All of the hypervisors are built for this. It's the storage and clustering that may or may not be built for this. As a rule, highest performance systems are not clustered at all, the can't be. Clustering takes a performance hit.

But in the extreme performance space products like VMware and Starwind are the top dogs. Both have multiple solutions, but they are using tech like memory sharing, localized data, NVMEoF, log structuring, and others to do things that Gluster just can't do. So much so that products like Gluster sometimes use these techs on top to accelerate them (example: Starwind makes a CEPH accelerator platform.)

You almost had it. It should be...

find /Volumes -not -name something

@scottalanmiller said in Linux CP command - Estimate MBs:

You can use cp and see progress using a separate tool, like progress. But cp itself can't do it.

Gotcha.

Okay so figured it out with this guide.

From Windows administrative Powershell

ssh-keygen
type C:\Users\<username>\.ssh\id_rsa.pub | ssh user@linuxserver 'cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys'

Exit administrative Powershell

Open Powershell

ssh user@linuxserver

WTF is up with the use of the word "Sources"

VatesFr does this as well with Xen Orchestra.

It's dumb and makes no sense to an English speaker, as it's clearly wrong.

While I found where OSX stores the user printer preferences, but copying a "working version of preferences" to the user workstation and directory doesn't set the preferences.

Still investigating. May require a restart when doing this remotely. . .

Full system restart or just the cups service?

Just did a full system restart and no change. While the plist file is there, and the user has owner access to it, the changes don't appear to take effect.

Not sure why.

@dafyre said in SSH-Copy-ID Being prompted for password:

What I've seen is that ssh-copy-id will request your password since the remote machine doesn' thave you ID. After entering your password, it transfers the id, and you should be good to go.

Which password, the password for the local server that I'm running the copy from, the user password for that server?

The user password for the remote server.

That makes literally no sense, as it asks for the remote computer credentials after the 3rd Password prompt. . .

@shortstack said in Saltstack and Brew Casks:

@DustinB3403 i am also wondering what the workaround for this issue is, re: salt minion executing brew installs. did you ever figure out a clean way to get brew working, maybe runas a different user?

I haven't had the chance to get back into this, other more pressing issues so I just went on with my day.

Sorry

@DustinB3403 said in Fedora Salt Master - New installation:

And really, all I'm looking for is a convenient way setup my user workstations, and update them without the Apple overhead, including with brew commands.

This is my ML How Tos are better 🙂

I looked but didn't find one that was current.

Yeah, not sure that there is one. On Fedora 28 it was broken. On Fedora 30 I think it is just "dnf install salt-master -y" and you are done. So nothing to write up.

I think we are running Salt on Ubuntu now because of the breakage issues on Fedora.

And arguing about the word "critical".

Specifically

"Critical" means everything outside "critical" is OK from the sources. So it's like "critical" is even more a niche than "any" production usage. That's why I think this wording is not fit: every production load (ie in a company) makes sense. Hobbyist is clearly not related to "production", that's why "critical" word isn't needed here

Critical in the business sense, means I need support, supporting it yourself is not an option.

That's the CDN, fonts, in thread images. No idea what the last ones are.

Then it's smart to block the shit out of those.

Oh, Alamy is a stock image source. It's providing the picture of the gate in the field. NOT something you want blocked, it's a meme in this case.

But the internet would be better without memes

Obviously the paths would change based on where they actually live and since I want this to live outside of an individual user, pointing to the user paths would make no sense in a production case.

Also on WSL, if you go into /mnt you can get a list of all of the disks that are mounted on your Workstation/Server.
In the case of my workstation I only have the 1 disk, so only c is listed. Severs would likely have other drives.

A simple scheduled task to run a simple PoSh script would be easiest IMO.

@IRJ said in Evaluation time of year - self evaluation:

Think of it this way.... You get to put focus with your evaluation on specific areas you care about. Sure they ask you general questions, but most of the time they are very open ended and you can really take them anywhere you want.

You can, yes, but most of us aren't good at sales, and all that's really all these things are. Selling them on what you've done over the past year.

Self marketing is extremely important. If you cannot master it, you will never get paid what you are worth. It's like job hunting, the minor details can mean the difference between $70k and $130k salary.

I personally like to pick what the evaluation will be about, and move things in the direction I want. For example, you can show that you've mastered your current role by showing vast improvement in specific areas over the past year where you have implemented automation of some sort.

@RojoLoco said in Adobe After Effects - Preview is not real time:

@scottalanmiller mid to late 90s. absolutely. I graduated with my audio degree end of '96, literally EVERY VENDOR had Apple's ball juice conspicuously on their chin. According to "the industry" at that time, nobody could record multitrack audio, use photoshop/after effects / premiere etc, or do any kind of multimedia production without a Mac. My personal mission since then has been to shit all over that mindset.

I know what you're talking about. At the end of the nineties I worked with a company that was running Protools on Windows NT and not Mac. It was rather unusual. System could do 64 tracks of 24 bit @ 48kHz on a Pentium II full of effects, but that was in large part because audio processing was offloaded to DSP cards. That's Digital Signal Processors for those who don't know. Audio tracks where recorded to SCSI disks. I remember it was a very stable and good system but it was extremely picky on hardware.

Worth noting that using rsync worked very well, but there were issues with the Outlook profile on the existing user workstation and the end result.

Not a huge issue for us as everything is stored in O365, but worth being mindful of if your email was hosted locally.

Also because of username convention changes, I had to set the ownership of the user profile to match the new shortened name.

Have never looked at that.

Fixed a small typo.

This is what I think we would need, but I'm neither inclined to figure that out, nor do I want any additional equipment (VM or otherwise [MS recommends physical for this?!]) to do this. . .
