Preparing....

They are calling for a major storm this week... 1-4" of rain, possible flooding and 20-30 degree crash and ice and snow.
-
Laptops - The MS Autopilot issue hasn't been resolved yet... so getting them set the old way. Image, update, rename/join and install. - so much the lame.
-
-
Preparing myself for yet another LONG ass call with Dell support... still having the replication issues and critical errors I alluded to before, but yesterday we managed to get into the security account which had locked itself last week from too many wrong passwords. The reason my written down password for that didn't work?
IT HAD NOT ACTUALLY BEEN CHANGED.... IT WAS STILL ON THE DEFAULT PASSWORD!!!
I sincerely don't know how we missed that. Can't point the finger of blame at any one person, but damn.

Adventures in DSL land last night. For a small while, the ping between my router and the other end of the PPPoE connection was 200ms.

Oh, fun. Sounds like somebody in your neighborhood was torrenting the latest TV show.

If it makes you feel any better,... my In-Laws had fiber installed yesterday... They are rural... DSL most sorta works out there and the only other option is Sat...
I can't get Fiber likely for another 3-5 years. and I'm about 5 miles from where it currently stops.

I'm on the waiting list for Stalink, and I'm doing some research into fiber or possible a dedicated copper connection. Both of which are a non-trivial expense, but if it might make sense as an investment into the property, then I'll consider the build out.

Testing / familiarizing myself with putting MeshCentral behind an Nginx reverse proxy.

@eddiejennings I took a look at Starlink, it'd be pretty outstanding to have 'net access in the middle of the Simpson Desert etc etc, but at $135/month, forget it.
