Music educator who has completed his transition into IT. I want to know all t3h thingz. Alas, one lifetime isn't long enough to learn everything, so I'll settle for what can be shoved into my brain during this life time.
I plan on mainly posting content on Saturdays or Sundays, but for the opening week, I made a few things.
Click over to the channel and check it out, should the below interest you.
I've never had much use for Cortana, other than practicing my disable-and-remove-useless-programs skill.
I finally got around to getting a little WordPress site going in my lab, and I've decided to make it the new home of www.eddiejennings.net. Enjoy!
Over time I'll try to find good ways of making some content from previous iterations of my blog (and podcast) available.
Sometimes for malware, you have to nuke and start over. :(
It cannot be stated enough how important community is. Since joining ML in 2016, all of you have effectively been my IT mentors. :D
Hard drive from xbyte arrived a day early. :D

Just signed a litter accepting a promotion effective 9/22. Not bad for a Friday :D
Always a nice feeling when you're still on the right track after reviewing wedding and honeymoon expense numbers. :)
@gjacobse said in Does a script imply Automation?:
Simply thus
Does a script imply automation?
No. Often a script is used as a tool to create automation, and usually one would write a script with the end goal of eventually automating something. However, just a script alone in a vacuum does not imply automation.

Thanks for the replies everyone. Another stupid question: Should I be installing the workstation version of the OS instead of server?
Just stick with server.
If you do end up needing additional things that are included with the workstation, they can all be added latter. That is another one of those huge if things, very rarely would they be needed.
I'll try to confirm that with Dell. They are slow on the replies.
Keep in mind that these are not different versions as Microsoft treats different versions of things. All they are is a different set of applications/programs installed by default.
I did notice that on a test run of RHEL. Went with server, got no GUI (as expected). Would I have a GUI with workstation? I do need to be able to make it go and maintain it (it's production stuff), I will have server instances in my work lab for the ongoing learning.
You can choose to have a GUI with the server depending on chosen installation options. By default choosing workstation will include Gnome desktop.

Watching the Fedora 35 go/no-go IRC meeting.
I wish I had time to watch stuff like that. I just got out of my 4th hour+ meeting of the day.
Well, watching is doing work and occasionally looking at my non-work laptop's IRC window.

As I understand it, Docker comes into play after the OS. Between Docker Enterprise Edition and Community Edition, is one supported and not the other for Cyber Recovery? That answer will narrow which of the OSes you pick from the list you gave.

Things with which I must comply for any server configuration. Otherwise, I get to go through a waiver process, which is tedious.
@jaredbusch said in Indentation Style:
@pmoncho tab indentation needs to die in nuclear fire.
Thankfully, modern IDE systems like Visual Studio Code and others all auto swap a tab for 4 spaces by default.
Personally, I prefer a 2 space indentation, but 4 seems to be the most common.
I agree on the demise of tabs. Training on Ansible over the last year has solidified my dislike of tabs.
