Black as night and storming heavily. This does not bode well for our power and phones. I guess we'll be testing the OPSes today whether we like it or not.
Walk postponed due to thunderstorms. Hiding in enclosed area because Sidekick is a chicken
Apple Watch arrived. Now paired with phone. preparing to go for a walk with it.
Not as cumbersome and silly looking as I initially thought it would be,
Display is more readable than I thought it would be.
Band is adequately large.
Setup was typically idiot-friendly which is nice because I have been fighting Linux all day.
@matigo That's the best I can figure. What I do not understand is how only half of the rules vanished. They are tied to zones which are supposedly independent of the device attached to them. Half tempted to tear into that code.
@matigo What really got me was some of the forwards still existed (ssh, an application specific thing or two we need out there) but imap, imaps, smtp, smtps, etc were gone.
Linux is becoming what Windows was a few years back.
NetworkManager inexplicably dupes a NIC. Makes it Wired Connection 1 and Wired Connection 2. Original is deleted.
Deleted the faux entries and the original one magically reappeared. However, all firewalld rules were missing thus rendering services with WAN connectivity null and void. All masquerading gone. etc.
Mind made up. Will replace this box with a pfSense appliance.
Had a very productive night far away from electronic devices of any sort. I need to do this more often.
Sidekick’s response to “I’ve been at work since 5:00AM, everything is breaking and I did not sleep”
Why did I marry such a monster?
@matigo What used to be a simple config file in RHEL6 for iptables is a mess in firewalld. Had to delete and re-create a network interface to solve the problem. Even though it's mac and uuid were unchanged, firewalld lost it and I had to use their crappy GUI tool.
Fortunately, that box is slated to be replaced with a pfSense router when I find the time.
