I am the owner of a real-time utility website, spectrumoutage.org, which tracks internet service outages. I am currently facing a persistent "Ad Serving Limit" from Google AdSense due to "Invalid Traffic" concerns, and I am looking for help analyzing what on the site might be triggering this. The Situation: The site provides live updates on ISP outages. Because of the nature of the content, users tend to refresh the pages frequently to see if their service has been restored. What I've Checked: Traffic Sources: According to my analytics, the majority of traffic is organic search or direct. I am not using any paid traffic or bots. Ad Placement: I am using standard AdSense Auto-Ads. Content: The content is utility-driven and unique to regional outages. My Questions for the Community: Could the high frequency of user refr

I am currently going somewhat crazy debugging an issue regarding my OU and the way GPO's are applied. I have noticed, that there are invisible undocumented rules being applied to any servers within this built in OU "Domain Controllers". Servers behave differently when they are in that OU as oppose to a different one even when the applied gpo are identical. (i turn off inheritance and link the same ones to both OU). The output of gpresult confirms that the policies are the same. I obviously do not want to have to put non dc servers into my dc OU. The only reference or documentation i can find to this issue is this https://community.spiceworks.com/t/whats-special-about-the-domain-controllers-ou/930162 which is sadly not very helpful and points to a dead link for an article that explains further. Any information you

If LACP declaration (server side) will still send traffic when one of the NICs fails, is there any advantage to declaring a bond as one primary one slave? Other than having the backup on a financially cheaper route I cannot see any positive to it. Is there any valid technical argument in favour? I am trying to steer our automation toward LACP as a install default rather than active_backup as it is now.

Kubernetes supports user namespaces, and apparently supports id-mapped mounts. Tools like podman allow for using id-mapped mounts via the idmap option to --mount, but there doesn't appear to be anything in the kubernetes docs about how to use id-mapped mounts. What are the options that are required to be set in the PV/PVC/Pod config for performing an id-mapped mount?

I have an active-backup Linux network bond with the following setup. # bond0 modprobe bonding # add_master ip link add dev bond0 type bond # setup_master ip link set dev bond0 type bond mode active-backup miimon 100 ip link set dev bond0 type bond primary_reselect failure # enslave_slaves ip link set dev wlan0 master bond0 ip link set dev wlan1 master bond0 ip link set dev bond0 type bond primary wlan1 The wlan0 interface is connected to a Linux AP device which is bridged over ethernet to a consumer router. The wlan1 interface is directly connected to the same consumer router. Then the following occurs: Primary goes down Backup becomes active Primary recovers and becomes active again The following then happens: The Linux device connected on the other end ofwlan0 CAN ssh into it and make any connections. However, on ALL other

Any suggestions on where I might find a power-latch circuit for a Lenovo Thinkserver RD650 which will not power on in the UK? LED's are on fine and power is getting to the motherboard as I can connect to it via TSM but won't boot either from the power switch or from TSM.

Where can I find documentation for Openvpn's new combined config/state/log file? For a number of years we have been using OpenVPN with the simple key-value pair config files with a .ovpn file extension. An added complication is that we use (short TTL) client certificates as part of the authentication. Automating the certificate refresh is trivial - we just need to update the file referenced in the configuration. However in the most recent MS-Windows version, this is replaced by a JSON file at %APPDATA%\OpenVPN Connect\config.json which appears to combine state and log data along with the CA AND client certificates. The data itself is stored within a JSON encoded string inside the JSON encoded file with added backslashes for good measure. There also seems to be some XML fragments in there too. Since the certificates and keys are embedded in this file, it apparently needs to be regenerated when the client certificate is to be updated. While it is poss
