If Red Hat had more resources they could have released a major version each year and then supported it for ten years. Then you'd never have anything older than one year on a new inst

Yes, you would. If you use RHEL 7 and even if RHEL 8 came out th enext day, and RHEL 9 a week later... if you stay on RHEL 7 your code would not change.

I said "New install" Scott. You are saying the exact same thing as I did.

Oh I see what you are saying. No one does that, though, they have STS for that. Fedora, Ubuntu Current, Normal Windows 2019. They all do STS. LTS makes no sense in the real world if you are willing to use what is new at install time.

It's easy to remove IE if you never install Windows

While I'm sure T-Mobile is working on it.. when I tested T 2 years ago in Nebraska... only the major arteries of the city had access, and horrible access at that. I technically live outside the city limits by less than 1/4 mile, but other than AT&T, all other carriers service sucks at best and generally don't work.

While true, at least with TMobile you have excellent WiFi calling at home.

Or in offices that are often shielded.

Finally released!!

@DustinB3403 said in Joining 2 Windows 10 Machines:

How would he even license this?

As long as one of the Windows 10 copies is retail rather than OEM or he gets two OEMs for the same hardware...

Right there is basically no issue here. WTF with this thread.

Still going without fail since June.

Also looking to acquire some beefier ARM platforms that I can run experimental ESXi builds on. - https://shop.solid-run.com/product/SRM8040S00D16GE008S00CH/ has caught my eye

Now this looks really sweet. That's some cool stuff... both the hardware and ESXi on ARM. $459 is a little high for that CPU and only 16GB, but not horrible.

@wrx7m said in Office 365 ProPlus in non-dedicated hardware hosted environment:

Per my VAR, shared activation is available on any ProPlus subscription (ProPlus, E3 or E5). All users that are going to use the shared system have to be licensed with a ProPlus subscription for it to work. I am going to have to go this route to use RDS for our ERP software, which requires Microsoft Excel for exporting certain reports/info. Since we have business premium for 99% of our users, we will need to "upgrade" to E3 for all users that need access to the ERP software via RDS server. Currently 32 users.

I think that this is driving a lot of "multi-RDS" deployments where some people are on the MS Office RDS server and some are on the non-Office server.

@scottalanmiller I just had a phone conversation with Craig at Backup Assist (they are members of this forum I believe). They are in the process of rolling out a product that may fit our needs. He's going to do some research and schedule a call. I will keep you in the loop.

Just curious, what is unique about your needs that their Multisite Manager didn't address?

I'm not sure. When Craig called me and asked about what I was looking for, he mentioned that they are coming out with a new product in the very near future that may work the best. I haven't explored any further than that at this point.

Based on our conversation here, this may be all you need.
https://www.backupassist.com/multisitemanager.html

BackupAssist however is just a wrapped Management of Windows Server Backup, I used to recommend it but ever since using Veeam I have not moved back. The free version is phenomenal of the Veeam Backup Agent and if you have Exchange or SQL you can still pay for it or use the free up to 10 Community edition.

It's so much more than a wrapper.

Should be its own thread, but do you know of anything similar for Linux?

@Pete-S said in Firewalling IPsec tunnel traffic?:

So in summary, you can accomplish the same thing, set up a VPN tunnel and limit traffic over it, with both IPsec and OpenVPN but in slightly different ways.

Correct. But "slightly different" is so slight, that it is just the tools used. Like can you use a cardboard box or tupperware to transport your marbles from point A to point B? Yes. Both "work the same" as in that they are boxes that you place things in. What is different is just one has a plastic top that you "peel" open, the other has interleaving flaps. The differences are in how you "set them up", but not in what they do.

So in that way they vary like Windows and Linux vary. Both work in the same places, do the same things, but they just have different configuration commands and interfaces.

What else does the logs show?

Yeah... "to photoshop" is a little too vague as to what you want to do. If you're looking for high fidelity image editing and mastering, you'd want something like tiff or raw as @Pete-S stated. If you're just looking to make memes or other time-killing image editing that doesn't require high quality or fine control then you'll be fine with png or jpg.

@shortstack said in Saltstack and Brew Casks:

@DustinB3403 i am also wondering what the workaround for this issue is, re: salt minion executing brew installs. did you ever figure out a clean way to get brew working, maybe runas a different user?

I haven't had the chance to get back into this, other more pressing issues so I just went on with my day.

Sorry

@Pete-S said in UREs Strike InnoDB on MySQL:

Step one is to remove the drives and clone them with dd or recovery tool to a new drive.
You could probably recover 99.9% of the data - if you want.

As you can guess from all of their previous issues, they don't want to pay for any recovery, they just want it magically fixed for free. They don't own any storage onto which to clone it, either.

Then what is the point of any of it? It appears to have zero value to the business.

I said that to them.

Mystery solved.

@StorageNinja said in TPM module - what is it used for?:

Real encryption keeps the keys in a remote KIMP server (what you'll see for any DISA/STIG system etc).

I've seen shops that require a human to apply the key every time.

@JasGot said in Wi-Fi calling?:

@Pete-S said in Wi-Fi calling?:

I did some more research and it turns out that WiFi calling is using some familiar protocols but it's not the same as VoIP using SIP/RTP.

Actually another name for Wi-Fi Calling is the more official VoWiFi.
It's using a protocol called GAN (Generic Access Network) that is based on IMS, IPsec and ePDG. And IMS is using SIP for signaling.

Basically it's a way of sending the same packets that would go over the cell network over internet instead. It uses the SIM card for security and authentication. It's data is encapsulated in an IPsec tunnel - which is why it only works if IPsec ports and packets are allowed in the firewall.

Related technology that works in a very similar way is VoLTE, which is Voice over the 4G/LTE network.

Did you happen to learn if it uses the SS7 network? It would be very intersting if VoWiFi avoided the SS7.

Why do you care? That is a back-haul PSTN network between carriers that you have no access or say about.

But the correct answer is, "not while the call is a 'Vo' (Voice over) anything." At that point it is traveling over data networks. Which, by definition, cannot be switched telephone signalling.
