Second time in less than 3 weeks that Opitmum (Altiva) has removed the static IP addresses of my customers' modem. They said it is an automated system issue, stating that the router was upgraded automatically and removed all the static IP addresses...
Oh how nice. So why doesn't your automated update process put the settings back? Someone asleep at the switch over there?

Installing a rocket.chat server on my home lab box. Just because.

Yeah, and then they tell me that they need to speak with the account holder to add the Static IP addresses back...

@dbeato :pouting_face: Been there, done that. Time Warner once helpfully disconnected us because someone had moved the "business class" tag to the line running to a house. I couldn't believe they were still relying on physical tags on lines to tell service people who to disconnect!

My gosh! That's darn annoying.

It cost us 3 days of sales too. That was the last straw that got the owners to switch over to DSL. Not that their service was any better, but at least we didn't get taken offline just because the neighbors wanted to use our internet connection!

Got a coax network working with Ubiquiti AC Pros working well with Gigabit Coax to Ethernet adapters.
I had no idea that coax was still used in networking! Do you still have to use the terminators and all that or is this something different?
What's the impedence of the coax cable? (I think most older cable TV lines run on 75 ohms or something like that)

Nothing like that today. MOCA makes life easy!

TV coax is still 75 ohm. However, there is coax with lower impedance but with higher cost.

Home after three days on the road. So tired of driving.

hmmm, what's for breakfast this morning?
-
Still doing tickets, and dinner is getting made.

Dominica is home now after a month in the UK.

Spent a little time just making and deleting stuff. Whole concept seems pretty intuitive.
pvcreateto prepare a block device (or a partition of a block device) for LVM.vgcreateto combine some PVs together (or not)lvcreatemake your volume from storage provided by the VG.- Apply filesystem to a volume.
- Mount filesytem to some directory.
- Get to creating files on your new volume.

Back to the office tomorrow after over a week off. I am wondering what junk I will find this time as whenever I'm away my desk seems to become the junkpile.

eating chocolate biscuits!

TimTams?
No, Chocolate Teddies, an all time favourite.
Snags for tea I think.
