Never heard "Backpfeifengesicht". "Backpfeife" is an older word for "slap in the face". "Gesicht" can be directly translated to "face". Backpfeifengesicht is like saying "got a slap in the face in my face". Weird.
Oh, wait. Seems to be a 1999 song from "Die Ärzte" (the doctors), a German pop-punk band.
What comes way closer to the "d*ckhead'" mentioned in the video is "Arschgesicht" - literally "B*tthead".
More water in the air than in the Elbe (a pretty large river here in Europe).
It's raining cats and dogs? Isn't that a common saying the in UK?
Had to skip my home lab day. Just got word that my aunt from Bavaria is currently visiting my parents over the weekend.
We only have a chance to see her every once in a while, so we're on the road at the moment.
Doing some lab work. The CentOS-VM below runs on top of Hyper-V Server 2016 which runs in a Windows 10 Hyper-V VM. Nested virtualization can be great for lab purposes.
Remember: Windows 10 Hyper-V is nothing but a type 1 hypervisor. When you activate the Hyper-V role and reboot your PC, your "host OS" will be started inside a VM and serves as the management OS. That's called dom0 in Xen for example.

Mad ups.
Aaaaand humans are screwed.
Sure... but we already knew that. I for one welcome our robot overlords. Sure they will do a better job then we have.
As one of the squishy meat bags designing our new overlords, I'm already all in. Right @thwr?
Probably not a good idea, but yeah, why not 
Still sick. Would rather like to work on a project instead of wasting time.
Some good burgers at Jim Block

Just clocked out for today and will now visit my wife. She's in the hospital for the next few days.
Everything okay?
She's alright at the moment. That's at least something.
That's what my wife had on her first day in the hospital. We had a little Whatsapp discussion about the meal:
Me: Why does your napkin look like an omelet?
She: Actually, the napkin is an omelet...
Me: Has anyone looked funny at you while you used the napkin?
She: Erm... No.....
In the hospital again, another MRI scan is currently running. The fourth in one week.

Next step: UNMS.
I need to get off my ass and set this up.
https://github.com/Ubiquiti-App/UNMS/wiki/Installation-%26-Update
Shouldn't be too hard, just a Docker container. I'll do this tomorrow and could post a little feedback if you like.

The first batch of (my first) Ubiquiti gear arrived today: three EdgeSwitches ES-48-500W. I couldn't wait to get my dirty fingers on them and fired one up just for "science purposes". You know
Solid case, super-intuitive UI, and... I just like 'em. You get a lot of bang for the buck. Half an hour later I've replaced one of my old Cisco's. Will replace two more tomorrow and even plan to order more of them.
Next step: UNMS.
PS: I'm still busy with a lot of things. But we're doing fine for the most part. Kind of.
Good to see you again
Thanks Brendan. I'll try to increase my personal spam level during the next few weeks a bit.
Can't wait for tomorrow. Will order a bunch of UBNT EdgeMax switches, AC Pro APs and and an EdgeRouter Infinity. Complete network revamp.

Very nice.
You bet. Right now, I've inherited a network which grew for 20 years. And it looks like that. It works, somehow, but it's time to give it a facelift
Face lift. More like you're doing a spinal replacement surgery!
Uhm, probably. But there's more on the list, already had a chat with @KOOLER's sales guys
@dashrender said in What Are You Doing Right Now:
So you're telling me that since I didn't waste money and replace them early, before they needed replacing... that I won't be able to replace them next year if they fail? ridiculous.
That's reality mate. Not good, not what I like, but it's a real thing.
Wow, easy guys. It's still me. I've not been around here for a couple of months (for a very good reason), but you all know me well enough.
a) I've applied for the budget in the first hand. It's NOT a yearly budget. It's a special one-time project budget.
b) I could have asked for way more and go for Cisco or whatever. But I choosed UBNT? Why? Because they are awesome and very affordable, as we all know. Using other well known vendors would have driven the costs... What? 5 times up? 10 times? Even more?
c) no secret: I'm still no - and will never be - a native English speaker. Keep that in mind, it's not always easy to explain things especially in topics such as business finances. I guess you got something wrong here.
So, please, think a second before using a words like "corruption" or bad ethic habits.

(I can only say a few words... of the actual useful ones it's good morning, good day, and I don't speak German... oh and stupid head... lol never know when I'll need that.)
Oh, you mean "Dummkopf"? Rarely used these days, it's getting replaced by "Idiot". Try to google that
