Junk cleaning at the office today. I get to purge a bunch of dead laptops, printers, and battery backups. Oh, and also the whole training room!!!

Got to deal with realizing I'm triple booked next Thursday, and never got a notification on 2 of the installs today.

One hour until the live draft for a free Yahoo Fantasy Baseball league

Just hanging out on the veranda having some coffee this morning.

Started the day with two servers down. One was just a power outage, though.

Don’t disagree, but I don’t get that choice… no faxes,.. but plenty of printers. But that’s a shipping environment.

The junk pile has been taken away for recycling! An estimated 2000lbs! And secure destruction of all the hard drives!

@gjacobse I'm dealing with a MFP device that prints but wrong font so everything's all messed on formatting; AND then they also want it to fax; through a Grandstream ATA to a SIP service and that keep failing. Trying to convince them to move to an HTTPS fax service instead

@RojoLoco Was there anything good in there? I have determined I need to build the home lab back up.

Nope, all old junk, no servers in this run. But I have a pile of Dell 12G and 13G rack servers that are going to be on the chopping block soon.

Learning about unattended Ubuntu installs.

Server was slow all day.. checked things no errors. Checked iDRAC, no errors in RAID array.. /shrug
Arrived on site just after 6pm, ran updates on the hypervisor and rebooted.
server did not come online....
Fuck.. Went into server room, 3 of 6 drives offline.
Thank god for OBR10..... All three disks were part of a different span (mirror).
Rebooted server and continued past the controller warning to get hte server online.
Waiting for the host to get stable with the degraded array and slotted one drive back in. It spun up and auto rebuild kicked in. Waited 10 minutes between drives and did the other 2 also.
Now waiting for the rebuild to finish.

@AdamF Sweet. I switched from straight KVM to Proxmox.
