@BBigford Ah, I gotcha. I never run into that because I'm a paid customer. 8-)

MobaXterm is pricey, for sure... but definitely worth it to me.

IT has a built in SFTP engine so that anytime you connect to a Linux machine, it gives you an SFTP tab for up / downloading files, so you don't have to use yet another application for that.

So far MXT is pretty awesome. I noticed right away it has the same scaling issues as Terminals though.. If you start a session when the screen isn't maximized, you have to re-establish the session. It only takes a few seconds but it's just something I notice.

I believe if you hit the fit to Window size button that it should resize and not totally reconnect.

yes, but it reconnects. And this can be a PITA if you are using a remote X session for example, because it will login again and your old session is lost. This IS an issue in MobaXterm.

So far, my only complaint. Not an issue just with Moba. This is an issue with many many vendors. So far, that is something I can overlook since it is so common, and it is really my only complaint. Everything else is awesome.

To be honest, most tools are using the freerdp library behind the scenes. And so does MobaXterm, AFAIK. The problem is within this library

@IRJ said in Got a Pi:

I am a little late to the party, but I got a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B to use an entertainment center. Should be fun to play with.

I also snagged a couple Zeros although I am not sure how much I am saving with the zero since for my purposes I need a wifi dongle. With the Dongle they are $17 plus $5 shipping. I can get a Pi 3 Model B for $35 with free prim shipping.

$17 for a zero and a dongle?
Just use some cheap $3-$5 LogiLink / TPLink / Whatever USB wifi dongle.

Like this one for example: https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Wireless-Adapter-150Mbps-TL-WN725N/dp/B008IFXQFU/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1472668512&sr=8-4&keywords=wifi+dongle

@MattSpeller And what about ZIP drives? 5 1/4"? 8"? Heck, what about https://www.flickr.com/photos/28156071@N00/5900040703?

Oh true, but if we are going as a size progression from smallest spinning disk to largest....

OMG, SSD babies. Take cover

The port size on the Zeros is the only thing I couldn't get past. Pi 3 is where my preference is.

Yet I don't feel that we've bashed, we've discussed their topics, and how to address the issues / initially configure the issues.

This has been one of the exceptionally few things that bothers me about this forum. For my two cents I think we should keep the cross linking to a bare minimum and for interesting / news topics only. It does not "feel right" most of the time when I read about posts from there.

This community can be a little... predatory... on the folks less experienced in IT. Well intentioned, absolutely. But a little vicious to the unwary.

Well, this very community IS IT. Also, ML's NodeBB is a very fast paced system, that's another problem / feature.

To take up some cludges for @DustinB3403, it was not him alone. We're all shaking our heads about all the quiz questions, @Dashrender called it "beating a dead horse", just for example.

It's very fast paced and ruthless - which is I think some of this place's best qualities. Just need to be careful we don't "eat our young" as it were.

Very true. No doubt that the pace is the strength. But boy does it put pressure on new posters. Especially if they are used to a slow platform and have no idea that things are basically instant.

If you are used to communities where responses wait for emails to go out on a schedule, then people respond eventually... this place is SO different.

That's still a problem for me. Wrote my above post 3 times because I need to follow the discussion, translate, adapt the post... rinse and repeat. Final post was way shorter than initially planned. Like 1/10th of the length.

Good for improving English quickly! Feel free to post in German and slow us down.

Very true. Aber ihr wollt nicht wirklich, daß ich hier auf Deutsch schreibe. Ohne Google Translator versteht ihr sowieso kein Wort. Auf der anderen Seite, ich könnte euch einen vom Pferd erzählen und würde immer noch Upvotes bekommen. Mh, mal drüber nachdenken

I want to get a few of these for UPS monitoring. Would the Zero be the best choice?

Could be a good idea, but what exactly are you planning to do? For example, I could think of a RS323-to-SNMP bridge made with a Zero or something similar for non-SNMP UPS's.

You could also use them to monitor SNMP (or RS232) and raise some alarm, maybe via SMS. There are also lots of other ARM and uC-Boards available that could do that job.

Have you seen something in between?

Bridging issue solved, kind of a Late-Friday-Problem: Promiscuous mode was turned on, but on the wrong interface - the DMZ facing one.

It worked instantly the second I switched it off on the DMZ and instead turned it on on the target network interface.

What kind of licensing does Microsoft and others offer for people who need to dick around with hypervisors, namely hyper-v and vsphere? Is there a "good" way to do it that is cost effective for a home lab?

Hyper-V is free, so the licensing would be with the Server OS.

Which you can download free trials from their website which last for 180 days.

Oh cool. I'm just going to pay for the OS. From what I'm seeing here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/cloud-platform/windows-server-2012-r2-pricing your options are pretty limited if you want to have a lot of different VM's running.

You don't need to pay a single cent for a fully functioning Hyper-V, just download Microsoft Hyper-V Server (NOT Windows Server with Hyper-V). There are no restrictions or limits in functionality. It's just not allowed to install any roles but Hyper-V and Failover Cluster. Fair enough from my point of view.

For the guests, well, when it's Windows you need to pay for it, no matter the hypervisor. If you only plan for Linux/BSD VMs for example, you won't need any server licenses or CALs at all.

Awesome, glad you found a solution. Please be aware that auth basic is plaintext, just base64-encoded. Better use at least SSL to protect at the transport layer.

That's right kids, all politicians are useless scumbags that deserve a slow death at best... Just like the police, they are able to do anything they like without reproach or penalty. Had y'all not already figured this out??? How many decades has it been since a politician was accountable for their actions??? They all deserve the Targaryan treatment... see video below for further details. Skip ahead to 3:25 for the real essence of my message. Very NSFW.

There's not much to be afraid of. Add two new DC's, transfer FSMO etc, remove old DC's after a couple of days, upgrade forest level if required, done.

So everything is working now? Did you manage to make a list of all of the things that were wrong? I feel like after along weekend of drinking that you need to present a report to management of all of the messes that you spent the end of this week cleaning up.

ML is awesome, period. I've asked a very special (and kind of weird) question about an SAS tape library emulator for Windows and got an answer within an hour on a Saturday.

@StrongBad said in Windows 10 Mounts SD Card as Read Only:

That pretty much sums up the problem. If I put an SD card into my Windows 10 laptop, it reads the card just fine, but I can't delete anything from it and it seems to sometimes have reading issues, as well, but that I am not positive about. I can't seem to find where or why it is blocking me from making changes to it. Anyone know where to start looking?

This may sound stupid, but did you check the hardware switch? On the top left side of the card?

@scottalanmiller said in What is your primary OS?:

Ubuntu 16.04 (16.10 very soon) because it is the only Linux based OS that I could get to install properly on my Asus RoG laptop. I wanted Kerora or Mint, but they had installation problems. This was flawless. So, making the best of it.

Win 10 and Ubuntu 16.04 . Will probably switch to Mate, Ubuntu's Desktop is getting slow these days. Also use Gentoo for special tasks (Version? There is no such thing in Gentoo).

As for "why Windows": Never tried it, but I guess VS2015 will seriously suck using Wine
