Sure ^^ what he said.

an idea that came up - Use the one (s) Dash brings for work- only.
and go get me a chrome book for personal use or a barebones laptop and put Fedora or Ubuntu on to it.@scottalanmiller @DustinB3403 what do you think of that?

Sure, but why not just get 2 laptops from @Dashrender and setup one for work only and the other for personal stuff?
Which then leads into the conversation of "It really sucks to have to lug two laptops around".

I wouldn't be lugging 2 around - One for personal when im not on call, and one for work for when I am.

But you'd still have to maintain the equipment, which would be comparable to lugging two of them around.
Just get one, setup a VM on it for your work. And leave the VM off when you aren't on call.
During your on call time are you expected to sit there watching monitors for issues or do you wait for a customer call?

Customer Calls - We dont watch sites unless absolutely necessary.

So why maintain more hardware than required? Power for the battery, internet. It time to ensure things are up to date and current.
And isn't/wasn't the goal to be able to setup VM's to test issues your clients are reporting to try and resolve them in a controlled environment?
Hardware actually makes that more difficult to do on a continual basis. With a VM it's trivial to roll back to a snapshot or restore a backup.
-
VMs for sure however you do the hardware.
-
Plus 2 laptops just take up space.
Regardless of how you look at it. It has to live somewhere. Even though it's a laptop, it's taking up space and adding clutter.
Simplify the entire process, single laptop. Decent SSD and RAM resources in it and a VM for your work stuff.

Shit I even have an older server at my house that I can't use for my lab any more.
If you wanted a server to lab with, come get it.

Will it be compatible with my BSL-4 lab? I got some mad scientist projects I'm working on.

Here I am in my BSL-4 lab posting to Mangolassi. Gotta protect yourself from hackers.

I need this in my house. For science-ing.

One of my Black Pearl plants has started to ripen the chillies... one so far, this season looks like I will get a good harvest.
My Trinidad Scorpion has a couple of flowers, so they might be ready by April but my Habanero probably won't have anything this season as I had to trim it (growing up too fast) to promote strengthening of the main stem (lost 4 -6 flowers) but next year will be grand!If you give them a bit of phosphorus heavy fertilizer, they will be much more likely to set more flowers. Look for something labeled "bloom booster" or whatever... As long as the middle number is the highest in the N-P-K ratio.
Excellent, thanks!
I was wondering what they needed.
