Morning, I'm on my 3rd cup of coffee. Have already setup a new hire and am ready to go home.

An hours worth of work counts as a full day on Mondays, right?!

This has been an open feature request for a while. .

Yeah, that I know. I'm figuring that getting it built in isn't going to be an option, potentially ever. Another reason that we use Zoho instead of Bookstack internally.

Why not take some of the development team you have and task them with getting this created as a PR for the project?

the dude literally choked a mountain lion to death. Talk about manly. Most dudes can only choke a chicken.

Well this technically makes sense though.

A network isn't only assigned to a single VM, and can be assigned to many, the same occurs for disks etc as you may want to delete the compute resource, and attach the vhd to another system.

@scottalanmiller are you sure you aren't programming the printer?

@openit said in What do you use to manage multiple Linux servers?:

To manage CentOS, Ubuntu and Redhat linux servers, what do you use?
Do you recommend something like https://cockpit-project.org/ ?

Cockpit is for managing one machine. It's a nice tool but.... doesn't address real management.

I wonder what do you mean by "for managing one machine"? I setup Cockpit, added multiple servers and I can manage all these servers individually from Cockpit.

If you are talking about "can't trigger a task on all servers connected on Cockpit", maybe yes, so far I can select one Server and manage it, but no action option for all Servers at a time.

I was initially thinking the same thing, and cockpit is a great solution to administer an environment, but it's not an orchestration tool for an fleet of equipment.

Salt, Ansible, Chef and Puppet are all orchestration tools, to ensure the systems are doing what they need to.

Wood splitting is a good way to vent stress.

No one would dare talk to someone who's pissed and with an axe in their hands.

@scottalanmiller said in So Windows 11??:

Not that easy currently, either.

I find it very easy, just don't have it connected to the internet when installing. You then select offline account.

Assuming you're using something other than Windows Home edition (possibly). I would assume Microsoft wouldn't force this on businesses, but I see them trying to lead people down the path of the "Desktop as a Service" route and charging a routine fee.

Microsoft is likely seeing how this pans out and if there is an appetite to spend additional monies on something that has traditionally been a "non-seen cost" of the home PC.

Suicide instructions spliced into kids’ cartoons on YouTube and YouTube Kids

“Sideways for attention. Longways for results,” a man says in the middle of a cartoon.

The sinister content was first flagged by doctors on the pediatrician-run parenting blog pedimom.com and later reported by the Washington Post. An anonymous “physician mother” initially spotted the content while watching cartoons with her son on YouTube Kids as a distraction while he had a nosebleed. Four minutes and forty-five seconds into a video, the cartoon cut away to a clip of a man walking onto the screen and simulating cutting his wrist. “Remember, kids, sideways for attention, longways for results,” he says and then walks off screen. The video then quickly flips back to the cartoon.

Pedimom sounds like a website for pedophile mothers.

For something to compare this against, I liken this move to what Adobe did when it was originally released. Free for Colleges and course work and after however many years they confirmed people were locked into the software (didn't know anything else) and force people to open a subscription to use it.

There's a ton of money just sitting out there, waiting to be dumped into Desktop as a Service, but Microsoft has likely missed the true mark on this one, as the Linux community is pushing hard to make some extremely strong competition.

If and when gaming is Linux Ready for the blockbuster type games, I can see the Windows Desktop experience almost completely going away.

@beta said in RAID 6 in my backup VM host on spinning rust?:

@pete-s How much are two 3.84TB enterprise SSDs going to cost me again?

Many people likely wouldn't spend on the enterprise SSD drives, unless you needed verified compatibility.

As we don't know what the hardware is, you could likely use generic Datacenter SSDs from Samsung etc and get a ballpark price.

@dustinb3403
Sorry, I did not get my question clear.
I am using XCP-ng Hypervisor and hoping to get a backup solution combining backup with management. Any good advice?

Yes, xen orchestra like @Danp recommended.

Edit as I didn't add it last night you can use my github process to install the Open Source edition without having to do much of anything, follow this link.

@gjacobse said in Does a script imply Automation?:

Simply thus

Does a script imply automation?

No. Automation means doing a task for you. A script doesn't necessarily do anything for you.

I disagree here, in that a script written to replace the human process is automating the humans work flow. Just because the human kicks that process off doesn't mean that something hasn't been automated.

As @Pete-S said there are different levels of automation to consider...

Washington Governor signs bill to allow composting human bodies

Recompose is spearheading a greener green burial.
This week, Washington Governor Jay Inslee signed a bill to allow the composting of human remains within the state.

While I don't disagree with this, the entire idea of burials is also just weird, at least from a modern perspective of pumping people full of chemicals to preserve the body and then putting a really expensive box in the ground inside of another larger concrete box.
