Burn it!! Burn it all!

Heading home from Six Flags over Texas. It was chilly, but the kids had fun. Dropped $140, but worth it.

This weekend is super quiet for me. I am home alone from two hours ago until Monday morning. But I have tons of work expected to come in over the weekend, so likely I will be very busy. But just home by myself so not going anywhere.

Are you still in Houston or back in Dallas?

@wrx7m This makes it easier for us just because of fewer clicks. That is about the only thing that changes for us.

Everyone recovering today?

It's eerily quite in the office this morning. Like a majority of the users are still on vacation.

Same here. Come to be expected around here. Catching up on emails after being out of the office for the past 6 days. I had vacation days to burn.

Merry Christmas all. Cleaning here. Will begin the elf work when the wife gets back from shopping for food

Cleaning... everything.

Just got done with the wife's side family Christmas. Now back home and about to work on changing VM nics from E1000 to vmxnet3's. Waiting for people to get out of the ERP and the boss to turn off of the load balancing of the SQL servers before I can shut them down and do the swaps.

And done with good results.

I’ll be drone for Christmas: London airport closed for day by drone harassment

Gatwick CEO says drone flights designed to "bring maximum disruption" for Christmas.

In what appears to be the first intentional use of drones to disrupt civil aviation, continued sightings of two remotely piloted aircraft flying over and around the airfield at London's Gatwick Airport starting the evening of December 19 have forced the airport to remain closed to flights for over a day. In a letter posted to Gatwick's website, Gatwick Airport's CEO called the continued drone activity "a highly targeted activity which has been designed to close the airport and bring maximum disruption in the run up to Christmas." He also said the airport is cooperating with law enforcement to end the "criminal activity."

Turrents stationed through out the perimeter of the property with an adequate supply of 40 caliber ammunition and the problem should begin to go away.

That's the exact problem that they have. Can't be dropping random 40 cal round down all over London! That's why they can't open fire right now.

Okay, so it doesn't have to be 40 cal, but enough to deter drones.

To me it depends on the task at hand.

As far as desktops go, ham radio is pure Debian with Gnome because hobbyist programmers release in .Deb because that's what everybody else has done. For everyday use, it's Febora with Gnome.

Laser turrets. Lasers do not fall back to earth and kill people.

That and lasers are just awesome

@Donahue said in Clients on the private side of a jump box:

I just think of another end point, when I hear you MSP guys talk about jump boxes, something inside the LAN, like any other end point.

So endpoint over pass-through. Got it.

Re: Linux Lab Project: Building a Linux Jump Box

Question in regards to the jump box and the clients on the private side.

If the jump box is sitting in line of the router to the Internet and to the switch to the rest of the network, do the clients internally have access to the Internet passively through the jump box?

Drooling over this next level meat porn...

Only $500AUD / Kg.

For the rest of us $USD 358.66/kg (2.2 lbs)

Or $163.03/lbs.

If A5 Wagyu is even available in the US. I've never seen anything even close to this anywhere local to me.

I know that we process wagyu, but as to what grade, I have no idea.

Well if your company offers a discount for ML members.....

Pffft. Employees can't even buy unless management offers and that is seldom. Otherwise, they tend to give away pork chops once in a while.

Going to be a busy day over here. Changing out vNICs in some guest servers, preping a computer to be reissued after it came back from repair, and have to finish off the giant wall clock project.
