    • RE: VMware vSphere 6.7 Released

      Yeah, pretty ironic.
      But there's at least one thing wrong about that website. It is offering a keygen for this commercial product.

      Thanks for sharing the script, dafyre. Will give it a try, too.

    • RE: HostAPD: Linux Wifi Router

      As one's last resort, this should definitely do the trick. Will save for myself, just in case.

    • RE: People claim select-string is like grep...

      @momurda if you doubt what type (object/string/anything) is returned, try using $a.GetType() and it will return you the variable type.

      Just made a switch from Jira to ZenDesk here - smooth as butter.

    • RE: FTP download from a Host with poor connectivity

      It would also be possible to break down the files with WinSCP and transfer them with FileZilla.

      Get WinSCP: http://winscp.net/eng/index.php - "WinSCP is an open source free SFTP client, FTP client, WebDAV client and SCP client for Windows."

      Add a Custom Command:
      Code: rar a -r -m0 -v20m "!.rar" "!"
      'Remote Command', 'Apply to Directories'... Add the Custom Commands toolbar.
      This command will use Rar (install it on your server) to spit the file(s)/directory into 20mb numbered rar files using no compression, therefore very quickly. If you multi-select files, they'll each have their own multi-part rar file, nice.

      We will still use Filezilla for transferring the files, using Simultaneous Transfers 😉 as it's by far the nicest/best working FTP client out there (even despite this missing, much needed functionality).

      So now the every-day steps are:

      1. Start WinSCP
      2. Log in to the server
      3. Browse to the file(s)
      4. Select them
      5. Click on the custom command's toolbar button ... it then gets to work processing (seconds or a minute perhaps)...
      6. Start Filesilla
      7. Log in to the server
        8 ) Browse to the file(s) and the multi-part rars
      8. Select the rars
      9. Download them to the local machine ... watching the simultaneous transfers chomping thru the data!
      10. Unrar the local rar files when completed
      11. Delete the rar files from the remote server using WinSCP as it does it quicker.

      Finished.

    • RE: Upgrading Fedora 22 to 27

      the key import command is

      Code:
      sudo rpm --import keyfilenamegoeshere

      run it from the directory you saved the key file to, the F27 key won't exist on your system since it is over 3 versions old

      you should then be able to upgrade from Fedora 22 straight to Fedora 27 using the dnf system upgrade tool. you may however need to add the commands --allowerasing and --nogpgcheck (read the notes in the wiki regarding the obvious security risk of doing this, it's your choice entirely to use it or not) if errors still persist. check carefully what packages are preventing the upgrade though in the output from the commands run

      For the time being, not sure you'll be able to find something better than Veeam.

    • RE: Need to track what PHP script is generating a file on nix

      I do understand the initial intention to get rid of those files by completely eliminating their source. Try this https://wordpress.org/plugins/string-locator/ to search for "/var/tmp/" hardcoded anywhere throughout the Wordpress installation. If not successful at the moment, you might simply automate their deletion with some cron job until you get to know what produces them.

    • RE: Advice On a New Setup

      Indeed, StarWind could do a great job in case of clustering required for this environment.
      With Ceph it could be a tough job to make it work properly, especially in terms of the amount of time spent on that.

    • RE: VMWare Shutdown

      I shut the VMs down gracefully rather than suspend them. Fortunately, I have not run into issues with pending Windows Updates being installed during this shutdown, although I have heard of such cases and it's something I still have to consider.

    • RE: Android apk repository?

      What about Amazon Appstore? It could be a really good alternative to Google's Play Market in the view of no Google services installed.

    • RE: SAS SSD vs SAS HDD in a RAID 10?

      Before the RAID array type is selected, it would be great to know the workload in terms of write operations. For RAID5/6 write performance will be significantly lower than that of RAID10 on the same disks. Just bear that in mind.

      The PowerShell way will definitely not affect the domain membership. As for the wmic method, I have not tried that a single time to confirm.

    • RE: Hyper-V Integration Services Shows VM Created in 1600

      It looks like the creation time parameter is missing there. Check this https://www.altaro.com/hyper-v/restoring-virtual-machine-creation-time/ for a way to fix it.
      Edited: added correct link.
