OK,

some news here after full rebuild of server.

MOBO failure was an extra, still VMs do not reboot.

well, not exactly...

we have installed some windows core, some ubuntu bare server, some windows full gui, some ubuntu server with full MATE desktop.

now the "barebone" VMs do not reboot, they just shutdown.
The full bloated VMs restart nicely!

I think this is something to do with the speed of the reboot cycle... but even my reseller tech ignores what to do... HPE is finally thinking to pass me to L2 support.

project is delayed at least of 1 week wrt deadlines (and I've kept 1 extra week at the time, just in case)

I don't understand why they didn't do it like the Lumia 950xl... iris scanner. Infrared to light up the eyes, another to take the pic.

they also have it! fingerprint, face, iris, pin, sequence... they only miss the list of things in your fridge

Then how can a regular picture fool it? Seems like a software issue and not hardware.

I mean: you can either auth yourself via face or any other solution. Samsung AFAIK doesn't implement so named pure biometric 2 factor-auth. You have just to avoid face and fingerprint (as it is too close to camera). just use iris or sequence/pin...

I own a xiaomi redmi 4 and to be honest rear-fingerprint scanners are a bit of a pain... I alternate fingerprint to sequences...

"just in time"

facial recognition IS subject to photo based tampering. I remember few years ago people was studing if a way was there to avoid this. but this is a well known problem with this approach.

Some months ago I tried samba 4 as an AD... In the end I did it with plain linux: zentyal kept chrashing at some automated step. Nethserver was not out.
,I ve abandoned the project when I hit major print server issues. Also rsat was not really full working: I did a lot of cmd line with win10 clients

for curiosity sake: who is actually using dragonfly bsd and why?

this should help rebalance medians per country.

IF I've understood, Italy is something like at 63% of richness compared to USA. So it is expected that our salaries are less good than USA ones.

If this datum is correct on the average, my median here should be around 70-80k$ * 0.63, which leads to 44-50 k$.

translating at change rate € vs $, it's 37-47 k€.

nowdays I'm definitively a bit over. This makes sense and fits with my previous figures. Anyway I agree that here big companies generate a shift, as the perception in SMB is that the range is lowered by a 7k€ (give one take one).

In the past I was probably in the left tail of the bell (around 35k€). But I'm cosidering going that back. More fun and curriculum growth than now. And my home bills seem to fit in that lower area.

@scottalanmiller said in Salary, Are You At Your Areas Median:

NOVA

what is NOVA?

What? In Italy an average IT guy is on a gross salary <40.000€ even 50.000 is a top notch salary. A lot of guys are well under 35.000

@Eltolargo said in how do you reboot your linux VMs in hyper-v?:

@matteo-nunziati that sounds like a pain. Hopefully the issue is resolved after the changes.

Hope so :s

LATEST NEWS:

yesterday, after a number of tests VM did freeze at reboot command rather than shutdown. As a last resort I've chosen to format SD/rest bios and restart from scratch.

My installation procedure did not work anymore... hell 2 times was right the third has failed...

called HPE this morning, they have asked me to do some tests via Intelligent Provisioning. IP. chrashed with missing linux kernel file (IP is based on linux)

they will start mobo substitution procedures tomorrow morning.

F*#@ wasted 15 days.

15 D.A.Y.S.

ever seen a failing server MOBO? I've. And I've provisioned just 3 servers in my life!

bah... what do you think about?

latest news: my pc with hyper-v correctly reboots everything! everytime! vene without latest kernel/hyper-v stuff in VM!

definitively a platform issue. last resort: reinstall all.

Are you running Server 2016 on your PC?

It's windows 10, so yes, in theory, it is the same hyper-v stack.
Honestly the only thing I can think of is issues with ACPI with the cpu. I've even disabled any energy saving but nothing!
if I keep the VM idling too much it stops and not reboots... any VM.

usually aliasing is used to assign different roles to your mail box. as instance , when we send invoices to customers we do it from our account mail but it is aliased "invoices" this allows us to better track things.

@scottalanmiller said in Gmail Aliases:

It's not so much an alias as a catch all. It always uses your original address in the name.

with gsuite you can actually do other: my mail is just an alias to the tech office mail as example.
my systems use an alias to send logs (it is something like: robot@...).

the plus trick is just a basic one.

we use gsuite (paid version of google stuff) at work and we extensively use aliases for automatic labelling and classification. this is really useful!

@Tim_G said in Public Cloud vs. Hosted Hyperconvergence Costing Project:

Actually, you can do a 2-node cluster with Windows Server 2016 and S2D to get HA and redundancy...

is this production ready for real?

never seen a lot of fujitsu here, but - in theory- even they are comparable players.

consider that if dell does something, hpe copies and vice-versa.
and of course even lenovo will align.

they all basically sell mirrored products for the most. at least when I've checked I've always been able to identify a really similar product from each major vendor.
