Bought my wife a copy of Titan Quest... bad idea Still a great game which supports LAN-only multiplayer - sadly, most older games don't play well with with virtual NICs from Hyper V and Docker Desktop.

Looks like an early rendition of WoW.

It's more like Diablo. Great game for its time

like Diablo and Diablo 2?

More like D2 or PoE. The interesting aspect is that you can combine two classes, like rogue + mage or rune + defender.

I guess you aren't talking about Power over Ethernet?

My bad: Path of Exile, really worth it. Free 2 Play without Pay 2 Win. You can only buy chest space, character slots and cosmetics, but nothing that makes you more powerful in any way.

I agree that the game has a ton of play through and depth, but it's such a massive grind.

Yeah it's kind of a grindy genre though

I get it, I do, it's just such a long grind. Even worse than WoW. .

It's 100% worse than WoW in that regard. I am playing classic and I basically raid 1 day a week. The rest of the time I'm playing other games

What made me stop playing PoE was trading. It's fun, but it starts to become actual work at some point. Eventually, we gifted everything to friends. Hundreds of Ex (Exalted Orbs) and items worth a few thousand Ex

To be fair Titan Quest doesn't hold a candle to PoE. No hack n' slash really does. Before POE it was an incredible interpretation of the genre though. Thoroughly enjoyed it

haha, no, absolutely not. PoE is a hell of a game with the most complex skill tree ever.

Doing some work from home, so looking into Windows/Unifi/DC logging

So on this what do people use? ELK Stack, Graylog, Solarwinds etc. Zabbix maybe?

Sounds good. Maybe Grafana? Everything you mentioned is a decent choice (except Solarwinds, never used it)

@black3dynamite said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

That's annoying, the column command has limited amount of options in Debian 10 and Ubuntu 19.10 compared to Fedora. I have a script that uses column and the option that I'm using doesn't exist with the version on Debian/Ubuntu.

you could compile a version from source. Or maybe replace column with a combination of awk and sed?

@pmoncho said in Anyway I can Learn AD?:

wrcombs.com is available. Go register it for a year at godaddy (or whoever) for $12.

Then, like @thwr pointed out in his list, use something like ad.wrcombs.com as your AD domain.

doesn't sound horrible. thanks.

Welcome. Staying away from .local domains, plus knowing you are not using somebody else's domain will make your life SO MUCH easier. No need to start learning bad habits in the beginning.

thoughts?

Like @Dashrender said, it's ok. But I would choose another name for multiple reasons, even in a testing scenario

• .local isn't a valid TLD (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.local for example)
• Register a real domain, like @scottalanmiller mentioned
  • avoid company names - may change in the future
  • avoid product names - may change in the future
  • helps avoiding clashing names (important if you want to build a trust between domains in the future, for example)
  • gives your users a "single domain experience" for internal and external services.
• I prefer to have an additional level of abstraction for internal and external services. Therefore, I name my domains like ad.dom.tld. Personal preference.

@WrCombs Install the Role "Active Directory Domain Services" and "DNS Server"

Installed.
Gotta setup a Domain controller now, it wont let me do anything else (add user, computers, etc. ) until I do.

Just in case you're starting a new AD: Better go read a few articles about AD DNS setup, naming conventions and general best practices before configuring the role. Choosing a good root level domain name is of utmost importance and it shouldn't be changed later.

It's possible, but requires expert level knowledge. It's like jumping through a minefield - blindfolded on a pogo stick.

sounds like a great idea i wanna try that..

Have fun

Still hacking away at learning Linux file systems. Question: What filesystem types would I run into, or which should I master first?

ext4 is a given. What is common in the SMB realm?

Oh, and don't forget to take a look at SquashFS, UnionFS, aufs, OverlayFS and things like that. That's where the fun begins. Special purpose "file systems".

It's also common to see NTFS, FAT32 and exFAT filesystems (exFAT != FAT) in the world of Linux. For example, a lot of USB bootable distributions (System Rescure CD, something you should have on a USB stick, ...) are using a form of FAT on their boot partitions.

xfs can often been seen on BSD systems.

Replying to @scottalanmiller's private messages. They are just a little older than one year.

Sorry guys, was busy with ... stuff and... more stuff and other things and so on. I try to be here more often again in the future.

Welcome back @thwr.

LIES! Get back in your corner @thwr

Trashed two more microSD cards today... I hate those little buggers, never meant to be used as storage devices for an operating system.

Prep'ing another Orange Pi Zero. Will be my new OctoPrint 3D printserver.

Will OcotoPrint work with CNC engravers/routers?

not sure, but there's a GRBL-Plugin: https://plugins.octoprint.org/plugins/octoprint-grbl-plugin/

Another option would be RepetierServer

Awesome - I might have to pick up some OrangePi... Go along with my RaspberryPi...

I like to think about RPis as a great education platform. Very well documented, large community, good availability. OPi is a good development board when you start doing projects.

Far Cry 5 not getting the love.

Found two "buzzwords" in the first sentence: Ubi and disappointment.
