I’ve noticed some performance issues since enabling TLS, I’m working on finding the root cause.

I’ve completed enabling TLS site wide, I will continue to test to make certain everything is working properly.

The site was down earlier today so I could migrate my WordPress blog into my root directory—The migration is now complete, next up SSL.

So I had an issue today in which I kept getting an error message when I attempted to upgrade my ubuntu server, it basically said I was out of disk space, which was odd as I had a 2TB drive as this is a Plex server, after running df -h I quickly noticed that /boot was @ 100% full, so after a quick Google I found the below solution. If /boot is 100% full you will not be able to just run ‘sudo apt-get autoremove’ you’ll receive a bunch of error messages, so you will have to manually delete some files.

So I had to call VMware support today because I noticed on all of our Esxi 6.5 hosts when I attempted to run services.sh restart I received the following message “Errors: Invalid operation requested: This ruleset is required and cannot be disabled” which made no sense to me as I am accustomed to seeing all services restart when I entered that command. But after a brief communication with VMware support they informed me that that was the new expected behavior for that command, and in order to see the services restart, I need to run the following command " services.

So here is my home lab config while I’ve seen others use servers built from SuperMicro or Intel NUC’s I wanted to build a lab as cheap as possible, so I went to eBay and got old enterprise gear, and they are as follows: HP DL380 G5 server(1) HP DL360 G5 server(1) Cisco 3750-E switch(1)(24 1Gb ports + 2 10Gb ports) I am currently running Esxi 6.0 with 2 external PSC’s and 2 VCSA’s in enhanced linked mode, I am currently rebuilding my lab and the new config will be 1 external PSC and 1 VCSA running 6.

Hello All, over the next few weeks I will be adding some posts here around my home lab config and my move to 10Gb networking—I will lay out some of the pitfalls and lessons learned, and I will lay out my config. So let’s get started…

Happy New Year to all, I have big things planned for my blog this year, stay tuned…

Hello All, well new year and new theme I’ve also updated to the latest version of Wordpress and this time without crapping up my database. I hope to add new content to the page this year. Also towards the end of last year I took and passed my VCP, so I am now a VCP5-DCV I hope my first of a few certs I would like to get.

I have upgraded Wordpress to version 3.8; I am really enjoying the new UI… great update
