Well, flagged another question:
ISA was superseded by ForeFront TMG and UAG years ago which both are EOL with no replacement at all. IMHO, having a proxying frontend (Postfix, Exim, Courier or even sendmail) somewhere "outside" (cloud / off-site / DMZ) is way better than letting someone connect directly to your Exchange. Got roughly 10% bad answers overall at SW - and in 90% of these cases it's about bad questions.

And look, it's not a community question but one that SW commission from their internal staff.

Getting ready to go. We are hitting the road today to begin the process of getting back to New York.

Well,
I guessthat answers all my questions regarding quality control.
Just a matter of time before people will be asked about upside down ducks. -

Just a matter of time before people will be asked about upside down ducks.Yeah, having non-IT people asking "IT questions" based off of random Google searches and unable to identify obviously wrong or outdated questions is a problem. At least when the community does it you have the community to blame.

That's the point.

Narf, didn't pay enough attention when I just wanted to initiate a reboot.

Taking the kids to the playground for the final time.

Also waiting to talk to SKY to find out an ETA on my regrade to 70MB and if I can use the EdgeRouterX

The short answer is you may have to get creative, lol. My Father-In-Law's cable connection is locked to the MAC address of the device behind it. When I set up WiFi at his house, I had to do a mac spoof to make it play nicely.

That's pretty standard. Or used to be.

Morning everyone, I'm drinking coffee and updating remote systems this morning.

Yeah with the older service from SKY (Before FTTC) you could use Wireshark to find the Username and Password and that would work.
Need to wait until my regrade then have a play

Around here you just reboot the cable modem and it will accept a new MAC.

Doing the final picture uploads before we get on the road. So much to do.

Finally finished an article on drive appearance that's I've been meaning to do for years. Needed that done so that I can work on the Linux LVM stuff.

LVM things online are generally one of two things. 1) Very basic 2) Overly complicated. I've not found a practical guide/training for it really. In the newer file systems (thinking brtfs here) LVM isn't used, but all the principals behind LVM are still in use.

That's why the first article had to be about drive appearances. the next will be about logical volume management. Then the articles on LVM itself can begin.
