Deduplication by script can work pretty well. What is difficult is figuring out if things point to the files in different locations, so that they don't lose track of where the remaining actual file is. Symlinks can fix this, it's just annoying.

FYI, if I add a contact, it does work as described above by JB.

@scottalanmiller said in NodeBB 1.4.2 New Install Account Creation Errors:

Got in, ./nodebb setup had failed and just needed to be run again.

What caused the failure?

Not sure, maybe a database connection.

@BRRABill said in Repos Make All of the Difference:

Can you explain all of the different repos?

Basically ever major OS except for Windows and Mac OSX, comes with a set of default repositories for software that represent what is considered to be supported as part of the base OS. CentOS, for example, as the core repos that include the repos for the Base OS, one for pulling source files and a few others that are normally off by default. This allows you to easily install the smallest possible or reasonable OS and add additional software as needed only. No need to bundle it all in and bloat the system, yet still trivially easy to add on what you need.

Anyone can operate their own repo. So you can make your own if you want. The ML servers use a repo from the MongoDB folks so that we pull the latest and greatest, supported and official MongoDB database servers directly from MongoDB instead of waiting for Red Hat to put older, Red Hat supported versions into the RH repos. So our MongoDB is managed transparently with the rest of the system, but we configure it to be much more modern than the MongoDB instance available with the OS itself.

Server 2012 (maybe R2?) added the ability to have a backup/failover DHCP server in the Windows world.

But this is a waste of time.

Make a backup of your DHCP server config manually if you are worried about the VM hosting the service going south but not being restored.

I have my XS hosts sync with our watchguard, as it has an ntp server. The watchguard syncs with pool.ntp.org servers. The DC here sync with pool.ntp.org servers, and clients and servers sync with the DC

@DustinB3403 said in Zabbix logging PC that is off?:

The template you're using for this graph should be 0_1483638046239_chrome_2017-01-05_12-40-35.png

That's for CPU Load, not for CPU Utilization.

@DustinB3403 said in Ethernet based teleconference - room speakers - projector etc:

Do you have roaming profiles?

Nope - but I do have redirected folders for My Documents and favorites (IE only).

Roaming profiles have caused me nothing but headaches in the past, I avoid them if at all possible.

You definitely do not have to move everything. If you want to clean it up, you can, but I would not waste time doing it.

Sorry for the late response...

The photographer thingy is just an example. There is no photographer here in the office, and we'll be doing this "slideshow" for the next.... months... if not forever.

The slides will be update more than once per day.

The website idea seems good. I'll run by my manager to see if he likes it or not.

@Dashrender said in To replace or repair:

Originally I was thinking that a portable unit might be the best. An all in one unit, connected to the ducts, easy to install, easy replace. But the mobility is completely unneeded, and the cost is an extra 10% over the Diakin, but offers a 10% discount over the Mitsubishi. But I don't know if it's really meant to run 24/7/365, or if they are really more meant as temporary solutions for a few weeks - so maintaining it could be costly.

The split unit is designed for continuous use, I do need to confirm they are both configured for Nebraska winters - I've learned that these units default design only takes them down to around 10. There are typically addons that get them below that.

I have a portable unit at a client that has been running for 2+ years now. No idea what it is designed for though. But it only cost around $700 so for the cost it works well.

Consumer version I assume? From some place like Home Depot or Lowell's? If I could get a 1 ton unit like that, that might really be the cheapest option 😛
Doesn't seem very business like though.

Yes and who cares what it seems like. It works well and the price point suffices.

One of the confusing pieces here is that Linux actually does things more clearly but the Windows world is so confusing that if you carry that confusion into the Linux world, it makes things harder. Windows rarely uses or discloses the names of their product components. So Windows Software RAID is used to describe part of the Windows OS. But what if you have software RAID on Windows that is not Windows Software RAID? Windows Admins typically have no good terminology to discuss this, even though it is common. They just.... don't know what's going on and don't document it. But in Linux, we have the terms on hand all of the time (MD, ZFS, whatever.) So the Linux side isn't as bad as it seems, but if you are used to a weird blend of generic names being used as if they are specifics from the Windows world and assume that the Linux world is just as crazy, then it seems crazy.

