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.
@siringo said in What Are You Doing Right Now:
WHY, when I have a nice new wsus server, complete with all the required updates, ready to go, do clients look at that server and say, nope nothing there for me, but when I tell the client to go look at the MS update server, they say, Oh, here's all the stuff I need.
And why, when I tell the same clients to auto download, they just sit there and say, Hey, i'm ready to download, when do you want me to do that???
Wsus still found in the wild?

@black3dynamite said in Non-IT News Thread:
While I agree with him, why is this "news"? I have a coworker that believes the vaccine is something nefarious, but ignores the billions of people who have/are getting vaccinated as proof and only takes these random articles as proof that something is amiss.
Are you referring to the abundance of issues so much that the CDC is investigating it?

Imagine what they are not saying about it.
I seen that the risk of having vaccine related issues is far greater than having covid related issues, for young people.
@scottalanmiller said in Any Techs in the Tampa Area for 1-2 Day Project?:
Simple stuff, looking for basically remote hands to help at a veterinary clinic that is being built. So plugging in new computers and phones, mostly.
I can be if you provide travel, lodging, dining, and a few $k :)
@jaredbusch said in Office chair suggestions?:
You sit in these things for hours a day, you want something high quality.
This. I went through some serious back issues last year and got a good chair by order of the doctor.
You want lumbar support for sure, and a chair with all the proper adjustments all around.
There's videos on YouTube for properly adjusting your office chair so I won't get into that.
Also, ideally, a sit/stand desk because getting up frequently or at minimum changing your sitting position is important.
These things helped heal my back so I know it works. It's also the way to go to prevent back injury or issues later due to improper office ergonomics.

I'm still hoping I can grab a 3070 so that I can run at max settings, but this will do for now.
You don't need a 3070 to run with max settings.
@srsmith said in Gaming - What's everyone playing / hosting / looking to play:
It seems to be harder to get modding tools running than it is to get the game itself...
I like wemod. I don't think it will work for Linux though, not natively anyways. I game on Windows though so everything just works without needing to mess with anything ever.
@srsmith said in Gaming - What's everyone playing / hosting / looking to play:
@obsolesce That does sound like a really nice update, I'll have to download it and attempt to check it out later. Although, I'm pretty sure my GTX 970 is going to scream at me - it already struggles at times with the current version, and I imagine it will only be worse with the new visual features they added. Might be time for me to seriously consider buying a pre-built so that I can get something like an RTX 3070 so that I can actually run smoothly with these new features...
FWIW, it runs flawlessly on max graphics settings with a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super Max-Q.
@pete-s said in Bring order into IT environment in chaos:
Faced with an working IT environment in chaos (undocumented, unpatched, where's the backups, what licenses are there, what warranties, vendors, what servers are in use, what apps etc, etc).
What steps would you take to get things in order as quickly as possible?
And in what order would you do it?
What are they willing to pay you to do? What's your contract say?
Update 3.5, Prisms, dramatically refreshes the No Man’s Sky experience with a range of new visual features and technologies. The universe has never looked better, with reflections, new texture effects, more biome detail, improved lighting, new skies, new warp effects, creature fur, and a host more besides.
Awesome update!
