@scottalanmiller not really, just some I don't remember

I have started to forget about MS Project completely. It's been so long since I knew of anyone actively considered using it. So many alternatives that are not so costly and don't have old fashioned web clients have made it fall into the background of technology history. Once people mention it, I remember it. But ask me about project management software and I never think of it anymore.

Which ones are on your table now?

When I was a project engineer we used Primavera a lot for CPM scheduling. We also had a lot of in house stuff developed for Lotus Notes (blah).

@matteo-nunziati said in Calling Debian Stretch & Mellanox Experts:

@FATeknollogee rolling means they constantly upgrade sw when ready. The opposite is sw which sticks at a given version and is subject to security fixes only.

Exactly. In Windows terms, it would be like MS Office updating from 2013 to 2016 automatically on any given day. Tumbleweed tends to update a couple times a week, but the updates are tiny. Just whatever applications have a new release and have been tested get released as they are ready, not in blocks together.

The big difference is that it is updates to packages and releases of new packages as they are available, not just patches that are provided. All OSes release patches on a regular basis as needed, or weekly. But rolling releases actually update the software versions all the time.

@FATeknollogee said in SuperDoctor5 on ProxMox VE v5.x: failed install:

Anyway, someone chimed in on the Proxmox forums & suggested using Check_MK instead.
Any one used this before?

Not familiar with it.

@Tim_G said in Mangolassi Website semi-frequent "Internal Error":

I think I've figured out the main issue...

When clicking on a notification, the notification links to, for example: https://mangolassi.it/post/296273

After that, the browser is supposed to automatically redirect to: https://mangolassi.it/topic/13654/for-the-love-of-ipod/11, which it does in all other browsers and Edge pre-1703 update.

In MS Edge now (post 1703), after you left click a notification, it takes you to the first link, and gives you my original error. When I middle click to open it in a new tab, it works as normal, and redirects to the second link.

Dunno about Edge 1703, but IE 1703 is a pile of poo. Even though it is still IE 11, a ton of B2B sites that had specific settings no longer work.

Of course the real issue is crappy web design but still.

It's working thus far -

I went to SKYPE and installed the RPM and installed signed in with no trouble.

I'm still on the LIVE USB version, but happy that it's there. A bit easier when I have a full keyboard/mouse to work with.

Looking at dual boot configurations / process now.

The web app is often better, if you have issues, just switch to the web version.

I should have mentioned it before,.. but I did try to use the Web,.. it was trying to do some type of account merge of my MS and Gmail account - some weirdness. And never 'worked'. Of course since I'm here at it,.. I can give it another go and see what it comes up with.

Oh yes, MS is doing some weird new account stuff that is a bit of a problem.

This time It didn't - so much have finished even though I cancelled it, quit and powered off....

Ah nice. This will be a nice change.

I agree with the assessments. Basically you rebooted in a long, round-about way. But it was time consuming and ultimately didn't teach you anything. What you learned is that rebooting next time will solve the problem faster and more reliably 🙂 It's not all bad, you have slightly more info than you would have had otherwise, but there are almost certainly more useful places for your time.

@Lakshmana said in Data lost in my Phone(Android):

@scottalanmiller I thought it was knowledge transfer group but now only knows about their malicious thinking

Sadly, yes. A tip here is that a knowledge transfer group would never provide software in this way. Just the act of doing so should warn you of what kind of group it is.

@scottalanmiller ok I will check with network team

And I get the worst recommendation of it all 😛

No it doesn't appear to support TLS. We're going ahead with a connector and be done with it.

@BBigford said in AD - multi user password reset:

@MattSpeller So I did a little testing with some users. Lol I honestly have never tried to deselect an attribute in bulk before. So the left box checked has to be checked to select the right box.

If you check only the left box, you are removing a checked box on the user's profile (like cannot change password). If you check both boxes you are checking off an attribute (like user must change password at next login).

Just thought I'd pop in and clarify...

Ye the point of the left tick box is just to show you want to edit a property

Got some servers to reboot this weekend so will have to put my xen server on the list to check and reboot

@Mike-Davis said in Authenticate Laptops to Wifi against ActiveDirectory:

and on the Meraki side, you chose WPA2 Enterprise, correct?

Definitely WPA2 on the Meraki. I'll check my conditions though. Thanks for the tip.

@FATeknollogee to answer your original question, I host mine on site or in colo so far, simply because the capacity already exists for any client that is using it.

If I need to recommend it to a client without infrastructure, Vultr storage node will be the first suggestion for most deployment sizes as Scott mentioned.

I bet Ansible or Salt have options for it too.

@jrc said in Linux Permission Assignments:

To me a group is a collection of a certain type of user and is then used to streamline permissions to certain resources. EG Instead of giving read permission to Cathy, Joan and Frank, you can just create a group with them in it, and give that group read permission thereby simplifying your job.

I cannot for the life of me think why you would want a single user group with the same name as the user in it. Are there permissions that can only be assigned to a group rather than directly to the user?

What am I missing here?

Setgid creates group specific permissions for files in the directory with setgid turned on.

Having a group id also lets you do things like have root own a file and be able to modify it but let apache and only apache read it.

Edit: I see Romo beat me to it with the links. I didn't read them until just now.

Thank you for your feedback on 5nine Manager, guys.
Our goal is to provide an intuitive yet powerful product for complete centralized Hyper-V management experience.
It is now de-facto standard for managing environments with up to 20 Hyper-V host.

Now we are going even further, and prepared a great product, that can help you scale, segregate user management roles with RBAC, automation support and even more. Enjoy!

Beta program for 5nine Manager Datacenter is now open to public:

@alefattorini said in Nethserver for FTPS/SFTP:

It should work flawlessly, do you have any issue?

I guess a big question is, with Nethserver is.. does it "just work" or is there a setting that needs to be selected? Not sure if this is the default behaviour or not.

Mostly this. I haven't done anything with it yet and before I invest the time, I'd like to know if it possible and/or how difficult it is, especially since a co-worker claims that it did not and he went with IIS to get the same task done (and then he sat there cursing the whole day because he doesn't like Microsoft products).

@jimk said in What's Even Cooler Than Cloud Computing? Space Computing:

This is big news. Some will find it very good and cool, while others will be seriously freaked out by it. I'm curious to see what the actual payload will be for $2M per launch.

Combine this with SpaceX new ISP in space, our entire Internet might be floating above us soon!

@Joel said in Hosted Data Solution:

The downside to Dropbox and similar solutions is that we'd need to download & sync their 200GB to each computer including 1 external user.

That size puts them at a pretty small Vultr tier, too.
