An XPS with Ubuntu is very hard to beat for work. I used to have a setup like that. My needs changed lately and now is most efficient to run Win10/11, however, possibly 2nd quarter next year I'll be back to running Ubuntu mainly after I finish some Windows related projects.

Huh - I love the idea of getting away from Google and their data mongering... but I don't see this being viable.

Isn't that the problem almost all open source projects have?

You need someone with resources to market it, pour money in it and polish it for mass consumption.

That's why linux on the desktop hasn't taken off and probably never will. Nobody is marketing it and nobody is going to - unless there is money to be made in some way.

PeerTube could become a thing among geeks open source advocates though.

The issue here is not related to the source but to a service.

PeerTube isn't a service. It's a self-hosted video server that can also federate content from other PeerTube servers.

So the network of PeerTube servers is decentralized and not subject to the whims of any one company. Like email. Or the www before companies started to build closed networks inside (Facebook etc).

it is a service, just like email is a service. But as you mentioned a decentralized one.

And that's the killer - why it won't ever have mass appeal on it's own.

Now as you mentioned if someone comes along, takes the open source, pours a moon worth of dollars into it, polishes it up, etc... and mass markets it to the public... they could make it appeal-able to the masses.
the question then becomes - how do they monetize it? Ads you say? well, then you're just becoming the next Youtube, collecting data because the advertisers demand it.

@krzykat This wouldn't have been that. Was just worth getting an RMA and starting fresh.

@dashrender said in Phishing rules versus poor translations:

Garage office getting an upgrade?

Customer site. The 5 year old Black & Decker unit they had died.

I've never setup anything manual/specific with IPv6 (and by manual, I've never setup DHCP on Windows server to hand out ULA).

I've only ever used the privately assigned IPv6 stuff internally, then let my router do NAT for both IPv4 and IPv6.

@pete-s said in Windows Terminal:

But Microsoft have been pretty consistent through the years about using "console" and not "terminal" for this kind of application.

True. They do always use some weird terminology that is very specifically something else but "not when Microsoft says it."

Would something like crackmapexec do the trick? I've started playing around with it to validate that some of our security configs are actually doing what they're supposed to and it can be used to dump user lists from a lot of the native windows locations. Not sure that it would get everything that you're looking for but "hacking" tools might be something to consider in addition to the typical bevy of PS and Windows commands.

@pete-s said in Shift + PgUp/PgDn in terminal?:

When you use Shift + PgUp/PgDn on a linux console you can scroll the screen buffer.

Where does this behavior come from? Is it the shell, a utility on the server, is it the console client, is it the ssh client?

It's not working for me using ssh (on windows) and I realized I have no clue where to start looking...

Probably specific to the config of your terminal program, unless you’re truly talking about the console itself.

I had to alter some key bindings in Gnome Terminal to get the desired behavior from the weechat key bindings.

You were right. I was trying out Windows Terminal and running ssh inside. And shift+pgup/dn didn't work as expected.

I looked at the Windows Terminal keybindings and the default was not what I wanted.

So I added this under "actions" in the settings.json file:

// Scrollback { "command": "scrollDown", "keys": "shift+down" }, { "command": "scrollDownPage", "keys": "shift+pgdn" }, { "command": "scrollUp", "keys": "shift+up" }, { "command": "scrollUpPage", "keys": "shift+pgup" },

The added bonus is that shift+pgup/dn now also works with cmd.exe and PowerShell.

@hobbit666 said in Raspberry Pi Blade Servers:

Out of interest what would you use this for?

One case I can think of as if you were running a 3-D printer farm. Although you might be able to run more than one printer off of one pie if you were not also running a camera.

@jasgot it’s less about the physical size of the monitors and more the resolution of the monitor.

Our Surface Pro 6 drives a 27” 1920x1080 display no problems.

If you need/want 4K, the specs should tell you if they are supported.

@zachary715 said in HP 2920 switch firmware issue:

I've been running WB. 16.10.0010 for a few months now without issues on a couple 2920's.

Only 1 out of 5 had this issue for the client, so it seems to be a rare problem. Of course it was the core switch that everything connects to.

@scottalanmiller
I've never heard of TacticalRMM - but I love our MC. Is everyone digging it? I see that its a very active development and think I need to give it a try.

Not many people using it that I know of, we just started using it in the last few weeks. but I've been following it for a while. They see to be doing some awesome stuff.

@eleceng said in Best Dedup Software:

Any opinions on the dedupe software and the search software r appliance?

For this kind of thing, you don't need software for a couple reasons. One is that you need to manually maintain the master file system for them to share. And second because you can just write a script that compares checksums and lists the master list of files for you to store. No need for software as the OS can already do this.

@scottalanmiller said in Postfix Script to send email automatic:

This is the industry standard way, it's so quick, easy, efficient and standard that no one ever considers reinventing the wheel because the wheel is so good.

People have repeatedly reinvented the wheel. . . .

@scottalanmiller said in Macbook Air for College:

What more were you looking for?

Air or Pro?

It depends. If you need the extra 100 nits of brightness, touchbar, and you know you need the fan from extended compute then get the pro. Otherwise save the couple hundred and get the air.

You can still get the 8 core cpu and 8 core gpu in the air. It's pretty much the same minus the stuff mentioned above. The battery is also a tiny bit smaller and I think the microphone is less "studio quality".

Yeah, watch out for the 7 core Air. Cheaper, but just splurge.

Also the Air is lighter. For a student on the go, likely will be appreciated.

@flaxking said in Microsoft Resellers:

Great experience with Insight Canada account managers. Not so great experience with CDW.

Ingram Micro and Synnex were ok, RMAs always were a pita.

In the US we have to use Insight Canada for account managers. And they were terrible. We've had so many customers totally screwed because they lost their licenses, had no way to be reached. At one point, even Microsoft had no way to reach Insight!

You can also run the Veeam ENdpoint agent on the VMs and run the backups.
