After reading this thread I have to say that Scott's argument was more compelling. Let me tell you why.
1.) I was a prison guard for 6 years. I always assume people are not telling the truth.
2.) I now work with attorneys which has taught me if something is left vague, it is not for my benefit.
3.) Also because of the attorneys, people will use doublespeak which will result in them implying one thing but actually meaning the opposite.
Which boils down to the fact that you have to always ask questions, even if they are obvious and nail people down to what they exactly mean. You are the only person that can look out for you.

@nerdydad I did. They didn't listen.

I am pulling my hair out. 20 new hires all started yesterday. 20 new attorneys..... young fresh out of law school. They don't look old enough to drive, and soon they will have a license to practice law. I feel really old now.

Just remember NY's S.A.F.E law.... guns can only have less than 6 bullets in the clip. . .

So bring a few loaded clips to quicker reload times. ..

I am in Missouri. I believe I can legally own a howitzer.

That's why we have scripts.

@nerdydad I get to train them on our computer system, document management, etc.

I was also able to remotely connect to the hypervisor on my Korora 25 laptop via VMM.

Caveat: I'm able to manage the VMs settings, but not view through the console. It just keeps repeatedly asking me for the password. No issues adding/removing a NIC, though.

I have some more things to try. I'll report back with results. Anyone else run in to this connecting to a remote host? Maybe it has to do with the VPN connection...

Change your Display in the virtual machine in VMM from SPICE to VNC

Cool - I need to move away from my XS setup. I need to give this a try.

Starwind will have an HTML 5 setup for KVM soon.

Do you have more info on this?

@KOOLER (from Starwind) posted about it this morning in another thread.

I literally stopped reading that thread the post before his post! Got busy.

I got the USG as a giveaway.

I have a USG, and it sits on the shelf, never to be used again. Do what Jared says and Go with ERX

I would like to use keepass for work, but there are some limiting factors to it that just wouldn't work for us.

For personal it's great.

What limitations?

A pretty decent inability to limit specific users to specific password groups.

Couldn't that be solved by separate databases for each group? That is what we do here.

I'm liking Debian more and more as I use it. However the install process has a ridiculous number of screens.

You can choose a different install method and should see fewer screens. My guides are not for the advanced users though.

The less advanced users thank you profusely for that.

I like CentOS' installer. It is just complex enough to do what you need, but clean and simple to make it all go quickly.

I do like CentOS' installer, but I like OpenSuse's the best.

I like the Edge Routers and switches. I like the Unifi Wireless points. I do not like the USG. So I have to have the UNMS and an Unifi Controller. I wish they would bring these under the same umbrella. Jared does the UNMS work with the tough switches?

Why should these be under the same thing? They are different solutions.

I get that. It just adds to the list of interfaces I have to deal with. If you could somehow link your UNMS and your Unifi Controller so you can easily swap between the two without having to log into more than one page.

Wrapped our AC ductwork in a fleece blanket today that I taped into place. That appears to have dramatically improved the efficiency of our air conditioning!

Amazing what a little insulation can do....

We had maybe 2" of insulation in our house when I bought it. Blew in a ton of cellulose insulation. Amazed at the difference.

It's a day for printers. . . 3 tickets this morning alone. .

We got 30 something tickets yesterday morning before 10am for new user accounts that had to be ready by today.

A couple of weeks ago we had someone walk into the IT department and say, this is our new hire... do you have a laptop for him? We all looked at each other blankly as no one ever told us that there was a new hire starting that day.

@scottalanmiller said in Looking at Ideas for a Grassless Backyard:

Interesting setup. It's pretty but I find it odd to have grass on your table while you are eating. I feel like this would increase the odds of bugs in your food.

That's exactly what I thought my wife would say if she saw that. That is her biggest complaint about eating outside. It was beautiful last weekend in St. Louis. Virtually no humidity (rare for the summer), relatively cool temps (low 90s as a high), and we just got a nice umbrella for our deck but could we eat outside and use...nooooo....might get bugs in our food. Which then had me asking why did we spend the money on the umbrella.

Well, I walked the tech through it, twice as he messed something up the first time. Wasn't horrible, of course, his phone died halfway through and then he had to plug it in and was yelling from the other side of the server room.

@scottalanmiller this will be the KVM host.

@dashrender No, unfortunately not.
