Putting the finishing touches on a new router configuration for the shiny new fiber internet connection that Spectrum finished installing and activating today. Remote workers shouldn't have anything to complain about anymore, since this connection provides 5 times the upload bandwidth that we are used to.

There has to be a great story behind this.

LOL - I imagine the following YouTube video is the source for that:
Back Up Terry!

Great way to start out a Friday: OMSA says one disk is predicted to fail. Backups are good, so marked it offline, swapped it with the spare, now waiting for rebuild to complete.

I will also chime in and say that Udemy is great. I have been very impressed with how thorough the content for the courses I have purchased has been. Definitely worth the money if you ask me.

I also got a notification from haveibeenpwned that quite a few of our user's email addresses were affected. What a perfect way to start out a Monday!

I've had great success with various editions of SyncBack. Currently using SyncBack Free at home and have used SyncBack Pro here with our file server, before we started using Veeam.

Everywhere in Upstate NY there are Christmas decorations up. This is ridiculous.

How about this for ridiculous:

One of my friends said that they started playing Christmas music on one of his favorite radio stations 1-2 weeks ago, so he has been listening non-stop during his car rides.

@jmoore Based on our experiences with using it since 2001, I've found that the only thing it is quick at is frustrating the people who are stuck using and/or supporting it.

Of course, that could partially be due to our company file being 1.29 GB in size...

Looking at purchasing a OnePlus 7T to replace my current Nexus 6P. Really like the specs on it, and the price is right around what I want to spend.

@Dashrender Further to what @WrCombs quoted above, it was a hospital stay for a pulmonary embolism (blood clot in the lung). Scary experience that I don't want to repeat ever again.
