I got my “FRITZ!Box + LTE-Modem” set-up re-established again
FRITZ!Box 7490 Huawei E3372 “Surfstick” knows LTE and also UMTS (and so forth (I think)) http://www.amazon.de/Huawei-E3372-Modem-microSD-weiss/product-reviews/B00M2JO9LI – these reviewers (and also myself) confirm, that these 2 devices work together well I had lost that modem (together with its SIM card) a couple of months ago, but I got new ones right now, and everything is fine…

Synology DiskStations – ordinary user accounts cannot have bash as a default shell to SSH into
http://serverfault.com/questions/458553/cant-log-in-via-ssh-to-any-accounts-set-to-use-bin-bash-as-a-default-shell Synology employs a customised version of ssh, having a modified C function “IsAllowShell”, only allowing /bin/sh and /bin/ash in order to achieve my goal, I inserted this code into my $HOME/.profile (code coped and adopted from the discussion thread quoted above): [ -x /opt/bin/bash ] && exec /opt/bin/bash -login

Cacti (software)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cacti_(software) Where to best run Cacti on? My home office NAS? (Any NAS?) But my Synology NAS-s don’t have it in their software repositories. My next favourite choice is the opensuse VM on my big fat Mac mini. It needs … http://docs.cacti.net/manual:088:1_installation.1_install_unix.5_install_and_configure_cacti

sendxmpp-1.24 got created rather recently (2014-09-13) – two .pm-s involved indirectly needed changes – and now it works for me
http://sendxmpp.hostname.sk The software also moved to a new maintainer. Two modules involved showed warnings like this: Use of uninitialized warnings … …/XML/Stream/Parser.pm – method: new …/Net/XMPP/Debug.pm – method: Init They both have their github repositories: https://github.com/dap/XML-Stream https://github.com/dap/Net-XMPP I forked them both, introduced my changes, and committed pull requests. I wonder, whether they will get…

backing up my new openSUSE VM to my Synology NAS – using my beloved Ruby Rakefile
Of course the Rakefile needed a few changes, and it also got a few long awaited changes applied. One VM like that on the Mac mini (alternate Special Edition) hosting the VM is like nothing. A new openSUSE, a new VM – with all the same minimal contents inside – that will be fun.

all my Synology DiskStations offer me a software update: “DSM 5.1-5004 update 2” – how exciting 😉
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoke_testing_(software) https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/liber#Latin – the inner bark of trees, paper, parchment, book My tiny little “smoke test” WRT “did the software / firmware update to my Synology DiskStation” succeed: can I access the respective https://diskstation999:5001/webman in my Firefox? (I am using Firefox for this, as it (usually) remembers the respective login credentials as opposed to Chrome, which doesn’t –…

my primary NAS (Synology DiskStation DS115j) had a high CPU usage, so I restarted it
https://www.synology.com/en-global/products/DS115j I have been using it almost simultaneously from a couple of machines through AFS and NFS, so once access started slowing down, I thought, it’s better to have a look at it’s “Resource Monitor” – and yes, its CPU usage stayed above 95% for quite some minutes, so once I had my short term…
