Don't forget that "may you live in interesting times" is a curse

Ive been using exim, hardly a change to my config in many years.so there is almost no point in having a webui to config. Works great. Front end with pfsense and pfblocker, add spamassassin, it is very, very, very solid once you get over the initial configuration hump. Migrate by copying the config file to the new server.

Cheaper than a car payment.... By a lot. I budget about 1500 a year and just act like thats my car payment.

Fsil2ban piped to pfblocker works great. Plus snort

Thst seems like a good option. Ive got some test beds to try it out on

Yes of course. So BSD Truenas is dead? That is a True shame, as BSD is rock steady reliable and runs on truly ancient hardware just fine.

Even if the virtualized router is down, I'll still have access to the physical server over the network until the DHCP lease expires. The switch does the work of delivering my packets on the LAN, not the router.

Yes, of course it depends on your network topology. If you have a link in the same subnet you're good (and can configure a static IP if need be). But if you're using vlans you can get in a pickle if the router is down. In my setup everything on the user side is segregated so if the router goes down I have to take a dedicated management laptop and plug into the host management network directly on the management switch where i keep a port empty. This maintains segregation and in practices means I take my ancient Acer Aspire One used for nothing else into the server room that looks strangely like a laundry room and plug it in.

It works great as long as you have a method to access the server directly when the router machine is down. A laptop set to a static IP on the same subnet will let you access the host when you b0rk something. Keep a backup config on that machine It's pretty great though. Just remember pfsense won't support more than 7 external interfaces when you start getting crazy with vlans

 

Just find your store, then search for whatever you can't find. Tells you what they have and what aisle it's on. IT'S AWESOME

And there are pretty active groups in Austin. It is pretty trivial to get a GMRS license for UHF walkie talkies and use of the GMRS repeaters around town, and not too hard to get the basic Technician license to get the real goods and talk far far away.

North/south roads are surprisingly icy while east/west roads are less so. Still showing a little. Definitely don't drive for a few hours if you don't have to although 35 seems OK. Saw some black ice too.

 

This beer was fermenting normally for about 16 hours then foamed heavily. I guess its infected but I don't know how, usual strict precautions were taken. Outgassing like crazy.

The Celtic Festival was Nov 2-3. It is still low key and a lot of fun although I liked it better at Fiesta Gardens. Ticketing was a little bit of a pain with the silly SI app.

Good bands, Irish dancing, the games, lots of good food. Beer was crazy crazy expensive, something like $20 a pint at the pour it yourself trailers. This was sad as I remember just taking a 20 and having 3 or four glasses out of that not counting tips. The whiskey tasting was fairly engaging.

Excellent bands, the venue is nice, and all in all my main conplaint is the beer price. Because that was insane.

 

Verdict: not great, not terrible. VIP probably not really worth it.

Had VIP for James/Marr. The rear VIP area is nice, but far form the stage and people line the rail so hard to see.

The stage VIP area is just about useless. If you aren't at the rail on the left side, you can't see a thing and even then the speaker blocks a good part of the stage.

A good spot on the floor not behind a tree or way back to the right or behind the sound booth or behind a tree has a great view, and the sound is probably way better.

Sound was mid. Couldn't hear the guitarist from James talking, and it was a bit muddy at times.

Inside looked just as I remembered it. Good for small shows.

 

Of all the things I did not expect, this is on up there. But it is pretty awesome.

Bad things have happened to me and next to me and behind me because of niceholes wanting to control the traffic flow.
