@jaredbusch said in Restoring a Windows MS SQL Server Database to Linux With Move SQLCMD:

@scottalanmiller I have not had to do that before with a normal backup to a .bak and then restore. Not some an place move like it seems you are doing.

Happens if going to a space with a different storage layout. If you are coming from Linux you are probably fine. But Windows injects the drive letter into the path (obviously) and so going from one machine to another that doesn't keep identical storage path names causes the issue.

@scottalanmiller said in beyond bash shell scripting, what language should I use:

Go is great as a language. But like Ruby, not installed generally. And fewer resources. If it was a greenfield new OS, yeah, Go for sure. But for practical reasons, Python I think.

As these are systems that I control, there is no reason Go cannot be installed.

Between your comments and prior ones from @stacksofplates I think I might try Go in order to learn it.

You normally wouldn't install it anyway as it's not a scripting language. You'd just compile your binary and ship that to your systems.

I completely misunderstood that about Go. Okay, I will do a bit of checking and decide what I want to do.

oh sorry, I figured you knew. That's why I never look at it, I don't want to deal with binaries in that way. But nothing wrong with that. Write it on your machine at home, compile, ship binary. Works just fine.

As fixed tasks, this is not a bad solution. So I will keep it in mind.

Right, no big deal in this case.

@gjacobse the article is a little misleading. Linux doesn't provide DNS services. So Linux can't be the issue. Any given Linux distro might have one or more default DNS server options, so Ubuntu or RHEL might have this issue, but Linux itself cannot.

In the article, you have to dig before they mention BIND, a DNS server, as being a problem with this issue. BIND is certainly the de facto standard on Linux and represents a problem for the community and ecosystem, but the article presents it in very much a click bait sort of way.

And then it appears to describe the issue as a protocol issue, not an implementation issue and seems to feel that the issue is just that the protocol used for DNS was insecure.

@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.

@stuartjordan said in Managing Publicly hosted Linux Servers through Cockpit:

Cockpit looks nice and all that, but the version I tried didn't seem to have as many features or as much control like webmin does.

Tried Cockpit on Ubuntu? If so, you probably been using a old version because the only distro that I know that always has the latest version is Fedora.

Yep I'm a Debian/Ubuntu guy. I could probably add the repository for the latest version to try out if it does have more features. I'm normally straight up do everything through cli but wanted to try it out. then I tried webmin out which I haven't touched in over 8 years. They have defiantly improve things on their panel.

@scottalanmiller said in How to Install PHP 7.3 on Ubuntu 18.04:

I hate having to do this, but sometimes it has to be done. Here is how to get this middling PHP version onto this old version of Ubuntu.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php sudo apt update

I'm not sure that is the proper way to do it.
ppa are personal repositories - meaning someone put it together.

I think Ubuntu has offical backports, just like Debian.
In that case it would be better to get a the "newer" php version from the backport repository instead.

UPDATE.
It looks like the ondrej/php repository is actually maintained by a Debian developer, Ondřej Surý. He is one of the package maintainers for the official debian and ubuntu php packages.
