@dustinb3403 At his age and health, that's probably what is going to happen. Probably be minimal security, which is like a mandatory country club, but still...going to die in prison. What a way to end a legacy.

@scottalanmiller Each rack is locked up and only the tenant and the owner can enter the rack.

Don't forget that there are primarily 2 different types of colocations.

• Ones that you can go in a put your own equipment in how you want
• Ones that you send your equipment to and they do all the physical lifting for you.

Our company utilizes the first one. We rent out a full 42U rack and the colocation provides us with power and networking. We have to specify ISP, WAN connections, etc.

We choose it for resiliency from physical threats, such as fire, weather, physical security, etc. Our colocation is in North Dallas while both plants are 30 miles+ from it and each other. My plant is in South Dallas and the other plant is on the other side of Fort Worth.

What determines your need for a colocation is what risks you are mitigating with the use of the colocation.

One of the best ways to identify a veteran fisherman vs an inexperienced one is by the size of his tackle box. Less is more. The better fisherman I become the less lures I carry. It's the opposite of what most people think..

What do you need other than a laptop to make connector whatever you need to access?

That's pretty funny. Except that a real fisherman has a frickin' boat and nets. Tackle box is for amateurs. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Using a net is much easier than fishing lures. With a net, you only need to find fish. Find bait fisherman needs to find and hook the fish. The sport fisherman needs to find, lure and hook in the fish.

While fishing with a net yeilds the most numbers, obviously it doesn't translate to more pay. The highest paid fishermen are sport fishermen. Obviously the sponsored tournament guys are millionaires, but many local guys do quite well. Sport fishing charters often charge $700-1000 a day. We have about 100 of them just in our county. We are a big tourist area, but most areas have 10-20 of those guys in each area around The US. I know of many fishing guides and charters around the world as well.

I understand what you're saying - I have a friend that's really into fly fishing. But sports fishing is still small potatoes to the commercial fishing industry. They make billions.

Sport fishing has 110 billion dollar industry in just US.

That's like $300 per citizen (including babies, prisoners, etc.), per year. I have no idea what the fishing population is like, but the cost of sport fishing must be enormous. My own experience is that @irj is the only fisher I know, anywhere. Seems like the cost for fishing is huge.

Even assuming as many as one out of ten people are avid fishers, and that seems extremely high, that's $3,000 to fish every year for life.

But it seems to be more concentrated here in the South. Are we considering professional fisherman or hobbyists (those that do it on the weekends)?

Weekend work on updating the firmware of controllers on some PowerVaults.

Laptop, mouse, power cords, travel power adapter for 110v and USB, CAT6 cable, crossover cable, some books, an umbrella, a ham radio, tylenol and advil, some adapters, and other odds and ends.

This story doesn't make any sense.

11 day closure of a science lab because a janitor was using their wifi for cp.
Seriously makes no sense, and just fuels thoughts of some sort of coverup.

Or, at least, justifies the distrust of the FBI. Catching people getting CP is good, but using that as an excuse to punish an unrelated entity? Clearly either abject incompetence, or competence in nefarious activities.

Totally agree.

First off, if the janitor was watching cp on a government computer, why did they have creds to the network? Doesn't make sense why the janitor would need computer resources. Second, arrest the janitor (no matter what, because cp is illegal whether it was at work or at home) and clean the computer. Supposedly the janitor was on the wifi, and could have been on their personal computer or phone. Some IT person need to be fired because they didn't properly secure the network and the janitor still needs to be arrested. No need in shutting down the observatory.

I've heard all kinds of "theories" from Chinese espionage to the telescope got a glimpse of "the death star" because the death star eclipsed the sun and the earth.

My theory? White sands is an active missile testing range for the military. They were probably testing an experimental rocket and, somehow, the observatory caught a glimpse of the top secret rocket and just it down. This is just a REALLY bad cover up. (In a past life, I once lived in Carlsbad, NM and heard people talk about the missile range while I worked for another government agency.)

@jmoore She's been at a couple SC meetups.

@dbeato Just 1.

I run Hyper-V on my laptop to run some small VMs for self-training. Everyday I shutdown my computer. The next day, I'll have one more virtual adapter created than I did the day before.

1. How do I make this stop?
2. How do I get rid of most of these except for 1?

I have checked with Hyper-V manager and Virtual Switch Manager and nothing shows more than 1 virtual adapter or more than 1 virtual switch.

@scottalanmiller Unfortunately, there is no "User interface" apart from the admin interface, but there is not a lot to the program except for having a local repo, connecting O365, selecting the user along with a couple of other requirements and hitting start.

Is a Windows box available? Install Veeam's O365v2 backup to a repository. Free for up to 10 users and you will get everything, mailbox and SharePoint. Set it up for the customer and it doesn't give them very many options to mess up.
