I was going to add a new code snippet for doing select elements in Angular 1.5.7 when I happened to look at one of my earlier code snippets for array concatenation and realized my snippets are probably mostly from before I started working at my current job. The snippets are pretty lame. I may have to just delete them all and start from scratch. I don't even want to link to the snippets in their current iteration because they are that bad.

Plex Media Server not starting on Slackware Linux on reboot? I tried a couple of different things but eventually got it to start by doing this...

While logged in as the root user or sudo user, type the following to make that file exectuable.

chmod +x /etc/rc.plexmediaserver
chmod 755/etc/rc.plexmediaserver
crontab -e

Add @reboot /usr/local/plexmediaserver/start.sh --daemon to your crontab. Reboot and check if Plex Media Server is running.

./rc.plexmediaserver -start|-stop|-restart doesn't work but it at least gets Plex running on reboot. I need to dig into it more to figure out what's up with that.

Last week there was an outage as the DOH! Network servers power supply needed to be replaced. In the aftermath, email services were down for a few days. Email users were receiving 550 5.7.1 ... Relaying denied errors. The issue was resolved when our technicians found the resolve.conf file did not have the proper nameservers listed. Adding the nameserver IPs to the file corrected the issue.

Sample resolve.conf file content:

nameserver 104.11.70.233
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4
