Powering down a Windows Server 2003 R2 host and it is suddenly trying to apply.... TWENTY FIVE updates.

Holy crap, WTF.

I retired my last 2650 in 2012 and it had a Diskette to allow BOOT to USB !

Wondering... What if the reason microsoft is release so much of there software for linux is because the next version of windows will be Windows the Linux Distro.. maybe with a compatiblity layer better than wine to run current apps til they convert to native apps..

Looked at another house today, but it's just too small and needs too much maintenance stuff.

I.E. Someone got mad about something unrelated and smashed it on a concrete floor somewhere.

Discovered a wicked way of auto answering mysql_secure_installation.

printf "\nn\nn\nY\nY\nY\nY\n" | sudo mysql_secure_installation

export DB_ROOT_PASS="$(head /dev/urandom | tr -dc A-Za-z0-9 | head -c 13)"
mysql -e "UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('$DB_ROOT_PASS') WHERE User='root';"

echo ""
echo "Your MariaDB Root Password: $DB_ROOT_PASS"

Or just don’t use it.

You can do the same with 4 mysql commands

# Secure MariaDB (this does what mysql_secure_installation performs without interaction)
mysql -e "UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('Generate a random password here') WHERE User='root';"
mysql -e "DELETE FROM mysql.user WHERE User='root' AND Host NOT IN ('localhost', '127.0.0.1', '::1');"
mysql -e "DELETE FROM mysql.user WHERE User='';"
mysql -e "FLUSH PRIVILEGES;"
