Trying out new tenor saxophone mouthpieces today

Sweet! I play(ed) Tenor & Alto Sax. I still have the sax.... sadly it's mostly unused these days.

Never too late to start playing again!

Chatting with Tmobile Home Internet via Twitter about WAN issues. Still better than DSL :).

Have they been able to figure out why wired speed only ever gets ~40Mbps when wireless gets 200+Mbps for you? I'm still trying to get that fixed.

Still better than DLS here as well.

The 3 mbps DSL limit I had was because of distance from a central office.

upgrading Linode VM to Fedora 37

Watching Ansible Automates presentations.

Try stopping the MeshCentral service, then use node /path_to_your/node_modules/meshcentral/ --debug cert. Unless by "letsencrypt log files" you mean that you did the cert debug.

That may provide you some insight into what's going on.

This was my output for comparison (my Let's encrypt stuff seems to function fine)

MeshCentral HTTP redirection server running on port 80.
CERT: LE: Getting certs from local store (Production)
CERT: LE: Reading certificate files
CERT: LE: Setting LE cert for default domain.
MeshCentral v1.1.0, Hybrid (LAN + WAN) mode.
MeshCentral Intel(R) AMT server running on mc.ejsllc.com:4433.
MeshCentral HTTPS server running on mc.ejsllc.com:443.
CERT: LE: Certificate has 67 day(s) left.
CERT: LE: Certificate is ok.

Reading about using certificates with SSH.

124 mile round-trip commute ended today. Fully remote gig starts on 12/12

@gjacobse said in Todays' replacement for Teamviewer:

In the early days of Teamviewer, it seemed like it was really 'reliable' for setting to start up after reboot and being able to reconnect. Any time I try to set this now results in failure after failure and code regeneration password - What's the use if restart after reboot if the code changes? I mean - how does that help me when I'm five hundred miles away from the computer?

While I have moved to using NoMachine internally - there isn't any reason it can't be configured to do the same function am I correct? You will still need 'client / server' computers and the proper port forwarding in your router.

I ask to assist a club member who is about to spend two months in Florida, for something easy enough for him to work with.

(Off to research)

(editted)

Sounds like you're wanting a persistent remote connection to the target machine. MeshCentral gets the job done for me.

Forgot how long it takes Vultr to take a snapshot

Too many to quote using the phone,.. thanks.

so- now it is a bit bitter sweet as I may very well lose all of my accrued PTO,..94 hours.

Will have to see

Dunno about your state, but every state I have dealt with, accrued means it is earned and is 100% required to be paid out.

When I left public school teaching (Georgia), I didn't receive any payment for 500+ sick leave hours

@gjacobse said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

Offer received and without hesitation accepted. In doing so I go from a contractor to full bore employee again. In addition to a spread of benefits I also will receive an increase in pay- and first salary job in a number of years.

Congrats!

Trying to hire a new guy today, too.

And I signed an offer for new gig today.

All-hands-on-deck maintenance from Saturday night to early Sunday morning :(. At least it helps pass the time as I await interview results on Monday :).

Interview Results?

Yes. Commute is unsustainable. Thus, I’ve been on the hunt for a similar gig that’s remote.

There are many things you can do, but we'd need more detail about what data is to be backed up. Also, we'd want to know where these remote servers are compared to this to-be backup server.

Conceptually one of the easiest things you can do is have this server pull backups from your various Linux servers using something like rsync or just ssh / scp.

@gjacobse Try removing the space between , and pc2.
