@dafyre I didn't ever get back to needing this until now. How were you able to achieve this? I use Fedora 28 and the Cinnamon desktop.

Sadly, no, I haven't. From what I can tell, Fedora 28 (probably 29 too) use Wayland by default. I haven't found a way to get it working yet. I tried switching the Login Screen to use X first, but even that didn't help.

Have you tried disabling Wayland instead?

I hadn't thought about that. I'll have to do a fresh install and see how that's done, unless there's a working VNC Server package in Fedora 29...

Just edit /etc/gdm/custom.conf and uncomment WaylandEnable=false and then restart. You will have only two options GNOME and GNOME Classic.

That gets me one step closer. I can get XRDP to connect to the local VNC server, but the user has to log in (locally) first... :face_with_cold_sweat:

@JaredBusch said in Cloudflare - Forwarding CNAME to HTTPS URL?:

@Dashrender said in Cloudflare - Forwarding CNAME to HTTPS URL?:

I don't really understand this - wouldn't you need a redirect command to make this work correctly? As stated - the browser thinks it's going to careers.domain.com, but that's being redirected via cname to joes.website.com, and joe's has a TLS cert.

Wouldn't the correct way be to have a server accept the request for careers.domain.com and execute a redirect to a new URL (joes.website.com) and now the browser will know it's going to joes site and accept the cert?

What server? He has no server. He simply wanted an alias for a nasty long URL.
careers.domain.com instead of adp.com/346y365hy3/365h56/456/y6/

Any good proxy will do this. CloudFlare is one of the best.

So process.

Create a CNAME entry for careers.domain.com pointing somewhere. Make sure the orange cloud is on. This makes the actual destination not matter because the IP will return as CloudFlare. But you want it to be something intelligent in case of problems as the OP found out. Create a redirect rule in CloudFlare. This is no different than the redirect 301 that you would use on your NginX proxy or other system. Profit

Well - there's your website I mentioned - the proxy. It's doing the redirect. OK - fine, it's not really a website (at least not likely), but you get the point - and I'm learning .. so thanks.
But my general thinking was along the same lines as your setup.

The OS doens't matter to Veeam beyond being Windows.

That's a good piece of knowledge.

Removed VLC and reboot borked the entire process.

That sucks. Were you using the default repo?

Nope, RPM Fusion because that's what their instructions said to do.

Worked fine in 28. @JaredBusch said he got it to work. Do you recall how you did it Jared?

I uninstalled VLC first and by the end of the day VLC was in the packages again.

You might look at the tools that Apple is pushing (and thus supporting). I don't know if Munki will fit your requirements, but it may.

Here is a list of several projects for managing macOS: https://simplemdm.com/2018/07/19/popular-open-source-tools-for-mac-admins/. NoMAD is pretty cool if you're in a Windows-centric environment.

@360col Parking is a completely different feature.

LOLOLOLOL

Totally downvoted for the horrible pun.

@Emad-R I agree with Emad here, Robocopy is hard to beat for simplicity and reliability.

@Donahue said in I have to change cloud drive service yet again:

is there a system that can display tags in a way that would look like folders to the user? Like a way to change your view to see the files organized by tag 2 instead of tag 1? I use this perspective change all the time in SQL, and I would love something equivalent in a file system using tags.

There is a way to write a system to do that, but no one makes one today.

well get on that @scottalanmiller, the world is apparently waiting

I guess so! Time to reinvent the local filesystem abstraction!

It really is needed.

Agreed... though - is there any money in it?

It would be an open source project, sadly. Sadly meaning, no, not any money in it.

what about fame and recognition? 🙂

I already have that 😉

what's +1 more?

Finally. Very nice.

Tags added.

Something like this won't work because you don't want to have anyone managing it?
https://support.sherweb.com/Faqs/Show/how-to-book-a-resource-equipment-or-room

Then I would need someone to manage it? That would be OK if it has to be done as I can have the buildings and grounds manager handle the requests.

Here's another guide that was created. Looks pretty simple to set up.

Does anyone here use the vendor supplied drivers when Windows detects and installs everything in the device manager?

If so, under what cases do you do so? i.e. all possible vendor supplied drivers? only Chipset? only Video? etc...

Not generally. I do on HP systems for a few things like sound.

interesting - so for normal office users you install the HP sound driver? why? that is one I've never even considered (unless Windows itself didn't provide a working sound driver).

Laptops at one client all had sound issues until I switched to the HP supplied driver from the SoftPaq update process.

OK - that makes sense then. only doing it to solve a problem, not because HP's drivers are better or something.

I started doing this for all HP systems after that.

Using the SoftPaq updated to setup non HP crapware, just vendor drivers as supplied by HP.

I'm confirming - you install the softpaq installer software? than choose the non crapware to be installed?

Yes

@black3dynamite That I haven't tried. It's worth a check!

Very nice!

@dafyre said in Fiber SFP Modules:

@Pete-S said in Fiber SFP Modules:

CWDM are using several different light wavelengths at the same time to get higher throughput. Basically like having several different fiber transmissions going on in the same fiber at the same time.

It's not really needed anymore for 1 or 10 Gigabit.

There are two types of fiber - multi-mode fiber (MMF) and single-mode fiber (SMF). Single mode fiber is the better one and the one you should install today.

With single mode fiber you can transfer 10 Gigabit just using two 10GBASE-LR SFP+ modules for a distance of up to 10 kilometers, 6 miles. The same fiber can also be used for gigabit as well as faster rates like 100 Gigabit.

I had no idea you could get 10 Gig that far on Single Mode.

Do you know what the distances are for Multimode?

I think it depends on the fiber and transceivers used and the speed but from 100ft to 1000ft.

Multimode used to be what everybody was installing but haven't seen it used in anything new the last 5 years or so. I'm not familiar with prices but they tell me that the price of the complete installation with either fiber type will be virtually the same.

I use muiltimode for in-building connections. cheap and easy and available up to 10Gbps.

For inter-building connections on a larger campus, I would recommend single mode.

@NerdyDad Nope, by then I'm just starting my own 6 month upgrade cycle. Because in 3-4 months a new Fedora will come out, I'll wait 2-3 months again, and then upgrade. Like a clock 🙂

How often to you upgrade versus fresh install? Fresh install every other release? Any kind of best practice on this?

You can avoid compatibility with packages by using more flatpak apps instead.

Flatpak is not ready for prime time.

Why not?

And that's funny that you said prime time.

There's a post from Flatpak with prime time in the title.

Flatpak 1.0 Released, Ready for Prime Time
https://www.flatpak.org/press/2018-08-20-flatpak-1.0/

And @scottalanmiller coukd say sodiumsuite is awesome and ready for the masses. Still doesn’t make it true.

@bnrstnr that's your most likely culprit, having it be SIP aware.
