Went to quilt club today. Its amazing how a little bit of time being creative, with genuinely kind and nice people can really make you feel good. This quilt is being donated to a soup kitchen. Next month we are making lap quilts for hospice.

And the magic combo is:

"boot_command": [
"<up>e<down><down><end><wait>",
" text inst.ks=http://{{ user `HTTP_IP` }}/{{ user `HTTP_PATH` }}",
"<enter><wait><leftCtrlOn>x<leftCtrlOff>"
],

That worked!

Is anyone using Packer and VMware and Rocky Linux? I'm having an issue with Rocky 10 and the packer boot. Using the example boot command here https://docs.rockylinux.org/10/guides/automation/templates-automation-packer-vsphere/ I end up with a boot box that looks like "xt ip=[blah]" because I think grub changed and <tab> isn't the right key stroke to edit the boot, the 'e' from 'text' is. Thats why I get just 'xt' and what follows. I think I need to then send a control-x to boot. Maybe? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? My rocky 9 packer build still works great :-) #rockylinux #packer #vmwareESXi #grub2

To make the day better, I had a beer. Dudleytown Krampus Krumbs, and it was delicious. Holiday festive even!
Today in a meeting "Thats going to put us over the 2TB limit." I ask if that is a storage limit or a bandwidth limit. "A. Limit." Huh. Nevermind. #5O'ClockYet?
I'm watching the results come in from the Sys Admin final exam, and seeing how many students did great. Nice way to end the semester. Even if they didn't get my jokes.

Whats the latest (and in the easy) vulnerability scanner? I used to use Nessus back in the day, then OpenVAS was always a pain to get working. I haven't scanned anything in a few years so not sure whats in that "easy to use, decent output" category.
My wife used the word "dangles" in a sentence to which I replied "Cigarette dangles, makes me hot". She gave me a look like I was speaking crazy. I can't be the only one that knows this song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yViupkXLKDY
