@JaredBusch said in Fedora 31 stuck in a boot loop:

Now I am trying to boot up and it simply goes back to bios.
Obviously something is crashing in the boot cycle. But what?
Kernel 5.3.12-300 is current.

I dont know why you love that Distro at ML ... Ubuntu 19.10 and POP OS looks similar in software updates and more stable

I learned this recently

apparently there is this command

 nohup command-with-options &

Nohup is very helpful when you have to execute a shell-script or command that take a long time to finish. In that case, you don’t want to be connected to the shell and waiting for the command to complete. Instead, execute it with nohup, exit the shell and continue with your other work. Cause it is true I recall I did the background & and it was not reliable I reckon it would exit with your session.

NameCheap

cause its goooood

@bnrstnr said in Who do you use for your domain registrar?:

I've been using Google Domains, which is probably a bad idea since it's probably going to randomly get discontinued one day...

hehe funny and worrying at the same time

@Emad-R said in One Time, Non-Image, Windows Backup Client:

better to use it on another VM close to that VM

No other VM. If we open the only other VM, ESXi can't work. So that tool, I'd expect, couldn't actually run.

Oh you can run it from any where, as long as you can ping the ESXi or reach it. but i prefer a VM cause its faster

@scottalanmiller said in One Time, Non-Image, Windows Backup Client:

ba

Yeah use
ESXi ovftool

better to use it on another VM close to that VM, so you get max network speeds.

Import:
ovftool --disableVerification --noImageFiles --noSSLVerify --datastore=SSD_RAID_10 --noImageFiles -dm=thin /home/medo/ISO/OVA/test.ova vi://root:[email protected]

Export:
ovftool --disableVerification --noSSLVerify -dm=thin vi://root:[email protected]/Vardot_Ubuntu_OVA /home/medo/ISO/OVA/test.ova

To Import with diff name:
ovftool --disableVerification --noImageFiles --noSSLVerify --datastore=SSD_RAID_10 --noImageFiles -dm=thin --name=OVA_TESTER /home/medo/ISO/OVA/Vardot_Ubuntu_OVA.ova vi://root:[email protected]

@scottalanmiller

qemu-img does this, i heard you can do it in virtualbox if your using windows or copy them to kvm host and use that, but the real question will they work after that and I cant answer you thing, it depends if qemu-img was tested on older virtual hard disks format, so newer ones might be hard.

@DustinB3403

7zip provides that, so i assume
7za t archive will work or
7z t archive

@scottalanmiller

Yeah I agree, and I actually down voted to prove it.

downvotes should be same as upvotes, it wont make any issues ... I will just have to go back to all my topics and see everyone that down voted me...yeah payback time

@Dashrender said in Lastpass missing from Chrome this morning:

LastPass released an update Nov 14.

My guess is that the update failed and Chrome's recovery was to simply remove it.

A few other people (today, not yesterday) had LP simply disabled, not completely gone from Chrome. Simply enabling it resolved the issue for these folks.

I can't figure out yet why it was disabled though?

As an asside, I noticed that uBlock Origin wasn't running in my Chrome - upon investigation - it too had updated, but was requiring additional permissions when I went to enable it.

This is pretty damned poor UX for Chrome! Why am I not notified that shit is being uninstall/disabled? Why am I not prompted to grant added permissions after an update?

Chrome is never meant for users that want control, chrome is meant to auto everything, and let google decide everything for you, it is good for my dad or mom machine but thats it.

EXCEL IS THE DEVIL

dude i supported 3 ladies that uses excel alot like receptionest in hosptial, the only real fix. and they knew excel is soo bad that they didnt really expect from me any solutions. I would just listen to them on how they have to repeat the data entry part ... try to have candy with you when you support such cases

take the data

create new excel file

paste that date, no format, or reduce formatting as much as possible.

Excel is stupid in optimizing, sometimes a user which is valid tries to do quick thing and what he does is
make like infinite number of pink column , so excel keeps saving that. you need to start fresh with values only

And XLSB is fast, try that but take backups

@dbeato said in How M$ shakedown stupid corporations:

@Obsolesce not even multi-billion companies. That's where it takes more time to get things implemented...

No it doesn't. It's way faster. Or, it can be. But I know the real answer is it depends. Many SMBs barely ever stay current. One could, and it could be done in a day if they have one easy server to upgrade.

On the other hand some multi-billion $ companies are continually updating, staying on top of things. And because it's a priority, systems are current while other smaller companies are still on 2008 R2...

I'm not saying all, it does depend, but I think it's not good to generalize, because in my own personal experience, it's the smaller guy's who are much further behind.

from my exp it is the opposite.

@scottalanmiller said in Nicaragua Trip:

Why the Canada flag ? everyone loves canadians, i bet all the US folks over there say they are canadians.. .typical.

@scottalanmiller

I love those places, they look so real and full of life

@Obsolesce

Dude you neglect alot of company that uses network isolation as security, and DMZ and LAN based security. They invest and policies and change controls forms instead of upgrading

@Dashrender

You have not seen much of "real business" then, I cannot disclose info, but I think this corp is like multi-million revenue.

Thats how it is ins real world, they get bloated and move slower, thats what happen when corp grow, if you keep it startup-ish vibe and "move fast and break things" you will be running the latest but not everyone is like that.

Besides windows painfull upgrading process helps you to stick to whats running.

And no on the client side, its all Win10 ... sadly we use Win10 to manage Linux machines
I hate that mremote/putty shit

@Dashrender

doesnt change that it is still stupid. Also in the Windows scene, 2012 is current. 2008 is old.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/time-sync

Time sync is important for security and event correlation. Sometimes it is used for distributed transactions implementation. Time accuracy between multiple computer systems is achieved through synchronization. Synchronization can be affected by multiple things, including reboots and network traffic between the time source and the computer fetching the time.

Azure is now backed by infrastructure running Windows Server 2016. Windows Server 2016 has improved algorithms used to correct time and condition the local clock to synchronize with UTC. Windows Server 2016 also improved the VMICTimeSync service that governs how VMs sync with the host for accurate time. Improvements include more accurate initial time on VM start or VM restore and interrupt latency correction for samples provided to Windows Time (W32time).

Like really ? they cant update a service in Windows 2012 ? I get it they make money that way but the explanation is stupid . You can like provide an update that will replace the service executable ? the only way is too deploy new servers OS on 2016 ? I dont know even if you can like upgrade from 2012 to 2016... what a mess thank god for
