After over 6 straight years of actual larger-Enterprise (heavy Windows/Linux infrastructure) experience and 3 intense years of practice and self-study, I finally made MCSE: Server Infrastructure (2012 R2).

My real (relevant) experience hadn't started in a business environment until closer to 2004, but it has been a goal of mine since then.
It just feels good to have finally reached that goal in a good way.
My wife is becoming a U.S. citizen today. As well as everyone else on the bottom floor. People still coming in.
Some entertainment on the stage while everyone waits for the Oath Ceremony to begin.
I posted a guide on my blog about setting up a Fedora 26 KVM / QEMU hypervisor that uses the Kimchi-project for remote virtualization management, which includes a working web-based VM console.
Here's the link: https://www.timothygruber.com/linux/fedora-26-kvm-html5-remote-access-with-web-console-via-kimchi-part-1/
I hope it helps anyone who needs it as much as it would have helped me had I came across it a long time ago.
It's easy to create on my blog because I can copy/paste images into the editor... it's like working inside of MS Word.
I was thinking of recreating it on here for ML, but not sure if it's worth it or not, as well as the chance of hurting SEO.
Should I take the time to do it and just change the wording a bit?

I know y'all are concerned... Snapchat just went down.
Nope, the whole Snapchat company could disband and I'd never even know it (until you post about it).

Ordered 2 ssd from newegg. They show up in 2 8"x4"x3" boxes which are packaged inside a 24"x18"x4" box. And lots of those airbag things.
Literally could have fit hundreds of ssd in this packaging.
Now if one doesn't work, you need to ship it back inside of a refrigerator box...

He wants something "more serious looking" what does that even mean?
I have had great experience with these:
That VMQ thing can be an issue on 1 GB NICs with out-dated firmware/drivers. The info of affected drivers and NICs and the resolution can be found here:
This is a good write-up and how to resolve it. Or you can just run firmware and driver updates.
VMQ should be disabled on 1 GB NICs. The issue with the broadcoms is that it's enabled by default, and shouldn't be.

@pete-s said in beyond bash shell scripting, what language should I use:
There is no general answer to your question.
There is. Just because you cannot see it doesn't mean it does not exist.
Each person's answer of a language is a general answer. Their reason for the recommendation allows me to see if it fits my need and skill and desire.
It might be an excuse to give Golang a whirl.

Where is everyone searching for quality IT job postings these days?
Word of mouth. I've never gotten a good job from a random posting.
I suppose the correct answer to myself is a wide net of every combination, including word of mouth, job posting sites like Indeed, Monster, etc, direct job postings on the website of the company, LinkedIn, etc.
I managed to get my first IT job using my state's job network website. I got a call-back from HR and had some awesome back and forth and landed a great gig. My friend and past co-worker got an amazing job from a head-hunter on LinkedIn. Another friend got a job from a company website post...
The last several good jobs I was either offered or have started were directly from LinkedIn, and some of them are $300K to $500K jobs.
How much of that salary is cause of location?
It depends on scale. You won't see that outside the US, not even close. With-in the US, fully remote, and depending on the company, an extremely small percentage if any.

Update in 2022... The job market is still as hot as it was last year, and it's still your fault for being with a shitty employer.
I see more fully remote jobs available now than ever.

Plus I'm really trying to get away from local AD.
What's that have to do with MDT?
Perhaps nothing, though I've never heard of anyone using MDT outside of AD
It's used all the time without AD.

Has anyone noticed an uptick in Windows10 auto upgrading to Windows11 due to windows updates?
Seeing this with many Back office PC's where they "leave at the end of the night and it's windows10 and the come back and it's windows 11"Just curious if were the only one's seeing this
Windows 10 will never automatically upgrade to Windows 11 without user action and consent by default.
@gjacobse said in Dreaded Windows Recovery:
Just over a week ago I let my older laptop install updates - and now - the dreaded Windows Recovery screen is all I see.
I've backed out Quality and Features with no success. There are no System Restore Points and even trying to Reset all fail.
While I am able to recover my data - before I go and kill it, I wanted to ensure that I hadn't missed anything on trying to recover what I have...
BIOS is up to date, same version as was installed, and no new hardware has been installed.
Is this a lost cause - and best to just duck my head and re-install, or just migrate this poor soul to Ubuntu.
You should also check the health of the drive in the system. For example, if it's a Samsung SSD, run Samsung Magician to verify the drive is still in good health. A drive going bad can corrupt a Windows install and updates or something similar can be disk intensive enough to make it noticeable.
Installing Linux on an otherwise failed or failing drive can be brewing storm. So I'd still check the drive first before doing that.
On Linux (Raspberry Pi OS), is it possible to reset a USB connection as if you unplugged it and plugged it back in? Is there an easy command to do it for a given USB device?
@scottalanmiller said in What Are You Doing Right Now:
We just had a 6.2 earthquake happen right on top of us. Like RIGHT under the building. We were the epicenter. It was crazy. I've been in a LOT of quakes, but this was the biggest and closest every. It was nuts. We had to pull everyone from the water and there is minor building damage, as expected.
Oh no, I hope everything works out!
How long did it last?

Happy New Year -
Yes, I am interested in your procedure when you get time. Looks like we are using Windows Business - but I don't expect the procedure building being different.I'm also curious how you built the ISO with XML profile.
TIA
Before you sysprep to create the ISO, use the PowerShell module to download your autopilot config, then put it here: C:\Windows\Provisioning\AutoPilot\AutoPilotConfigurationFile.json
I didn't have time yet on the PC to get the procedure I created and likely won't until tomorrow or the next, but here is a MS link for some breadcrumbs in the meantime, regarding creating the Autopilot profile, then downloading the json. Sorry, json, I said xml before I think:
