Troubleshooting weird switch issues; looks like we lost a VLAN power cycled switch and everything came back. Then the AP's all started having weird issues. Second power cycle and everything's settled down. Starting to see why @JaredBusch is not a fan of Netgear (this is my only Netgear switch in the company). Keeping an eye on it.
Very few people here are fans of Netgear switches I believe.

Trying to remember what servers i have that run on CentOS, so i can move to something else.
I know my Grafana install is.You still have a decent amount of time to figure all of this out.
Yeah only got half a dozen
so won't take long -
Looks like there is at least 1 (likely many other) easy approaches to migrate off of CentOS.
** Edit this is to migrate from CentOS to Oracle Linux

One thing I noticed is that Orace Linux appears to be running kernel 5.4 by default while CentOS is usinig 4.18.

They aren't too bad.

Fixing "old kernels" has been part of Oracle's promotion of how they dramatically improve on RHEL since day one. You can fall back to IBM's ancient kernel if you want, or update to Oracle's high performance tuned kernel and keep an otherwise compatible system. Oracle supports both modes.

I love their dumb switches. No experience with their newer stuff.

Yup, AlmaLinux makes it really easy, too. But Oracle Linux is probably what I would do.

I noticed that. Both Kernels were available in GRUB.

that's it, this client has suffered enough. off to client 2!

The upgrade script I posted above specifically states to ensure you remove unofficial kernels (custom RHEL ones for example) as they'll break the system on update.
Just to keep in mind as people are looking to migrate to other platforms.

you mean the brine and salt and whatever else they put in the brine to keep it liable during sub 0 temps?
-
@WrCombs, no @JaredBusch posted what looks like a broken windshield.

Doesn't look broken to me - My windshield looks like this constantly during the winter months. looks like brine and salt from the interstate.
-
@WrCombs I must not be able to see it well enough, it looks like the lower corner is cracked.
Normal road-spray I'm used too but I keep my windshield clear (by going thru gallons of windshield wiper fluid) during the winter months.
