Freaking rain. Knew I shouldn't have trusted the forecast and I should have tried to finish the solar mounts yesterday. The days are so short now so by 5 I tend to want to wrap up whatever I'm doing. I didn't figure I'd have enough time so started putting all my stuff away. Should have just setup a spot light so that I'm ready when the sun goes down. In good news, at least the ones I installed arn't leaking. The last 4 should go fast now that I got the hang of it. Will just be a while before I can do that because this is my last day off then I work 4 days straight. I guess it could be worse, I could have a standard 8x5 job. I would really have no time for nothing then.

Wow well that's a miracle the rain actually stopped. Usually when it rains like that it just lasts the whole day. Might be able to get that solar racking done after all. Gave it an hour to be safe and so far so good. Time to get to work.

So all 8 solar mounts are in and ready for Unistrut!

Note to self: Don't use finger to shape roof caulk like you would with normal silicone caulk. That was fun to clean off my hands... Goo gone helped. Getting late in the day and it will start getting dark soon so debating on calling it quits, but think i'll at least check how easily that stuff cuts. Going to try grinder. Should go together fast enough I figure.

Nevermind.
I disabled ipv6 and all of a sudden everything is much faster.

Forza Horizon 4 was delivered at 291 for the whole transfer.

There's a weird issue in Windows where everything is slow until you disable IPv6, when on an ipv4 network. Suppose eventually I should setup an ipv6 network so I can actually learn about it. I hardly know anything about it other than reading up on the basic theory behind it. Never actually played with it. I still don't like the whole no NAT thing though, I like having my own private IP space that I control. When ISPs start supplying IPv6, the proper way is to not have NAT, which means all your devices would be getting IPs from your ISP and you'd lose control of your IP addressing. So any time your ISP supplies a new IP range you have to update your DNS server and maybe even manually change firewall rules etc. I don't like that idea at all.

I think NPT (Network Prefix Translation) will end up being accepted though and be the standard way to deal with it. It will essentially translate the network part of the IP into a local IP so that you can keep control of your LAN's IP space.

had interview today, did not go as well as I had hoped since I was super nervous, like my hand was shaking.

phone interview thursday for a different company, hope that one goes well too since the listing was only up for a week. my experiences are helpful for this position too since it's for a university (i interned at the school for a similar position for 2 years)
