Instead of violating your ears and mine with Mariah Carey, buy a death metal Xmas single and help an animal rescue. https://ursinne.bandcamp.com/ #ursinne #xmas #manytearsrescue #charity (på/i Malmö, Sweden) https://www.instagram.com/p/Brshqe6lMbj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14jq1psfb0eyk

The latest delivery from @captainfawcett to this moustache twirling villain. I wouldn't leave home without a tin of Sid Sottung's Barberism in my pocket. Can't wait to try The Gentleman's Stiffener Malt Whisky Moustache Wax or Ricki Hall's Booze and Baccy. The latter smells fantastic. #moustache #moustachewax #sidsottung #barberism #gentlemansstiffener #maltwhisky #rickihall #boozeandbaccy (på/i Malmö, Sweden) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrVuOt_FmLu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=mj81vh4z36v2

Moustache Wax

It seems my favorite wax (Brazil's, to the left) is no longer being manufactured.

In order to continue maintaining a stiff upper lip, an eye-catching handlebar moustache, I'm about to begin testing products from other manufacturers. (A few older gentlemen rely on me to procure high quality wax for them, too).

First out, two small tins from Captain Fawcett.

Expedition Strength Moustache Wax

Barberism Moustache Wax

Haven't yet had an opportunity to test them, but the Barberism tin smells very pleasant. Scent is important, the wax will be applied right under your nose and stay there for a long time, hopefully.

Barberism smells like my first male role model, granddad Rune's aftershave. Can't stop sniffing my moustache... I feel safe and loved. I'll buy this moustache wax again.

Summer 2018 Highlights

It seems I've developed a taste for sour beer during this spring and summer. Preferably sours with lots of fruit.

The one beer I regret not drinking enough of, is Brekeriet's Mon Chéri. And I remember buying many bottles of that brew.

I believe I described it as ...tiny cherubs dancing on my taste buds.

Sonos + Samba 4.7 issue

My Sonos system has worked perfectly for many years. It's connected to a NAS running FreeBSD 11.2. A box where I assembled the hardware myself and have recompiled the kernel, "world" and ports a few times.

Today I received updates to my Sonos system while I was rebuilding ports on my NAS, among them updates to Samba 4.7.

When Sonos Controller suddenly couldn't connect to my NAS I had no idea who to blame. I could connect to my NAS from Win7 and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, but not from a recently updated Sonos Controller.

I found a solution, but it opens up a vulnerability. Sonos Controller will not connect to my music library unless I add the following configuration to my /usr/local/etc/smb4.conf.

[global]

ntlm auth = yes

My NAS is behind a strict firewall, all services connecting to the internet or my LAN run in separate jails, but I still feel uncomfortable opening up a potential vulnerability.

Samba 4.5.0 Release Notes states that

UPGRADING

NTLMv1 authentication disabled by default

In order to improve security we have changed the default value for the "ntlm auth" option from "yes" to "no". This may have impact on very old clients which doesn't support NTLMv2 yet.

Celebrating the last day of my summer vacation with Rodenbach Alexander. Sour but mild. Cherries, aged in oak tanks. Legendary! #nowdrinking #rodenbachalexander #rodenbachbeer #beerporn #finölimotljus #systembolaget (på/i Malmö, Sweden)

I found this brilliant Pet Shop Boys single from 87 in a dusty box in the attic. The Ghost version is a bonus single included in the deluxe version of Prequelle from 2018. I love both but you can't beat the original version. #petshopboys #itsasin #thebandghost #prequelle #vinyl (på/i Malmö, Sweden)

This album arrived at post office last Thursday but I've been away. I spent the weekend in Berlin to see the band live instead. #winning 😋 #boysetsfire #thedaythesunwentout #vinyl (på/i Malmö, Sweden)

Great band and a great song. And serious eye candy @ 2:16 and 2:33 ;-)

Robbery and assualt

This happenend yesterday (11th March, 2018) at 23.50.

4 young assailants armed with at least one knife decided to rob me and beat me. A knife was involved so I decided to not fight back.

I remember 5 punches to my face, being kneed in the face 3 times, repeatedly kicked in my ribs, and at least 2 hard stomps to my head.

X-rays of my chest and my head indicate no fractures. I get morphine to ease the pain.

If takes four of you and a knife to beat me, maybe you're not real men.

But luckily nothing is broken. Not my bones, not my lust for life.

Kalsarikännit - thisisFINLAND

The feeling when you are going to get drunk home alone in your underwear – with no intention of going out. A drink. At home....

Thank you Finland!

Until now, I have lacked words to adequately express this feeling.
