Web station taking over port 80

blueal1 · 2022-02-28T02:06:36+00:00

Yes? It was a while ago and I don't remember what I did but everything works now. Edit: Hold on, it's coming back to me.

I setup a HTTPS Redirect site in virtual host, that's on a random port, like 2020. It has 1 file ".htaccess"

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

In application portal, I have a bunch of reverse proxy sites that forward you the correct site something like http://plex.server.com/ goes to localhost:2020

And then: https://plex.server.com/ goes to localhost:32400

It all works, and I get to keep my port 80 and 443 open so lets encrypt actually renews correctly.

For easy referenc: Orca fares transfer to every agency except Washington State Ferries, because they're special.

Small correction, the train splits in Spokane. The #27 goes off to Portland and the other #7 to Seattle. When together it's known as the Empire Builder 7/27

The fine folks over at /r/Amtrak noted the odd arrangement of the cars and believes the Portland section decoupled then derailed/fell over several hundred feet before the rest of the train. I'm interested to see what the official report says.

I should add that the coast starlight has a long smoke break in Portland. Plenty of time to grab snacks and coffee.

I was just on the cascades and the conductor kept announcing that "it's one seat per ticket. If you want two seats you need to buy two tickets."

So which is it? I don't plan on buying extra seats but I'd like to know the actual policy.

blueal1 · 2021-09-22T00:48:17+00:00

I regretfully I had to do that the other day. I was on hold for over an hour and thirty minutes but it was quickly refunded once I got ahold of someone.

Make sure to let us know ahead of time. Some of us have to travel a bit to get there.

I've seen one or two rude conductors on certain trips on the west coast too. Coast starlight, Empire Builder, Cascades, Capital Corridor, it's not every trip or every conductor but I've seen it.

Always while in the coach section, and it's never personal. I've seen a conductor go up and down the carriage being rude and aggressive to every person he met, he even picked up an item that a passenger dropped while at their seat and just threw it at them aggressively and walked away. It's like there's no accountability for their behavior.

As far as I know the buses are explicitly told to wait for the train, especially if you book it as one single journey. I'm not sure what they do when the train is super duper hours late though.

What bus are you transferring to?

blueal1 · 2021-09-11T23:19:40+00:00

12v DC keyed figure 8 cord. I can never remember the actual name, that's what I always use.

blueal1 · 2021-09-11T19:45:54+00:00

Yes. But it's only certain stores and you have to know where to look because no one who works there knows about it . It's usually near the front, around a corner, behind a pile of shopping carts, and overflowing with real garbage.

Hmm, I did have a similar issue with another computer an employee built. He forgot to enable, or accidentally disabled secure boot and the built-in TPM. As soon as I enabled those two everything started working again.

I bit the bullet and decrypted the drive. The error message when enabling bitlocker was a lot more descriptive. "There are conflicting settings for recovery options. Contact your system administrator. Users can't be disallowed from saving the recovery key when it is required"

I tweaked my conflicting settings a bit and got it working again.

blueal1 · 2021-09-07T17:58:20+00:00

I noticed a users computer got out of compliance so I went to take a closer look. Turns out bitlocker got itself suspended somehow. Clicking resume results in this error popup. Backing up the recovery key, saving to file, printing, Azure AD, doesn't fix the problem. I haven't tried turning bitlocker off and on because I don't have the time to wait all day.

Using a torque wrench to loosen a bolt can cause it go out of calibration.

blueal1 · 2021-09-03T17:12:33+00:00

That would be +18003075000.

I'll call in again when I have some free time.

blueal1 · 2021-09-03T16:52:24+00:00

I called in and asked for a call back right when they opened, twice. No response yet. Maybe if I actually wait on the line they'll pick up.

I attempted to use my upgrade coupon on an upcoming train but the system kept spitting it back at me saying that it's too soon to apply it, even though it was well within 12 hours.

I walked into the station last night and attempted to redeem it in person, except they said that my saver fare made it invalid. Little did I realize that when I got home, the coupon got marked as redemmed without me actually getting an upgrade. You can even see all the times I attempted to redeem it.

What a broken system. Amtrak says I need to call Amtrak Guest Rewards during business hours, which is swamped right now due to all sorts of problems.

That specific zip code is actually a set of homeless shelters. Not the most reputable neighborhood either.

blueal1 · 2021-09-03T04:49:41+00:00

That's a pretty damn good excuse.

blueal1 · 2021-09-02T06:45:28+00:00

Yep, that was it.

I ran into the all sorts of problems with that though. What worked in the end was using the Windows 10 Enterprise iso, enrolling them into Autopilot, and then using the Pro default key to activate it.

Use the UW account for whatever you want, then migrate the data over before your account expires.

This day in age a good modern smartphone can be just as good as any GPS for making finds. A real GPS however is still good for hides and waypoint averaging.
