@CCWTech said in More toxic clients / people:

It's so weird, especially after learning other cultures now that I don't live in the USA to watch how people act in the USA.

Such entitlement. It's nuts.

Yeah, you rarely get that same weird entitled attitude anywhere else.

@Mario-Jakovina said in Is it legal? Windows 10 or 11 as a server:

Why would anyone "be happy to report client" to any other vendor (here Microsoft) for violating any agreements between you customer and other vendor?

That's not what is being reported. The thing being discussed is violating the contract between the client and the vendor, for which @CCWTech is a legal representative. This is a business partner relationship and not reporting it would be a violation of the partnership.

Think of it like if you and a friend opened a cafe together. You own 90%, your partner owns 10%. A thief steals from you but only your partner witnesses it. They steal enough to qualify as grand theft (this isn't a petty situation like a candy bar or a coffee, this is more like someone stealing the espresso machine) and your partner knows about it. Would you be okay with your partner not telling you and not informing the accountants to write off the loss? Of course not, he'd be helping steal if he did. He has a business responsibility legally and ethically. You don't have to prosecute the thief if you decide not to, but you have a legal right to know that it happened and your accounting team needs that information for tax reasons and other data analytics.

@CCWTech said in Resume work:

@travisdh1 I've been searching on Indeed, Monster, Linkedin, and DICE. But so far I have only had 2 interviews. One went well, made it to final rounds. The other went really well, and they said they thought I deserved more money than the job offered and wanted to see if I was interested in other higher paying jobs with the company...I said yes, but not to count me out for this one. Then I got the "you haven't been selected" letter.

This was from a fortune 500 company so it wasn't "Jimbo's or Pat's". I'm really trying nearly anything really.

I get called by 'recruiters' in India who can barely speak english but not much else. I guess it's a tough market right now.

It's funny, I'm not used to applying for a job and not getting it. In the past if I applied for 3 places I usually had offers from 2.

All job listing sites are going to have more jobs that either aren't real jobs or have already been filled. If you pay attention, you'll find the same job listed on every single one. It's just a mess, without any way to weed out what are actual active listings.

I've mostly had recruiters come to me, but when I was applying I had a decent hit rate.

My advice is stop spamming out a general resume and tailor it towards the position you actually want. Basically apply for less jobs, but tailor your resume towards them. Also study up on anything you may not be familiar with when approached for the interview..

No problem spinning up virtual lab to learn about a product for an interview you want to nail. You could say something like I've used product A, but have also extensively tested X (their product). Then go into detail about some things about X to show you've actually used it. Say something like I'm not super familiar with X, but from my experience with it. It's quite intuitive and easy use. Then state your lab project and some challenges or accomplishments achieved during it.

AFAIK, Even VNC doesn't work on Wayland yet.

Nor does MeshCentral

Really? Now I need to go try that when I have a minute.

I just confirmed that mine is working on the default Fedora 37 desktop using both Firefox and Chromium.

Wayland with MeshCentral?

You SURE you are on Wayland?

Isn't Wayland the default for Fedora now? I'm using the stock Fedora, so I'm thinking I am.

Double check that. Maybe you updated from something with X.org.

Fresh install. Wiped root before installing (it was way behind, no point in upgrading).

Do you have NVIDIA drivers on the system? Those will revert you back to X.Org

Yep, sure do. Guess it's not wayland then.

You can check with

loginctl

and

'''
loginctl show-session -p Type <sessionid>

loginctl show-session -p Type 2
Type=wayland

Well shoot, are my Nvidia drivers not working? The more I find out, the more things I need to look at/fix.

What do you have it set to use?

I was under the impression that if you install the NVidia drivers, that you would wind up with X11 and not Wayland.

Found the problem and fixed it.

For anyone else having this problem:

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

Change this line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
To: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset"

sudo update-grub

Has anyone played with Windows Defender Application Control, specifically Group Policy to turn it on for each workstation?

I have a request from a client to do this, but I am very leery of using group policy for something like this.

Are they all running Win 10 Enterprise?

For sure no... Win 10 Pro.

Then it won't work as it's a requirement.

I think specifically it's using Group Policy for WDAC that's enterprise edition only, right?

Yes, you can use it in Pro, just not enforced by a GPO

@krzykat This wouldn't have been that. Was just worth getting an RMA and starting fresh.

minfree Defines the amount of free space left in the LVM volume group pve. With more than 128GB storage available the default is 16GB, else hdsize/8 will be used.

This is space to leave behind for snapshots. They suggest 1/8th the size of your hard drive.

I do old school and change my keyboard layout to LATAM type and it works fine.

@marcinozga said in Power in Qatar:

I checked few power supplies in office pcs, every single one accepts 100-240VAC 50-60Hz input. So they will work anywhere. I haven't seen one in years that would be limited to 110 or 230 (or others) only.

Nice, thanks!

Kids school had sent out notice of issue and shortly after that it should be resolved.

Sad- one service “took out” school systems across the US.

This is the centralized world we're moving to.

Decentralized is really the system we want.

Why? Decentralized means more, smaller outages but doesn't solve the fundamental issues. In fact, it would make them worse. Decentralized outages don't make headlines, but they cause more downtime to the end users. More downtime, with far less ability to point to and resolve. They require vastly more resources so the ability to repair is much lower.

I moved a test AP to 4.3.28.11361 yesterday. No issues experienced. I moved some additional ones this AM, and still no issue with DHCP like with the 4.3.24.x version

@scottalanmiller said in AVImark support has stated that running virtual servers can result in a 40-50% data loss or complete destruction of your server.:

and we just left that as it was (having learned about it), that's establishing that that is official.

Bolded bit is the thing you are glossing over.

This entire thing is a rant by @CCWTech

No where in here is there proof that anyone, above the support tech at the vendor, has been made aware of anything.

At this point there is nothing but an unsubstantiated claim by @CCWTech the vendor knows what the support tech said. Yes, absolutely, if it is known and not corrected, this would be shit, but no one, in this thread, knows this.

Is this a shit ass vendor with a bad product? Maybe, hell probably even. But I won't take the word of anyone the just comes on here and rants without any proof.

@gjacobse said in New user in Raspberry Pi - Raspberry Pi OS has no programs:

Just for reference (mine) what are you using the rPi for? I have two rPi 3b+ and 1 rPi Zero running currently;

rPi 3b+ running Diet-Pi hosting APCups, CUPS, and Unifi Controller rPi 3b+ running Raspbian for HamRadio activies (using Build-A-Pi found on YouTube) rPi Zero - DMR radio hotspot (transceiver to internet gateway)

Still could use one or two more

Desktops

I would go with the rPi 4 as a desktop... bit more power and more memory..

That's the first model that offers a real desktop option. No one has suggested trying anything else.

Hmmm ... this from a little over a year ago.

Same "problem".

Routing is not magic. Errors happen.

That may be so, but the expectation is that the same errors would not happen over and over again.

FFS It is not the same. Are you stupid?

Jesus, calm down. No one pissed in your corn flakes...

No kidding. Don't go all Boomtown Rats on me. 😛
