  @stuartjordan We have an aggregator that puts it together for us:

  We are net importing energy because it costs more in CO2 taxes to run our coal plants.

  @laksh1999 your best bet would be to print out the Sec+ exam objectives and study each item on it.

  I used that and some practice tests for good measure.

  I've had better luck finding jobs with ZipRecruiter. It's supposed to be easier for someone looking to hire as well. Don't know about "the other side" tho.

  I tried this one last time I was looking for a part time person. it was a shit show like the rest.

  And really expensive.

  Result, not worth the cost.

  I'll pay more for quality.. It was not.

  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.

  Can you reassign disks between VMs yet?

  The hot add disks was a huge pain before. I couldn't believe I wasn't able to do that.

  @stuartjordan said in Convert Between Popular VM Formats for Free with StarWind:

  Looks good though if it does all. I assume it's a windows based product though?

  IIRC, yes you have to install it on a Windows system and then connect to the hypervisor in question to create / export the VM you're wanting to convert.

  It's been a while since I've last had to convert anything.

  @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.

  Awwww.... this was our sale day for tickets for the last MangoCon.

  Fingers crossed we get another soon.

  With dick shirts?

  How did this happen is the real question? 😂😂😂😂

  This had to be intentional?

  It was intentional, I was just sad I missed it.

  Whats the joke? We're dicks? 😂😂😂

  The joke was that the shirt had a questionably shaped object as the main center piece of the shirt. I didn't even feel comfortable wearing it around my kids. :) Right @scottalanmiller @Dominica ?

  You cannot say this at all with any authority BTW. Because you had not updated in years.

  @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.

  I've used Logitech trackballs for over 20 years now. Been using the M570 both at work and at home for quite a while.

  As for keyboards, I've also used various ergonomic keyboards (mostly logitech and MS) for the past 20 years. For the past 10+ years, my keyboard of choice is an Adesso PCK-208B...definitely not compatible with a tight workspace, but it works well for me. Initially bought it because, well, I'm cheap, and so was it.

  Awesome thing about having a ergo keyboard plus trackball at home:
  Visitor: Can I use your computer?
  Me: Sure, help yourself
  Visitor (looks puzzled staring at keyboard/trackball combo): Nevermind
  Me (Grinning): Suit yourself

  @gotwf said in SAMIT: IBM Is Killing Off CentOS:

  @scottalanmiller Yes. This I know. But this isn't bare metal but rather SmartOS hypervisor in a Triton datacenter. So I presume all is atop ZFS. I never delved deeper so honestly do not know.

  Hopefully not, as ZFS isn't all that fast. But you need XFS touching WiredTiger... what's lower in the stack isn't what it is concerned with. You still control your own filesystem regardless of what the datacenter may or may not use elsewhere.

  @Obsolesce said in YAML terminology and Ansible:

  @Pete-S said in YAML terminology and Ansible:

  Other than that it doesn't matter to me what anyone calls it.

  You are 100% to call it whatever you want. But a key/value pair is commonly referred to as a dictionary... or a hash table which is a dictionary data type. This isn't exclusive to Python in the least.

  "Commonly referred" depends on the programming language in question. For example in many other languages it's commonly called an array or collection and never a dictionary.

  If you look at the part you quoted, YAML calls it mappings.

  The proper computer science terminology would be associative array.
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_array

  The best thing to do is to call it exactly what the language or software you are referring to calls it. If Ansible wants you to create what it has named in their documentation as a dictionary in YAML, that's what you refer to it as. Otherwise, someone who is familiar with Ansible and it's documentation won't know what the hell you are talking about if you call it your own thing.

  I can agree with that point of view - YAML in the context of Ansible.
  https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/YAMLSyntax.html

  So you'd call it dictionaries then. And lists.
