I will stick to black and white printing to save costs. If a color printer is absolutely necessary, we can make it available for limited use..

I’d definitely say that USMTGUI and User Profile Central (UPC) from Ehlertech is currently the most comprehensive User profile handling tools out there.

Ehlertech is maintaining USMT and updating on a regular basis.
Something Microsoft has not done for years.

UPCs advantage over USMTGUI is that UPC handles domain profiles remotely over LAN.
USMTGUI on the other hand is capable of migrating to AAD accounts.

If you have any custom xml files in your SCCM setup you can also integrate those with UPC

I use it for Jellyfin

@travisdh1 o3 is for the best advanced reasoning.

Right o series are reasoning models. GPT are intelligence models. o for strategy, GPT for tactics.

@scottalanmiller said in Ubuntu Server "Search Domains":

It's not a LInux thing, it's a general networking thing so the same on desktops, Windows, wherever.

This is correct. If I recall right, within the Windows network config GUI, it's called a "domain suffix.".

Sounds right.

I wish I thought that means that firmware updates will no longer be held behind a paywall.

@gjacobse said in Recommendation for home WiFi router:

@JaredBusch
the UniFi Express 7 looks pretty decent in capacity and features - and likely a contendor replacement for the UniFi Lite Router I have since my NTG days. Has that really been ten years ago now?

I will say I sort of feel that they seriously missed the mark in the design. Seems that USB-C has to be shoved into everything - but seriously - why!!??

They could have easily put the PSU into the unit and only had the AC power cable. True, the unit shouldn't need to be moved once in place. But,.. really? Get real - Just because USB--C can do so much, doesn't mean that you need to use it everywhere - especially when all you are suppling is 5v. Incorporate the whole thing and it'll be a better format.

That said,.. I'm still likely to move to something like it or this in the future.

I had a location with a UniFi Lite router that died around a year ago. Upgrading to the UniFi Express doubled their throughput with QOS enabled. Went from 300MB download to 600MB. Upload is limited because of the cable connection.

@EddieJennings yeah, that would be nice for sure.

@scottalanmiller said in Proxmox backup to remote PBS over Zerotier:

If you haven't played with it for tiny scale stuff, TailScale makes this SO easy to do.

I do have a TailScale account, but didn't think of it because I already had some other stuff at the location already on Zerotier.

Thinking of using my newly bought Raspberry Pi Pico from https://robocraze.com/collections/raspberry-pi for an IoT project. Which programming language would be best? Suggestions welcome!
