Spiders love to build webs in front of our security cameras - if I clean them, they often will start rebuilding almost immediately.  I ran across a recipe for a DIY peppermint oil based repellant, tweaked it with AI and am going to give it a try.  Here is the modified recipe as well as the link to the original video.

I've run into a scenario where Outlook PST files are being placed in a read only mode.  This is not ideal for managing email and keeping it for historical purposes.  

In the following keys:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\PST
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\PST
Setting the PSTDisableGrow to 0 will allow writing and setting it to 1 will disable writing.  

Unfortunately, these registry entries require admin to modify.

I'm moving a number of my physical machines to Proxmox virtual machines.  Here are some notes on the process.

There are a number of community scripts for Proxmox located here: https://community-scripts.org/

After installing the Proxmox software, run the PVE Post Install script here: https://community-scripts.org/scripts/post-pve-install.  This will set up a number of things such as the enabling the correct repositories and disabling the nag screen.

I'm going to run Pi-Hole in a LXC container via this script here: https://community-scripts.org/scripts/pihole
