@scottalanmiller My wife and Slava talked me into going. Wife said I would miss my friends and Slava said I needed to come to meet the new SW.

@gjacobse said in Proxmox and USB support:

Not looked at ProxMox enough to remember or know this answer. And before I dive to deep into this personal project.

Can each VM attach to a specific USB device for use?

Specifics, a raspberry 3D printer replacement

I've only verified this with a USB thumb drive, but it's quite easy if you haven't found it yet.

In VM -> Hardware -> Add -> USB Device

@scottalanmiller Figured it out!
dpkg --purge pve-kernel-helper
Fixed it!

Proxmox is great so far. 2 servers, setup and available for replication/migration via separate 10G NICs that are direct connected. Then a PBS server where everything is backed up to. So far, so good.

@dbeato Nice. Thankfully I haven't had to deal with a Windows bug check in a while 🙂

As an update the solution for Windows 11 now also works for Windows 10 if you are on Windows 10 22H2 and fully updated.

@AdamF I stand corrected and good to know. 🙂

@scottalanmiller said in Resources for Learning HTML & CSS Web Design:

Does anyone have good resources for web design? Good books or YouTube or websites? I'm talking actual skilled design, not "I bought a template for WordPress and changed teh colors using a GUI". I want to get people up to speed on hand coding HTML and CSS, understanding things like Bootstrap and so forth.

I'm not aware of any specific videos for HTML and CSS, but what I have been using here and there is SoloLearn. The Android app for it is great. The best part about it is that for each part of the course, there's public comments. You can learn so much more useful things browsing through those after reading each step of the course. It's been a great help.

My most recent course in Sololearn is the C#. I don't only use Sololearn, but it's a great addition to other resources. I used a great 45-hour Udemy course as my main source. That said, I do remember seeing HTML and CSS in Sololearn.

As for websites, when I need to reference HTML and CSS, my go-to sites are:

HTML:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/HTML https://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp

CSS:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/CSS https://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp

Most of my HTML/CSS usage these days is the ad-hoc need to reference something, so there's likely better tutorials than I listed. But it might be good to check out SASS and SCSS as well, as I have been needing to reference those more and more.

Alternative to manually install 3rd party repositories

There is an alternative to manually manage repositories and keys and that is to use extrepo

extrepo is a curated list of 3rd party repositories and keys and it's a debian package.
It's only been around a couple of years so I don't know how widely used it is yet.

Installation

To install it run

apt install extrepo Add repository

To add postgreSQL repository for example:

extrepo enable postgresql Disable repository

To disable a repository, for example:

extrepo disable postgresql Where do files go?

extrepo puts apt config files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d as you would manually but manages keys in it's own directory /var/lib/extrepo/keys

Repositories available

Currently these repositories are in there:

@syko24 said in Zerotier installs but no conectivity on Fedora 38:

@JaredBusch - I know their site says Windows, but maybe something related with the firewall rules getting messed up.

https://discuss.zerotier.com/t/attention-zerotier-on-windows-users-please-update-your-client-s-to-1-10-6-or-later/12706

I temporarily shutdown firewalld on both systems as well as disabled selinux.

While I doubt it's the issue - ZT has it's own firewall rules, any possible issue there?

@popester said in Ubiquity U-LTE:

My brand new U-LTE cellular failover device from Ubiquity appears to have lost its APN setting. I guess default is not the Dallas Fort Worth metro plex in texas. It is the one that AT&T has its hooks into, or at least from what i understand. Has this happened to someone else? I can get into the config but do not want to touch any settings for fear of doing more harm than good. I reached out to Ubiquity Support and they shot back that I needed to get the correct settings for the device from AT&T. Not real sure how to do that. Have found lots of information. Since i am paying ubiquity a monthly charge for the service I am not sure who to reach out to. Anyway. Any help would be appreciated.

Have you had any contact with AT&T, or was it all Ubiquity?

I deal with cellular data things as the majority of my work now, so I may be able to help.

oh n/m you were upgrading.. yeah. you just need to sed all of the repo.list you are using. Each system could be different depending on how you added the no sub repo.

Some instructions have that being added as a separate repo.list file.

@stacksofplates said in Installing Mastodon 4.1.2 on Debian 11:

Their official image is here ghcr.io/mastodon/mastodon

Yeah, that one was flaky. But is it official? Why's it on a different account?

Yes it's their official. Ghcr is the GitHub packages repo. It's similar to GCR, ECR, etc. Other OCI image repositories are more popular now since Docker has imposed limits on Docker Hub.

Leaving this new system standalone, not joining the old cluster or creating a single system cluster.

The new (added in 7.3) qm remote-migrate works well. The docs suck, but the function is great.

@Eric-Ross said in CentOS 7 VM won't boot after migration to Proxmox:

@JaredBusch Ah, too bad that wasn't the fix.

I didn't bother at the dracut point. I likely could have recovered the system. I simply decided to stop putting off the migration of those workloads.

They were still running CentOS 7 after all.

@scottalanmiller said in Configure Mastodon to Use Zoho ZeptoMail for SMTP Email:

@PhlipElder said in Configure Mastodon to Use Zoho ZeptoMail for SMTP Email:

All of our mail servers are properly set up with a SmartHost, SPF, and DMARC. We don't have any reputation issues. That's a 2000s kind of problem.

No, it's current. Microsoft blacklists entire datacenters still. There's a lawsuit in Illinois about it that they lost. It's a very real thing still that RBL are used by the majors (like Microsoft, but not Google) and used to shut down entire ISPs and IP blocks. I've been brought in to help providers with these issues, it's a huge legal problem and if you don't get hit with it, it seems like it doesn't exist, and if you do get hit, it seems like there's no recourse (hint: there isn't.)

We're dealing with a client who has their site hosted in a Yandex.RU data centre and guess what? Yeah, some putz between their web server and ProofPoint has a sinkhole because Ukraine. The web server can e-mail @Outlook.Com because they have servers around the world but not ProofPoint.

We've had lots of issues over the years where one midbone/backbone provider either shapes or blocks packets from another because they're in a contract dispute. Poof. Packets gone.

oops - remotedesktop.google.com/access is the correct url - mistyped

@DustinB3403 said in Windows Server Licensing:

HPE has some tool which indicates the inverse here

This tool is correct, as far as I've last known.

@IgnaceQ said in If starting from scratch, would you suggest learning BASH or Ansible?:

Besides anisble there are other tools for remote tooling. In a linux world you need bash. this is a basic need.
On top of bash, it really depends on the environmnet you're in. I would suggest python on top of this. You can use python in ansible, chef, terraform, etc... Also on non linux environments, python is availlable (bsd, windows).

He needs Ansible because he's doing an Ansible based certification path.
