    It's like Atom but with some benefits (and drawbacks.) If you like Atom and use it mostly for coding, VS Code might be the right choice for you.

    It's pretty nice. The built in Git stuff is nicer than Atom. To me it feels faster than Atom also.

    matter of taste: I've used both for coding (mostly python) and I prefer Atom. As far as git is concerned I feel constrained with both and I go straight to cmd line.

    I generally use the command line too for GIT. Just so quick and easy, and works every time.

    I find the integrations in the apps quicker for normal commits. Don't have to switch between the app and a terminal (or even switch to a terminal in the app). The shortcuts are quick, and auto-complete as you type. I've never not had it work.

    Quake style terminals are perfect for this. Hit a hot key, terminal is in your face, commit, hotkey and it is gone again.

    I use the drop down terminal extension for GNOME3 a lot. I'm just lazy and like typing as little as possible 😛

    With a tiny BASH wrapper, you could have essentially no typing at all. Something like "gitcom these are my changes" and it submits for you. Or just alias it to "g".

    True. I usually don't alias much. But I think we are at the point where you are writing things to get the cli at the same speed as what's in the applications.

    I've not found any application that comes close in speed to the "up arrow, hit enter" speed of the CLI, though.

    You still have to enter your message. So to me it's the same as hotkey and then message.

    Here is a discussion on this from two years ago. The Finder Bug hasn't been talked about that much on ML since it was so well known and established for Mac storage needs prior to ML coming into existance. But you can find a lot about it on SW, since it happened and got documented during that era.

    Eventually, they have said that you will be able to connect UniFi gear as endpoints. But there is no date on that last I read.

    Edit: Looks like Q1 2018

    Yeah, both are good. Amazing how good a lot of options are today. For cheap.

    Ya, so there must have been a change at some point. Setting the zone to drop and then adding services allows those services through. Firewalld site shows what your book says is correct and what (I'm 99% sure) I saw when I initially started with the SCAP stuff last year:

    @eddiejennings said in Dialing Plan Logic Sanity Check:

    @jaredbusch

    Also NXXXXXXXXX is an invalid dial pattern for NANPA. The valid pattern is NXXNXXXXXX.

    You're right. I've fixed my patterns. While the invalid pattern works, it would be best to follow the standard.

    It is too loose, so it would never have stopped a real call from processing.

    NXX - NPA (Area Code)
    NXX - Exchange (ILEC Central Office)
    XXXX - Line (Station within the Exchange)

    N = 2-9
    X = 0-9

    So this menas that NPA and Exchange 3 digit numbers can never begin with a 0 or 1.

    Here are a few settings many people might like. These will present popups on the phone for each thing mentioned.

    features.forward_call_popup.enable = 0
    features.missed_call_popup.enable = 0
    features.text_message_popup.enable = 0
    features.voice_mail_popup.enable = 0

    That is certainly a case by case group of settings. I have those disabled about half of the time..

    Agreed.

    Now that I am running Fedora derivitves on all my computers, I have a need for a terminal program.

    My MacBook Pro had screen available by default.

    What do all of you use when connecting with a USB to serial converter for console connections?

    here are some options. I think most here have missed the "serial" bit in your statement...

    This morning after installing a few other ones to test, the default terminal started displaying things correctly when using screen.

    did you pull the bitlocker key out of AD somewhere? or was it bitlockered outside of AD and you had it printed out?

    I keep all of my bitlocker keys on a separate NAS. I don't know enough about storing the keys inside AD to feel comfortable with doing that yet.

    Before you can get in to what OS to run the clients on, do you have to ask what apps the business needs to run? If they need some kind of CAD package and it's only offered on Windows, the linux client goes out the window. (pun intended)

    I'm positive it cost a lot and it's far from quiet, but you won't build anything that comes close in terms of quality and reliability.

    @scottalanmiller said in Business thinking - PC replacements:

    I did this for a shop last week. Everything done in one day, the whole thing. Even replaced the firewall, apps, basically everything. If you have a company that has weekends off, you can do this in a weekend.

    How many users and how many apps? Did you migrate user profiles? Was it part of the job to make sure the My Little Pony screen saver was migrated?

    Fourteen users, not a lot of apps. Mostly MS Office, some basic stuff that you'd expect like new browsers, a few odds and ends utilities as requested by people and their medical system (which was not large.) Please installing printers, scanners, shared drives and such. All pretty basic, but you generally expect pretty basic in an office of that size.

    @aaronstuder said in Korora Custom Partitioning - KVM:

    I am installing Korora on a small 120GB SSD drive.

    It's a SFF PC, so adding another drive for data isn't an isn't an option... unless I use an external drive...

    This system will be a KVM Host, so whats the best way to setup the partitioning?

    50GBfor root seems like a lot... and doesn't leave much space for VM's etc.

    Also, Where should I store the VM's? I know some people create /data, and store them there?

    Disk /dev/sda: 111.8 GiB, 120034123776 bytes, 234441648 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disklabel type: dos Disk identifier: 0xfc93f734 Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type /dev/sda1 * 2048 2099199 2097152 1G 83 Linux /dev/sda2 2099200 234440703 232341504 110.8G 8e Linux LVM Disk /dev/mapper/korora-root: 50 GiB, 53687091200 bytes, 104857600 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk /dev/mapper/korora-swap: 7.8 GiB, 8325693440 bytes, 16261120 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk /dev/mapper/korora-home: 53 GiB, 56941871104 bytes, 111214592 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

    For a drive that small, shrink the root partition to 20 GiB or less, give the swap partition 4 GiB and the rest to home partition. Or just have root and swap partition only.

    I paid $1.50 for the first year. It also depends on the domain. A lot of .coms are significantly higher.

    They are all the same price. Those that are higher are not available and you are buying ones that someone already owns.
