I've driven over 3800 miles in the last three weeks and I feel like hitting the road again. It's actually really bad for one's health to spend that much time behind the wheel but I gotta keep movin'

on

keep movin' on.

That is definitely third world problem.

Then you should be fine. Why not pfsense or sophos in a vm?

This is a web server facing the internet. There's no network firewall, it's just facing internet directly with a public IP, hence a local firewall. I do use pfsense at home for my network though. Running pfsense for just one server would be kind of overkill and having to setup VMs that handle network access on a server I have no physical access to is adding a huge layer of complexity and risk that I may lose access if something happens to the VM, or it does not start on it's own after a reboot, etc.
 
As a side note I just realized that fail2ban is not even blocking IPs properly. Explains why the attempts were happening so often. I had to manually block the IP.

Decided to just try from home to see and I'm not getting blocked even though it's firing the alert.
 
I think updates keep overwriting my config files. Who knows how long it's been this way. It keeps defaulting to port 22 and I have ssh set on another port so the logs don't get flooded by bot traffic. Though I wish it would just block the IP completely instead of only a certain port. I was never able to figure out how to do that. Fail2ban is not really all that well documented.
 
Accidently clogged up my toilet @ 5:45 AM.

(Thankfully,it's just water spilling over...)

Did not really plan on having this happen this early in the morning.

Got pretty much all my towels down on the bathroom floor to try to sop up the watery mess.

Not at all what I wanted to deal with on a Tuesday morning after a 3-day weekend.
 
F'ing VB6 apps. I need to do some updates on one and it's just a pile of shit (code wise, IMO). The Form_Load function, one function, is 4894 lines long. One function almost 5000 lines. Granted there's a bunch of comments and commented out code, but the majority of lines are active/legit. It's an old app (earliest comments are dated 2006) and I know it just grew and grew and grew, but people just slopped code together as fast as possible instead of taking their time a bit and separating things out and making something a little more maintainable. Ugh.

I hope my new job, whenever I decide to go after one, is just .NET and no VB6 coding too.
 
I closed Google Earth five minutes ago. It is still using a gig of memory and 25% CPU time.

I have two tabs open in Chrome. It is using 900Megs of memory and running thirteen processes.

Ugh I hate VB. That and ASP (which is basically VB). Have not had to touch that stuff in a long time thankfully. Well I have not coded in along time in general... I want to get back into it. I tend to be more of a C++ person myself for applications and php for web. I don't like proprietary languages.

Yeah Firefox does this too. I bet mine was gonna be similar (I have two tabs open, ATOT and a Bing search) and sure enough:

Haha yeah I did some ASP at my first out-of-college job, doing web design. Not too fun.

I've done a bit of C++, had a class about it in college, but I much prefer Java and especially .NET/C#. God I love the .NET Framework and Visual Studio and all that it entails. Just such a powerful development system. Microsoft releasing a full featured Visual Studio for free was just an awesome move. I really like the current CEO, I think he's a lot better than Balmer was.
 
Third world problem... I used up my high speed data allotment in the middle of a big download, and the estimated time left is now 20 hours :^S

Bought a Xeon E3-1230v3 on eBay, but received a Xeon E3-1230 instead. Return was accepted immediately, but I was really looking forward to upgrading my NAS this weekend.
 
The arm just broke off my computer chair. Snapped the metal. Probably from hauling myself off the chair when my back's tweaked. I don't exactly need it, but it feel weird not having it there,
