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.
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
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.
Mars
Christmas night, 2022-12-25.
Alt: 71°
A better image capture of Mars than last time. It was higher up in the sky, so a little less atmospheric disturbance. I also tried some processing to bring out any detail.
Mars was 56,563,608 miles from Earth when I took the photo. That's about 5 minutes for light to travel from Mars to my camera.
Setup:
5" SCT + 2x Barlow, ASI224MC @ ~2500mm f/20
iOptron mount, tracking: mount-only
FireCapture, shutter 5ms / gain 183 / histogram ~37% (I have more to captures from that night to process that may be better than this, I'm still experimenting)
20% best of 10k 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?

He wants something "more serious looking" what does that even mean?
I have had great experience with these:

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).
I got tired of seeing links here and there saying to do this and that, firewall rules open/closed here and there, add account there, etc., etc... all to no avail and only making things worse and opening security holes.
So I decided to post the working procedure that I use (nicely cleaned up, you're welcome), with the info coming straight from the MS Docs site (linked in references)... From there, I converted everything to be done via PowerShell to make everyone's life better.
You'll notice there really isn't that much you have to do to the host, and the stuff you need to do to the management PC is minimal, but a lot of what you see around the net isn't in there. Why? Because it doesn't need to be.
That's a major risk when MSPs manage everyone without separation.

But good news, Google now ranks us the very top hit for ZRAID8 Literally, since this is the first place it has ever been mentioned.
Hahahhaha that just made my month!
@momurda said in What Are You Doing Right Now:
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 finally was able to see the moon this morning! It's been too cloudy since I got the new telescope. I'm still waiting on the t-adapter, Barlow, and 8-24mm eye piece to arrive, but looks awesome nonetheless. Once I get the t-adapter I can hook up the Fuji and get much better pics.
And from a couple nights ago I was able to see Saturn and Jupiter. Bad shaky cell phone Pic.

If your excuse is that your software only supports Windows XP, then it's time to find a new vendor that supports OSs from the present decade.
Easier said than done. I know... but rather that than people dieing.
The organization I work for has some proprietary (PROM or EPROM i think) programming software (forget exactly what it is) that requires a specific processor (due to the timing/frequency of the CPU crystal) that can't run anything greater than 98.. but that computer is off the network. There are ways...

Is person the boss? Or a coworker?
Without airing dirty laundry... I'll just say they are in a technical, non-managerial role.
Maybe he washes off and reuses his toilet paper too?
