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.

T- 16:00 for SpaceX Falcon 9 launch.

scottalanmiller

What is the mission of this launch?

JaredBusch

EUTELSAT

For this mission, SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket will deliver two commercial communications satellites to Geostationary Transfer Orbits (GTO). The two satellites, EUTELSAT 117 West B and ABS-2A, are operated respectively by Eutelsat and ABS – two companies that provide global communications services to a variety of users

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ISA was superseded by ForeFront TMG and UAG years ago which both are EOL with no replacement at all.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.
