@scottalanmiller I don't know how new any of this is, but I'm really digging the transitions and logo stuff you got going on. It's got the RGB feel to it, but not over the top.

All that stuff is done by our marketing team in La Paz!

I'm liking these non-IT technician focused videos.

Thanks! I'm hoping to broaden the audience and make tools that IT staff can either use directly by sharing with management or learn from on how to present to management.

Far too often IT is pressured to make business decisions that other business stakeholders should be involved in.

And vice versa, tons of times untrained people with no IT insight or knowledge make all the critical IT decisions and just have the staff classified as IT deal with the mistakes rather than avoiding them.

I would like to say that I have not spoken to people who disagreed with the title. I would like to, but...

Movie looks good too. You have way too much head room though in your framing.
Just angle the camera down slightly so your eyes are above the center of the frame.
It'll look more professional that way.

Thanks, I switched to the media attachment on the GoPro Hero Black 9 so still getting used to that. Overall it seems to work okay, and having a room full of lights helps a lot. But still a bit of learning curve.

@gotwf said in SAMIT: IBM Is Killing Off CentOS:

@scottalanmiller Yes. This I know. But this isn't bare metal but rather SmartOS hypervisor in a Triton datacenter. So I presume all is atop ZFS. I never delved deeper so honestly do not know.

Hopefully not, as ZFS isn't all that fast. But you need XFS touching WiredTiger... what's lower in the stack isn't what it is concerned with. You still control your own filesystem regardless of what the datacenter may or may not use elsewhere.

Impressive work Eddie!

Thanks :)

@EddieJennings You've been busy!

That I have. I didn't do a practice session for every objective because I ran out of time before the test. But taking the time to talk through most of them was a good way for me to determine if I needed to go back and review details.

Pi-hole won't block youtube ads, at least not the in-video ads. You need youtube premium to get rid of them, no way to block those I'm afraid.

Noted - I don't get ads on the PC(s), likely due to different adblocker there.

and well - dang.

How are they being blocked on the PC... something other than blacklists/DNS not resolve...

My default had been to install adblocker when building a PC,.. so it's likely still running even with the pi-hole running.

Right, but how do most of those work? as far as I know they work by blocking DNS queries

@EddieJennings Good info thanks eddie!

You're welcome. My RHCSA videos are truly "practice sessions" for me, but the information should be accurate. :)

@scottalanmiller

I like your 53 mins intros, but that said you cover and reach all the important parts. I wonder what will be deep dive session how long will that video be.

@Dashrender said in SAMIT: Do You Really Need Active Directory:

I am surprised that MS didn't come out with a better solution for this ages ago. That whole Direct Connect or whatever it was called - phone home VPN solution they have for Enterprise edition only - what a kluge.

They are working on phasing this out. DirectAccess was a kludge that is being replaced by Always-On-VPN. Which works on versions of Windows Professional and Up and requires very little outside of a certificate and Group Policies (or Intune).
