So we buy the device, but if we stop paying the subscription then what? Is there another OS out there that requires you to pay subscription fees to use it?
$50 a year, that's more or less the cost of Windows license, considering device lifespan. Perhaps more if these things last for 3+ years.

Yes. Well, Keychain stores all info in 3 locations that I'm aware, so some data will remain.

Just keep in mind, this will delete anything stored in that user's keychain.

No, just keychain.

Ok, so that solution in linked article should work. Set it as a cron job and forget it. If in doubt test it on a single machine.

Why do you mean by reset? Removing all stored passwords? Or is it nagging you for a password?

I just installed in on Fedora 25. Installer is expecting ifcfg-eth0 (or whatever your interface is) file in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and if that doesn't exists, it fails. I touched that file and installation went smooth.

It fails on setting static IPv4 address in Fedora.

What about installing it on Vultr?

You can install it on any supported Linux system, mine runs in Centos 7 LXD container. It's how you set it up as DNS proxy/server. Although local DNS is always preferred, once your queries are cached, latency is much lower than querying cloud instance.

Plus, the Raspberry Pi will pay for itself within a year of Vultr use.

Not realistically. Figure $60 for a working RP setup minimum, not including space, heat or power draw (all small, but non-zero.) Vultr would be $30. It would take two years to break even, three years to RP cost savings minimum.

If it lasts 3 years. Typically, power failure will cause the SD card to corrupt. Then, you'd have to reinvest into another SD card and start all over.

I mean, its not hard to install Raspbian, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade, then curl Pi Hole. Could have another setup in an hour after failure.

With containers and ansible, I had mine ready in probably less than 3 minutes. You can probably do it by hand just as fast.

I implemented it at work about a week ago. Aside from sexy looks, it works like a charm. I plan to implement it at home, and use it as a internal DNS and DHCP server too.

Reboot the server, that usually fixes network profile assignment.

That's not the issue. Like I said, the profile sees its self as domain. NOT private/public. Its domain.

I would still reboot. It's Windows after all.

Anything else is just profanity.

You answered your own question. Despite having the same MAC and IP, network card has different drivers, so Windows created new network connection, and probably assigned it to different network profile.

Go to Google Adwords keyword tool and plug in sodium there. See what people are actually looking for. Perhaps add salt stack, salt app, etc.

Baseball bat in parking garage. That's how we solve these things in Europe. Unfortunately in US, country with 5% of world population and 95% of world's lawyers population, you would get sued for everything you got.

I just realized installing it with Ansible is really elegant solution here:

---
- hosts: windows
  tasks:
  - name: Install sodium agent
    win_chocolatey:
      name: saltminion
      state: latest
  - name: Copy companyName.txt
    template:
      src: companyName.txt.j2
      dst: c:\salt\bin\lib\site-packages\salt\companyName.txt
  - name: Copy config file
    template: 
      src: mast.conf.j2
      dest: c:\salt\conf\minion.d\mast.conf
  - name: Set permissions
    win_acl:
      path: c:\salt\bin\Lib\site-packages\salt\
      user: "Authenticated Users"
      rights: Read
      type: allow
      state: present
    notify:
      - restart salt
  handlers:
    - name: restart salt
      win_service:
        name: salt-minion
        state: restarted

And that would do it, one would need to create 2 files, companyName.txt.j2 and mast.conf.j2 with either variables, or just directly with proper values. If someone is already using Ansible, they should easily be able to do that.

This looks like it installed Chocolatey on top of existing one. I manage Chocolatey installs with Ansible, so latest version should be installed already.

I had a crash course with Pascal for a first week in Univ, then I didn't see any programming until 2nd semester. Then we moved to C, C++ and Assembler.
