Just finished with OS system updates on my Linux Cenots 7 webs server and since it updated the kernel and other critical OS files it needed a reboot to run on the new kernel and other files. No issues and things are up running again fine.
During my system updates months ago I had also moved my IceCast relays to the web server and I will change that when I have time so I noticed I knocked some listeners off the IceCast relays temporarily during the reboot.
Performed system updates of the Music server and the web server one Centos 7 OS (web server) and the other Windows 2012 r2 (Music server). Web server is back up as you can see and the music server will be up and streaming again music soon!
A need for a nice set of music thrown together first a little hit of street vibe, then some slow grinding sounds then letting loose once again with music from different genres and musical eras with an edge the way I like.
Listen with me and just hear a songs you know mixed with other songs you know that are normally not in the same sets.
I mean ACDC with Shelia E, Pet Shop Boys, Lil Jon, Macy Gray, Taylor Swift, Bootsy and Beyonce are just a few.
Getting through the day with some music and stringing together some rowdy old school with some fairly recent sounds laced in as long as it continues that rowdy and wild vibe.
Got the original NWA crew, Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Eazy E, when they all went solo with some battle style raps, BDP D12 ,Yoyo, The Mossie, even some Rock-and Roll with Accept, Guns n Roses, Nickelback and others.
I am retiring one of my systems that is using some energy for processes that don’t require a lot of system resources and one of the things it did was run my Icecast relays. I switched the Icecast relays to one of my virtual systems and will have a backup for them ready on another system.
Had you been connected to my Icecast relay you would have had a brief buffering like pause and been reconnected.
I just had to install from a repo on to one of my Centos 7 systems copy over my configured icecast.xml file from another system, change the ip.address/system names appropriately in the file then open my ports with firewalld, forward ports on router, then point to the new system in my Broadcasting software SAM and I was back up again. I did notice some brief disconnects but they came right back!
Throwing a Hump Day vibe to energize to complete while doing evening chores then to chill while enjoying the California unusual cloudy weather.
Already threw out some Mistah F.A.B, Ja Rule I still have artists like Lakeside, Halestorm, City Girls, Rappin’ 4 Tay, Tim Bowman, Prince and that a Marley and that covers the genres and flow.
Doing
some very monotonous tasks that need to be done but mind numbing
and
boring. This
is all music from my den “Snakeice’s House of Beats”. That
means all the infrastructure producing the musical stream and
websites are on systems right in my personal computers on a on
premises type cloud in my home that I have created from scratch on my
personal property and I alone administer and support and customize
the systems to my specifications network, hardware, software
applications and storage is all my design and build specifications.
I
do this for the experience of interacting with the various open
source technologies that most people pay fees to have someone
provide. Many people repackage and present this which is fine but I
like providing the whole package otherwise its of no interest to me
to have someone else host and do the work what am I learning and its
not fun.
I
like to reiterate this periodically as people ask questions. A select
few understand (technology and why I do it) most don’t.
Anyhow
this mix as most here even when I’m just relying on the scripts
will be a special mix of various hand picked genres with a set of
songs that at this point and time I want to hear and flow together. I
can’t do just one genre I like several for my musical palate. They
can be complex or simple but music I enjoy and hopefully you will as
well.
I
still have yet to incorporate some more Indies artists music that
people have sent me lately and I will get you in the mix soon! Until
then enjoy.
A few artist coming up are some you have heard of and maybe some you haven’t are Icey Jaye, Popcaan, C-Bo, Will Smith, Doug E. Fresh, Meyer Rossabi, Leon Bridges, Ellie Goulding and so many more from all eras and many genres.
Sometimes you just need to let it go and let it out just for the heck of it, don’t be ashamed its is what its is and that’s what this set of music represents for the next several hours.
The music as always with Snakeice’s House of Beats will sample from all eras and Genres thus the name “Snakeice’s House of Beats Gumbo mix of Music”
Sounds from people like the Eagles, George Clinton, Too Short, Sia, Egyptian Lover, Red Cafe and much more.
I upped the RAM on my system that streams out the music as it had been topping out with my updated virus scanning software at 98%. I basically tripled the memory from 8gb RAM to 24gb RAM which also should do better handling more streams as well. I may increase more but we shall see. That was the only resource being consumed totally and now its at 11% usage where it was 89% and above before. CPU usage and network resources are still strong it was only memory that was the issue.
a The memory would have been very quick fix normally but my existing rails don’t quite fit my new servers I have gotten recently and I haven’t had time to do any custom adaptations and the systems were stacked on each other. My music streaming software that needed the memory was of course at the bottom of the stack so I ended up taking down my entire site so I wouldn’t cause data corruption or a huge outage I wouldn’t be able to take care of very easily.
Now memory update is done and more to come as I get mys environment updated some more!
