I'm not sure what "Hyper-V partition" means.

I meant to say the host o/s partition.

I kinda gathered that is what it meant. Thanks for clarifying.

This reminded me of a tweet I seennot so long ago:

@JaredBusch said in Windows Offline files won't sync:

I don't even bother to try anymore.

Make a copy outside of sync location. delete form sync location and hidden sync location make sure folder in solid sync put file back

Yup. Don't mess with it.

Drop a copy of the files in question into a \Temp folder then delete from the local and redirected folder, sync, and finally put it back into the local folder. Then sync again.

@wrx7m said in Bookstack Backup to S3:

@dbeato Are you running bookstack in AWS?

Not at the moment. I am just backing up to S3.

Look at Wasabi for S3 compatible object storage. Significantly cheaper.

Yup, can't think of any reason to use S3 unless you are hosted on AWS and aren't using it for backup but for production storage. And even then, not the majority of the time. S3 is too expensive and doesn't really offer anything except locality that is of any specific value. B2 and Wasabi beat it a lot.

Sorry, I posted this as S3 but I should change it to Wasabi. It is the same Idea for both.

As an "extender", you'd definitely need a parent of some sort.

@WLS-ITGuy said in SFTP fails after 7GB:

@scottalanmiller I figured it out.. I formatted the drives wrong and made separate partitions for /Var, /home, etc

Ah yeah, almost always best to avoid that. So I assume that whatever filesystem you were using was full?

You are correct sir!

@IRJ said in One of the configured repositories failed (Unknown):

I also think you may be looking at the wrong file.

In Ubuntu it is located here

/etc/apt/sources.list

You can also add sources by file here

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/

He's using Centos, and location was correct. Both distros store config files in slightly different locations.

@DustinB3403 said in MySQL MariaDB password reset without knowing the password:

Just still seems weird to have the password in plaintext on in a config file.

has to be somewhere, how else can an application connect? Look at WordPress, for example, you have to enter the password into the application so that the application can connect to the database. Otherwise, the database would have to have no password protection at all or you'd need a human to log in and enter the password every time a database connection was needed (which is normally thousands of times a minute.)

@krisleslie said in Spec'ing a new computer from Dell or?:

Sadly - sometimes it's due to the fact that they are trying for SUPER thin and SUPER light.. so making things modular costs both thickness and weight.

Hell no it's not because of the "lightweight" and "thin size". That is cost-driven to make you purchase the same model that adds one frigging slot. If you look at the PCB, it's got the solder points there already! I hate to say it, this is the same effect and the same thing as what Apple does in certain scenarios.

I did mention reduced SKUs also - which is basically what you're talking about.

it relies on DNS (or hosts files) to resolve itself and generate SSL certs, this has to work before you install the engine. If it did work, and you still get this error, this is a bug

Thanks!

My pleasure! That can come in handy when dealing with the Clintons or reptilian aliens.

Ansible can do that. https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/win_domain_group_membership_module.html#win-domain-group-membership-module
You can add new PCs to domain, and change their group membership, you just need to know computer names in advance.

Which is just a layer on top of Powershell. The Active Directory Powershell module is still required.

It's not required, or that module is included already in Windows 10 by default. Because I haven't had to install it on any machine I managed with Ansible.

"win_domain_group_membership requires the ActiveDirectory PS module to be installed"
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/lib/ansible/modules/windows/win_domain_group_membership.ps1

They have it in the documentation as well "This must be run on a host that has the ActiveDirectory powershell module installed."
