My best recipe is while your young work for companies for 2-4 years and then dump them.
Yup, when you feel that work is repetitive and you mastered it that is time to go.

Shuffle many companies and with each jump try to earn more and understand what you want from the position and what you can give.

I learned a ton shuffling my ass to like 4 companies, and I think it is big plus. Especially if you get recommendations and not like Fired.

Warning you may suffer alot of stress using this way, but your young you should be able to recover.

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

Yep don't see any issue with using XO..it has a clean interface.
even installing XO after XCP-NG is quicker than setting up Hyper-V outside of a domain.

Lack of Linux support, and purely community-driven project.

Well but Linux is a community-driven project.. oh shut the fkup conflicting internal voice.

@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

@DustinB3403

As far as I know the max they can go to if you are using an invalid license is to limit you from creating new VMs, but existing ones will run fine.

@Pete-S

Aptiod is a good start but made for personal usage.

but If I were you I would unify my smart phones, install google play on mine and export APKs and put them on shared location, cause you only need like a couple of them.

That said Google has good AV security feature and you dont want to put something that can install apps and handing it over without securing it.

Oh I recall I installed all phones with 1 account, it was nice to track stolen phone but contacts synced on all phones and bite me back in the

Just let the mother nature deal with everything man, and come in the next day and power things up. IT is already full of stress so no need to carry extra worries man

@Donahue said in Where do I start with replacing the whole MS AD stack:

sing reservations.

I think your knowledge of FG is not allowing you to do this, just create a new interface with the desired subnet and leave or tick DHCP option. And they you can do it what you want with it. Create an IPv4 policy to give access to internet to the new interface.

@Obsolesce said in Microsoft is Replacing Edge with Chrome's Blink Engine:

Microsoft is in the early stages of a project, codenamed “Anaheim”, that is currently slated to replace Microsoft Edge for Windows 10. Instead of continuing to use the company’s EdgeHTML engine, Anaheim will reportedly be built upon Chrome’s open source Blink engine.

@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

@gjacobse

Happened here while working on Pi - full screen takes only the half screen but horizontally.

Anyway on an seperate note If you have 8 GB of RAM you cant use Chrome anymore. on Linux it is insane Chrome eats 6.9 GB out of my 8 GB and when I close chrome i see htop giving me 500 MB used ram out of 8. Switched to FF, and it is more sane RAM usage and that peaks on ~5GB

The protocol that has more features than my mom

Check shhuttle,
https://sshuttle.readthedocs.io/en/stable/

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sshuttle
sshuttle -r vpn@SERVER_IP_WITH_SSH_PORT_OPEN_AND _PYTHON-x SAME_SERVER_IP 0/0 -v

sshuttle -r [email protected] 5.5.5.5 0/0 -v
you can test this first logging into that server
ssh [email protected]

You can also play with the SSH port, but dont think that this will support many users or be enterprise, it is simple hack. that can be usefull when they block all the big VPN names

@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

@JaredBusch

For me this works and it is simple and not tied to anything but single Linux VM machine:

https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/ref/states/all/salt.states.win_lgpo.html

You dont even need to backup the VM, just remeber its IP cause if it fails, recreate a new one and it will receive requests on the same IP, you can make setting to auto accept keys and back it will accept all those clients and you can start controlling them again.

@scottalanmiller

I will do some calculations and get back to you on that one.

Why not move them, well Business, shared hosting is cheaper with plenty of resources like disk space. and things are already like this.

Not really. That's only cheaper when you are so small as to not have any IaaS at all. Even NTG is big enough on internal web sites to have shared hosting be more expensive.

@black3dynamite said in Orchestrate and control many web sites:

I'm curious, do you have an example of a PAAS that SaltStack might not work well or at all?

There's no system in which to install the Salt-Minion client I'm guessing.

Does the PAAS instances give SSH access?

Platform.sh

So let me hear your thoughts about this

I have this project to manage and control many web servers.

Some are hosted on PAAS some on IAAS and some on Shared hosting, thus having SSH access is hit or miss, and sometimes SSH access is jailed.

How can I play to manage them all, I was thinking of something like SaltStack but that will only work for IAAS hosing like Digital Ocean.

Why not move them, well Business, shared hosting is cheaper with plenty of resources like disk space. and things are already like this.

So back to the question and can I have User Interface, or I am dreaming

@WLS-ITGuy said in Do you ask for permission...:

I guess this question can apply to the MSPs that may be here as well.

Do you always ask for permission to take a server down? Or do you give them a time frame that it will be down? Or do you just reboot at your leisure?

Lately, any time I give anyone warning that at a certain time I will be rebooting a server I get push back. I have become "that guy" and just reboot whenever the F I want now.

Anyone else?

Depends on the client, some client wants you to take care of everything and will not care, some wants reason for everything. Try to identify early on which and which and treat accordingly, however it is best to play safe even if that means staying late and waiting for approvals

@black3dynamite said in file sharing in the 21st century:

We mainly use NC as a replacement for folder redirection w/ offline at work and its been working great. Each users root folders like Desktop and Documents are moved into the Nextcloud directory and then use symbolic link (junction points) to point to each folder in the Nextcloud directory.

Noice, so you make Junction point on (C:)\Users\Username or only on Desktop and Documents and stuff like that.

What if that fucker starting to save files on the (D:) and gave you a D or you dont make any other partition
