Getting ready to go to Costco
Currently sitting at Costco.
I love taking my kids out and doing things with them. Its funny how they find the most mundane things super exciting, like sitting at target the other day and getting a snack halfway through our shopping like your doing here.
we had a complete outage last night. a trucker decided to drive through our campus around midnight,I guess he was lost, and knocked down a telephone poll which took out transformers and our fiber. So we had no power or connectivity until very recently

Anyone play Minecraft or interested in private multiplay survival server?
I think that @DustinB3403 does. @art_of_shred does.
It's been some time, but I might. Just not vanilla.
I'm hosting an up to date survival server. The spawn area isn't completed as far as a complete block shop and all that jazz, but it's a survival server. I didn't even want that stuff, but apparently nobody will play on it without.
This is my server:
my son and i play on our x-box one like that. its just a basic survival server. we love it
I think having some type of home lab or access to a virtual lab is a natural extension for anyone that works and loves IT. I know there are some who can't afford much and that is understandable. It may also be a function of how much you already know, type of home environment you have, and whether you plan on switching jobs at some point.
My home lab is modest but I run and host vm's, have storage, and manage 2 websites where i did everything through Linux. I plan on doing more, a lot more. I plan on putting a small rack in, getting a proper firewall, a large switch, a good router, keep my wiki updated and so forth. There is so much I want to know about I will always have things to tinker around with at home even though I may not get to at work. That still won't stop me as i am still low end IT moneywise. I want to show future employers what i do at home and how much storage I will have. I want to see their faces when i do more than they do at work and possibly have more storage lol. That will also come with being able to explain all those technologies whether it be vm's I host, websites I write for, or storage technologies I can show that I use. It is just something I want to do as long as I can.
I wish mine liked mario because I have so many of those games. Regular and the karts

https://www.itnews.com.au/news/lenovo-to-buy-stake-in-fujitsu-pc-unit-for-up-to-348m-476738
Lenovo has reached an agreement to buy a 51 percent stake in Fujitsu's personal computer unit for up to US$269 million (A$348 million), after posting a lower quarterly profit thanks to continued difficulty in the global PC market.Moar sauce: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/11/02/lenovo_buys_majority_stake_in_fujitsu_sickly_pc_biz/
Japanese tech pusher Fujitsu has finally - as expected - found a solution for its ailing PC business: it will sell a majority stake to Lenovo for up to JPY28bn (Ā£187m) that will be used to form a joint venture.
Ā
The pair, along with the Development Bank of Japan, will "focus on the research, development, design, manufacturing and sales of client computing devices for the global PC market," the firms said.
Ā
Under the terms of the deal, Fujitsu will offload a 51 per cent stake in its PC unit to Lenovo and some 5 per cent will go to DBJ: the new organisation will be imaginatively entitled Fujitsu Client Computing Ltd (FCCL).Well *****
dang. i liked fujitsu. thought they made good stuff from what i saw
imaging a laptop, installing hyper-v server on a workstation, planning the day out, eating spicy chorizo breakfast sandwich from starbucks

Installed everything via chocolatey so far.
love chocolatey so far with the little I have used it. I need to figure out how best to leverage it for different environments.
Scripts
It's going to be integrated with SodiumSuite, too.
I have a script in Atera that I assign to all computers to run nightly.
It does two things.
choco upgrade chocolatey -yand thenchoco upgrade all -y
you just can't beat being able to manage updates for everything like that

Looking to see if there's a way to list and removed IPs listed as attackers for FreePBX responsive firewall via the command line, before I put in a feature request.
The firewall does have a command line, yes.
That is true, and I can manage zones with it, but I haven't found a way to list IPs or remove IPs from the attackers list.
What's the use case where you want to do that?
Remove user IPs who have managed to trigger the firewall, and (as @NerdyDad mentioned) seeing what IPs I need to whitelist.
Whitelisting is different than blocking. I think you can see what is blocked the normal way...
iptables -LTried that. Stuff that's blocked via the Responsive firewall isn't listed there. The only way I've been able to check for an IP that's labeled as an attacker is to
grepthe IP in/proc/self/net/xt_recent/ATTACKER
are you using something like Cloudflare to mitigate the number of your attacks?

When I image I make the admin account accessible and set the password then just in case this happens because our workstations lose the trust relationship a lot here. I leaned the hard way to do this at the very first stage which is my image.
