Agenda

• Pick location for next weekly
• Node notes:

  • NodeC3PO -- gateway device on neighboring business's roof is rebooting every few minutes, can't reach it remotely

  • NodeSherrett -- ER-X was having some squashfs problems, reflashed

  • NodeMississippi -- the Bullet AC was going up and down, powered off for a half a minute, restarted, seems better.

  • NodeLionsEye -- still needs a visit?

• Upgraded *LOL* knod, leading to 30+ hours (and counting) of disaster recovery, back on buster, with about 90% recovery. MoinMoin doesn't like bullseye, and knod can be considered fragile, probably needs a complete rebuild and maybe modern maintainable services.

• Russell got a Watchguard Firebox M300 on ebay. https://photos.app.goo.gl/ey3G85m9uwPjaB6CA

• Business Oregon Broadband Program Technical Working Group meeting report.
• Russell is headed to Europe in May, bought tickets.
