Yesterday, I moved the domain itbumper.com to the domain itbumper.ru and decided not to do anything with the MX domain. Now, the domain itbumper.ru works for Russia, and the domain itbumper.com for the US. Currently, any request for itbumper.com is redirected to my first project in the US.

Today, I came back to the quiet place again for lunch. Nice place!

The world of IT is a great thing. Using your smartphone, you can be in one place and change things in another. For example, I was using Telegram bots. I have almost finished some experiments and will create one bot to help me do my job more efficiently. Today, I found one more place to have lunch; it was a quiet place.

Time for updates and new solutions

The weather is so cool, and I have lunch outside. During the lunch, I thought. I need to keep the ITBumer project but split domains. All content from the website itbumper.com has to be moved to the itbumper.ru. The same goes for mail domains. I think it is the right time to do this. While I have an infrastructure opportunity, I will run all services there, although, in the US, businesses use AWS and Google Cloud. I will find out how it works, but it will be later. Next week, I would like to spend time with the Cisco Packet Tracer. I need to refresh my knowledge and make some cheat sheets.

And here’s a picture of the place where I stopped for lunch. What a fantastic weather!

IT Generalist`s home hardware

There was a lack of functionality and speed of a firewall, so I bought a more powerful one at a garage sale.
When I brought it home, I found that something was making noise inside, so I opened it.
It turned out that the mount that holds the CPU cooling radiator was broken.
I had to apply a new thermal paste, and instead of fastening, I used ordinary nylon ties; it turned out very well. The only problem is that it is noisy; no matter what I do, the noise level cannot be reduced.
There is a lot of hardware at home. It’s time to buy a wall case and take all the equipment into the corridor.
A small matter remains: Buying a wall case and throwing cables into the corridor.

Winds of Change

The winds are blowing differently, and it’s time to set a new sail to reach new horizons. With this thought in mind, I embarked on my new project.

First, I set up a virtual machine on KVM, installed and configured NGINX and MySQL from the local repository, and then installed and configured WordPress. After that, I set up DNS records and configured the firewall. I checked everything – it works perfectly.

The official launch date of this project is July 8, 2024. This marks a new phase in my professional journey, and I’m excited to share it with you. There’s much more to come, so stay tuned!
