Sidewalk Chalk and Rainbows Over The Elmwood Strip
Category: estrip.org

We decided to stop at Hu's on Elmwood and got some chalk. There were rainbows all over the sky.

Wow @ Joe and the rainbows! :)

sina - 11/10/13 20:36
See (e:Joe) with his usual smile!

OMG sidewalk chalking estrip.org, this takes me back to the early days of elmwoodstrip.com. I think we actually got quite a few members from the chalking. Hope it helps again!

My New Certificate Authority
Category: computers

If you want a free SSL cert I can make one for you but the machines that access it will need to trust my certificate authority by accepting the following cert

Then just send me the csr.

If you don't know what this means, then you don't need one. For my own reference later.

openssl x509 -req -in new_request.csr -CA /etc/pki/CA/certs/ca_estrip.biz.crt -CAkey /etc/pki/CA/private/ca_estrip.biz.key -CAcreateserial -out new_request.crt -days 3000

paul - 11/10/13 14:53
Okay, send me your csr, lol.

mike - 11/10/13 12:40
I don't now what it is but I WANT ONE!

LVM - Moving empty space from one logical volume to another
Category: server

I resized the logical volumes for the site VM on KVM to steal some size from home and add it to root. Its actually really simple. It was all able to be done while the server was online. Go LVM.

//unmount home
umount /home

//check file system
e2fsck -f /dev/vg_estrip/lv_home 35G

//reduce home to total size of 35G
lvreduce -L 35G /dev/vg_estrip/lv_home

//remount home and check files
mount /home

//extend root by adding 50GB
lvextend -L+50G /dev/vg_estrip/lv_root

//resize fs to take up the 50GB
resize2fs /dev/vg_estrip/lv_root

Centos and ext4.

uncutsaniflush - 11/10/13 16:35
Thanks for posting this. I've successfully enlarged logical volumes but I've not been able to shrink a logical volume (and file system) successfully. I assume you are running fedora or centos? What file system are you using?

KCafe - Korean Tacos
Category: food

The KCafe at 546 Niagara Falls Blvd in Tonawanda had some delicious Korean Tacos. They even have vegetarian ones. I am posting the menu because I couldn't find it online. I would totally suggest checking it out.

They also have some really interesting burgers with half beef and half bacon in the patty and grilled cheese sandwiches with lots of toppings. (e:xandra) had a pulled pork grilled cheese with garlic bread toast as the bread and bacon in top. The crispy paramsaen cheese coated? fries were also great with Korean hot sauce.

uncutsaniflush - 11/10/13 16:30
Oh, ye of little faith, (e:tinypliny) One can get korean tacos in the U.K. but the place is run by a Swede. :::link:::

metalpeter - 11/09/13 15:54
I have heard of the part Bacon Hamburgers and wonder if in that form if it would still taste like bacon but want to try some day.....

sina - 11/09/13 10:54

tinypliny - 11/09/13 07:26
