Has anyone ever use the Intel Compute stick on a projector?

We were just talking about doing that today!

You're going to want a powered USB hub and a separate Wi-Fi dongle in my opinion.

@Jimmy9008 said in New Project - Thoughts? (CentOS, HAProxy, Load Balance)...:

In Windows, Remote Access/RDP etc is not enabled OOB. I assume the same in Linux? Unless you can connect to each through a command line/ssh or something, which maybe needs to be enabled/disabled etc...

Linux has no default, it is the distros here that would have a default. CentOS defaults to SSH enabled. Most places leave it enabled. But certainly not all.

Thanks, that's much better 🙂

Dumb question from me... Have you tested the network CABLE to make sure it is good?

@JaredBusch said in Korora - what do you do with the desktop experience:

Looks like I have KDE.

I did not actually pick one. I simply clicked download, so I randomly got KDE.

Now to switch to Cinnamon.

Oh. I respect the KDE team a lot but I've not been comfortable with their desktop post version 3. It's solid and loaded with features but the Plasma stuff is weird and not intuitive. If you go "power user" on it I'm sure it's great. But for me, I left it as I'm a more casual style desktop user and it just didn't fit with me.

I think that they decided that the market was full and that they needed to really innovate to be relevant, which they did. It's interesting and someday I hope to have time to dig into it more.

Ya I don't see the use of the plasma workspaces. I use the traditional workspaces a ton in Gnome 3, but I don't see the value to what plasma does with them. I tried having a separate "business" vs "personal" workspace a while ago and just couldn't wrap my head around the use case.

Same here. The old style desktops I used and liked. Plasma I just can't figure out.

ForestDNSZone

I'm trying to do this now and my ADSI edit doesn't show the ForestDNSZone. Assuming my TLD/Domain was contoso.com, I should be plugging in this, right? No worky... Not sure why.

Are you working on a single domain or one root domain with multiple subdomains?

(*&@^$(@ Thing. Apparently, you need spaces in between the commas. This is dumb, though. Some places, this doesn't matter and others, you can't have spaces, and then this requires a space. Stupid thing.

Oh yeah. That makes sense.

rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/*

and this one if there are any weird issues

rm -rf /System/Library/Caches/*

@aaronstuder are you working for @olivier ?

Just curious.

Also awesome work @olivier and team.

It should be in a quote. But that can be hard to do with a multiline quote like that without serious editing.

It is not super hard to do, but even lacking quoting the entire ting properly, it can easily be posted in a more intelligent manner to be obvious that you are copy/pasting something and not selling something.

@momurda said in Issues Installing Fedora 25 on Intel FakeRAID Device on Asus RoG G701:

You could try the rawhide version of fedora, it is using 4.11 instead of 4.8.6

He tried the current alpha release, worked the same.

@fuznutz04 said in Visual Studio Code (free and open source):

Any particular reason?

Lighter, does what I want without lots of extra stuff.

Lead management.
Run targeted marketing campaigns.
Campaign analysis.
End user warranty database.

That's pretty much it at the moment.

We already use Dynamics NAV for ERP, and Microsoft CRM integrates nicely. Or at least it did, I guess with Dynamics 365, all bets are off - especially as it currently only includes AX rather than NAV as the financials side of the product.

@DustinB3403 got it, I am so new to this that I don't know sometimes but I will relax a bit 🙂

@JaredBusch I was just saying I see this:

so that is why I am saying it shows up there, I guess the release notes are not there though.

Split DNS is the way to go if you have the .local domain naming. Otherwise having your organization domain as org.domain.com might be better as to not use your main domain.

@stacksofplates Thanks for the link. I would just like to know when security updates are released without having to actively look.

and after a lot of episodes, I've fixed the thing.

please let me state this again: I HAVE.

I.

Not the HPE support, not the reseller tech support.

I HAVE.

I = An almost idiot ex-embedded sw developer illogically cast into the sysadmin role of a non-sense company!

TL; DR:
there was a mismatch between OS version, bios version, controllers firmware version, controller drivers version. Selecting the right combination has (apprarently) fixed the issue!

how storage controllers affect reboot signals is still a mistery... but actually all was related to the smart paging I mentioned before. Moving it from the default location caused all the issues.
I have discovered the "bug" recreating a new vm with copy-pasted hdd but with hypervisor defaults... 2 twins VM one running one not... only difference: location of the smart paging file. XD

This way you can share the config(s) under conf.d between multiple machines using the same roles (or whatever Salt calls them) and have different main NGINX server settings.
