I know the "b" part confuses some boxes like the XBox 360.

I'm just surprised by the amount of cross-ownership of each paper. We have syndicated news services, but it used to be you couldn't have one ownership of more than one outlet in the same media (AM, FM, TV, newspaper) and in the same market here. Not sure if that's been lifted or not. You may know Murdoch (Sun) owns Fox News/Sports as well as NY Post and WSJ here - so, maybe not.
