AFAIK, Even VNC doesn't work on Wayland yet.
Nor does MeshCentral
Really? Now I need to go try that when I have a minute.
I just confirmed that mine is working on the default Fedora 37 desktop using both Firefox and Chromium.

Finally updated my laptop. Now running Fedora 37, and have a few Steam games installing. So much easier than previous versions of Fedora I tried Steam on.

@travisdh1 that's a good idea.
I know it's a shipt topic, but ....
I can remember the trouble my mum had when dad passed away & there's been a few folks who are friends of friends who have died suddenly, just makes you think....
For sure.
We kind of have to consider these things professionally, I just used the easiest method of dealing with things in my personal life as well.

i've been thinking of some not so happy stuff.
been thinking about all my accounts for this n that, that are secured by 2FA and even just passwords.
why? well been thinking about how people that need to, will be able to access my email (mostly) should I get by that bus.
everything goes to my email, bills, insurance, superannuation, contracts blah blah blah.
2FA has made this very hard.
EG, you get hit by a bus, grief and sorrow abound. People that need access, need to get info about your insurances, it gets sent to your email. They don't know your password, your cell/mobile phone has been smashed so they can't use your auth app, if they even know about that stuff.
What a bloody nightmare.
You can make this simpler, but even simple isn't simple enough when you're in mourning.
I'm starting to wind back my 2FA security on some things, life and the devices we take for granted, is becoming way too complex IMO.
My Lastpass vault automatically passes access on after 30 days of inactivity on my part, which includes the key for my Authy 2FA app.

I'm taking another look at AWX, I'm told it's made huge leaps in usability since I last tried it out.

I just got a ticket for Ohio Linux Fest. I'll only be able to attend Saturday, but looks like some interesting things happening.
https://olfconference.org/ if anyone else is interested.
Well, after the conference, I think it's time to give tower another look. A lot has changed, and it should be stable now.

@travisdh1 Sophos XG or XGS firewalls have it that way as well with no GUI.
Yuck!

Cursing the existence of SIP-ALG.
The only way to disable it on a FortiGate is the command line. I'm fine with that, but most people won't even be aware it exists and is turned on!
Interesting choice to exclude that from their interface.
Even an alert to confirm that you want it left on would be better than completely excluding it.This implies to me that they are getting paid by ISPs or similar vendors to create problems on their behalf.
Wouldn't surprise me. They're pricing structure reminds me of Cisco, you have to license the most basic stuff.... 2fa, that's an additional license!

@JasGot said in SAMIT: Should You Still Be Using Disk Partitions:
@scottalanmiller
Can you do a part two that goes more in-depth?
For example...
Is Windows Disk Management a Volume Manager or Partition Manager?
Is Windows (command line) DiskPart a Partition manager or a Volume Manager?It appears Microsoft uses the terms interchangeably.
In Disk Management, they are listed as Volumes, but their status is Partition
In DiskPart they are listed as Volumes with "Type" of Partition?
Those are both partition managers. Microsoft's Volume Management is handled in Storage Spaces.
Also, Storage Spaces is the least reliable storage system I know about.
DBAN covers just about any data wiping requirement, and it's free.

@gjacobse said in Anyone have a decent 3D printer?:
Holy crap - yea,.. that's a burnt print.
I have an Ender 3 Pro and it does a decent job of things... As long as, as with anything, you pay attention to a number of factors. Sadly I don't have photos of some of the prints I've done, and the photos I do have are ones I can't release.
Filament, speed, flow, temp and bed adhesion are may factors to deal with. I haven't been able to print ABS as it just peels right off. I do decent with PLA and TPU...
There is a lot that I don't know how to do and don't know if I want to try,.. but I've learned a bit also.
Here is a file I printed for a friend:
I thought since they had a decent 3D printer (Makerbot Replicator+) it would have turned out to be a least usable. I'm not sure how they let come out like that. It was printed in PLA, but I don't really care what's used, so long as what prints out is usable. I've never 3D printed anything, so I don't really know a whole lot about it, but given they have what seems like a decent printer and they operate a printing service, I thought it'd have at least turned out a bit better than it did.
Makerbot Replicator+ is a good printer, it's just that it will never get the attention it needs for good prints at a public library. At least if it's anything like the public libraries around here that offer a printing service.
@Obsolesce said in Anyone have a decent 3D printer?:
I'm wondering if anyone have a decent 3D printer that works decent for precise printing and knows how to use it so it doesn't look like it was printing during an earthquake.
I attempted to print something for free using a local library, but when I picked it up, seen that it was just totally butchered.
Here's what it's supposed to look like, the .stl file:
And here's what I got from the library:
As you can see, just totally butchered.
If anyone might be able to help me out, I'd like to see what it'd take to get something like this or similar printed and sent. There's another design I'm testing atm.
Your first problem was going to the local library, where I guarantee they don't have anyone who understands the machines they got with the grant money.
Find a local maker space, or just shell out the $100 for a small one of your own. (Micro Center)

No kidding. Too bad these are so big I'll never need one of my own. But hopefully the datacenters see these rolling in soon.
Some of the press releases have confirmed the big providers already have them in use, so yes, they're already being deployed.
