Best Batch Bacon So Far

This batch of homemade bacon might be the best batch I have made.

Carving it up I had to make a quick sandwich with avocado and egg. The bacon was nice thick with an easy bite through without any tug.

Was a nice flavor without too much salt and a nice smoked all around flavor. Had a little whiskey, bit of sweet, and mild pepper flavor.

Good Morning Eggs Benedict

Made a nice Eggs Benedict since I picked up some English muffins, plus have been playing with different Hollandaise sauce recipes.

I poached the eggs in a couple of ramekins pouring the additional egg whites leftover after separating the yolks used to make the hollandaise sauce.

Topped with avocado added some blueberries slightly smashed with a bit of brown sugar and voila!

Updated the Web Server OS and WordPress

I backed up the MySQL database of WordPress and then updated to 6.9 version of WordPress,then updated the OS patches which were quite a few including going to the latest kernel version on Rocky Linux 9.

I also updated my other Rocky Linux and Fedora Linux servers all except my primary Shoutcast/Icecast relay server. That’s several Rocky 9.x, Rocky 8.x and Fedora 41.

Logged into an old W2012 server trial version I only boot up within my Linux desktop that is currently at Fedora 42 in QEMU/KVM so I can run ILO to the old G7 bl460 blade server. After I’m done I shutdown that W2012 instance. That Bl460 g7 runs an instance of Zoneminder and PlexServer.

Back Streaming the Music for Snakeice’s House of Beats

Well the Windows 2019 server took multiple reboots plus takes 5 times as long to boot since it physical server versus a VM like my Fedora Linux music Relay server.

Back up and running some Gumbo mixes from Snakeice’s House of Beats with artists like Miles Davis and Robert Glasper, Stylistics, Toni Braxton, ACDC, Run DMC, Green Day, Sweet Sensation ….

Updating Music Servers Snakeices House of Beats

Hate interrupting the musical flow I have set for this breezy Saturday at least here in California but I need to update my music servers of W2019 and my Fedora Linux music relay servers.

In the midst of some a nice mixed genre Saturday mix with jazz, R&B, Rock, Hip-Hop, Reggae even Country from all eras so its not a boring mix of one genre. Come back and I have mixed in some songs we haven’t heard in my mix in a while long with some of my favorites and new music.

Now its a race to see what servers reboot faster my Linux relay VMs or my physical W2019 server. The Linux relay server always win but you never know!

Let’s Listen to Some Music Together

I set up some songs with a list of chill with artists like Sly Johnson, Samuelle, Ellie Goulding, Coco Jones with some upbeat sets with artists like Jagged Edge, Nickelback, with chill like Ice Cube, LL Cool J. Even jazzing it up artists like Roy Hargrove and Nathan Mitchell.

An all around sounding Saturday of music.
