@tim_g said in Are People Just Not Buying Computers Anymore?:

Before, a family of 5 for example, had one computer in the house and that was all there was. And the cost of that computer was two to three thousand dollars. Back then, it was a LOT.

Now, there may be 2 laptops, a tablet, and 2 or 3 cellphones per household. All for less than the cost of that single PC back in the day.

That's how I see it and my experience.

For others, there may be a 8 year old laptop in a household and a few cell phones.

On top of that, gaming consoles are pretty common for the games nobody wants to play on a small screen.

One can setup a small desktop and turn that into a gaming system and have it right next to there TV nowadays.

But do you trust that person?

Would Vultr's smallest instance be enough?

I would assume the $5 instance would the best choice.

@aaronstuder said in Pi-hole on Fedora has issues with SELinux:

Doing a fresh install now on F27 with SEL in permissive. Where is the SELinux logs stored?

/var/log/audit/audit.log

Almost about to head to work but I was smart enough to log into Workday and found out its a holiday today.

Would've of been pretty sad arriving to work and I'm the only one there.

@stacksofplates said in Pi-hole on Fedora has issues with SELinux:

So did a new install on Fedora 27. Still didn't work, so I just installed it on Debian.

Why not permanently set SELinux to permissive instead of using Debian?

Confirmed working on Permissive.

It always worked when set to permissive. I also preferred using permissive instead of disabling SELinux that way I can fix the errors later.

yep really - no clue what that is or who she is.

Did you enable the option to Run in logged-on user's security context (user policy opition)?

Installed SQL Server 2017 on CentOS and accessing it via Azure Data Studio from my Fedora computer.

When I was using Ubuntu Desktop, I used swapfile instead of a swap partition just so I don't have to waste disk space.

I use powerShell on Linux regularly. But nothing with AD.

Whether we can check the locked users from the AD ?

Upgrading Zabbix 3.4 to 4.0 on CentOS.

Hope your upgrade went as smoothly as mine. Did you notice the speed boost with yours?

It did. My first time upgrading it. It helped following this guide.

Updating Nextcloud

I did that today, but had to use the command line method because the web updater complained that it didn't have write access to a bunch of non existent files in the /update subdirectory. Planning to do this in my home lab tonight and get it documented on the Nextcloud forums if I see the same thing.

The last few updates I've been sticking with CLI to update Nextcloud.
