Finally finished switching over to Fedora 25 Workstation from Windows 10 at work. Windows VM is all setup with RSAT installed.

@jrc Korora 25 Gnome, Fedora 25 Gnome, and Ubuntu works pretty well with my Dell Latitude 3440. Sticking with Dell or HP would be a good starting point.

Surprise surprise. . .

AMD processors are affected by a patch meant for Intel systems. . . and Microsoft is mums-the-world about the whole thing. . .

Not sure why Microsoft couldn't detect if you are using Intel or AMD processors and then turn off when its a AMD processor.

Which is 'better'

Mapping by IP or FQDN?

FQDN. It a lot easier to move data between servers if users are mapped with FQDN. Especially if using Dfs Namespace.

@Fredtx said in What is the best way to prepare for a technical phone interview?:

Do you keep a cheat sheet (sounds bad) by your side, such as tcp/udp port numbers for known protocols, domain fsmo roles and their function, terminology definitions, etc?

I had a recruiter provided me some questions to prepare in case I get asked questions outside of what I already know.

It doesn't matter to me, learn RHEL-based then Debian-based or Debian-based then RHEL-based. You'll end up using both anyway.

They call it StaffHub, but the first thing you do is Add your team not your staff. Minds well call it TeamHub.

And since discovering Mangolassi, XenServer seems to be only popular here when Xen Orchestra is being used with it.

that's the only context in which it makes sense. That's its one main management tool.

But saying that, you could say the same kind of thing for Vmware ESXi... it's only popular with vSphere to manage it. Of course, you need something to manage anything. When you have a management tool that is free and really good, there is no need for anything else and/or the two just become associated. That XS is only popular with XO just makes sense, as it is open, free and very powerful. XS has to have some tool, and that one is so good that no one else tries to compete.

Besides not supported better file systems for vm storage especially when using thin storage. I'm never a fan XenCenter it gets the job done but I much rather do things via CLI. I really hope XenServer devs integrated XO soon.

I think they should focus on things like not using ext3 first.

Totally agree. They should really have two version of XenServer. One can be the current one. And the other will include things like ext4, xfs, LVM thin.

I've been using Quad9 with PiHole for awhile now.

@Tim_G said in File and Directory Naming Conventions:

I just use spaces. It works better with searches.

I used to not use spaces, but it really doesn't matter anymore.

When downloading files from sharepoint, it replaces spaces with "%20" that's another reason I avoid spaces.

Listening to the police officer talk about active shooting/killing at my job.

Wait, what?

Seconded.

We invited a police officer to discuss about how to handle a situation if an active shooting occurs here.
