Bought some watermelons and was about to cut them today but they exploded overnight and the juice flowed everywhere.. some statements I had left on the table, some into the carpet.

Maybe it's a sign.. shit's about to hit the fan.. because I've never seen watermelons explode before!

Got new neighbors next to me again. The old ones moved out. The old ones parked their F-150 right in front of my house all the time despite having space in front of their house. I celebrated when they left. Turns out the new neighbors have a massive lifted Chevy pickup and they decided it will be parked right in front of my house too. They also decided to put a construction cone about 5 feet behind where it is parked, so no one parks too close to them. Now I'm sitting looking out my window at a massive truck AND a construction cone in front of my yard.

Got my drum from ebay, and it's 57mm, not 85mm as advertised. I don't know how this happens. Big as shit on the box is a white sticker with black type that says 57mm. I measured it for the lulz in case my eyes went bad, and it somehow ended up in the wrong box, but it is indeed 57mm. I wanted to use it this weekend, and it doesn't look like that's happening now. I can use the winch, but it'll be 50% slower :^S

Been a while since I turned on my gaming machine. Just went to turn it on, guess it overloaded the inverter and caused my whole rack to shutdown. This is bad. Very bad.

The inverter is 1200w I'm not sure why it didn't handle that. I have plans to move all the server stuff to a separate 3kw one but still this should not have happened.

Even the NAS dropped. This is so bad. I can't even connect to it anymore, I think the OS is corrupted and I may need to completely reinstall the OS and pray that my raid arrays are still ok after that. This is really not something I want to be dealing with right now.

I was able to get the NAS back up, after some difficulties. For some reason the mdadm raid arrays don't auto assemble at start which causes NFS to fail. This process takes a very long time because it has to wait for timeouts for every single export. Once I was able to console in I had to manually start the raids and mount the disks and export NFS shares. From there I was able to start up all the PVE nodes. I disabled nfs from starting up and added all the commands to start the raid in my startup script, and then also start NFS, so hopefully if ever this happens again it will at least startup properly.

It seems like things are working now but I will be bracing for HDD failures as hard shutdowns like that tend to be very bad. I'm sure I will run into lot of other failed stuff that I didn't notice yet but from what I see I am more or less back up now. either way this was a pretty serious failure that I really was not in a mood to deal with right now.

I unplugged my gaming machine for now. I need to figure this out before I try powering that up again. I think ultimatly I just need to put in the 3kv inverter for the server stuff and keep the 1200w one for the less important stuff. Then add another 3kv for the 2nd PDU. That was always the plan it just costs a lot.
