If you're using Windows 10 on the end points, this article would be good for you.

Those other two look like Display Port, but that could be the angle, so I suppose they could be HDMI.

I agree - but they are display ports,.. the left side of the connecter / and bracket are cut at a 45deg,.. but the right side is not. But hey - don't listen to me,.. I was confused as to what the DVI port was.

That moment when you have spent 3 hours waiting (5 min here and there) and then realize you are in the WRONG DNS Management Page....

smh

Get the larger one. Think about wear leveling in hardware (which often does not work or simply does not exist except in high-end products) or in software using specialized filesystems like YAFFS and others.

Try to keep your partitions small if you plan to create images.

@JaredBusch Awesome, just found it.

Hey

Ya one of the largest points of re-doing everything is to get it to a point where we can schedule it (we currently run it 2 times a week and then enter some information)

So we are also trying to get all the cells that we would manually add information to populate.

There are alot of one off reports (using this report) that people want, for example we currently run it on Monday and Thursday, but people also want then different time frames etc so while scheduling it eliminates the time problem it only really half eliminates it.

I was actually able to make a few changes and got the report down to 27 minutes, so I'm back on track for optimizing the report!

Thanks

Sweet! What changes did you make?

Looking at this as a replacement.

@stacksofplates I don't think anything you wrote about KVM is true, and it never was true also. I don't think I'm biased towards KVM in any way, I use more vSphere and XS hosts than KVM ones as of today, but… KVM and the standard toolstack has everything. At least, anything apart from some very new and particular GPU or latency-related stuff that only ESXi and customized (AWS!) Xen have. But of course, the basic and advanced stuff are absolutely covered. Every single thing.

He's talking about Boxes, not KVM.

Oh, ok, now it makes sense! Never heard about Boxes… libvirt is really anything you need for KVM. Maybe virt-manager, if you are used to XenCenter-like administration…

Boxes is a VERY nascent KVM front end. I'm playing with it right now, it's neat that it uses KVM with local console redirect. But it needs some polishing, the interface is awkward and missing a lot of basic features.

Ya it's weird. Virt-Manager gives you 1000% more and you can get console output from virsh, so I never saw the draw to it.

They never mentioned the infection route, did they?

Thanks for sharing this, Scott. Threats are always evolving!

Yep, use a VM. 🙂

@Mike-Davis good thing they didn't go with anything before!

Deduplication by script can work pretty well. What is difficult is figuring out if things point to the files in different locations, so that they don't lose track of where the remaining actual file is. Symlinks can fix this, it's just annoying.

FYI, if I add a contact, it does work as described above by JB.

Got in, ./nodebb setup had failed and just needed to be run again.

What caused the failure?

Not sure, maybe a database connection.

@BRRABill said in Repos Make All of the Difference:

Can you explain all of the different repos?

Basically ever major OS except for Windows and Mac OSX, comes with a set of default repositories for software that represent what is considered to be supported as part of the base OS. CentOS, for example, as the core repos that include the repos for the Base OS, one for pulling source files and a few others that are normally off by default. This allows you to easily install the smallest possible or reasonable OS and add additional software as needed only. No need to bundle it all in and bloat the system, yet still trivially easy to add on what you need.

Anyone can operate their own repo. So you can make your own if you want. The ML servers use a repo from the MongoDB folks so that we pull the latest and greatest, supported and official MongoDB database servers directly from MongoDB instead of waiting for Red Hat to put older, Red Hat supported versions into the RH repos. So our MongoDB is managed transparently with the rest of the system, but we configure it to be much more modern than the MongoDB instance available with the OS itself.

Server 2012 (maybe R2?) added the ability to have a backup/failover DHCP server in the Windows world.

But this is a waste of time.

Make a backup of your DHCP server config manually if you are worried about the VM hosting the service going south but not being restored.

I have my XS hosts sync with our watchguard, as it has an ntp server. The watchguard syncs with pool.ntp.org servers. The DC here sync with pool.ntp.org servers, and clients and servers sync with the DC
