And there is talk of them going away, too.

Because ML is getting more adds and doesn't need them?!

Huh?

I was hoping the placeholders were going away because MangoLassi is getting more adds to run and doesn't need placeholders anymore.

There is no association between the two. What are you talking about?

Ah, I was confused thinking those were ML adds, not SS /me #fail.

Can't help but point out that the author of the article doesn't know what "ironic" means.

Now I have to read it. LOL

Edit: It isn't ironic when TPM, which is created to be more secure than standard, is, in fact, less secure?

@coliver said in Student Loan Forgiveness Rant:

Of course now the Department of Education (which I'm not sure what authority they would have here) is saying they are under no obligation to respect the federal loan forgiveness program. Hopefully that will be ironed out by the time you need it.

In America, the government is under no obligation to anything.

It is a gamble that they won't end it before 10 years. I am still willing to take that gamble. The job still has better pay and retirement so it is still a win if they don't.

The flip side of this is they did change pension benefit programs in Houston and Dallas recently and Colorado I think allowed changing them retroactively.

@dustinb3403 said in dhclient preventing network.service from starting:

Disabled network manager and the issue appears to be resolved. @Romo thanks for the help.

After all these years, it's still a pain in the neck.

Last week I was onsite and uncovered a 100 Mb switch. The bonus was the 20 year old print controller hooked to it.

The media only labels someone a terrorist if they are of foreign nationality and of a specific religion. That's where my issue lies.

Your absolutely right about that

@jmoore said in Linux vulnerability found - effecting Debian and RedHat:

@stacksofplates Oh that is interesting, I didn't know that.

Ya it forces it to use the legacy mmap layout which isn't vulnerable. Once you are able to reboot then you should be able to remove it.

Well yes, but also looking for some 3rd party application upgrade options. IE adobe reader etc.

@dashrender said in The argument for official support vs third party support:

Same problem for the vendors. If you are dealing with unpatched spares, so are they. Having worked for some of the big ones, I know that their supply chains struggle to get parts, too. Heck, IBM couldn't deliver a server internally in more than six months, imagine how hard it is to get support parts!

Shit like this just blows my mind.

Parts Bins, internal supplies for labs, and customer supply chains are all completely different (well IBM may have been a gong show). Dell and HPE staff can't just go grab something off the line, with Mfg you have to account for the costs and someone gets to pay (and often at a premium to prevent abuse) for those internal servers.

Parts Bins and stocking those are different, and supply chain for a OEM might actually be different in the us than EMEA.

At IBM< we were an external customer, even though we were inside IBM. We showed up just like any external enterprise customer. So their inability to support was universal.

Like this...

@minion-queen said in In Other News - iPhone 8 has earpiece issues:

I can't imagine having that not work. I use it constantly (though I have broken I think like 6 pairs of the ear buds).

I generally just have my ear buds get into a massive knot and then I throw them out in a rage.

Well sure, but earbuds suck. Get some damn headphones.

Yeah it's not something we care for, as there are to many nuances for a system that has no tie in to what we need

Before you can get in to what OS to run the clients on, do you have to ask what apps the business needs to run? If they need some kind of CAD package and it's only offered on Windows, the linux client goes out the window. (pun intended)

It is really a fantastic piece of software. It blows many of the other options out of the water for a fraction of the price.

If you're awake, it's not too early 😉

You can also no longer place calls from it. That is now a feature request.

You can also check dd_rescue

Was the Eqifax breech because of the march strus flaw or a more recent one?

Just making sure the actual facts are known.

The one from March.

@tim_g said in UrBackup vs Veeam:

I don't think urbackup supports hyperv vss for backing up VMs without downtime. You will need to back up VMs from inside them, as if they are a physical server.

So if you want to back up VMs at the host level, which is a major benefit of virtualization, then you are stuck using a non open source backup solution. If you want free, then you will just have to use the built in Windows Server Backup or hope you are within the limits of the free stuff like Unitrends.

If you have the time to figure out how to get AMANDA to use hyperv vss for example, do share!

Right, it's simple agent only.
