Quite a few good topics in there.
oh gee. I spent about 45 seconds looking at the list and a quick read, dodgey as all get out by the look of it.
Yeah, that's putting it nicely.

so i'm fiddling around with a ubuntu build on vultr, i'm no linux person.
I run up a simple machine, reset root password. logout & log back in using the new password, so i've confirmed the password is ok.
install lubuntu desktop coz I want a gui.
reboot, but I can longer log in, says password is incorrect. Tried this at least 4 times, meaning i've nuked the vm and started from scratch 4 times.
wednesday thursday friday (wtf).
what am i missing???

I bet you will find that the cli password still works. Its likely a GUI issue.

At one of our sites re-cabling the Unifi AP's, Also upgrading them to AC-LR's
why recabling?
Because we have no idea who cabled some of the cat5 stuff and the Access Points keep going offline.
So thought Re-cable new access points, then all should be good. -
Just heard the kids school went into full lockdown few hours ago, someone's been arrested. Something they posted on facebook about killing some "school kid"

I only wish it was that new.
I guess calling government software snowflake is kind of redundant.

down here, medical practices that need to access a govt medical service online have to run Java 2.x to access functionality within the govt web site. scary but true.

i got this week off. not much different to a work week. weather is terrible, strong wind and rain, so camping is out.
we can't leave the state, so that's out. the kids are stuck in lock down, allowed out for 2 hours a day, so we also have a degree of holiday guilt. -
Looking at purchasing Zoho mail for one of my personal domains. Want to migrate away from an ISP provided email account. Already own the domain. Anyone using it? Good? Bad? Very affordable and I don't mind paying for something that doesn't have adds and other garbage.
