1 by supplying auth creds manually and out via proxy.old
2 by auto auth and going out by proxy.new
proxy.new worked with npm config set proxy http://ipaddress:port

just went to log into my old yahoo acoount.
upon doing so it asked me to confirm my security stuff.
it put up a secondary email address, saying i'd confirmed it 19 years ago, which would be accurate.
where'd all that time go???

I'm surprised you've still got access and it hasn't ben hacked
There was a massive breach a few years ago.

Yeah, I remember that. I don't use the account for anything serious, it's just a 20 year old junk account..

sitting on the verandah. nice to be outside, the sun is out but the air is cold.
i should be doing something, but what?

tuesday morning, overcast and chilly had to put the heater on.

@nadnerB Hahaha. I saw that original bubble graphic the other day but didn't read up on it, I did think though, what, here we go with WA's stupid succession stuff again

That was pretty funny.

How's your job mate, secure or not sure??

Yeah, WAxit has been. We're now Westeroz

Job's secure, as my place is 'essential'... although I do feel like a bit like this:

How's things over your side? other than the dreary weather?

Yeah, quiet, very strange. I've lost some income but not too bad. My main client has been rock solid, I've been very lucky.

beautiful cold monday morning to all. frost on the lawn & blue sky.

@siringo said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

just received 7M of firewood

I assume that is that 7m3.
How long will that last you?

Hopefully 1.5 winters. we have a reverse AC as well, but when it gets bloody cold, you gotta have real fire.

Update - No one in the house is showing symptoms. No fevers or anything - Doctor said if we dont show symptoms by friday (this week) we can end our quarantine.. SO far So good.

that's great news, hope things continue to improve.

friday morning, grey and dull. cold but not freezing (freezing by AUS standards that is).

supposed to be back at work as usual for my main client next week, which means on-site. so i sent out an email asking for everyone to tell me what needs doing. received 2 'thanks' replies and no work. Next week may be the start of a 'new normal' i'm wondering???
i'm staying pretty much at home until i'm needed on site.

Not sure what you are referencing?

@scottalanmiller said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

Just got approved to move, talking to a real estate agent to figure out how to make it happen.

@scottalanmiller , this... WTF getting approved to move?

Oh, hahaha. Approved by my wife! She's what's held me back from 100% moving for years now.

Ahh, approval from the Minister for War and Finance.

Happy Day 1 of winter.

So if you're running away from an axe wielding homeless homicidal maniac and heading towards a hospital, you won't have any problems.

repurposing an old Dell T610, currently running 2008R2, trying to put 2019 onto it.
Hyper-V host and an admin PC on it.

running up a mesh central machine in a controlled environment. i'm half allowed to, half not allowed to, I'll see how we go.

beautiful sunny clear -1 degree morning. TGIF.

Classic MS

Just suss'd out sharing Onedrive folders with users outside the org.
Documented in my own words so it makes sense to me.
These things get changed so often, it's much better now than it was 2 years ago.

there's just so much that your average Joe and Josephine just don't comprehend when it comes to accounts, IDs, logins etc. They just don't realise how much information and access they give away when sharing devices, throwing away old devices, logging into services and so on.

i've also come across ipads used by students where a teacher has used their personal credit card to buy an app and the card info is still there and their apple id is still logged in.

technology changes so quickly and the demand to have it used, progresses way ahead of any training or shared knowledge that is available to people.
