It does not. Expand your quote of his post and read it again.

@scottalanmiller said in trying to connect to US sites from Germany getting blocked:

my point was that replacing the device he can see mights till not fix things, since the blocking might be at the other end of the WAN link.

Your point is correct, everyone knows that by replacing the router it could potentially make the problem go away or at verify that the router is not the problem. I am not arguing that. But I am arguing how you think you got to that point.

I was responding to what I thought. He mentioned that he couldn't replace that device. And I pointed out that because if there is that filtering going on it's possible to be at the other end of the WAN rather than his end. More likely his, but not certain. A lot of smaller carriers in Europe have their own last mile gear and can filter along the path. For example, in Italy, even with a DSL connection, the DSL originated in my house AND terminated there. It connected to a wireless link next door.

But nothing in any of that text implies that "it is even doing it on the device"

You cannot have it both ways. Your tear the fuck out of people for using the wrong words and responding to someone's words in a way other than what has been wrote.

He was talking about replacing the existing device for the purpose of hopefully removing the filtering with the presumption or hope that that was teh location where it was happening.

No you were.

Nope, read from the top. First mention of port blocking was in the OP. First mention of replacing the gear was by the OP in this one:

How Intuit is still in business blows my mind, they should've lost all their customers years ago.

And any accountant or bookkeeper that recommends them should be fired. How could you trust an accountant that thinks using a tool like that is okay for a real business?

Other than the lack of real two sided accounting, what is it about this product you don't like?

Other than the support none of those apply to the hosted SaaS version.

Agreed!

The more often you are forced to rebuild, the more you will be encouraged to automate.

Can you sysprep before adding the trial license? That way you could just clone and add the license automatically.

Start by automating your job with scripting in the appropriate language for your systems (powershell or bash).

Then one you understand the logic flow of scripting, you can choose to get into development and actual programming.

This provides you with the benefit of improving your knowledge and your work environment at the same time.

I definitely agree with this. It actually makes the knowledge that you are gaining applicable to your everyday life to begin with. That's huge. I also agree with Scott that scripting langs are very popular right now. Compiled does have it's place in my opinion but there are arguments to be had there. That being said compiled languages would be the last thing that I would suggest for a sysadmin as it's applicability would be very little for you (if any).

@jmoore said in I need some ideas how to use spare server:

Host your own blog, bulletin board, Irc, mail client, and I'm running out of ideas.

Wrong direction. All that is more of a hobby. Elk stack was a good suggestion, I'm leaning towards Sensu, Vector, Salt, Consul, perhaps Snipe-It, that kind of stuff.

Sensu looks like it could be interesting. I may give that one ago too.

@scottalanmiller I'll try it the next time I'm in vi.

I visited someone's home tonight that had two Unifi APs, one at either side of the house. Though one half the house had horrible connections. Turns out the second AP had no power. Reset connections, tada! AP back online and wifi is awesome!

Is best and more efficient to buy a new powersupply rather than spending time on an older workstation. The fan needs to be desoldered and then solder the new one back in. That's a lot of time of labor that can readily be done with a $34 part.

This is why I don't enter contests with Meraki as the prize. Its like giving somebody a satellite dish as a present.

Given that you can do end to end SSL with CF, how does CF enable the NSA?

Exactly, so again I ask the OP,

OH?

Never Mind.

Found the issue, and added the A Record accordingly - points like it should.

There was no record at all?

I had added the record. But didn't work. searched for record, not there.
Was in wrong zone.

That is 100% no record at all.

Well that sucks, have to purchase it on Mac. . ..

Only $1.99 but still.

@jmoore said in Trying to Install log.io on Fedora 26:

I finally got Log.io running and I like it. It will be really useful on the server for my website.

Nice, welcome to the club 🙂

Mainly at home, however, i do keep a virtual machine running at work with it installed. Some things I just prefer to do using Fedora. I find it much more flexible and I just like the software better in a lot of cases.

@jmoore said in log.io on Fedora 26 Cannot Fine logging:

Oh ok, that sure is weird.

Just a bit.
