Looking into setting up QOS on Sophos UTM for VoIP. It looks a little more involved than I would have thought.
UTMs always are
I think I did it. Not sure I did it right. I also disabled - Intrusion Protection / Anti-Portscan / Anti-DoS/Flooding TCP / Anti-DoS/Flooding UDP / Anti-DoS/Flooding ICMP for those services to the networks of the provider.
Perfect

@Dashrender yeah, hence why she was shocked that she was having a "drink" every morning.
She thinks because she drinks "Irish Coffee" that it is the Irish Coffee with Alcohol?
That's comical!I'm sure that it is. Irish coffee means with alcohol. Not Bailey's flavoured coffee.
Sure, that's what it generally means in a restaurant, etc... but it's also just as likely that they have irish coffee flavored k-cups - which I'm sure don't have alcohol in them.
If she is making it at home, it would only be Irish coffee if she had a bottle of Bailey's (or generic.) But I assume she gets it at a restaurant as that's what most Europeans do. Coffee in a shop is so cheap there.
Oh - I made an assumption that who you were talking to was in person, and since you are in the US right now, you were talking to a resident of the US. But even that could be wrong and you could be talkign to someone in person, but was from the EU, so drinking might be totally legal for them, at home.
Totally legal for her to drink at home in the US. It's getting it at a cafe / bar that's common to Europe, but not the US. Remember this isn't a shot, so would qualify like wine or beer and be legal most anywhere over the pond. She can order shots in Romania, you can do anything there. But even in France or Spain should could get Irish coffee without someone even taking notice.
Apparently - It is legal for a Parent or Spouse over 21 to order a drink for a minor under 21 at a restaurant , The restaurant's policy will not allow it. as long as Parent or Spouse over 21 is physically present while they are drinking.
Learn something new everyday.In the US, yes. In Europe, the kids can order it themselves in most countries. The US has about the craziest alcohol laws o the planet, and even here it is not nearly as crazy as people assume.
Most of the issues with Alcohol consumption from minors is within Policies of Establishments.
The only law is - Parents can allow them to drink within their presence.
Outside of that, Under the age of 21 (with out parent or spouse over 21) can not drink.Which is not what was preached to me throughout all my (not so many) years of growing up.
In the US it is by state. There is no federal law around it. Every state is different.
NY is super loose. As is Texas.
Nebraska is extremely Strict
Strict in what way? We definitely aren't the most open state, but I don't consider us strict.
I don't know of any state that allows drinking under the age of 21 outside of the home. I looked it up, and Nebraska does still have an exception on the books that allows the consumption of alcohol at your residence. Alcohol sales start at noon on Sunday - OK not as good as GA now with them doing 11 AM - meh
You can buy alcohol in almost any kind of establishment, as long as they get a liquor license. Sales of bulk purchases (for lack of a better term - think purchasing for home type use) can be done from not only liquor stores, but also grocery/convenience/drug, etc type stores.
Nebraska is definitely not as bad as some states. Utah has to be about one of the worst.

Catching up what's be happening on mangolassi. While waiting for the wife to get out of hydrotherapy.
Also when I get back into work I'm thinking of doing a mini how-to/blog on dual booting a machine with Windows and Linux (Fedora). To log trying to move from a Windows world into open source. Documenting what I use day to day and how to do them in Linux instaed (e.g. Citrix XenApp, Office365)

Morning all. Just got up. First day of the holiday season! Going to go make coffee

Why dual booting instead of having a VM of one inside the other? The hassle of having shut one down to use the other is pretty huge - but maybe that hassle is what what you want to help push you toward finding solutions on the Fedora side instead of quickly bringing up the VM, etc.

I haven't dual boot for years. Your computer doesn't have enough resources to set up Windows VM?

@Dashrender GA has only had sunday sales for a handful of years, and it used to be 12:30 (after church). When I used to work in a liquor store, Saturday night was INSANITY. We literally had to lock the doors at 11:45 in order to get everyone out by midnight.
Personally, I love the fact that in places like Nebraska and Iowa you can buy liquor basically anywhere. GA has liquor stores, only beer and wine are available at grocery stores, etc.
-
@RojoLoco Michigan has beer, wine and liquor everywhere (it's weird), gas stations
In NY (at least in Rochester) you can get beer and maybe wine in your grocer, but liquor you need to go to a liquor store.
There are parts of the area (within 30 minutes) that have Sunday laws for when it's allowed to purchase beer/wine/alcohol before a certain time.
You just go to the next county if you're close enough.

Right, this was my point - I'm not sure why WrCombs was saying NE is strict. We really aren't that bad. Sure it's noon on Sunday instead of 11, or meh - all day, whatever (yes it's dumb to have any restriction at all).

Yes, but drinking at home with your family or whatever is very loose. No oversight at all.

Good luck. One of the issues I'm running into right now is the VPN and Remote Desktop software. looks like I'll have to figure out / set up WINE. Having a little bit of an issue with the VPN... I just haven't done much about / with it yet. Still have a Windows machine.
But we use RAdmin - which isn't a Linux application. For a lot of my actions, I don't need it... as it's on a Windows box,.. but if I direct connect to the one site, I have to have RAdmin..
A lot of the other things I was using,.. Office, Office 365, Image editing, browsers etc,.. are all cross platform.

Currently working tickets and eating lunch. Already done for the day... Looks like it's about nap o'clock. Though, might check in with my Father in law... Mother in law had her hip replaced yesterday... likely to go home today. See if they need anything

@Dashrender @black3dynamite yeah I hear you on the Windows VM side. The main reason why not is if I run into problems running something in Linux I'll want to boot and work on windows until I get time to work on the Linux side again.
Also last time I tried, it only lasted me a few days maybe a week and went back to windows so I want that option again without a full format and reinstall.
Once I'm happy u can work in Linux and maybe just need a VM for minor things.

So install Linux as the VM - problem solved.

Running dban on a desktop - Like an old car in a used car lot... everything must go.. Two of the three going are nuked to DoD level - the old NTG box will be last as it's the one I use the most other than my laptop... Then it'll be added to the list to go...
Sad to see it all go... but onward and all that whatevers.
