  For the record, at 10:30 in the video you talk about the original RoIT site failing. It was never released to the public as such, we played around with the idea of it for a while but setting up a non-profit entity and all that's involved in that was way more work and money than we'd originally thought. We decided not to go forward with the project since but I don't think that really counts as failing. I'm glad someone pointed to the WBM link, I had forgotten that we'd made the domain name into a rick roll, that made me smile.

  @scottalanmiller said in What Are You Doing Right Now: @WrCombs said in What Are You Doing Right Now: @scottalanmiller because we're 5 months into the year? it's not funny when you try to rationally think about it. it's a joke. But I don't get the joke because 400 errors can be found by division into any year. A joke is only funny if it makes sense. If the joke depends on people "not getting it" and just laughing because they are confused, that's not a joke. I get not over analyzing jokes as they depend on a certain suspension of disbelief. But there has to be a basis for the joke in the first place. The core of this joke is that "5" is the magic number and by applying that magic number to the year, it becomes something funny. But that the 5 is totally without foundation means that the foundation of the joke is missing. The suspension of disbelief would be understanding that you don't dig into that 2020 is arbitrary based on a randomly assigned calendaring system, that the number didn't always come out to be 2020, etc. We don't dig into that stuff for the joke. But the 5 is the joke. It's the whole joke. If the 5 isn't significant, the joke literally doesn't exist. If you can reword the joke to be "did you know 404 can be dividied into any rational number?", that's not funny. And that there are tons and tons of error codes using HTML errors so every year has a joke like this makes it even less meaningful. To make a joke like this would require... That the thing wrong with the year is related to the 404 error (missing / not found), not just being an error since essentially every number is an error. The joke only works if the specific error of 404 relates. That the modifier "5" be in some way significant to make it at least a perceived "coincidence." That's just basic joke making. You can see... the assumption about what would make this a joke takes so much work, it was all missed. A joke should be obvious, it should require tons of explanation to find what's supposed to be the funny part. Ah fooey. It's people like you that killed Vaudeville. Laughter is good, light heartedness is good, there are so many things in life that don't warrant thought and consideration, that joke was one of them, if it's found amusing then great, if not move on. I actually thought this year was going to be the year of the optometrist.

  @scottalanmiller said in Internship for a future developer: @Julien said in Internship for a future developer: I wasn't aware of GitLab though. Same thing, different logo I use GitLab, both are good. GitHub is owned by MS now, GitLab is open source. GL has a lot of outages, but they do more for free. I haven't noticed any outages that I can remember recently. GitHub however has had at least one major outage every year since 2017 and already multiole big ones this year.

  Just earlier this April, Microsoft released an update for their Windows Virtual Desktop. Among others, the novelty includes a new graphical interface directly in the Azure port. Unfortunately, it seems like this is just a teaser though: the feature is currently available in Preview, only US regions are available through this portal. You can’t migrate there yet. Read the post by Florent Appointare, a Microsoft Engineer, explaining how you can access and view the new interface of WVD in preview mode.

  @Pete-S said in To vSAN or not to vSAN?: The problem the way I see it with old stuff like the OP has is while there is nothing wrong with the technology itself, everything is relatively slow with today's standard and much more complex than needed. It's very true. And the risk today is that we are so accustomed to that complexity, that we often avoid the simple answers today.

We will likely do both a live stream and a live event once the all clear has been issued. That makes sense. I would like to see it opened up to more people that could attend. It will really cut costs, and of course avoid all the issues we will obviously have for the next several months (at minimum). Could there be a meetup separate from the conference? I dont see why the two have to be connected especially considering the circumstances. Kinda hard to get your company to pay for a meetup that has no technical content, etc. Most places are offering their virtual conferences free right now. My Hashicorp conference in October is been switched to virtual they are refunding my money and offering it free virtual since the only real overhead is paying their employees to present via Zoom session. Redhat did the same thing as did many others like KnowBe4 and HITRUST. If there was a cost for a virtual mangocon, I would assume it would be minimal. All that makes sense, though not sure what it has to do with my quoted post about getting a company to pay for a meetup that wasn't around a conference with content? Why do you need your company to pay for it if it's virtual? That was my point. OH - I guess I don't see a meetup as a virtual thing, I assumed you meant a later in person meetup. It seems like best case scenario for in person meetup is probably in the fall, but even many conferences are canceling then.

  @gilberto said in raid partition 0: Excuse my ignorance. Now I was installing x2go. If I partition the hdd in raid 0 I also need to rebuild the operating system or just x2go. thank you. To reiterate: Any time you are reconfiguring an array, you lose everything on the array. If you want to keep the data, you must back the data up to a separate medium and restore it once you are done configuring the array.

And looking to attempt switching from OpenShot to KdenLive to see if it is more powerful before the next episode. You can also try using Davinci Resolve and even Blender Blender really isn't for video editing. It can, but it's not built for it. It's really more to compete with After Effects. I have it, but would be pretty rough for normal video stuff. Davinci Resolve is $300 for all the features, and requires so much horsepower, I'm not sure it would even fire up on my machine I had looked at it, though. Resolve is free. Resolve studio is the paid one but I'm pretty sure it's fairly featurefull for free. You don't get things like stereoscopic 3D grading, motion blur effects, team collaboration, etc. But for normal editing it's pretty nice. I'm about to get a new computer just for editing, so I'll check it out when I have a little more power. I've been watching it a long time and it looks really nice. I thought that there were some key features in paid only, but maybe not. Certainly worth testing.
