Jasper had his howling session just before 04:00. He only quietened down when I went downstairs to open his feeder. I crawled out of bed to start the day properly just before 07:00. Zoe had a 9 am start, so there was no hurry to get going. I wandered around to join the walk to school, and we dropped Ellie off at the classroom. I went off for my usual morning walk.
After breakfast, I headed for my study. Diane was going out for lunch with her Pilates crew, so the morning was spent getting ready. I spent time with the computers. The first task was to complete the automation of the NAS device mounts. Then, I decided that I wanted to clone the microSD Card from which the Pi was installed. The first attempt appeared to work, but wouldn't boot. I resorted to the approach I had taken in the past, and while slow, this worked. I then decided to use the same approach to clone onto a 500GB SSD drive that I have spare. Much to my amazement, this worked the first time. I now have the new Pi (eagleowl) running from that.
(Just as an aside, I was using ChatGPT to help me, and while some things didn't go to plan, I updated the AI bot with the errors I had found and the circumventions I had applied.)
The last part of today's installation was "jellyfish", which is a media server. I have that working in single-user mode from my browser. I must explore further as I get the opportunity.
There was no need to collect Ellie from school today. She was going straight out on a playdate, down to the beach with her friend Jaxson. She would be dropped home at Zoe's when they return.
