So I can just unpack the dmg file, and have an Copy job, copy the application to the Applications folder for any user. As my admin user account. All via Apple Remote Desktop.

This works without issue.

What I am trying to do is avoid having to locally download the app at all, unpack it and then have a Copy job to run. I'd like to streamline the process.

That's what the script is doing already. Making your own "sudo friendly" script for your install might make sense.

The issue is there is no way AFAIK without adding my local admin account to this group.

Which is more work than it may be worth since the existing solution works but is annoying.

@travisdh1 said in Grub Entries cleanup and maintenance:

@DustinB3403 You never touch grub yourself. You let the system take care of it for you when it adds or removes kernels.

As to removing old kernels, it depends on the distribution you use. A good distro just takes care of this for you. The annoying ones make you do it manually.

RedHat/CentOS/Fedora = automatically cleans up older kernels. You don't do anything and it will keep a sane number by default. I think it's 4 and a recovery option.

Debian/Ubuntu = keeps all kernels till you manually remove them. I forget offhand what the command is besides it's an option for apt.

This is one reason I'm happily moving things from the old rental box to my new server for my home lab. The old rental box has Ubuntu with a tiny little 256MB /boot partition. It can keep ~3 kernels, and that's it, ugh!

You can install without /boot. IIRC there is a other config change with unattended-upgrades to auto remove kernels.

You normally can, yes. Since my current home lab box is a rental, I could only choose from the options they gave me at the time. Today, they'd let you use your own iso, but still wouldn't recommend them for anything other than a test lab.

Don't have that keyboard/mouse. But I have not experienced anything like that.

@DustinB3403 Aint that the truth .
LOL I dig it

@Pete-S said in Home Security Systems using WyzeCam and PoE Splitters:

There are so many real surveillance cameras for little money that are made for the purpose already. For instance this outdoor model for less than $30:

To get real coverage you need different lenses in different applications and indoor and outdoor options as well. Installing cameras, wiring it all up and installing software and having storage, backups etc and keeping everything running is too much work to save a few bucks.

The hikvision cameras apparently are utter crap and worth avoiding.

Is SuiteCRM's Cases feature decent?

Not a sales guy, not sure how it is.

@Obsolesce said in Generating a list of Software to Reinstall on Windows 10:

I usually just copy/paste a Chocolatey install command that does it all at once. Everything else is on separate media that requires no install. Example, copy over games, import them in... such as into Steam.

I was going to mention... with Chocolatey tool choco list -lo just pipe it to a text file.

But that only gives you things installed through Chocolatey. Dustin's OP gives you everything installed through the normal Windows installer process (and registers the install).

I recall when chocolatey didn't use the windows installer process for everything - things are much better now.

It is package by package. Lots of things, through Chocolatey or not, don't use the Windows installer process.

I've not seen Chocolatey not register software installs in Windows, ever.

I have. Many times. Most of the time I think that it does, but it is not Chocolatey that does it when it does.

With what software specifically?

Try installing Sysinternal tools, it will not register at all, that is one example. You can do so with Chocolatey.

I never installed that stuff anyways. That Chocolatey doesn't is nothing new.

I thought you wanted to know which applications would do that, but I guess I read wrong.

@Pete-S said in Redundancy is building a bridge and an identical one immediately next to it:

Regarding evolution we are probably more geared towards surviving external threats than we are towards surviving internal organ failures by old age and a sedentary lifestyle.

Right, almost certainly. Partially because in the big picture, that's the bigger threat. Not in this particular moment in time, although in parts of the world that remains true. But to get to where we are, we have to be geared towards overall survival and can't change the design quickly when the situation suddenly changes.

This has been a huge issue for me, requiring additional complexity and overhead of a domain for reliably (and simply) enabling / using the "nice" features of Hyper-V.

@DustinB3403

Did you ever figure out the issue with the RX20's?

@DustinB3403 said in Hyper-V Node Failover Cluster Control:

How can I migrate my VM's from Host 1 to Host 2 and ensure that the VMs don't attempt to automatically migrate back to their preferred host?

Migration? It's definitely not automatic in the least.

Planned failover? There's a checkbox to uncheck if you don't want automatic reverse replication and the VM to automatically start up. Could that be what you meant?

Of course it is. In an actual cluster. Which involves System Center Configuraiton Manager (SCCM).

@DustinB3403 used the word cluster, but he does not have one.

Oh shit, I missed that it was about a cluster. I was thinking Hyper-V Manager, right-click, live migration. Totally spaced there.

Yeah, that was my point, it is not a cluster.

@DustinB3403 said in With ESXi Licensing what happens if I let it lapse:

Microsoft started pulling Security patches off of their servers after your contract expires but the platform is still supported.

Microsoft no longer provides patches for XP Server 2003 unless you pay them a lot of extra money. It's basically a license with security updates for a fixed interval that can be extended for a ton of money...

It's been a while, so I missed some. Here's a much better break-down:

@scottalanmiller Yeah I check daily for updates to make sure my things are up to par and was surprised when I saw such a huge list of updates waiting.

Home PBX

I was definitely considering setting up a home PBX but I don't know if I want to subscribe to any actual phone numbers

You can learn a lot without doing that. Although voip.ms makes it SO cheap.

And you can make calls without buying a phone number at all. Just pay per use.

What option is that? I don't recall seeing that (granted this was some time ago)

VoIP.ms has never required purchasing a number to have an account and setup a trunk.

You simply have no way to receive calls from the PSTN.

Ah.

Honestly, this is all kinda silly.
You are "creating" a problem that simply doesn't exist!!

Cockpit terminal tab, Copy & paste in a Windows 10 vm works.
I just tried it again in v1809 (OS Build 17763.107)

No, he is not. Also, no, it does not "just work" as you say. If it did, the post would never have been made.

I consistently have random issues using copy and paste into a web interface terminal. Both Cockpit and UNMS. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not.

I do it little enough, that i never care to toubleshoot it.

I'll second this - The troubles in pasting into a web based console are real - and sometimes seemingly random.

I am willing to blame Windows on this problem - but the problem is real.

Reminds me of watching earlier versions of ASIMO.
