For this week's #hamchallenge : My primary logging software is #Wavelog. The webserver and backend database both run on virtualized machines in a #HighAvailability #Proxmox #cluster (same one that hosts this instance!). Those are backed up daily to another machine on site via PBS, then those backups are synced to a remote server running in a house in another city.

In addition, my log is also synced to both #QRZ and #LOTW every 6 hours or so, but I didn't think it qualifies as a true backup, since there is some data which those logs don't record.

1. Broke my PostgreSQL cluster. It turns out write ahead log replication is a bit sensitive to latency so I'm rebuilding the #cluster. Not content with breaking one cluster, I made a second one to test the boundaries of PostgreSQL HA, a new approach and I am loading that db right now. Got learned, on Timescale and Time series databases:

2. Handed over the codebase for two small projects I helped start bootstrap.

3. Had a great #selfcare / #wellbeing touch base. It's hard some days, but was reassured that I'm doing all the right things, more than most. Fitting a couple #singing sessions in every day latest being learning Leave Her Johnny:
