The Genesis... Mar 03, 2000 - passed my RHCE

As I am sorting through my online accounts and Internet presence, I had stumbled upon my Certification History for Red Hat.  Mar 03, 2000... that was *seriously* a long time ago.

HomeLab - Sophos XG SSL VPN and Comcast

Ugh... Comcast.  This sucked particularly much as this was my first attempt to configure a VPN back to my HomeLab and therefore was not sure what options I should have *known* would work.  Anywho... Sophos SSL VPN uses 8443 by default.  I spent a few hours trying to get through the config on the Sophos and my Linux client.  Nothing was working. For giggles I changed the Sophos to use 443, and then updated my client on my Linux workstation.  And suddenly it all works.  Fowk.  Tried 8443 again.  No love. I don't want to utilize port 443 as I intend to actually host some web apps for testing.  So, I have finalized on an "alternate" port which had to be configured on both the Sophos and the Linux client. I'l be doing a better write-up about this later.  I still need to figure out how to configure all this via the Gnome Network-Manager GUI.

Kind of a Gluster ... Installation woes on 3.11

Update (and TL;DR:) - make sure you are using the right version of Ansible.  For whatever reason I had believed that I should be at 2.6.  Once I updated to 2.8 everything ran correctly. This is probably one of those times when my persistence coupled with OCD behavior was NOT on my side... I have spent literally weeks (elapsed) and probably days (actual) of time trying to deploy my OCP 3.11 Cluster to use Gluster for the Persistent Storage (apps and infra).  And it has failed.. and failed... and failed miserably. Started off with one hypervisor - Xeon and 96GB of memory, 2 x TB of HDD. VMs would (eventually) lock up and require hard restarts.  Hmm.. memory? So, I went and fired up my 3 x HP ML30s (each with 64GB and 1 TB of HDD) Still no love. I'm still fairly novice using Ansible and the scripts/role/playbooks/whatever they're called are actually pretty complex, not idempotent, have to be run in a specific order, etc... Huh? So - there will be a bunc...
