Thanks to everyone for the great replies. I just got confirmation from Dell that I need to go with the server version. So it's looking like CentOS 8 Stream / Docker CE / Docker compose will be the setup. Stand by, there will probably be more noob questions coming soon.

Yeah wow that's gross that they force those specifically. Maybe Dell should catch up with everything that's going on in the world.

Dell did not force that.

@dbeato Sadly by now, is the only real secure option so far, I hate that, but I don´t want to put on risk the system only for that. I have found some posts suggesting that changing/nullifying admin authority for printer drivers via regedit solve the issue (RestrictDriverInstallationToAdministrators), to change that you may follow next steps:

After installing updates released October 12, 2021 or later, you can also set RestrictDriverInstallationToAdministrators using a Group Policy, using the following instructions:
Open the group policy editor tool and go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Printers.
Set the Limits print driver installation to Administrators setting to "Disabled". This will set the registry value of RestrictDriverInstallationToAdministrators to 0.

@wrcombs - Or drag and drop the PDF file to the local computer and print it locally.

What reasons are cited when they fight you on this? This should have been scripted years ago.

Can I buy you a beer, or case,.. or....

There is such a push for 'security' over anything else that it's Not allowed to the point of when onboarding someone, things are missed (or worse; added and not needed) so you have to retouch an account more than once.

I've mentioned it since day one, made suggestions, and even found one that would cover most anything needed... It would only need to be adjusted to this environment...

It's always 'blocked' or ignored or what ever. Powershell Remote execution - even if signed - is turned off. To perform a task needed by a process we are starting (MS AutoPilot) PS is needed - by design.... So, I have to run it - one damn line at a time,.. and circumvent policies and such just to do the tasks needed. It's so seriously ridiculous to need and be told to perform a task - and can't because of the aire of security.....

Find somewhere where you want to work. Life is too short to put up with places like that.

K3B was my go-to app back in the day and it looks like it's still somewhat actively maintained

@stuartjordan I seem to recall this being one of the reasons I got away from KDE a while back. Some quick google work shows that it might be solved by using kio-fuse but YMMV.

Afghanistan's economic woes could fuel a refugee crisis impacting neighbouring countries, Turkey and Europe, the International Monetary Fund has said.
The economy will contract by up to 30% this year - which could push millions into poverty and cause a humanitarian crisis, the fund warned. The IMF said Afghanistan's neighbours would be further hit because they rely on its funds for trade. Bordering Tajikistan has said it can't afford to take in many more refugees. With foreign assets frozen and most non-humanitarian aid halted, inflows of cash to Afghanistan have all but dried up. In its regional economic outlook, the fund said: "A large influx of refugees could put a burden on public resources in refugee-hosting countries, fuel labour market pressures, and lead to social tensions, underscoring the need for assistance from the international community."

Google has unveiled its latest smartphone, containing the tech giant's first self-designed computer chip.
The Pixel 6 contains Google's "Tensor" processor, which it says enables new phone features powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning. It is also the first phone in the series with a "Pro" model, designed to compete at the high end of the market. "The whole goal when we started was to reach this point," said Rick Osterloh, Google's head of devices. "Really, this is our original vision that we're finally able to get to after building a lot of capabilities both in technology and in product development capabilities," he told the BBC.

@eleceng said in CAL Counting:

These will be device RDS CAL's and pretty much the same account logging in all the time. But we may have technicians from time to time login and open an additional session so we may need extras to cover that.

Will they be using the same systems thin clients as the non-tech users?

Yeah, what's considered allowable maliciousness in some of those posts is pretty extreme.

Such inconsistency... I got booted by them just for calling out sales dick posts.

@jaredbusch said in script to download and extract MicroSip portable:

@dashrender chocolatey can easily run as non-admin. The question is whether or not the application installs can handle that. Of course your centralized scrips for keeping things up-to-date would not get that use your space one you have to have a script to keep the user space chocolatey package up-to-date also

Yeah, I'll have to look at it - but only after someone else actually picks ownership of the package back up. The current maintainer has stated he's no longer maintaining it.

@obsolesce said in DuoLingo Challenge:

I thought about paying for DuoLingo because I can't stand the ads all the time and lack of freedom.

But lately I have been doing a lot on Anki. There's some really great decks in there. I also paired it with Mango which has been great as well. Another one that is great is Beelingual when you want to start doing more reading.

TL;DR

Anki
Mango
Beelingual

My DuoLingo stopped showing ads a while ago. No idea why.
