Qdoba... I could literally eat there 3-4 times a week. Love that place.

Most of the initial soreness phase and am already seeing/feeling those initial results. Hard to understand why I ever stop working out. Usually it's because my afternoons get too busy, but hopefully this morning schedule will work out better. I've gotten used to it by now and actually enjoy it. The one morning I "slept in" so far I felt groggy and sluggish.

@scottalanmiller Dang thats sad. You know you don't overdose if you just don't take drugs. I mean how hard is it to not take drugs?

For someone who has never taken them... pretty easy. For someone who got involved at some point in their life for one reason or another... extremely difficult apparently.

I don't claim to understand addiction, but I've seen first hand how much of a struggle it is for numerous people. My former boss got let go because of his struggle with alcohol. Some of my closest friends growing up are still struggling with it constantly. They started drinking in HS which then became weed which turned into pills, and the next thing you know they're hooked on oxycontin or something similar. I don't even recognize these people anymore and try to stay far away from them.

I've always been scared to even drink alcohol. I've always said that 0 out of 10 alcoholics think they'll be an alcoholic when they take their first drink. My wife can have her beer or wine and control herself just fine. I think you just never know if it'll be something that cripples you or not until it's too late, therefore I just choose to stay away from all of it altogether.

@ccwtech said in How to install the Ubiquiti UniFi Controller on Debian 9.1:

To update the Cloud Controller to the latest version on debian, is it just another

apt-get install unifi -y

If you added the repo per this guide, then it should just be (sudo) apt update && (sudo) apt upgrade -y) like any other system update

Why don’t just use snap?

Where's the fun in that??

I know y'all are concerned... Snapchat just went down.

Lol, it was in and out but not much

Just started back working out this week. Going the early morning route after watching some motivational stuff online about waking up earlier. Gotta get past all the initial soreness again.

I saw it discussed on a thread not long ago, and can't seem to find it now, where someone was having issues installing the Desktop Experience of Windows Server Semi-Annual Channel. Just saw this article published over the weekend stating that the Semi-Annual Channel will in fact no longer include the Desktop Experience as an option, only the Core since that's their recommended version/edition. The Desktop Experience will still continue on the LTSC.... for now.

How can they be this out of touch?

Upgraded my Vultr Unifi Controller to 18.04, good article here for upgrading it.

What version Unifi controller are you running? Have they resolved the issue with upgrading Mongo 3.6?

@JaredBusch So I just installed a fresh Vultr instance and followed your guide to a T. I did download the 13.0.2 file to see if it would install correctly and then if it did, I wanted to see if it would update without issues or require the json module.

When I got to the part about going to the web GUI to setup the admin password, I kept getting an "Internal Server Error" page. Tried rebooting the server but same result. I installed php-json and then systemctl restart httpd and the page came up fine. So it appears for whatever reason Fedora 28 wants php-json module to work properly. Which is odd because my instance has been working fine on Fedora 28 until last night when I did a dnf upgrade, so maybe something else got installed that created this dependency.

Finally sitting down at my desk after a morning full of on site calls and Maintenance calls before the College World Series hits our Down town.
It's finally Friday!

Yeah I wouldn't mind hanging out in Omaha right now. I've never been to the CWS but definitely plan to eventually. Hang out at McDonalds one morning and try to catch Warren Buffett on his way to work.

I just ran into an error updating from 13.0.2 to 13.0.4. When trying to update via CLI I would get the following message...

Some Googling led me to potential issues with lack of json module for php. Figured I'd give it a shot so I installed dnf install php-json and re-ran the update. Worked like a charm.

I usually have initiated the update from the Web GUI in the past, but was on my phone at home last night and thought I'd give the CLI a go since I too have issues with the web update from time to time.

Might be a new dependency to account for. I have not ran a new in stall in a couple years.

This was originally a Nextcloud 12 install on Fedora 27. Have upgraded to versions 13 and 28 respectively. Upgrades up to this point have not required this module.

Be curious for others who are running latest Nextcloud on Fedora 28, if you run php -m if the php-json module is installed or if you were able to upgrade to the latest without it. @scottalanmiller @NerdyDad @bnrstnr @black3dynamite

I didn't find any searches related to Nextcloud for this error but if I searched for the PHP Fatal error with json_encode() that's what led me to the result.

Little late to this thread, but some of the businesses that seem to do well in my area (population 75k) are security systems/home automation and phone systems.

One of the main guys here who does security systems does them for individual homes and well as school systems or other businesses. Many of these are tied into alarm systems and have a residual revenue. Additionally, as home automation is growing, he's branched into setting up full systems for people. He stays busy and does very well.

I know @scottalanmiller @JaredBusch do FreePBX phone systems and that in reality they can be deployed/managed from anywhere, but in the South, people still want to know who they're dealing with and know that if they call Johnny, he can be on-site if necessary. EVERY business needs (wants) phones, and therefore if you can get really good at a phone system that will save businesses money but can also create some residual income for yourself, that could be another option.

The primary phone systems company in my area deploys Samsung systems. I've thought very seriously about trying to get into this business because I know a FreePBX or similar offering would likely save these people a good amount of money and would be a semi-easy sell compared to their current offerings. My phone system knowledge is limited however and I'm trying to grow it as I get time.

@zachary715 What is the advantage of using dnf-automatic over a crontab, the emails?

I'm not knowledgeable enough to speak to that confidently, but my guess would be that with dnf-automatic and yum.cron, you're using systems in the OS specifically designed for their use cases, being automatic OS updates. While you can likely accomplish this with a cron job, you'd be performing a "work-around" solution rather than the intended solution. Anything more specific than that I can't answer.

@obsolesce said in Microsoft buys GitHub for $7.5 billion:

Looking at the Nokia phone line, it seems pretty booming to me. Not quite sure yet what is ruined regarding Nokia phones.

I'm pretty sure Microsoft isn't involved in Nokia anymore. They sold their mobile phone to HMD Global/Foxconn for $350 million after purchasing for $8 billion.

https://www.cnbc.com/2016/05/18/nokia-phones-are-back-after-microsoft-sells-mobile-assets-for-350-million-to-foxconn-hmd.html

Although from what I understand this was a Ballmer decision that Nadella didn't approve of before becoming CEO, and didn't see the point in putting more resources towards it when he took it over so they wrote it down. HMD is putting out phones like crazy though and keeping them mostly stock Android. They're looking pretty attractive.

@showtax said in Windows 10 1803 and SAP Client:

@scottalanmiller

Graphics Driver aren't the issue, I've tested it on my GTX 970 card which has the latest drivers.
Since this post is 18 days ago, did you successfully resolve the issue yet?
We are close to updating to W10 1803 and since our first test users experience this issue and you can't rollback 1803, we are looking for answers.

Thanks in advance.

Your sincerely,
Frederick

Lol then I would recommend you hold off on that 1803 rollout if I were you. Unless you just enjoy jumping into fires.