I have used omv in my test lab here and at home a bit. The test lab it worked well, but i just ended up using ubuntu and iscsi when i had to put something in production. omv just has a web interface, some plugins to turn on. Sort of like webmin lite but for only storage. Development seems active; they keep producing new builds.
At home i installed it as a vm for a bit but when i broke my Xenproject i ended up reformatting that drive and omv with it.

One more reason we really need Self Driving cars!!!!

@Minion-Queen said in CES coverage:

The Surface is still piece of crap.

This is mainly why I said this was to little to late.

The price is actually awesome, $149 to make this more or less a real laptop - sweat! but alas, the product is crap - battery problems, wifi problems, etc.

It's a pretty box that you can throw all that insecure crap in, and then set on your curb.

Now, what will I do with my $25K?

That's exactly enough for a small HC3 cluster!

Or a small new car...

Sure, if you want to be boring.

I would actually buy a ridiculously big 4K TV and a new receiver, then put the rest toward my mortgage.

GTX 1050 and i5 Kaby Lake.

With a 4k display, that graphics card isn't going to be able to do very high settings at 4k. 4GB also seems a little skimpy. Still, for $800 it isn't bad. Like @wirestyle22 said, do they need a laptop? Otherwise you could get better value with a Steam machine type box and hook it up to their existing TV.

You wrote this while I was typing. So that's a decent GTX card. But 4K display seems wrong.

My guess is either it's mainly for viewing 4k video content (although at 15inches, who cares?) or simply the 4k screens are a cheaper price point due to manufacturing scaling than a 1080p screen. Or just marketing.

Could just set games to quarter resolution, but that is annoying.

Yeah either that or just turn down/off anti-aliasing and drop a few other settings down depending on the game. I'm guessing @Dominica's parents probably are at that age where it frankly doesn't matter due to their age and eyesight.

A bigger issue will likely be scaling. Lots of games barf if you use Windows scaling to make things big enough to see. And especially games that they like.

As long as you're going in multiples of the resolution it won't be to bad. So if they set everything to 1080p instead of 4k it shouldn't look horrible.

I mean that the games actually won't run.

True, although GOG has done a good job of testing for the most part, for older games. Still there are some that just won't look good or run at larger resolutions. You could set the monitor itself to a lower resolution instead of upscaling the game though, no?

There are entire categories of casual games that don't even function on scaled resolutions. The underlying engines won't accommodate it. Hidden object games are a big one.

Yeah I never play those so I guess I'm missing out on that special area of troubleshooting 🙂

@Dashrender said in Ease of the "Cloud", Without the "Cloud":

It surprises me that the costs could be lower. I would expect the economy of scale and lack of local IT support (or MSP/ITSP) requirements I would be allow prices to be driven lower. Of course you didn't say it would be lower, just said "often for much less cost."

Scale is what makes it viable at all. Elastic scalability is an insanely expensive feature to deliver. And neither solution requires a local MSP/ITSP, that's part of the comparison. These are "plug and play" level products. But in reality, using a service like Amazon where the scale is really good you run into a heavy technical barrier to use that HC does not have (normally.) So if anything, cloud makes you have more ITSP requirements compared to HC. Cloud has a lot of hidden costs that HC does not have.

@alex.olynyk said in Azpen Tablet Only Powers On When Plugged In:

Model A1045DRI
Battery is at 100% when plugged in.
But when you unplug it wont power on.
Reset to factory defaults and still wont power on unless plugged in. Any idea why?

Unless there's any kind of reset switch hidden inside of the system, I'd suggest battery. Is it under warranty?
