I think every AP they have can work in bridge mode. I have 2 Nanostations M5 between 2 buildings, in bridge mode, but each can connect to any wifi in range.

Virtualize the server. Then your entire backup/restore procedure involves 1 file, with the right backup solution. Veeam and Unitrends both have free editions available.

@marcinozga I saw only in Facebook​ and Whatsapp only.Seeing an accident in front is horrible than hearing the news Right!

Lol, that explains it. Facebook or Whatsapp users aren't the brightest, so if it's IT professional posting about their infection there, no surprise they got owned.

Don't you need to click on something or run it to actually get infected? Why would you allow such activity on servers? No email or web browsing should be permitted there, period.

Use it in safe mode. You don't need to know the password. I've used it countless of times, and I never messed up any of the machines.

@guyinpv said in What's the current "standard" for a media server setup these days?:

"CouchPotato (CP) is an automatic NZB and torrent downloader. You can keep a "movies I want"-list and it will search for NZBs/torrents of these movies every X hours. Once a movie is found, it will send it to SABnzbd or download the torrent to a specified directory."

That doesn't sound illegal at all.

Just because the software is there, it doesn't mean you have to use it. Opera browser has built-in torrent client, yet that doesn't mean it will be used to download illegal content.

I haven't tried it personally but I have major part of standalone packages they use running on my file server at home. This gives you pre-built VM, you just need a host to deploy it to. So another vote for Plex here.

I have both. RPi is just horrible, lagging makes playing impossible. And once you add all components, you're probably paying more that Classic. If you can find one of course...

You need to stop worrying about additional cost, it's not your money. The company has decided, period. Use this as an opportunity to learn some new stuff. And if you have any influence in purchasing decisions, why won't you recommend switches that you want to play with? You're leaving in about a year, so why would you care if they buy POE switches or use power bricks.

rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/*

and this one if there are any weird issues

rm -rf /System/Library/Caches/*

Don't reinvent the wheel. Install CMS of your choice and be done with it, Drupal, Joomla, Wordpress for example. I'm most familiar with Drupal, and with Webform module you can create any form with any field types you want. Or even use Google Forms and embed it in existing website.

'Cards Against Humanity' Creator Vows To Buy And Publish Congress's Internet History

It's funny that there are only republicans who took money to pass this.

You're surprised? We may be getting a bit too political here though.

Well surprised on two things, one only republicans are listed. Cause I'm sure there was a dem that took some money, and two that none of the dems are listed.

Which is a bit insane.

If dems had the majority, this bill would probably have not come up for a vote. This is what you get when you vote republican, bunch of old farts that can hardly turn on the computer making decisions that defy all logic and benefit corporate overlords.
Btw, the votes were along the party lines on this 50:48.

@stess said in Salary:

Still... not bad for someone without high level certs (CCNA, MS, redhat, etc) and no degree.

Don't stress over certs or degree. All are useless and quickly obsolete, perhaps only Redhat has a value.

Nope, not even close.

If that's all that needs to be done on the computer, what OS training is needed?

You sir, obviously have better users than I do, if you can ask that question.

Most problems with computer use stems from users fear of breaking things, at least in my experience. When I get new user, I always inform him/her there's nothing they can do to the computer, short of hitting it with baseball bat, that I cannot fix. It only gets easier from there.

Then they download ransomware and prove you wrong.

Wipe the PC and/or server and restore backups.

Have you thought about getting mac for this? From what you're describing they'll be doing very basic editing, something iMovie can handle easily. We're actually doing some similar editing at work currently, and there was no comparable software available on Windows. And if they need more in the future, they can move to Final Cut Pro.

Or, you can often get a much more powerful PC for much less the price and use the difference to get some entry level video editing software.

Add cost to train users and price difference disappears. Add same quality display, as in iMac for example, and mac is suddenly cheaper.

Users would have to be trained either way, so that's a cost that exists in both instances, training a user for both the OS and the video editing will cost more then just the software. As this is an entry level build high quality monitors would most likely be a waste. Save the money and move to a high quality monitor when the need arises, the need may never come up.

Not necessarily. OS training can come down to launching application, if that's all users really need to do, so it's really 0 in any case. And I would like to see a video editing software on Windows that's as easy and as powerful as iMovie, for simple editing of course. We've spent weeks evaluating different software on Windows, vs I think less than an hour to get a user to start using iMovie, a user that has never used mac before.

I'm not convinced. I've found OSX to be pretty bothersome for most users moving from a Windows environment, granted these aren't the most savvy users but it seems to be a pretty constant thing. Both of our examples are anecdotal evidence of course.

iMovie is powerful agreed, still not convinced it is the only option in that market. Windows Movie Maker can do a lot of the same things, even if it isn't as pretty. Corel has an entry level software for $100 or so that I've used in the past that will do basically everything iMovie will do.

Try to imagine the workflow. User logs in to the computer (identical process on most systems) -> user launches application (more or less identical) -> user uses the application -> user closes application (more or less identical) -> user logs off (more or less identical).

If that's all that needs to be done on the computer, what OS training is needed?

Because I hate Apple

Well, I hate Microsoft, yet I support it at work. It's not about our personal feelings, but what's right for the business.
