I visited someone's home tonight that had two Unifi APs, one at either side of the house. Though one half the house had horrible connections. Turns out the second AP had no power. Reset connections, tada! AP back online and wifi is awesome!

Is best and more efficient to buy a new powersupply rather than spending time on an older workstation. The fan needs to be desoldered and then solder the new one back in. That's a lot of time of labor that can readily be done with a $34 part.

This is why I don't enter contests with Meraki as the prize. Its like giving somebody a satellite dish as a present.

"Merry Christmas and enjoy the next 2 years under contract at $150/month out of your pocket."

Given that you can do end to end SSL with CF, how does CF enable the NSA?

Exactly, so again I ask the OP,

OH?

Never Mind.

Found the issue, and added the A Record accordingly - points like it should.

There was no record at all?

I had added the record. But didn't work. searched for record, not there.
Was in wrong zone.

That is 100% no record at all.

Well that sucks, have to purchase it on Mac. . ..

Only $1.99 but still.

Could still be weird. But could be benign, too.

Or it could be the NSA.

All your websites are belong to NSA.

@jmoore said in Trying to Install log.io on Fedora 26:

I finally got Log.io running and I like it. It will be really useful on the server for my website.

Nice, welcome to the club 🙂

Mainly at home, however, i do keep a virtual machine running at work with it installed. Some things I just prefer to do using Fedora. I find it much more flexible and I just like the software better in a lot of cases.

@jmoore said in log.io on Fedora 26 Cannot Fine logging:

Oh ok, that sure is weird.

Just a bit.

My vote on this topic is Fedora. Just so few problems that i don't cause myself. Its made for Gnome.

@scottalanmiller said in List folder/file path length as a number:

It's the low hanging fruit approach.

The repetitive of this is what I was considering, and piping it out to something.

Use that to make a script and an email alert!

@scottalanmiller said in CoreOS vs CentOS for Containers Deployments:

I'd certainly not use CentOS. I'd use Fedora.

Why @scottalanmiller ?

Especially for a component where constant development is taking place. Fedora is dramatically more modern and up to date on containers than CentOS.

@BRRABill said in Linux: Using Top:

@scottalanmiller

But "respecting it" means nothing.

In WIndows, pressing a key for a function only does that function, or nothing.

I am taking about, for example, in top where

m

and

M

do two totally different things.

Right, an in WIndows it always does two different things. If you keep using it in places where both do nothing, you can make ANYTHING into "not sensitive". But that logic, nearly every letter on the keyboard does the same thing - nothing. So you just told me that WIndows isn't "key sensitive". See why that makes no sense?

@jfath said in Hypervisor choice:

After considering the options everyone has presented, I'm going to install and test KVM on a spare server, then move forward with either that or XS/XO. I think the value of an open source solution is the deciding factor for me in this particular case.

Their userbases are certainly "big enough" which is the important part.

We use it in our labs. All of our user devices are on the main path..

Ah. Then those labs ARE production.

Correct.

@fateknollogee said in Should backup and virtualization infrastructure be decoupled?:

I like the idea!
What are you proposing, can you give a little more detail?

Use bacula/borgbackup/veeam endpoint or just plain remote rsnpshot, plus database-specific tools… and, of course, take a full backup if the VM once in a while for quick disaster recovery, but without all of the fancy incremental-dedupe stuff.

@jaredbusch Weird.

@aaronstuder

OpenSSH installation is the one thing I always have to do when installation finishes with Ubuntu Servers, so it is always an extra step for me. And I dont like how they are messing with openssh config frequently lately.

the extension to XML file, but I am not sure where to start.

Why is your admin station still Windows 7? You can upgrade for free.
Once you upgrade, you'll have the latest version of PowerShell and you won't have these types of issues of compatibility.

We planned for Q2 next year. We just moved into new office space, so we don't want to introduce too much changes.

I'd only update your PC right now. This will let you move forward without affecting your users.
