What Are You Doing Right Now

Ok I know I was busy yesterday... But is it me or does everything look different around here? Who made changes without telling me?
-
*looks at @scottalanmiller -- It wasn't me, I promise!

My head has been buried in customer/prospective customer/LDSP stuff for the last few days. I really haven't talked to @scottalanmiller much this week.

Now you know that's not safe.... Somebody's gotta keep track of @scottalanmiller ... Don't need to lose him again ... #wheressam!

He might be safe I am pretty sure there aren't any massive parking garages in Crete.

No changes made, those are just standard thread thumbnails.

Trying to learn some Server 2012. This is more complicated than anything I've done in Linux.

I installed from scratch. Setting up folder redirection, and doing some other misc stuff. It just feels so disconnected.

Of course it is, everything in windows is a lot more complicated than on Linux. It's shocking when you are using to hearing the marketing from the people who haven't used Linux. Use both and it is amazing how much easier Linux is both for end users and for admins.

Last I used was 2003. It's probably because I haven't used it, but I can't imagine managing more than 3 of these.

That's why they are common with small shops - you need lots of people for very little work and it creates busy work so that the department isn't idle. Once you get to any size, the human overhead costs is enormous.

Maybe it's just me, but file based systems make so much more sense in my mind, I kind of just click with them. I think I've built a whole VDI container in less time than it's taking me to create a share and use folder redirection.

Funny of the morning: Super cold at my house this morning so I started the car like 15 minutes before I had to leave.
Fast forward 15 minutes go out to get in the car open the back door to put stuff in the car. And something ran into my leg (made me shriek). Bunny tired to kill me! I literally scared the crap out of the poor thing and it went hopping back under the car (heard it hit its head), out the other side and down the drive way
Interesting start to my day.

You don't have the whole idea of drive letters in Linux either. I can see the appeal in that, though It took me a while to wrap my head around everything just being some folder mounted under /
it's also not in your face that you are working on a different drive - which is both good and bad.

Although on Windows it still isn't clear... but pretends to be. Windows has all the complication of you needing to know everything going on under the hood with all the danger of convoluting it.

Sure, you can mount other drives under a different one, but that's pretty uncommon. Where else have you see it be confusing as to what drive you are on?
I need to qualify something here - when I'm talking about drives in these previous two posts, I'm actually talking about partitions mounted as drive letters in Windows, not actual physical drives.

That plus configs are in files. That makes much more sense to me. Like if I want to stop root login via ssh it's
vi /etc/ssh/sshd_configthen/PermitRootthen edit that line, then:wq. Takes maybe 10 seconds. I don't have to fumble through different windows to get what I want. -
