On Friday, I went to a sushi buffet at my old town for my birthday. I'd only had my 26 Calligraphy for a week, of which a couple days it was in a shop getting a protector for the hood and front end (invisible bra) so I'd have about 3-4 hours of highway driving to get used to that aspect of driving it.

While I've had a couple times driving with my mom's 21 Subaru Ascent that had something comparable to HDA, it seemed to fight me and just be poorly configured. Hitting the button to make cruise control accelerate made it jump 5 MPH instead of 1 (had to hold it for 1MPH increments), it complained if it thought I was too close to lines, etc. I just drove with those things turned off, and just handled cruise control adjustments manually instead. I'm told on her new 26 Ascent, CC adjustments are "normal", though I haven't had a chance to drive it.

So, I was definitely looking forward to seeing how it would work on the Santa Fe. I was very pleasantly surprised at how pleasant the experience was...though it didn't like me leaning my head back against the headrests (complained I needed to keep my eyes on the road when they were), and apparently my hands weren't applying enough pressure to the wheel (though they certainly never left it).

It changing lanes when I would use the turn signal was a very unexpected surprise, and took some getting used to.

But, driving it lead me to a couple conclusions. It's a bit too conservative on when to slow down when approaching another car. It'd start slowing down before I would if I were doing it all manually, because I'd know I was planning on changing lanes...and it's more aggressive on the lane changes when it actually changes lanes.

Is there a way to tweak these things? Or combine them?

I figure there's probably a setting in how close before it makes adjustments. I know there's a distance thing that it mentions that I haven't played with.

Let's say it takes 5 seconds to change lanes. Is there a way to have it make those changes more gradually, like say over 10 seconds?

Is there a way, since it has sensors everywhere, it can know to change lanes if it's available and safe (obstruction free) rather than slowing down when it reaches whatever threshold it's configured to?

I didn't have enough traffic to really be able to test these things out on Friday...and I'm not exactly keen on strangers being unwitting test subjects.

I'm sure I'm missing something simple, as I'm trying to do this through just ESXi rather than the full vCenter suite, as it's a test system and we're not going to license it. (I'm only using VMware for better capability to load something from production if needbe without translting to ProxMox).

There are physical 3 NICs on this machine:
40Gb Fiber (will be unplugged once we're configured) that plugs into the corp network.

1Gb RJ45 (this will be the primary connection that will go to a Fortigate that we'll VPN into to keep it isolated from the corporate network, but still be able to use our WAN.

1GB RJ45 via a USB NIC (fling) that will connect to a cradlepoint for a completely isolated connection that will be used by our security guy for testing things.

When I go into a VM, and click on Network Adapter 1, the only network that comes up in the dropdown is VM Network. Its port group goes to vSwitch0, which it shares with Management Network.

vSwitch "Isolated" has a port group called "Isolated -Cradlepoint". It's pointed to the the USB NIC, and is pulling an IP from its DHCP.

I have to assume I'm missing something fairly obvious, but I'll be damned if I can figure it out.

Our prod setup has 4x vSwitches, but only 1 (the management network) is being used for a bunch of networks with different vLANs. 1 is a black hole for us to keep separated from the network if it needs to be held onto(no physical NIC).
The other 2 vSwitches are going to iSCSI and vSAN connections, each going to their own teamed NICs.

I have no issue getting the black hole to show up with the production as a drop down option...but I don't see any configuration difference in the networking other than what would be expected for different IP addresses and NIC names.

I bought a 12 pack 4.5 years ago, and I'm pretty sure there was an error so I got a double order of it. Maybe that was the order before...anyway, I'm on my last tube.

Completecare tastes different, and we won't even get into hydroxicare. Blech!

Are there any others out there that taste like what I'm used to? I've been a huge fan of the Arm & Hammer baking soda stuff for 30+ years now...

I'll start this out with Fortinets not being my expertise. I've not had to configure one of these in years, and even then, it was following our setup guide or using the old Fortigate we were replacing as a template and adjusting values as needed when we were upgrading 40Cs to 60Ds.

I've been asked to set up 2FA on a Fortigate. It's a sub-60 model, but I don't know if it's a 30 or something else off the top of my head (no longer VPN'd in).

I know that it has the 2 free FortiTokens, but whenever I set up a test user with one of those tokens, I never receive and email or an SMS after being configured.

I don't see and SMTP listing, and I have no clue what'd be used for SMS, so I'm assuming it's something on the Fortinet's server (I don't want to say "cloud")) end, like the DDNS stuff.

What do I need to do to get an email or SMS sent to me? From what I've read, I'm supposed to receive something to enroll myself into it receiving those things, but I never get it. It's not getting shuffled off to spam, as this is going to a relatively unused email address. I've downloaded Fortitoken to my tablet but it wants a code to do anything, which what I assume would be getting sent.

Also, I know 2 tokens won't be enough for their use, is the Fortitoken mobile 5 pack what I'd want to tell them to get once I can get 2FA working on test accounts? Or do I need to tell them to look at something else?

We use Duo at my workplace, but I don't know that I'm wanting to look at a different product altogether at this time.
