Not really much use for them.. neat but not that useful, more likely to block RF if you put it where the boxes would be. And given this has a switch in it too more likely to fail from heat build up.
When I saw them they were using a hotel as an example. Each room could have its own wifi access that would be turned on and off for guests.

Once went to a greek taverna and they had octopus on the menu, thought, yeah, why not, I'll give it a try...
Something was lost in translation...I was expecting something similar to your picture...I got baby octopuses...still wriggling.
OMG. AAAAHHHHHHHH
Where were you?
This was in a Greek owned and run restaurant in the UK!
To be fair, I've eaten worse...but yeah
Sorry... but if I have to chase my food across the table with a fork / other eating utensils, then it is not done enough and must be cooked (more if necessary).
Hegh rIntaH ghaH nongtaH ghom jIH!
I'd rather meet death himself!
I saw a video not too long ago. Someone ordered octopus and if you put some kind of sauce on it the legs will move and act like it's alive

congrats!. I just had my first on 6/1 and went back to work after 7 business days off. It has been a very long 2 weeks thus far but quite rewarding. There is nothing like coming home from a crappy day at work and see them smile or just holding them. It just makes everything better.
Yes, I had one of those moments just a few days ago. Got home from a long day, and my two year old ran to me with her arms upraised. Made everything better.
That's the greatest feeling. And the worst when they cry when you leave.
I don't understand the people on SW asking questions like, will this service start when I reboot the server. We are able to look up pretty much every piece of information right at our fingertips.

Improper disclosure of internal infrastructure I'm guessing is the reason for killing it.
Possible, and the nature of the business that john works for.
What is that nature?
I'd have to kill you.
Probably the laziest person in the world but I just ordered sheetz breakfast online on my way to sheetz ha.

Well @scottalanmiller im beginning to see why you say IT Security jobs don't really exist. We have someone here who is IT Security. He just told us that we aren't allowed to use untrusted certificates (and used a web browser displaying a warning as an example) then went on to say that we can use self signed certificates.
So I'm using Identity Management (FreeIPA) for my DNS and authentication in my home. This is replacing a manual bind server that I've had running for a long time. Is it better practice to have multiple A records for devices with ZeroTier or is it better to have a separate zone? Currently the Bind server has a separate zone for the ZeroTier addresses. Multiple A records works fine, just curious what's the better answer.
I could just make SSH tunnels through my jump box for everything, but I'm lazy.
Also, I don't see the option to ask as a question any more.

CDW has the ONLY team in the industry? And... why do we need to manage that
You should probably ask the only team in existence why. Obviously you're missing something.

This is precisely what we were discussing in the "Starting own IT consultancy .." thread ...
This kind of crap happens all the time ..
I recollect an instance, when a vendor went as far as to insist that the compute-name of the Server be a specific one (I think it was the name of their product), or ELSE, the application would not work properly .... Luckily, this was one of the rare occasions when the client backed us, instead of the vendor... I put my sparring gloves on, and TKO'ed the vendor.
Wow, just... wow. I wonder if anyone thought to ask if it was the hostname or a DNS entry or the NetBIOS name
I'll explain ...
The client side of the application, obviously needed to be pointed to the server via the hostname of the server ...Once it so happened that we installed a new desktop, and could could not connect to the product's tech support, to have them install the client app... So, we went ahead and installed it .. Upon starting-up the app, we were confronted with a "Server not found error" ... Upon digging around a bit, we discovered that the installation folder contained an ".ini" file, with the hostname of the server, and database path, predefined ... Stupid app design ... stupider tech support ...
I can sympathize. The one place I did work for had an ERP that was written in FoxPro and it had a hard coded path to V:. If you mapped the drive under any other letter it wouldn't work. And since it was FoxPro it used DBF tables in that mapped directory. Awesome design.
@nadnerB said in Welp.. I put on offer on a house:
So why would anyone live in a state with that crap?
Well, they come from a good idea. The idea is that people will keep their property in check to keep values up. A lot of them also have stuff like yard maintenance, road maintenance, etc. But they end up being a group of people that have power over the others and can force people to do what they want.

DigitalOcean/Cloudways looks better!
I've just checked Cloudways offerings, but it doesn't seem like you are able to run your own mail server there. They don't even offer some shared mail hosting at all. Instead, they are pointing you to Rackspace where each mailbox is $1/mo.
So my question is: How do you manage your mail accounts? Plain Gmail?
I switched to Zoho. It's free/cheap and you get a ton for the price.
Got GitLab hooked up with our Identity Management. That works pretty nicely. KVM with Gluster is still running. With preallocation on the qcow2 file I'm getting pretty quick read/write speeds.
So I'm putting together a jump box that will be fairly hardened. Here's my plan:
Key exchange will be curve25519-sha256 or diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256
Ciphers - chacha20-poly1305, aes256-gcm, aes128-gcm, aes256-ctr, aes192-ctr, aes128-ctr
MACs - hmac-sha2-512-etm, hmac-sha2-256-etm, hmac-ripemd160-etm, umac-128-etm, hmac-sha2-512, hmac-sha2-256, hmac-ripemd160, umac-128
Any other ideas?

Does this then imply that you either
- have to have shared storage to live transfer VMs between hosts for patches, or
- expect downtime on VMs while a host is updated?
or 3) have an HA application that doesn't have a dependency at that level, like an AD DC.
Awesome - exactly what I was looking for.
With web servers, for example, this would be behind the load balacing layer. Just remove a server from the LB, patch and add it back in.
Or don't patch and just spin up a new one with the data store somewhere else and kill the old one.
So I'm using my ASUS laptop this morning. I usually have it hooked up at my desk to my monitors. But since we're on vacation I'm actually typing on it. I mostly use my Chromebook that's running Ubuntu. I heard this static sound and couldn't figure out why the speakers were making any noise. After getting closer, I realized it's the fan. I think I need to go back to bed.
