Ugh, almost midnight and a server has failed. This one is on Vultr. Cloud platform has failed and we can't get the instance to stop, let alone restart.
-
Updates, updates, updates.
And Software installs that aren't updates. . . and god damn would this banging in my head go away already.

Day 3, Feeling better than yesterday, still dealing with the coughing and sinus stuff.

I'm back from my interview. That's the first time that I know of that I've been on the news.
Interview for what?
My car was towed illegally (which is really just stealing it) and that is a big thing down here. I won in court, but the towing company just didn't bother to pay. They run a scam with the apartment complex where one of them publishes one set of parking rules, and the other another, and then tow you for anything they want. It's illegal, but they've paid off the state to look the other way.
The state is aware and an attorney is dealing with it. But the state gets paid to let them do this, so they don't have much incentive to look into it deeply or quickly.
However, a senator has stepped in, so things are happening.
Holy crap mate, this could turn into a Netflix thriller.
Shouldn't be too difficult...

Damn, we are busy...

Just found out that my interview will run on Fox 4 News today here in Dallas.

Just got tickets to see Primus in June - they will be playing the entire "A Farewell to Kings" album by Rush. And one of the opening bands is The Sword, who are amazing.

Slow day on ML!

Trying to wrap my brain around adding a CA to our domain so we can encrypt traffic between servers. OMG... Where do I start....

For AD, I assume?

Yes sir. What brought it about was we run Citrix xenapp and nothing is encrypted this side of the ADC

Well, the passwords are. That's the only important bit in a typical domain communications chain. Not to belittle "encrypt everything", because that's a good idea in general. Just saying that AD is decently secure even when at its least secure.

@scottalanmiller
I just asked the reason behind it and "Mind Blown" because we have a consultant that is working on stuff already and is willing to do it. Along with it being best practice. So now comes the fun, learning how not to break it.
This was not a "Norm" response to my question.

Set the Certificates for as long as your CA will allow, lol.

AD (and everything using it) is only as secure as the DC.

DCs are pretty secure unless you screw something up. However, the DC does not hold passwords, so even a compromised DC does not divulge passwords. So technically, it can be more secure than the DC
