    • RE: How MangoLassi Came To Be

      For the record, at 10:30 in the video you talk about the original RoIT site failing. It was never released to the public as such, we played around with the idea of it for a while but setting up a non-profit entity and all that's involved in that was way more work and money than we'd originally thought. We decided not to go forward with the project since but I don't think that really counts as failing. I'm glad someone pointed to the WBM link, I had forgotten that we'd made the domain name into a rick roll, that made me smile. 😄

      Afraid it is all internal 😉

      So you are just teasing us then? Seems fair!

      Not knocking it, just interested. I've only had a quick look through some of the threads and have seen a lot of 'points' based on funny answers and such. I'm interested to see how that plays out as the site grows.

      So, what's with the name? Why name an IT website after an Indian fruity drink?

      Cute, easy to remember, neutral. And there is a hidden pun in there somewhere too. I imagine that it being a popular drink to cool down after eating spicy food has nothing to do with it.

      And helps to counteract the butthurt that comes with it I guess?

    • RE: Why Microsoft Wants You to Think Windows 7 Can't Be Upgraded

      Windows 10 as a service is already a thing for enterprise and it seems like recent consumer versions have been leaning more that way as well. Everyone's getting on the Netflix / gym membership subscription model these days. I'm not a fan but I get it. 😞

      Can you set the chocolatey program to use a specific network share for the repository, instead of connecting to the same website on every machine? This would be really useful on networks behind firewalls with no internet access or really poor internet connectivity.

      That's something that I would have to research. But I would be surprised if you can't. Although you can definitely use a proxy to do that.

      You can set up a proxy to take requests for files from a website and pull them from a file share instead?

      Can you use chocolaty in a workgroup environment where there is a standard local user & common password?

      Chocolatey doesn't use AD. It just needs local admin privileges. Any admin account can be used.

      So do you have to be logged in with the same account on the machine you are pushing the updates from / running the remote command from (source) as is used on the machine you are updating (target)? Or can you specify in the update command on your source machine what credentials to use on the target machine(s)?

    • RE: Ninite Alternative

      Would it be possible to get Chocolatey to output it's results to a log file or somehow report on the progress / result of the update / install? It would be good to know for sure what programs got updated, or more importantly if any of the updates failed.
