Wow, on a high end Juniper switch? That's more bad ports on a single Juniper than I've seen first hand on decades of use of Netgear!

@scottalanmiller history | grep Roboto reveals these:

sudo restorecon -v /home/john/.local/share/fonts/Roboto-Black.ttf sudo semanage fcontext -a -t FILE_TYPE '/home/john/.local/share/fonts/Roboto-Black.ttf'

Really quite simple since NVM is so simple itself. Just used the standard curl + bash command to run the NVM install of the version of my choice (handling updates will have to come in a later version.) I use the install directory relocation option and that puts NVM into /usr/local/nvm rather than into the user's own folder. Then just source the newly installed nvm.sh file and run the NVM Node.js install command as usual. Voila.

Updated to the latest NVM and NodeJS versions.

There is also the ability to check out the repo and just use get to pull the current but if I do that how do I didn't install in the same fashion that this is installed?

I've not tried that either.

They also forget about SELinux with their CentOS 7 docs. You need sudo setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect 1 and possibly sudo chcon -R --type=httpd_syscontent_rw_t /opt/kibana

Up and running now.

Since you have that thread about testing out Vultr...

They don't explain it very well there but you can spin up a VM with OwnCloud already installed and ready to go.

It runs on CentOS 6, but still very handy!

Look what I just found!

Ok, I'd think it'd be a simple thing to add the CentOS 6 repos, run a yum update, and allow the packages to update. What makes it not that simple?

That it does nothing. A CentOS 5 system, pointed to CentOS 6 repos will simply see the as not applying. You can't change your OS version using YUM.

Oh, I was not aware of that.

Maybe you are thinking of Minor release updates, not major release.

Yeah, must be.

It really does work most of the time. It's difficult to make a plug and play, one size fits all product for business computing. Every environment is unique, and every admin has their own methodology to configuring their architecture (often, that is driven by general cluelessness and/or ignorance). I think that, given the diversity of what you have to be able to adapt to, the roughly 95% success rate that I have seen with incremental forever is pretty decent. The thing that makes it somewhat aggravating is that it is a proprietary mechanism that is held rather tightly. Even inside of Unitrends, there doesn't seem to be a lot of general knowledge floating around about how to fix it when it doesn't work. The algorithms that control it are basically "unknown". It's a magical thing, powered by pixie dust, and you don't mess with it; it just kinda does its thing. If you have a Unitrends support contract, and it's giving you trouble, they can help diagnose it and get it fixed. For the rest of us...

Only complaint would be that for a backup system, 95% success rate is way, way too low for it to be a recommendation. It should be a "this is really fragile but if you want to give it a shot and monitor it closely, here it is" kind of thing at that point. It's a neat idea but if it doesn't match the reliability of traditional setups, I'd think recommendations should fall to the reliable. No aspect of IT has a stronger leaning towards consistent, conservative and reliable as backups.

Time for weekend updates, it sounds like.

The Syracuse pool is not great for IT. Not qualified IT people.

It's got plenty of Cisco people. Everyone does. Way more than there are jobs. They are just unable to attract them.

Most Cisco people I know have moved to sales for telecom companies (verizon etc) doing Business 2 Business sales because they can make a lot more money than the Network jobs will pay.

Most network people can't do sales jobs.

I am an exception to that...lol

Where did you get this image? Is it a modified one or something?

I think it's his...

I mean the CentOS image.

Ah ok. Yeah, I'm wondering who was already screwing with it....

Howto Forge on How to Install MiraDB on CentOS 7. MiraDB is a lightweight DNS server that is often used instead of the more famous BIND.

I think you are confusing Mariadb with MaraDNS there haha.

They run with surprisingly old CPU's

I know Ecuador and New York are in the same time zone. My cousin lived in Ecuador for over a decade, so that's how I know that...

We should start another thread as we've completely derailed BUT.... how did he like it? I'm planning on being in Panama over the summer and Argentina in January. Can't wait to spend some time in Central and South America.

First off, she. Lol And she loved it. My cousin is by far one of the most interesting people I've ever even heard of. She's lived in Ecuador, Cambodia, and now is in China with her new husband. She has friends on pretty much every continent, and I mean close friends. Her passport is insane with stamps from every country you can imagine.

@scottalanmiller said:

We lead with geo-specific deny rules to block regions before allowing ports.

And in that case it makes sense. You're blocking all traffic from China or Russia, for example. Then you allow the ports you want open but those countries are blocked, and maybe every other country is fine (hopefully you haven't blocked Spain... ;)), and then you deny the rest. That also makes logistical sense. I don't disagree with @thecreativeone91. It all comes down to what your objective is and then determining the best way to approach it.

Interesting, thanks.
