      @dbeato :pouting_face: Been there, done that. Time Warner once helpfully disconnected us because someone had moved the "business class" tag to the line running to a house. I couldn't believe they were still relying on physical tags on lines to tell service people who to disconnect!

        My gosh! That's darn annoying.

          It cost us 3 days of sales too. That was the last straw that got the owners to switch over to DSL. Not that their service was any better, but at least we didn't get taken offline just because the neighbors wanted to use our internet connection!

            Got a coax network working with Ubiquiti AC Pros working well with Gigabit Coax to Ethernet adapters.

            I had no idea that coax was still used in networking! Do you still have to use the terminators and all that or is this something different?

            What's the impedence of the coax cable? (I think most older cable TV lines run on 75 ohms or something like that)

              Nothing like that today. MOCA makes life easy!

                TV coax is still 75 ohm. However, there is coax with lower impedance but with higher cost.

                              Spent a little time just making and deleting stuff. Whole concept seems pretty intuitive.

                              1. pvcreate to prepare a block device (or a partition of a block device) for LVM.
                              2. vgcreate to combine some PVs together (or not)
                              3. lvcreate make your volume from storage provided by the VG.
                              4. Apply filesystem to a volume.
                              5. Mount filesytem to some directory.
                              6. Get to creating files on your new volume.

                                Back to the office tomorrow after over a week off. I am wondering what junk I will find this time as whenever I'm away my desk seems to become the junkpile.

                                        I have to use the elevator at the office for a couple of days until my knee feels better. This morning I was trapped with antithesis of me: a group of bubbly morning folk. That was the longest one floor elevator ride ever.
