that is definitely a great UI, very nice.

I just added 3 nodes cluster in 2 mins, very easy too.

Bumping up my capacity

Definitely worth more research.

Hi,

How do you check B2 Backup progress, I am using rclone check

Also, do you sync files or do you tar them first to save cost due to transaction calls? Then if you do this how you do you check that the Backups are good or you just the tar archive.

@scottalanmiller

Amazon is the shits, Lately we are getting weird IO hangs in our macro machines that costs 9 dollar month, they are doing bad stuff to their EC2, and I dont like there take on Centos with their AMI shit.

I cant belive I am telling you this but go use Vultr, even if the client wants amazon.

@fuznutz04 said in SaltStack - Viewing output:

For those of you who use SaltStack, What is your preferred method of viewing the output from your minions.

A simple example:

Let's say I want to check the disk space quickly on 100 servers, and then view the output in a readable format. What method do you use to do this? Eventually, I would like to build a simple web interface to view information/results from minions. But for now, if I would just want to do this through the CLI on the Master, and then view the results in a file, what would be the best way to accomplish this?

Usually the commands can have output support outside of saltstack, like systeminfo and exporting to csv, simply save it somewhere and thats it. Keep up posted on the web interface progress. Sounds like a good idea

@gjacobse said in Fedora: Support for Hauppauge?:

Well - unless it's in there some where,.. the Official support page for Hauppauge states that they Support Ubuntu - ... So, It would seemingly be that here is another device I am unable to run under Fedora...

Or - Is that true?

@scottalanmiller - Is there options for running the WinTV-HVR 950q USB TV Stick in Fedora - or am I looking at either;

• dual booting
• going Ubuntu only
• going back to Windows -

Whats wrong with Ubuntu, I rarely see the difference nowadays between Ubuntu and Fedora, both are great. And trust me there are no apps in Fedora that are not In Ubuntu actually it is the opposite

@scottalanmiller said in Why I Feel KVM Is the Easiest HyperVisor to Learn the Basics On:

much wide spread confusion exists around Hyper-V and to a lesser extent, ESXi products - primarily caused by their licensing. This aspect of them, which is their most complex piece, is the piece that nearly everyone completely overlooks when discussing comparative complexity.

Bingo!

Yes. KVM have matured alot especially when it comes to ease of install and OS bundling. and best of all does not tie or link with any additional crap.

But folks that can live without additional crap cause they are taught that you cant do Hypervisor without it this and this and that. For small and medium you only care about flexibility and licensing, and for backups simply backup the data within the VMs, you are not large enough to purchase all the storage for VM level BU

@WrCombs said in Windows 10 vs Windows 7:

everyone here hates Windows 10 like the plague, but I love it. To me, It's simple and easy to use.

I don't hate it, but the longer I've been a Windows user, I've become more interested in other options.

"The more you use Windows, the more you want to stop using Windows."

I dual booted Xubuntu recently, and wanted to full switch in light of new STEAM proton API, which is amazing it makes all games on steam for windows magically work on Linux, just make sure to download and choose latest BETA proton api.

The bad news, while the API works, and fixes the game. Most modern games come with proprietary anti-cheat engine, and that simply does not allow the game to play on multiplayer.

So I either need to change my games . or do Graphic card pass through which is too much of hassle even for tinkerer like me. However having said that I should stop wasting my time with games...

@scottalanmiller said in Windows 10 vs Windows 7:

That said, if your users really prefer Windows 7, likely this is interface related.

Consider getting a replacement shell for Windows 10 that makes it look like 7. Often that is all that they mean.

Or, if you have the flexibility, check out either Fedora with Cinnamon, or Mint Cinnamon for a Windows 7 like experience, but modern.

Classic Shell

Hi

I need something simple to test Linux storage and extra points if I can bench NFS shares

I tried iostat, but this command
iostat -d <your disk name> | grep <your disk name> | awk '{ print $2; }'

from
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/225095/how-to-get-total-read-and-total-write-iops-in-linux

gives you very different variated results, I ran it got
80
kept running it and those are results
79
78
77
76
continuous decrease till 70
reboot
then run and results starts from 448
then continuous decrease

I want something stable and works like GeekBench for CPU

@mlnews

About time Microsoft started to release those Updates that harms Windows 7 but not 10.
I expect this year will be the year of botched Windows 7 updates.

So I have VPS for LAMP and I want to optimize it to run on very low VPS like the 5$

I did the following extra steps

PHP-FPM
Memcached
CLoudFlare CDN caching everything

What else I can do ? to speed it up, any other tips and tricks ?

@scottalanmiller said in I hope Wiki.js does not fail:

@wrx7m both wiki.js and BookStack are nice. And in reality, DokuWiki isn't bad either. We use all three, in different situations.

I love MkDocs

@Pete-S

SaltStack, search it here or under my name alot of topics.

Why SS, best support for Windows.

What happens if you ping 192.168.1.40 ?

Why enp4s0 is not getting that IP ?

Did you give VM that IP ?

The centos KVM machine should have that IP = 192.168.1.40

That IP should be reserved in the FG firewall, how did you replace it ? and why ?

@gjacobse

ARe you mapping more than 1 map drive, or do you have annother network shared folder, cause Windows is limited to only 1 credentail for mapping, other than that you need to make script to map to close and clear credentails then map and even close explorer.exe
