  @scottalanmiller said in NodeBB 2.0 Update | Ubuntu 22.04:

  The GIT repo isn't showing the 2 branch yet. Not sure why because it shows up on GitHub.

  Well they pulled it, so we are now on the "latest" again.

  @travisdh1 said in Ubuntu Ethernet before WiFi:

  No, you just need to pass the correct user to the ubuntu server when connecting with ssh/scp. IE ssh [email protected]

  Thought so, must be doing something wrong 😄 still asking for the minecraft password not "SSH Key" password
  Edit - Think it's just Terminal in Win11 - Putty seems to work

  @jaredbusch said in Indentation Style:

  @pmoncho tab indentation needs to die in nuclear fire.

  Thankfully, modern IDE systems like Visual Studio Code and others all auto swap a tab for 4 spaces by default.

  Personally, I prefer a 2 space indentation, but 4 seems to be the most common.

  I didn't think Tab's were that big of a deal as I never had an issue between Vi, Nano, Notepad or Notepad++. I guess it is mostly a habit from using text editors.

  Hmm... I always hated having press the space bar more than twice (only after "." mostly). Maybe I will try using two spaces in the next script to see how that pans out.

  @jasgot Let me know what you come up with ... I was just reviewing something similar. I was thinking if the wholesale cost of the phone is like $120 and retail is like $180 ... then to charge $10 / month for phones gives you a cost payback in 1 year, and normal profit at 18 months. I'd think if the contract period is 3 years, then you're for sure in the money and you really hope they keep them for 6 years. We do all inclusive pricing on phone setups meaning we roll in setup, management of the call flow, etc. all in there. So charge whatever you do per extension in that contract with the option of the phones as well. Depends on your business model whether they are a profit center or not. If not, then charge enough to make it worth your while, otherwise, let them get them and worry about warranty on them.

  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.

  Red Road Networks_1200x628.png

  Red Road Networks LLC, an American IT Managed Service Provider (MSP), needed to ensure the 24/7 business operations of its client company. However, the company had a non-clustered IT environment that was subject to both planned and unplanned outages, provoking high downtime. Using StarWind Virtual SAN (vSAN), Red Road Networks LLC builds a clustered and redundant IT environment for its client company and saves over $10000 on its IT operational expenses.

  Find out how Red Road Networks LLC ensures its round-the-clock service operations thanks to StarWind vSAN.

  @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.... about MangoCon 2022 ?

  About time to start discussing that. We fully own the hotel here now, so we are in a much better position to do planning.

  I have a few leftover days of vacation - depending on timing - I might come out there!

  @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.

  @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.
