I thought about using samba but have read that it’s not good to use nfs and samba on the same shared folders. I prefer to keep nfs because of the efficiency on my Linux clients.
Create a new shared folder where both NFS and Samba is sharing to test.

Neat, but pretty late to this game. Who uses IMAP to access email any longer? The idea of pulling email down to a client is pretty antiquated.
There are still those old school Opera fans that miss the built-in email client. I think Mozilla SeaMonkey is the only one that includes a mail client builtin.

Sony PlayStation 5 delivery delays spark row over who is to blame
Many customers hoping to get hold of a PlayStation 5 on its launch day have been left disappointed after online retailers sold out of the console.
In an email to customers, Game blamed courier firm Yodel, which has strenuously denied it is at fault, for some pre-ordered consoles not being delivered on launch day. Currys PC World and John Lewis had sold out of the PS5 by lunchtime. That led some gamers to pay nearly double the retail price on eBay. The PS5 was released in the UK on 19 November but lockdown has meant that people cannot purchase one in physical stores. The US launch took place last week.
I’m never that desperate to pay more for a gaming console on eBay.

My favorites are these two:
Upload files to multiple devices at once. If you want to upload a batch of files to many remote systems all at once, generally you upload to each device one at a time. With the latest MeshCentral administrators can now check many devices, hit the “Group Action” button, select one or more files and a destination path. MeshCentral will then receive the files and start uploading them to each device in a single step. It’s faster and a more efficient this way to perform this operation as the file is sent to the server only once.
File search feature. When browsing files on a remote system using MeshCentral, there is a new “Find” button you can use to search for files recursively starting at the folder the administrator is looking at now. You can stop the search at anytime and results will show up as they arrive. Like both features above, this works on all platforms (Windows, Linux, macOS, FreeBSD).

Working with making a Fedora ISO with a few extra packages pre-installed.
youtube-dl I hope!
No. I heard about youtube-dl's fate on the Linux Action News podcast though.
Well the way the music industry got it taken down is a bit insane, so I fully expect it to be back soon. If it's not already up on gitlab or any other number of platforms.
Can always install youtube-dl using pip which is how I access it.

After all of this, I still don't get the use case for LVM backed VMs. Other than possibly, possibly a super IO heavy database. Even then, it's questionable.
That's roughly it, and yes, it remains questionable at the best of times.
In the cases where you need LVM fat, you almost certainly also need to avoid LVM because that itty bitty overhead is still too much.
Preallocated qcow2 images are 99% as fast as LVM volumes. Even with just preallocating just the metadata I've had almost native disk write speeds. You lose all of the advantages of qcow2 like libguestfs, the qemu agent, internal and external snapshots, etc.
that said, no idea how the eff you do that with ProxMox. That was just KVM.
It's the default actually. We use Qcow2 on LVM-Thin mostly.
Hi Scott (and everyone else),
I've been playing around with Proxmox for a week or so. I haven't used LVM thinpools before so I wanted to check if I'm making sense here. Proxmox doesn't let me put a qcow directly onto a thinpool (like the local-lvm created by default).
Do I need to create a volume group on top of the thinpool, and mount that as directory storage to be able to use qcow2 on LVM-Thin as you're doing?Cheers!
It's easier to do on a vanilla KVM setup. Proxmox moved away from creating qcow2 for awhile now, you end up creating a raw vm disk image (logical volumes). You can import qcow2, see https://www.republicofit.com/topic/21751/import-a-qcow2-into-proxmox

Proxmox Backup Server 1.0 (stable)
https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/proxmox-backup-server-1-0-stable.78851/That's cool. Appears they recommend installing onto hardware and not a VM based on the install instructions.
Likely a box dedicated for just that purpose.
Even so, no reason not to virtualize that box.
I concur. I do see they say not to install it directly on the hypervisor -- now that I could get behind. Install it as a VM and connect it to the storage that it should use (off-box, preferably!) and go.
I actually want to play with Proxmox, I just don't have the hardware to do it with ATM.
At my last job, I used some extra low end laptops that we had, to setup Proxmox. I did they with XenServer/XCP-ng too.

@jt1001001 so a question for everyone who is a proponent of lan-less (office-less) do you compensate employees for using their home as work space?
Nope, part of that compensation if you need a push back is - you aren't spending gas money driving to work anymore - and if you're not on video calls, you don't need a professional wardrobe... not a huge savings, but likely noticeable in most households.
My counter to that would be, if you no longer have an office space you're saving a ton on rent/mortgage and are putting that burden on the employee to have a "work space at home for business benefit".
Thus I should be compensated.
At least that's the argument to be had.
And I don't disagree with this at all - and neither does the government - if you have a dedicated space to home office - you can write that off on your taxes...
So sure, I see both sides.The bigger issue I really see is - most homes don't have a good setup for home officing, and if they do, it's likely only for one person, not two or more.
think of a family of 4 with the two adults working from home. Assume the house is three bedroom and has a den (which 90% don't). One adult in the den, one likely in the living room/kitchen, and the kids in their bedrooms.
toss a third kid in there, now what?
I have a very very similar situation setup here at home. My wife and I are working back to back in the basement (aka man cave) of our home (three bedroom split level). Both the girls are in their bedroom for virtual school. Thank goodness we have a 100mbps connection.
For the most part all has been going OK except for when we both need to be on the phone. If there was a third kid, we would have issues.
One of many reasons why I wanted a home that has 4+ plus bedrooms.

Anyone ran into this error in Firefox 82.0.2 on Fedora 33?
Certain secured websites doesn't load with Firefox but it works on other chromium-based browsers.
The only fix I found was to set crypto policies to DEFAULT:FEDORA32.
It's system-wide changes so you will see this message after running the command:
Setting system policy to DEFAULT:FEDORA32 Note: System-wide crypto policies are applied on application start-up. It is recommended to restart the system for the change of policies to fully take place.
# To view the current crypto policy:
sudo update-crypto-policies --show
# To set the default crypto policy to Fedora 32 in Fedora 33:
sudo update-crypto-policies --set DEFAULT:FEDORA32
# To set the policy back to default:
sudo update-crypto-policies --set DEFAULT
You only need to restart Firefox for the changes to take place.
