Just put #pop_os back on my home file server after some random update broke the samba shares on Linux Mint.
Like broke Samba and I couldn't fix it or figure out what happened in a timely manner when I had a trpg to run.
Made due with a thumb drive to get the files I needed moved back and forth so we could do the trpg session on Saturday. By EOD Sunday the machine was back on Pop and all resources restored.
Pop stable might be a bit behind due to the #COSMIC DE environment work, but at least it's stable.
Why was I messing with Mint if I had Pop on there previously and it was working fine? Was running Mint on it so spouse could get used to it before moving his gaming machine to Mint from Windows ahead of October 2025. However due to the issues, I'm more likely to move him to Pop and just be patient until COSMIC DE is at a stable point for any new kernel features I'd like.

If you're in Saint Louis, Missouri and looking for a Lvl 1 IT helpdesk job that is part remote, part onsite, the place I work is hiring 2 people.
Workplace is LGBTQ+ friendly, health insurance (covers HRT quite a bit among other things) and 401k benefits, further IT education opportunities and room to move up the ladder into what you fit with or want to pursue.
They reimburse cert exam fees also if you pass, and each new cert is a pay increase on top of other regular performance pay increases.
Relevant IT experience or 1 or 2 certs is preferred to start, but not necessary if a quick learner. I started with the Google IT cert course and years of personal dabbling along with being the family IT help. I started on Helpdesk 1 and after <2 years have moved up quite a bit.
Will post again when upper management has the actual listing up. If interested now I can put in contact with someone in hiring probably.

Found a few Cisco Meraki MA-ANT-3-D6 wifi antennas but have no idea when it comes to Cisco stuff how to potentially utilize these.
What kind of controller system goes with these?
