@networknerd Great video. Unfortunately I'm now heading to sleep closer to 2 AM instead of 1 AM

Installed my root CA certificate in CentOS. AD authentication for Dokuwiki is no longer in the clear

Good to know.

Today it seems the neural pathways used for determining the correct direction of a slash for a directory path between my Linux and Windows instances are clogged. My default is starting to become forward slashes.

@scottalanmiller You haven't lost your mind, but the issue might be one of terminology. We use AD certificate services to push out machine certs, which (right now) we use with establishing VPN connections.

RAID 5 array is degraded. I'm hoping nothing else happens between now midnight.

This will highlight my inexperience with dealing with a hard drive issue before a hard drive has actually died, but I figure I have to learn somewhere, and why not use Mangolassi

I have a Synology NAS with 5 drives in a RAID 5. Yes, I know how terrible RAID 5 is -- it's what I've inherited, and it's on my list of projects to change. The raid is not degraded, and the SMART status for one drive is "normal;" however, within Health Info, this drive is showing it has 119 bad sectors. What concerns me is that 53 of these bad sectors have surfaced in the last month.

Since this drive isn't becoming any healthier, it's clear it should be replaced. The question is when. It would make sense to swap the drive at the time that I make the change to RAID 10; however (since all of my experience is a drive is living or dead -- no experience with the stages of death), would it be wiser to go ahead a swap the drive? I ask since, in my experience, planned projects often get off-set by months due to other hair-on-fire tasks that tend to appear.

Started another Linux Academy course (LPIC-1 System Administrator) before heading to sleep.

@Texkonc Yeah, I know I can't have 5 in a RAID 10. Currently we're using under 500 GB of this storage, so losing that drive isn't significant. Once my current two hair-on-fire esque tasks are done, I'll get on figuring out the procedure.

Wading my way through the dark while trying to configure Hyper-V 2016 on my lab server.

I think I understand the basic process of the scammer.

They call us toll-free. During that toll-free call, they use the compromised extension to make a long-distance call.

@scottalanmiller You're insinuating that he hasn't used his brain, which is up to him to interpret as offensive.

Which if he finds offensive, would be him not using his brain.

A lot of people are choosing to be offended, it's the year 2017 and I can't relate to my fellow Americans anymore

Just got an E-mail from a recruiter. I always chuckle when I see Cisco listed as a "skill."

The title of your video is what clears the confusion that folks I believe have. Since folks (mistakenly) install Hyper-V as a role, they have this idea that the particular Windows Server license dictates the number of VMs (of any OS) they can use, not the number of Windows Server VMs you can have.

I've been at work for just under two hours, and my stupid tolerance is almost gone for the day

I cannot win today.

Ping time from FreePBX on Vultr (Atlanta) to Twilio's New Jersey POP averages 13ms.
Ping time from FreePBX on Vultr (Atlanta) to Voip.MS's Atlanta2 POP averages 2ms.
Ping time from a host on my network (Norcross, GA -- Comcast coaxial Internet connection) to FreePBX averages 120ms.

Tested ping from behind my firewall as well as while connected to the cable modem itself. Average was the same.

/sigh

@DustinB3403 Why are you calling it a "hub"?

Because there is no switching taking place. The devices simply ask for a dhcp address, and go. All switches are hubs, so a basic unmanaged switch.

Wtf are you talking about?

My guess - a confusion between switching and routing.

Probably wants a switch, but is calling it a hub, not realizing that a hub is a specific thing that sends all traffic out all ports (layer 1).
