      @MrWright4hire said in The Most Effective Meetings:

      Isn't it funny how we may disagree about being there for someone until we're the someone that needs the help

      Is calling a meeting to take the time of several people or more really the most effective use of resources if one needs help with something? I can't agree to that.

      Allow me to clear my thoughts up for everyone.

      Scenario #1:
      When you call a meeting and there's really not much to talk about from a business pov. However, you are aware that a team member is having issues and struggling at work. You open the dialog, without pointing fingers, how you have notice the issues. And how you need to address it before it gets out of hand. Like I said, instead of calling someone out, let it be known that anyone with the issues should come and discuss the issues. You not taking up extra resources. You're bringing awareness and depend on what the issue is, educating your team for a better work environment.

      AND

      Scenario #2:
      Co-workers don't get along. That needs to be address and nipped in the bud quick, fast and in a hurry.

      There's issues you can address in public and in private without wasting time or resources.

      This doesn't have to be trivial, I'm basically just saying that people are important when it comes to a team. Just make sure all is good for a great team results.

      @Obsolesce We have seen it on both situations and it is annoying to be honest for end users.

      Yeah I can definitely imagine that being annoying. If ya can't find or fix the the network or config issue, no choice other than to disable it on all the clients.

      @gjacobse said in Windows 11 Remove PIN and Only Use Password Instructions:

      @scottalanmiller

      I may have an account I have forgotten about
      But I continue to use local only. I believe they call it an “Offline Account”

      On my personal Windows laptop, I use my Microsoft account (MFA'd). It makes things all around that way more convenient for me. To avoid passwords, and because I want that separated, I use Windows Hello (fingerprint or PIN). Then BitLocker (TPM 2.0+), and of course the BitLocker Startup PIN.

      On my personal Linux laptop, basically the same thing as above, but SW level encryption.
      I'm looking forward to trying Ubuntu's TPM-backed Full Disk Encryption soon! I haven't had time yet.

      I'm a fan of the one liner assuming you are transferring all roles to the same DC.

      Move-ADDirectoryServerOperationMasterRole -Identity "DC-Server" -OperationMasterRole 0,1,2,3,4 0: PDCEmulator 1: RIDMaster 2: InfrastructureMaster 3: SchemaMaster 4: DomainNamingMaster

      Me too. This is what I normally use. SOOOO helpful.

      Not sure why powershell made it so complicated to find who has the roles.
      netdom query fsmo was so easy.

      @scottalanmiller Yea I've had to deal with this in the past, the software is just awful to deal with, and literally makes nothing more secure, for either the prosecution, defendant(s) or the public attempting to view the material.

      Simple answer is, that it just proves how vulnerable police departments are with such horrible software requirements.

      Not aware of any requirement. They just choose this kind of equipment over other options.

      @scottalanmiller said in Raspberry Pi 5 Announced Today:

      For those who don't want to read all of the details...

      Basically everything from CPU to RAM to GPU is 2x - 3x higher performance than the RP4 from 2018.

      Support hats will be available directly from RP for both PoE+ power (no need for external power on these!!) and, drumroll, for M.2 NVMe drives. Meaning you can really use this as a real computer like never before. Lack of native M.2 support was the killer of the RP4 generation.

      An RP4 with NVMe would have made it a reasonable desktop system. Without it, it was hard to do anything requiring drive performance of any sort. With more than double the performance across the "board" and NVMe support, this is a very, very powerful workstation.

      Active cooling is now semi-standard to accommodate all of this, too.

      Now if only I could get one - I have a need for two of these right now..

      macOS Sonoma 14 has released this morning. Mac users can update now. I'm just about to kick off the update myself.

      https://www.apple.com/macos/sonoma/

      No major features that I would call important in any way. but lots of little things.

      Released yesterday. I upgraded to it with zero issues. I'll be using my laptop as my primary device today and tomorrow, so if there are any issues, I expect to find them. so far, nothing.

      After scouring countless sites and articles, only thing that could fully read the drives was UFS Explorer. $700 later and many, many crashes, we are starting to have a reliable process of recovering the data. We have to use UFS Explorer and recover as raw disk images. Then attach those raw images to new VMs manually. Then do a Windows recover to each one.

      @scottalanmiller said in Resources for Learning HTML & CSS Web Design:

      Does anyone have good resources for web design? Good books or YouTube or websites? I'm talking actual skilled design, not "I bought a template for WordPress and changed teh colors using a GUI". I want to get people up to speed on hand coding HTML and CSS, understanding things like Bootstrap and so forth.

      I'm not aware of any specific videos for HTML and CSS, but what I have been using here and there is SoloLearn. The Android app for it is great. The best part about it is that for each part of the course, there's public comments. You can learn so much more useful things browsing through those after reading each step of the course. It's been a great help.

      My most recent course in Sololearn is the C#. I don't only use Sololearn, but it's a great addition to other resources. I used a great 45-hour Udemy course as my main source. That said, I do remember seeing HTML and CSS in Sololearn.

      As for websites, when I need to reference HTML and CSS, my go-to sites are:

      HTML:

      https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/HTML https://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp

      CSS:

      https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/CSS https://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp

      Most of my HTML/CSS usage these days is the ad-hoc need to reference something, so there's likely better tutorials than I listed. But it might be good to check out SASS and SCSS as well, as I have been needing to reference those more and more.

      Leaving this new system standalone, not joining the old cluster or creating a single system cluster.

      The new (added in 7.3) qm remote-migrate works well. The docs suck, but the function is great.
