Seems that 32GB is no longer enough RAM for an iOS development box. I do have a 4GB virtual machine running that is “extra”, but I’m 11GB into swap even after closing some stuff out. Xcode alone is using over 6GB of RAM.
I finally found some time to review the Synology RS2418+. I purchased it earlier this year and it’s been a great NAS for my office.

A Silent Forest in Central Michigan (reddit)
This past weekend the autumn colors were at their peak. I captured this while on a hike with a Canon 5D Mark IV and 16-35mm f4L IS lens.Â
*Rubs hands together* Wooo!! I’ve been configuring servers for months, and finally picked the perfect setup.
Ordered this Dell R6515 with a 16 core/32 thread AMD EPYC 2 CPU, 128GB of RAM, and 6TB of raw SSD storage. Can’t wait to see what it can do.
Here’s one of my favorite shots from the trip to Papua New Guinea…and it was taken on my iPhone.
This is oddly specific.

After waiting several years, I decided it was finally time to make the leap to 10Gbit. Here’s an overview of my new network setup.

The dumbest change in iOS 13 is this button in Mail. Why the hell does it let the user do anything but Reply?
Trying to decide whether to install iOS 13 today, or just wait until 13.1 comes out next Tuesday. There must be some pretty big issues in 13 if Apple is pushing up the 13.1 release by a week.
Imported all my photos/videos from Papua New Guinea, and it’s 167 GB. This might take awhile to sift through…
Made it to Sydney. Overnighting here to catch a flight out first thing in the morning. 11 flights down, 3 to go.
Even the short <2 hour flights on Quantas will serve a meal with free alcohol. Here was tonight’s dish.
Saying goodbye to Papua New Guinea this morning. See you soon, Michigan.
Ate our final supper last night, with the Papua District President Gundu, the Treasurer John, his wife Pauline, and Secretary Judy.
Leaving in 14 hours to come home! It’s going to be a long two day journey. I got the movies queued up on the iPad and a ton of sleep to catch up on.
Couldn’t have asked for a nicer sunset on our final day in Papua New Guinea.
Beginning our last day in Papua New Guinea. Here’s a shot I took from the flight back from Alotau to Port Moresby yesterday.
This is by far the most remote location I’ve ever visited. A tour of a village in Sewa Bay…
The sun sets on our last day in the beautiful Alotau. A couple more days in Port Moresby and we’ll be heading back to Michigan.
Here’s a video clip of the boat ride back to the main land yesterday. This was taken while we were hugging the shoreline to avoid the larger swells. Later when we crossed the channel it got a lot worse. Our skipper did a nice job of easing the biggest hits though.
