Fedora 38 released a few days ago. Debating a clean install on my desktop instead of an upgrade.

I've tinkered with so much crap, I just want to start clean.

My dad installed it on release day and I got it up the day after. So far so good.

I can upgrade right now.. but I want a clean system.
but i was also lazy about organizing my dot files of some applications I want settings saved for..

Only myself to blame. I guess upgrade it is today.

Did you make /home a separate mount point? If so, just formant and install on the current root.

No, but I had a separate mount point for documents and some things...

@Skyetel is still awesome..

@kyari said in What are you using to open HEIC files?:

HEIC/HEVC file codec: 9n4wgh0z6vhq

This package is no longer available. I tried it a couple weeks ago. Apparently it still worked last year.

I never customized my settings or anything. Since ti is mostly just for the 5 of us.

Does the NodeBB dashboard show bot views?

My campaign board is consistently showing them.

UniFi gear is generally still available, with no issues.

The UniFi Controller is a hot pile of shit compared to how it used to be (IMO), but not a horrible solution.

The real failure of the UniFi controller is simply the use case of not sharing the super admin password.

In reading through the UI forums, specifically this gentlemen's post, it does not look promising.

https://community.ui.com/questions/Edgemax-availability-update/ce4d56ad-5e22-424e-90fb-473b671e5438#answer/b274b1b2-5c4b-4cc1-b361-85ca148d6ed7

UniFi and EdgeMax are completely different things and always have been.

In the spirit of the exception to prove the rule, the first USG was just a ERL with different firmware/OS. But again, the exception.

Pretty sure that this belongs in the "I Can't Even" thread...

Most Google decisions belong in the i can't even thread.

I was looking at the Omada line recently too. I still have not found a direct replacement for the EdgeRouter lineup. Which is a real shame, because they are such great devices. Then I found Omada on a blog somewhere but haven't pulled the trigger on getting a unit to try. I might have to though, as I have been waiting for an EdgeRouter 4 for over a year or more.

I don't have a good replacement for the EdgeRouter line either.

The Omada/TP_Link switches and wifi are fine replacements for Ubiquiti gear.

but server side Java is where java supposed to be. It is not like a desktop app requiring java.

@CCWTech said in Is it legal? Windows 10 or 11 as a server:

@Obsolesce Yeah, it's pretty clear to us. We shared a link to this post with the client so hopefully he sees this. We shared the same info with him but he keeps trying to interperet it in a way that supports his opinion, even though it's extreemly clearly written.

FFS this is not new. Tell your "client" that you will be happy to report them to Microsoft.

I put client in quotes because they are acting as their own IT. Why are they bothering to hire you.

Report them to the BSA

Still works on Fedora 37....

Server was slow all day.. checked things no errors. Checked iDRAC, no errors in RAID array.. /shrug

Arrived on site just after 6pm, ran updates on the hypervisor and rebooted.

server did not come online....

Fuck.. Went into server room, 3 of 6 drives offline.

Thank god for OBR10..... All three disks were part of a different span (mirror).

Rebooted server and continued past the controller warning to get hte server online.

Waiting for the host to get stable with the degraded array and slotted one drive back in. It spun up and auto rebuild kicked in. Waited 10 minutes between drives and did the other 2 also.

Now waiting for the rebuild to finish.

@stacksofplates said in Beelink PC issues:

I've bought a couple of the micro form factor Optiplex computers (9020) and have been happy with them. You couldn't have saved too much by buying something like this I can't imagine? I think I paid $250 for the last one and it came with 8GB RAM, an i7, and a 250GB SSD.

This? Yeah, it does not compare, except price.

@hubtechagain This I assume?
