@wirestyle22 Have to ask, is it connected via a POTS line or SIP/VOIP?

Is that THE parking garage?

I survived the 24hour LAN party with no sleep just fine, but woke up to a dead sump pump

Oh, I bet that was lovely! You get it fixed yet, or you gotta call someone out?

Yeah, we put another one in right away. The carpet in the basement will take a few days to dry out and we'll be good.

Glad you got it sorted!

I'm feeling the carrying a bunch of 8 gallon buckets of water up the stairs from the wet vac till the new sump showed up!

What was that zombie/comedy movie with the rules, but you only get like half of the rules of survival?

@LAH3385 said in SSL Certificates Wildcard... where do you get it from? $$$?:

How long has certBot and LetsEncrypt been around?

About 6 months after I got my lazy wildcard cert, dang it all.

AMD's EPIC processors getting even more epic (sorry, can't help myself.)

@Dashrender said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

There will always be those who don't want to sit around and play Xbox all day long. Some people (I'm thinking Scott as an example here) who nearly always have to be doing something. Sure, there will be tons of people doing nothing, but why should they be enslaved to work, if our technology can do it for them and take care of nearly everything else too?

You're trying to apply technology to a social issue. We could have completely automated farms and housing construction and we'd still have the same problems.

All hail Dr @MattSpeller

So I started my zabbix vm today, and it's broken. Where's Scotty when I need him? Engineering, more power!

I didn't see this elsewhere yet, so here you go.

Does it fold in half?! If not I'm not interested! Plebeian technology is rigid, my phone MUST FOLD!

Not this one.

It will... once.

@hobbit666 said in Random Thread - Anything Goes:

Wondering how much it's costs to get @scottalanmiller to come In and talk hardware refresh with us I really want to move from 3 hosts + SAN, to Scale system. But I know our current MSP will befell the board and get them to buy a SAN.

So you have your resume ready to go, right? Because if you know that, you know exactly how valuable they see you as.

@jospoortvliet said in I'm not finding the NextCloud yum repository?:

yes, those are certainly issues but there are more. Some want Apache, others NGINX. PHP 5, PHP 7. And of course - the distributions want you to split dependencies, put the config files in /etc - and all have different standards on what user the files should belong to, what settings to have in the php.ini file, where the files should be located and so on.

Even 'just package a tarball' is harder than you think - what is the apache user, do you include an apache config file, and where to extract the tarball (/srv/htdocs/nextcloud? /var/srv/www?)?

I feel you underestimate it, @travisdh1 but - feel free to prove me wrong

Notice I didn't say it's trivial

Of course I think @scottalanmiller could do that in his sleep with how he gets "run this script to install" scripts out.

@Obsolesce said in Zyxel backdoor found:

Never heard of or seen these before. Are they only used mostly in Asia? Seems like a smaller company.

They are absolutely all over the place. Low cost at retail means just about all consumers have at least 1 Zyxel branded product somewhere.

Their "business" branded products are all about junk like their cheap consumer stuff, so not seeing their stuff isn't a surprise to me.

A friend posted a picture of Ohio from space (hey, it's space, makes everything better). The arrow is pointing to the nearest town (it doesn't deserve tacking large in front of that, no.) Right on the edge of the "dark zone".

I made my own, but you can pickup pre-made/supported units for $200. I like my DIY one, and can expand it quite a lot still.

@Joy said in Writing an IT paper "Network Design and Implementation":

1.) Suggestion on how will i start, I keep reading, but I still don't know where to start

We've all been there, just start doing things.

2.) System Analysis and Design is missing on my documents,

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't System Analysis and Design just being able to determine what type of computer and what hardware it should include for different business tasks? IE Can you design a computer for a given task?
