Are you not using the PI-Hole with the porn block list added to it like you posted about here on Mangolassi awhile back?

That is what I am doing, yes.

I was using Strongarm DNS though until they removed the home service.

@jaredbusch out of curiousity how did you go about learning everything you know in linux? A mix of books/documentation/homelab? Any recommendations book-wise if that's something you've done?

WTF, I jsut know everything. FFS, get with the program.

Seriously, I do not book learn well. I learn by tinkering. So I learned by breaking shit. Repeatedly.

It costs a large amount of time to learn things this way. But it is what I do. Book learning generally is no different for most. It all takes time.

@jaredbusch said in How to change your user folder locations with Cinnamon or Gnome 3:

As someone upvoted this post recently, I thought I would circle back. I am using simlinks in all my Fedora systems now.

This just never worked exactly as advertised. It mostly worked, but never completely.

I also use symbolic link with Linux and Windows too. For Windows, it keeps me from messing with the default user shell folders / shell folders path or the need to move the locations. And with Linux, I don't have to mess with the user-dirs.dirs file.

Any further updates here?

What is the "cleanest" method available so vm's can "talk" to the host?

I ended up just staying on macvtap. I never did any further troubleshooting.

I only use this Windows 10 VM for occasional power email sessions in Outlook when organizing 5 accounts worth of email. Usually once a week.

You'll get better performance if you install the VirtIO drivers and use that instead of rtl8139. Whether you will notice it or not for that VM, idk.

Really I meant less it's ohysical look and more your impression of its value and potential 🙂

@black3dynamite said in How to Install Fedora 25 Minimal:

Unlike installing Linux Integration Services, Hot-Add support is not enabled by default after installing hyperv-daemons.

Create a file /etc/udev/rules.d/100-balloon.rules. You may use any other desired name for the file.

Add the following content to the file: SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="add", ATTR{state}="online"

Reboot the system to enable Hot-Add support.

See Note 8 on Supported CentOS and Red Hat Enterprise Linux virtual machines on Hyper-V

You mean for dynamic memory to work?

Yes, dynamic memory for ballooning and hot-add.

So coming back to this (because I was setting some more stuff up), it seems that Windows DHCP Server does understand the RFC, that is why it actually sees and uses the entire machine ID sent by default.

It is other devices like my EdgeRouters that I have to use the MAC address.

The only problem with the machine ID scheme is that I have no idea what it is before the machine is created.

Granted this is mostly my problem because I always use DHCP reservations instead of static IP addresses (evil fucking things, those).

I continue to force the new systems to use the hardware ID, because I want to only track the MAC address hex info.

@syko24 said in ZeroTier client 1.2.2 is out:

@JaredBusch - Would be similar to the way ScreenConnect updates.

ScreenConnect only updates when I tell it to.

Correct, I just meant that the update does not require the user to have admin permissions to push that update. Would be nice if Zerotier offered a similar feature.

Updated the web.config for my ScreenConnect and now all is right in the world.

@FATeknollogee said in Need to run Windows on Korora:

What are the available choices for Type 1 & 2?

KVM is Type 1. Its built in. VirtualBox is Type 2 and also built in. Those are the only realistic options.

Moved Telegram folder to /opt and then edited (created) /usr/share/applications/Telegram.desktop

[Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=Telegram Exec=/opt/Telegram/Telegram Icon=/opt/Telegram/telegram128.png Type=Application Categories=Network;

I had to go download telegram128.png separately. Also annoying.
Google gave me this site to get it. http://deshack.net/install-telegram-for-linux-as-an-application/

right click and save if you want it yourself.

You can just change the default font in Firefox. Will that do what you need?

I know this is out of the scope of your question, but is this drone being used for business purposes? That might be out of regulations with the FAA. Just FYI.

Don't know if you care, but I don't care whether you care or not. So there, you go.

@coliver Not as far fetched as it seems. Biggest issues are the security of remote links.

For anyone not familiar, here is a screenshot of my free version.

here is a paid version at a client with ~40 extensions.
(intentionally not all are shown such as the Snom PA-1 paging adapter, because I know someone will count....)

@NetworkNerd said in SpiceWorld Austin 2017 Sessions up for vote:

They say pick your top 15. I was thinking there were more than 15 sessions on the Spiceworld agenda last year. But then again, some sessions were repeated.

There are many sessions that are not open for picking. Like all of the SW run sessions, for example. Or the keynote and stuff like that.

@jaredbusch said in How Does Fedora 25 Split Large Filesystems:

If you type some large number in the box for the / partition and then click the update button, it auto sizes to max.

Yeah, that's how I got it to say 144.84. If I did it myself, it'd be a nice round number.

@JaredBusch said in Korora - what do you do with the desktop experience:

Looks like I have KDE.

I did not actually pick one. I simply clicked download, so I randomly got KDE.

Now to switch to Cinnamon.

Oh. I respect the KDE team a lot but I've not been comfortable with their desktop post version 3. It's solid and loaded with features but the Plasma stuff is weird and not intuitive. If you go "power user" on it I'm sure it's great. But for me, I left it as I'm a more casual style desktop user and it just didn't fit with me.

I think that they decided that the market was full and that they needed to really innovate to be relevant, which they did. It's interesting and someday I hope to have time to dig into it more.

Ya I don't see the use of the plasma workspaces. I use the traditional workspaces a ton in Gnome 3, but I don't see the value to what plasma does with them. I tried having a separate "business" vs "personal" workspace a while ago and just couldn't wrap my head around the use case.

Same here. The old style desktops I used and liked. Plasma I just can't figure out.

Cool, Irrelevant tech.

Hardly relevant, there are a lot of these systems out there and they need to be serviced and replaced.

Fixed.

No, as shown by @Dashrender The other day the song cost of an existing system can still outweigh the cost of replacement

Song cost, eh? 😛

Yes, the Sunk cost for me saved me about $12K over upgrading to FreePBX.

Well you've heard the impression "he got it for a song", right?
