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.
Happy holidays all!
Jupiter
Christmas night, 2022-12-25.
Alt: 38°
Less than ideal seeing conditions and lots of light pollution, but was still able to bring out some detail!
Jupiter was 456,134,146 miles from earth when I took the photo. It took almost 41 minutes for light to travel from Jupiter to my camera. Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun, has 80 moons, and is large enough to fit about 1,300 Earths inside.
Setup:
5" SCT + 2x Barlow, ASI224MC @ ~2500mm f/20
iOptron mount, tracking: mount-only
FireCapture, shutter 13ms / gain 221 / histogram ~64%
20% best of 4k light frames
AS!3 + RegiStax6
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...

I have had great experience with these:
@CCWTech said in Is it legal? Windows 10 or 11 as a server:
Use case:
Small veterinary office with less than 10 computers, about 7 employees.Software is AVImark. A veterinary records managment program. It requires a shared network path and also to run Guardian (a service that runs on the server in order to make the program work.).
Is Windows 10 / 11 legal to use as a server in this case? (The software vendor AVImark) says it is.
No, you cannot. AVImark is incorrect.

@scottalanmiller said in Windows 2022 Disk Defrag Freezing System:
Nearly new, very vanilla, Windows Server 2022 system with a recurring freezing issue. The system would drop network connections and even the console was unresponsive. Been troubleshooting for the last few weeks.
Finally had a chance to be on the console at the time that the freeze happened and it was super sluggish, but not entirely frozen. We managed to get Task Manager open and were able to see that the Disk Defragmenter taking all available RAM and slamming the disks.
My default in Windows Server 2022, disk defrag is set to run every week. This likely makes little sense if you have SSD, NVMe, or are virtualized. We disabled that and stopped the current run and things returned to normal. All is well now from what we can tell.
You should never Defrag SSDs except for very specific reasons.
Id run a SSD health check on the SSDs themself to see if there are any issues.
@scottalanmiller said in MDM for Windows and Mobile Devices | Mobile Device Management?:
I've got a customer that needs MDM that is able to lock down devices to the point of controlling what websites that they can visit. It's a small user pool, just two corporate devices that will be off network, but we'd like a lot of control on these devices. They are for singular purpose, essentially.
The company has a number of mobile devices that are less important but they'd like MDM for them as well.
Ideally a single solution that allows us to manage everything off network in a single pane of glass is ideal. What options do people know and/or recommend for something like this?
Any idea about the devices? Those are some pretty strict lockdown requirements and may require more than just MDM (MDM + excess custom work) for those devices.
If single purpose devices, maybe a kiosk type of deployment would make more sense, limiting use to only a few single apps?
Any other info?
You typically don't get deep level compliance and controls in a simple single pane of glass.
For the devices that are less important, same questions for those.
If the Linux ecosystem, there's also some options.
Some solutions may be great for some devices, but terrible for others. More info is needed.
@scottalanmiller said in What Are You Doing Right Now:
KVM is made by IBM at about $63bn USD. VMware is made by Broadcom at about $21bn USD.
If IBM and Broadcom are $63bn and $21bn respectively, Microsoft is $200bn, wouldn't that (Hyper-V) be the one to use then?

@scottalanmiller said in Can the target of a One Drive link be changed ?:
I don't know any platform like that that has built in editors to modify the files that are in the storage
OneDrive does let you edit files directly, in the storage.
How were you able to bring up the editor? Did you just click on file name? When I do that on a url link file it just takes me to the file that the link is pointing to. I can then edit that target file. In my case it brings up an image editor since the target is a .png file. I can't seem to find a way to edit the text of the url link file itself without downloading it first.
I just clicked on the file.
However, if you really think about it, you want exactly the behavior you are seeing. Imagine if clicking on the .url file it brought up the editor for users instead of taking them to the pointer file?
That said, can you right-click on it in the browser and open it in text editor? If not, then I guess you'll just have to do it on your computer.

@Jimmy9008 said in Marketing - Video Editing Storage:
Originally, I was looking at proposing a 20 - 30 TB NAS populated with SSDs in the local office, with 10 Gbps NIC. This would provide high speed local access over the LAN to 6 marketing users.
If their PCs accessing a NAS at 1-10Gbps isn't good enough because their primary concern is speed, why would they push for way slower cloud storage, assuming no on-prem cache?
I archive my video in the cloud, but I would not want to work from it without a local cache.

@travisdh1 What is 'better paying' what range?
And how do you know Spillman?
Pay range depends a LOT on location of the job offering. A couple examples from my life.
- Cleveland, OH ~$40,000/year. Basically poverty wage.
- Wooster, OH ~$40,000/year. Living well.
- Fairlawn, OH ~$60,000/year. Around the same as Wooster at 40k
Those values get to be hugely different depending on the area of the country, and I'd expect them to be around the lowest in the country because of the cost of living in Ohio compared to most of the rest of the U.S.I have my CJIS cert and supported Spillman for multiple police departments and a county sheriff at my previous job.
Ii don't know where you are getting this info from, but a quick search on LinkedIn for Cleveland, Ohio Jobs shows this is not the case.
Also, I get contacted for remote jobs on daily basis for well over $100k
I hear that from a much larger amount of people here than any other groups I've ever interacted with. Good for you, but that's far from the norm.
Jimbo's Corner Manufacturing or Pat's Consulting isn't going to pay anyone in IT more than $45k-$85k base a year. Ignore all of those jobs, and search for remote jobs and jobs in cities. Tailor your resume for those and push for remote. Look for more specialized roles and sys admin/eng or product owner types. Those are the ones paying $120k-$220k base.
