      Thinking about using docker containers for our Raspberrry Pis. Keeping the images up to date is a real PITA. Use-case could be a RabbitMQ base container and several others specific to each student lecture.

          I'm setting up the HALizard configuration for my two servers.

          I'm excited / anxious to see it work.

                So I went for a walkthrough of my network last night and here are a few things I learned:

                1. There is zero labeling on any Ethernet ports on the wall or on the switches.
                2. Most network closets are running at 100 degrees.
                3. I was told "we have a disaster recovery platform but I don't know what it is."
                4. Our backup solution breaks all of the time. We checked it in person and the last backup they did was on 6/6.
                5. The VM Host machine is at LEAST 4.5 years old (and I mean minimum). Accounts receivable doesn't know when we purchased the server and none of the hardware has been replaced as far as anyone knows.
                6. The file sever and secondary VM are running Windows Server 2003 (easily correctable).
                7. The guy said he had some kind of problem mounting network shares. Unsure what the issue was as he wasn't very clear. I'm sure I will find a lot more.

                      I actually have deciding power. I'm so grateful to be out of the non-profit sector.

                          Ok, now the painless part makes sense. I was starting to doubt my competence...

                          It looks like HA-Lizard might be abandoning the NOSAN_Installer script because of differences between dom0 versions of CentOS.

                            I think @aaronstuder posted a utility program that blocks windows 10 updates. Anyone using that or something similar to stop this madness?

                              Stopping Windows 10 is the same problem we had with people sitting on XP for f[moderated]ing ever. Move on people.

                                  A branch office was trying to keep an XP based laptop. I walked in and took it the other day. Nope, sorry fuckers not allowed.

                                    Russian roulette, no more, no less. The question is not if they will get a virus/scareware/ransomware/whatever, the question is just "when".

                                        I want to move on but Microsoft is strangling people with piano wire trying to get them to adopt it. I need to make sure everything my new company uses is compatible and if it isn't then I need to replace stuff.
