For the record, at 10:30 in the video you talk about the original RoIT site failing. It was never released to the public as such, we played around with the idea of it for a while but setting up a non-profit entity and all that's involved in that was way more work and money than we'd originally thought. We decided not to go forward with the project since but I don't think that really counts as failing. I'm glad someone pointed to the WBM link, I had forgotten that we'd made the domain name into a rick roll, that made me smile.
@Obsolesce That's not the same solution at all, even if its mostly compatible.
For instance you can't open password protected documents in Web version.
@scottalanmiller said in New to Linux Administration: RHEL-Based or Debian-Based OS:
I agree, both is the obvious choice. But to truly answer the question, I'd focus on Ubuntu (not Debian) and then RHEL. Debian is great, but it is Ubuntu specifically that has the market.
Yes, almost the same is never the same as exactly the same.
I did some experimenting... but it's not always the case, it depends on what you are doing. But doing this with simple counting results:
And for fun lol....

Someone is actively implementing OI today? I thought that that was the legacy piece lingering on.
The AREV app was written in DOS 32 years ago. It was converted to OI 8 years ago. The guy who did the work died. It's proving to be very difficult to find someone who is fluent in OI that originated as AREV.
AFAIK OI is just a GUI for making .NET apps. Just working in the .NET might do the trick. Might not even need to know what OI is to do it.
Looking for a tech in Amesbury, MASS. Nothing crazy, just remote hands that can follow directions and stuff. Able to help someone remotely troubleshoot networking. Just need someone for an evening or something like that, but would like someone that could go back again from time to time as we have regular customers there.
Loosing good account reps seems to be the norm in the SBM... a sales person often seems to start out on the SMB desk, if they excel, they are promoted to other desks. This has happened to me at least three times across different vendors.
Veeam Backup & Replication V11 introduced the ability to build your own immutable, hardened backup repository. There’s no more need to use third-party compatible solutions, like WORM disk storage or others. Now, you can do that using any server with storage that meets the requirements plus several supported Linux distros and XFS.
Read Part 1 of 3, an article by Didier Van Hoye, a Microsoft MVP, that introduces the hardened repository, why it’s needed, how to set up an Ubuntu Linux server for that purpose, and which security measures to take to harden the repository.

Any update on this, just thought about it and wanted to see where this project is at.
Sadly, nothing for the foreseeable future.
@Pete-S said in To vSAN or not to vSAN?:
The problem the way I see it with old stuff like the OP has is while there is nothing wrong with the technology itself, everything is relatively slow with today's standard and much more complex than needed.
It's very true. And the risk today is that we are so accustomed to that complexity, that we often avoid the simple answers today.

So sad that we haven't done MC this year, ... yet. Missing everyone, more than usual.
You could have done a virtual MC and brought in even more attendees.
The physical ones are virtual as well so it doesn't seem like only virtual would bring in more than the two combined.
They were? I thought they were just recorded and posted to YouTube like a year later?
Were there actually live interactive broadcasts?
Yeah, maybe not the latest year, but the original two years were done live as well.
Who gave their presentations remotely? Weren't they all done on-site?
Everyone presented locally to the conference, and it was broadcast to a remote audience. So everyone was local if you were there. Everyone was remote if you weren't.
I know @gjacobse was one of the people who attended in year two remotely, for example.

@Dashrender said in Lenovo Bypass BIOS Options:
in the 2010's many laptops came with a boot to BIOS/setup button, a Tiny button typically on side of the laptop meant to help you bypass this rapid boot feature and ensure you get into the BIOS
Never seen that, ever.
My old Lenovo had it.
Want to blatantly promote yourself? Here is the place. Go crazy!

@Obsolesce that's a great visualization of it!
Except it could easily be Fedora there also.
And Fedora is not full of idiots thinking that they use Ubuntu because LTS and never upgrade shit.
I used to manage a Full Tolerance Infrastructure.
2 Devices of Everything (Routers, Firewalls, Edge Switches, Core Switches, Access Switches, etc)
2 Internet Providers
2 Private Circuits
