If you use Active Directory on Windows, it fills it at least one search domain automatically. Windows is about the only place to see search domains still used frequently. This is primarily used for when Linux is put onto legacy style Windows based LAN networks.

I wish I thought that means that firmware updates will no longer be held behind a paywall.

@CloudKnight said in Rethinking Virtualization? Start with Hyper-V 2025:

I wouldn't even consider hyper v. Proxmox and xcp-ng are the future

And like, they were the "now and future" like, a decade ago. This isn't a recent thing.

@gjacobse said in Recommendation for home WiFi router:

@JaredBusch
the UniFi Express 7 looks pretty decent in capacity and features - and likely a contendor replacement for the UniFi Lite Router I have since my NTG days. Has that really been ten years ago now?

I will say I sort of feel that they seriously missed the mark in the design. Seems that USB-C has to be shoved into everything - but seriously - why!!??

They could have easily put the PSU into the unit and only had the AC power cable. True, the unit shouldn't need to be moved once in place. But,.. really? Get real - Just because USB--C can do so much, doesn't mean that you need to use it everywhere - especially when all you are suppling is 5v. Incorporate the whole thing and it'll be a better format.

That said,.. I'm still likely to move to something like it or this in the future.

I had a location with a UniFi Lite router that died around a year ago. Upgrading to the UniFi Express doubled their throughput with QOS enabled. Went from 300MB download to 600MB. Upload is limited because of the cable connection.

@EddieJennings yeah, that would be nice for sure.

@Oksana VMware still exists? LOL Why?

@scottalanmiller said in Proxmox backup to remote PBS over Zerotier:

If you haven't played with it for tiny scale stuff, TailScale makes this SO easy to do.

I do have a TailScale account, but didn't think of it because I already had some other stuff at the location already on Zerotier.
