A place to where I can record my Technical stuff that should be accessible from anywhere. It is mainly technical stuff I find interesting and I suppose it can be looked on as a modern Lab-book.

Rocks Cluster Compute nodes Ask for Password
After installing the compute nodes on a new Rocks Cluster it was found that a few nodes kept asking for SSH password. These should have been passwordless SSH and it was working on some of the compute nodes.
Try the following
#rocks sync host sharedkey compute
Try #rocks run host "/opt/rocks/bin/411get --all"
if that works,
Try #rocks sync users on the frontend
This cured the password prompt problem on the cluster.
This cured the password prompt problem on the cluster.

4 Litre Silver Mini Fridge Repair
After just over a year of use (just out of warranty) the fridge stopped keeping things cool.
After taking out the 7 screws from the back panel the power supply PCB was revealed. On close examination it was found that the two 1000uF 25Volt electrolytic Capacitors on the power supply board were swollen (see picture below and note the pressure seals on the capacitors, both are leaking electrolyte), they were replaced and the fridge began to cool again, Result!
Do these repairs at your own risk, electricity is dangerous, you have been warned.
