  @scottalanmiller said in NodeBB 2.0 Update | Ubuntu 22.04:

  The GIT repo isn't showing the 2 branch yet. Not sure why because it shows up on GitHub.

  Well they pulled it, so we are now on the "latest" again.

  @siringo said in New server q's:

  Those last 2 posts are spot on Scott.

  If I were to deploy a solution that was different to what everyone else was deploying, even if it was cheaper, better, faster, more resilient etc, I'd be lambasted by others simply because it was different and more likely, not understood.

  That can lead to unhappy management, which can then lead to all sorts of grief for me.

  This is obviously, not what I want.

  Thanks for all the info & advice, it is greatly appreciated.

  So you should buy the same old server model from 2016 to stay consistent with what they currently know 🙂

  Unfortunately yes.

  It comes under the job preservation title. I live in area where IT work is extremely hard to secure due to there not being much of it, so rocking the boat is not a good move.

  And of course Rogue One, was great. Andor has a lot of potential.

  Yeah, it's pretty awesome so far. Sux it's Disney keeping to the ol' television dole out one episode per week.

  All of the streamers do that for the biggest name stuff, even Netflix.

  I've never seen Netflix do that - but I haven't watched a Netflix series in years....

  I don't recall Netflix doing it, but I think that they might have. None of my NEtflix shows has, though. Stranger THings did all episodes except two, which were movie length, then those two. But that was different.

  Amazon Prime is doing it with Lord of the Rings right now, though

  They used to do it a lot a couple years ago. Looking at my home page now, I don't see any tagged that way.

  It would be like this tag, except it would say "New Episodes Weekly"

  Jaja, yay I got sort of referenced

  The "weird systems users": hobbyists who offer virtualization to non-profit and charity users, using old, out-of-maintenance hardware that had been inherited or passed on to them. Enthusiast users, with no funds to buy licenses?

  That too.

  @pmoncho said in Nearly All Job Postings Are Fake SAMIT Video:

  My guess was it was totally fake or someone messed up the cut/paste job.

  Or... both.

  It was confusing to me and then I laughed because of all the talk of fake job postings.

  @JasGot said in Any .Net Core for Linux experts around?:

  I have two roadblocks with a .net core console app I need to get resolved. I am looking for someone with the expertise to solve these issues for me.

  I can discuss the app here, but if you are interested, let's negotiate the terms privately.

  Is it a Linux issue, .NET on Linux issue, or an issue with the software? Running .NET on Linux is very straightforward and is an IT issue. The software is a programming issue. So important as it affects what type of firm you'd engage.

  I can't get it to run properly as a serviced. No idea why. Not my cup of tea.

  That should be easy enough. It will run manually?

  @scottalanmiller said in Insurance form and MFA:

  They mean signing into Active Directory, not the server (the server too, I'm sure.) Do your users have MFA when signing into their desktops?

  No they don't have MFA for signing into the desktops.

  They also mentioned MFA for routers. Not sure the edgerouter can do this.

  They LIKELY mean for a VPN on the router, not for the login. But for login, you can do MFA if you only log in via SSH with certs.

  Loosing good account reps seems to be the norm in the SBM... a sales person often seems to start out on the SMB desk, if they excel, they are promoted to other desks. This has happened to me at least three times across different vendors.

  Can you reassign disks between VMs yet?

  The hot add disks was a huge pain before. I couldn't believe I wasn't able to do that.

  CanPay Software Inc_1200x628.png

  CanPay Software Inc., a Canada-based software development company, had outdated hardware resources, the maintenance of which added extra expenses each year. So, the company needed a refresh but at a price affordable for small businesses. Using StarWind HCI Appliance (HCA), CanPay Software replaces its end-of-life SANs, goes all-flash, builds a hyperconverged IT infrastructure, and reduces its IT operational expenses (OpEx).

  You can read about how StarWind could do the same for your company by following this link.

  @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.

  So.... about MangoCon 2022 ?

  About time to start discussing that. We fully own the hotel here now, so we are in a much better position to do planning.

  I have a few leftover days of vacation - depending on timing - I might come out there!

  @scottalanmiller said in Is there a webcrawler issue with mangolassi.it?:

  @Pete-S so odd, I wonder why they aren't indexing it any longer. I am not aware of any changes that would likely have prompted that.

  Have a look at this:

  If I remember correctly duckduckgo uses several other search engines, including bing, to compile it's results.

  @Dashrender said in Lenovo Bypass BIOS Options:

  in the 2010's many laptops came with a boot to BIOS/setup button, a Tiny button typically on side of the laptop meant to help you bypass this rapid boot feature and ensure you get into the BIOS

  Never seen that, ever.

  My old Lenovo had it.
