Survival and Astronomy pages are in the archive, I will get round to setting them up properly but time is against me lately!
That's what this site was originally about but now days there's been a change.. I'm going to devote this blog to my actuall ruminations about life and marriage... Particularly being married to a second born only child as a fifth born child from a large family.
Tue, 01 Oct 2024 19:23:47 GMT What to say to emotional people???
I'm not responsible for your feelings.
I'm not going to do what you want.
I don't agree with you.
I need time to myself.
I've already made my decision.
That's not acceptable behavior.
I trust my own judgment.
I don't need your approval.
I deserve respect.
This conversation is over.

Dear Government,
Would you please fix the roads that I'm alredy taxed for you to fix so I'm not damaging my car that I pay both annual tax and fuel tax on just so that I can drive it. Remeber also that I was taxed on the money I earned to buy that car that is now parked on the drive of my house that you also tax along with my electricity, gas and half of the stuff I shop for on a weekly basis.
All the while my neigbours sit on their arses all day smoking weed and drinking beer on the money you tax me on!

Fri, 20 Sep 2024 20:24:17 GMT Stress Stacking
Women stack stress on men in multiple ways.
If he does not calmly manage all of it while she attacks verbally, emotionally, socially, financially, and even physically, his lack of control under her constant assaults will be punished by her ally. The state, as well as whatever social circle she has. It seems like society expects men to be a punching bag for a woman's emotions. If a woman is pissed at him, the kids, or life circumstances, then it is acceptable for her to put the man in 'the doghouse', kick him out of the house, disrupt his sleep, scream in his face, or even assault him.All the while the man MUST stay calm and stoic. Not descending to her level of emotional content becasue when he does that, violence WILL ensue and no matter what he has been through to get to this point once his loses control of his 2 emotions and lashes out E V E R Y T H I N G is HIS fault.
I speak from experience!

Wed, 20 Mar 2019 11:57:36 GMT Knife Crime and the ineptitude of the UK police and politicians
Knife crime has been in the news for many years now, we have had more legislation year upon year yes knife crime still rises.. Why are the politicians and police so ineffectual?? Take a look at this picture:
Can you see why the policies of banning items based on how they look or how they might be used or how they might encourage this or that was perhaps, not the smartest thing?? Look at the picture - what do you see??
1 Sword
1 Machete
2 Combat knives
1 Hunting knife
23 Kitchen knives

Thu, 28 Feb 2019 15:39:23 GMT MyISAM vs InnoDB Swapping from one to the other
While pretty much defunct at this point as innodb_file_per_table is the default setting now, from a flexibility point of view and if the deployment circumstances require you to use InnoDB innodb_file_per_table is the best way to go. This will allow you to move table files around if required. Using a global table space on a per server basis means that all the tables in all the database have metadata stored in /var/lib/mysql/innodb. That file can grow quite large and never EVER shrinks back down again (Linux software is becomming more and more windowsey by the day). Using innodb_file_per_table at least swaps a massive (potentially hundreds of gigabytes) file for smaller individuals and has the already mentioned added advantage that you can move tables and databases around at will! With system table space you have to move or restore the ENTIRE /var/lib/mysql directory or risk the frustrating "table already doesn't exsist but isn't there but is there" issue..
Swapping from system table space to innodb_file_per_table:
First we enable innodb_file_per_table.
emacs /etc/my.cnf
[mysqld]
innodb_file_per_table = 1

Tue, 08 Jan 2019 09:34:43 GMT The group policy client failed the sign-in login
Yet another mystical error message generated by windows that gives you absolutely nothing to work with aside from a google search
I google searched:
The group policy client failed the sign-in login
and tried a couple of the fixes offered there to no avail so I just did a system restore.. Problem solved!

Wed, 19 Dec 2018 09:27:29 GMT Exim or Sendmail 55 Relay Not Permitted
Relay not Permitted is normally an authentication error.. Check your mail client to make sure you have the option "Sending requires authentication" enabled!
Do bare in mind. Relay not permitted is NOT the same as relaying denied!

Wed, 28 Nov 2018 11:31:02 GMT Some Useful Real World rsync Commands
Rsync is something every linux user should learn and at least try to commit to memory.. It's come in handy to me over and over and today I find myself in yet another situation where I need rsync to save me a shit load of manual messing around.
Basic Syntax
rsync [options] source destination
Common Options:
- v = Be verbose (You knew that didn't you)
-r = Be recursive
-a = archive mode, preserves everything it can and allows recursive
-z = compress data
-h = Human readable output
I tend to use rsync in the same way every time so I don't have to reference the man page each time I use it. To that end:
Sync Remote Directory to Local:
rsync -avhz root@there:/path/to/files /local/path/to/files
Keep in mind the slashes matter. Adding slashes to the end changes the way rsync saves the files locally if you DON'T add slashes rsync will save the directory so in the above example rsync will create a directory in /local/path/to/files - if you add a slash to the end it will save to /local/path/to/files.. Works a bit like the * wildcard on file copies!
