Since I have a few pictures and you’re asking nicely 😃 I opened another post: https://programming.dev/post/25943048

The second thing I mentionned were some shelves that had to fit in a very specific spot, but I don’t have pictures to hand

As a beginner who mostly learned from the University of YouTube, I hear you, it was more involved and messier work than I thought it’d be

We’re a couple months later, I ended up doing a second small project, this time I used half tung oil half orang oil, and adjusted my technique: wiped with a clean rag after application, and I think the room was warmer them last time.

Got better results, more even and it didn’t take 2+ weeks for the first coat to cure (more like a few days).

Thanks for the advice 🙂

By “Syslog-ng Engineer” do they mean a C systems programmer who can fix bugs and add features to syslog? that’s a rather different role from being an admin; even if, depending on the size of the operation, it make sense to give both roles to the same person

Besides Journal not being available on non-Linux, there are a could of reasons for using syslog: it can log to a remote server for instance. Journal does have a remote logging capability, but at best you have to run two log sinks in parallel, at worse it’s a non starter because everything that’s not a Linux box (network routers, VMware hosts, IDS appliances) can’t speak to it

Another is fine filing and retention. With syslog you can say things like “log NOTICE and above from daemon XYZ to XYZ.log and keep 30 days worth; log everything including DEBUG to XYZ-debug.log, keep no more than 10MB”. With Journal you rotate the entire log or nothing, at least last I looked I couldnt find anything finer. There are namespaces, but that doesn’t compowe, the application needs to know which log goes into which namespace

It is pure oil, maybe I’m being too impatient then, a month is a long time though!

/u/NataliePortland@lemmy.ca suggested a wipe with solvent, is that the role of orange oil? I think ill try that when I have time in few days

It’s inside the house, but this being winter, is not super warm.

I disn’t do the two steps apply liberally, wipe the excess a few minutes later. Of well, top late to go back and do that :)

I think I’ll try your suggestion when I have time in a few days
