@donaldlandru someone is screwed.

Assuming no backups and that it has sensitive data. Might just be Wordpress posts and public already.

Guys what if, just follow me here for a second, @scottalanmiller and @xrobau are actually the same person?

Must be, who else has time for this!

@black3dynamite said in Pi-Hole Upstream DNS Providers:

If you are using Pi-Hole in-house and your router (edgerouter) name servers is set to cloudflare, should Pi-Hole upstream be pointing to the router IP?

Probably not, you want to limit your caches.

US jobless rate at lowest since 1969

The US unemployment rate dropped to its lowest level for more than 49 years in April, according to official figures.

The jobless rate fell from 3.8% to 3.6%, the US Labor Department said, the lowest rate since December 1969.

Does this report count those who are "unemployed" the same way in both time frames?

Not likely.

It's similar to how Word will save your progress, but didn't used to. With disks being so much faster now, especially compared to floppies, writing changes automatically isn't a big problem for most things.

Loads of new people, this is great. Greetings everyone.

@Pete-S said in ISP Failover with Cisco ASA:

All ASA 5500 series are EOL though so I don't think you can (or should) upgrade the license on them..

Very good point. I'd love if this was the excuse to replace them.

I have an older Cisco ASA at a site that is interested in possibly getting a second ISP after some downtime with the main line and we are wondering if the Cisco ASA can handle a failover line like that. I am pretty sure that it cannot do load balancing. But just failover seems like it would. Has anyone does this? Does it work? If so, does it work well?

@Obsolesce said in General Guidance on Windows Admin Center WAC:

Yes you do need to either add other devices manually or by importing a list... but it's a one-time thing so it's a non-issue IMHO.

Not bad for tiny environments. But at any scale, how does that handle machines being added in the future? You have to manually add every new machine after every change to WAC?
