  I just looked. The only place to add comments with Alertmanager are when an alert is silenced. I looked in Grafana as well and that might be of use. Grafana will let you set alerts on specific metrics and then you can set annotations on those alerts. Here's a sample graph with alerts (they're the red dotted line). You can click on the alert and give an annotation. Then when you hover over the alert you can see the annotations and tags.

I agree - my brother has mentioned a number of time the dock he has to support has a sloppy USB-C connector. even the slightest movement moved the connector enough to break the connection. Yeah, if that is the case, I will not use a dock and have the users connect the monitors and KB/M, directly. It sucks, but it works.

  The daemom is written in python and takes forever to rebuild the db if you restart it… I had ~1Tb in 2 millions of files. The thing is, it keeps track of the file chunks of every files… sort of joins object storage and file storage together. Very bandwith efficent, but horrible on cpu and I/O. I switched to nextcloud that lacks that feature, but it’s much faster and flexible.

Aren't these handled at the domain level so it knows that a new system has a newer cert? Honestly asking since I haven't run into this yet. No. It is handled on the cert serial number level. Ah ok. I've moved things in the past by simply reissuing on the new server, and dealing with the expiring certs is an annoyance.

  Most "hot new things" apply to existing technology. It's extremely rare that a new industry term arises before (or with) the invention of something. It's normally more a recognition of something that's been created. SaaS for example arose as a term decades after the idea was pioneered and at least five years after it was mainstream. But it doesn't make the things that predate the name not SaaS, it's just a super broad term.

I am a little confused about the difference between the two. Because when I installed Spice Tools, it installed drivers for various components... Spice Tools seems to work better. Maybe update the OP to say it is best to install Spice Tools, but if you need to manually install virtio drivers, here are the steps.... Oh just realized this was my thread. Will do. Edit: Yeah this is a little outdated. I'll fix it up. It's hard to keep all of my posts up to date... rather impossible. If it is a significant change, i liek to make a new one referring back to the original.

  @flaxking said in Is RD Gateway useful?: Let me bring my question back at a different angle. If you were paying for a hosted, fully managed terminal server, what would be your expectations for how it would be secured? Personally, I would sleep fine at night with RDP exposed, but with 2-step authentication, and good log monitoring (and enforcing the security built into RDP and Windows authentication). However, maybe that is not enough for a professional solution. You can add RDPGuard to the RDS server too. Although, like @travisdh1 stated, put HTTPS in front and your all good. I use an SSL-VPN myself.

  @carnival-boy said in Yet another SharePoint thread: It's included in our O365 subscription so there is no cost or licensing issues. I'm not sure what you mean by overhead of management. What kind of performance and end user problems have you experienced? Cost and Licensing: Yes, you have paid for Sharepoint in a bundle, but you are still paying for it. In the E4 breakout, it's $4/mo of the $20/mo total. And you need to pay for that for everyone who uses it. Most organizations have lots of exceptions that would only need that one thing, but have to pay for more or whatever just for that one thing. Cost of Management: Sharepoint takes a bit of time and effort to maintain. Plus backups, if you want any protection from mistakes on the client end, isn't included so is both effort and money. Sharepoint requires training and work to keep working Performance: The system, especially through O365, is very slow and cumbersome to use. It's just not fast so people get frustrated with it. End User: We found our less technical end users unable to cope with basic data management concepts and would throw data all over Sharepoint because they couldn't understand basic things like tagging, filtering and metadata

  @scottalanmiller said in Nextcloud Troubleshooting: @mattbagan said in Nextcloud Troubleshooting: @scottalanmiller I saw that too. I am wondering if I could just delete the folder in question and see if that helps. Maybe, do a move, not a delete, in case you need to put it back. Good idea! I moved the folder and it may have taken longer then normal, but it finally loaded again.

  @doyler3000 said in Hyper-V replication, Starwind, or something else?: ? The hypervisor will still be Hyper-V so the VM's theselves won't require any conversion? Yes, you are correct. There will be no need for VMs conversion, StarWind devices should just be replicated to VSA. This can be done with the help of StarWind support guys. By the way, I this conversion is required only for the HyperConverged scenario on VMware, where StarWind VSAN service is located inside VM. With HyperConverged scenario on Hyper-V, StarWind VSAN will be installed inside Windows OS which is running Hyper-V role, thus you don't need VSA at all.

  @nerdydad - Yes, you do get a skimped down version of Azure AD with the O365 license. The prerequisites mention using Azure AD, but don't say which one, except where they say that the Premium version is optional for auto enrollment with intune. Although, they have several plans/tiers, including 2 premium tiers.

  @openit said in Is someone using OneDrive for Business 1TB space to backup data/system?: @nerdydad said in Is someone using OneDrive for Business 1TB space to backup data/system?: You can use Veeam Endpoint, but it does require a license to backup to ODfB. That is more of a premium feature. Otherwise, you're tied to some type of local storage, whether on your network or to your PC. I was just giving an example of free software like Veeam, if it requires license, I will look for other free or cheaper option. Looks like Veeam free version supports backup to onedrive https://www.veeam.com/windows-endpoint-server-backup-free.html https://imgur.com/a/byjId27

  @wrx7m said in SMBv2/v3 Issues on Windows Server 2016: @phlipelder I thought that those files were necessary. I guess I will try to block them as long as it doesn't cause issues on the Mac side. I don't know if they are critical or not. From what I see online files like .DS_Store is just to show metadata to the mac client. This is likely the tag color etc for the Mac Finder, which for me (personally) doesn't matter. But I'm sure it would affect business pretty heavily.
