After over 6 straight years of actual larger-Enterprise (heavy Windows/Linux infrastructure) experience and 3 intense years of practice and self-study, I finally made MCSE: Server Infrastructure (2012 R2).

My real (relevant) experience hadn't started in a business environment until closer to 2004, but it has been a goal of mine since then.
It just feels good to have finally reached that goal in a good way.
My wife is becoming a U.S. citizen today. As well as everyone else on the bottom floor. People still coming in.
Some entertainment on the stage while everyone waits for the Oath Ceremony to begin.
I posted a guide on my blog about setting up a Fedora 26 KVM / QEMU hypervisor that uses the Kimchi-project for remote virtualization management, which includes a working web-based VM console.
Here's the link: https://www.timothygruber.com/linux/fedora-26-kvm-html5-remote-access-with-web-console-via-kimchi-part-1/
I hope it helps anyone who needs it as much as it would have helped me had I came across it a long time ago.
It's easy to create on my blog because I can copy/paste images into the editor... it's like working inside of MS Word.
I was thinking of recreating it on here for ML, but not sure if it's worth it or not, as well as the chance of hurting SEO.
Should I take the time to do it and just change the wording a bit?

I know y'all are concerned... Snapchat just went down.
Nope, the whole Snapchat company could disband and I'd never even know it (until you post about it).
@momurda said in What Are You Doing Right Now:
Ordered 2 ssd from newegg. They show up in 2 8"x4"x3" boxes which are packaged inside a 24"x18"x4" box. And lots of those airbag things.
Literally could have fit hundreds of ssd in this packaging.
Now if one doesn't work, you need to ship it back inside of a refrigerator box...

He wants something "more serious looking" what does that even mean?
I have had great experience with these:
That VMQ thing can be an issue on 1 GB NICs with out-dated firmware/drivers. The info of affected drivers and NICs and the resolution can be found here:
This is a good write-up and how to resolve it. Or you can just run firmware and driver updates.
VMQ should be disabled on 1 GB NICs. The issue with the broadcoms is that it's enabled by default, and shouldn't be.

@dashrender said in iPad 2 - are they still considered secure?:
I'm primarily asking in regards to HIPAA.More importantly than "is it secure" would be "does it meet HIPAA requirements?"
In both cases, the answer is "no". It is a HIPAA violation to use one for PHI.
Well, people are now making excuses - the data collected on them isn't PHI therefore we don't need to worry about it. /sigh.
Then the negligence law takes place which is more strict than hipaa iirc @scottalanmiller

Would you consider this a secure device today?
They are pretty shiny and slippery, so I doubt they are secure enough to ensure an unbalanced table leg doesn't slip off of it.

You just made me log in for the first time in nearly a year just to thumbs down that assclown.

Small victories in life are often the sweetest! As of about 10 AM today, I paid off my car loan. The taste of freedom being being debt-free is so nice. :D
Both our vehicles were paid off this summer. We've been eyeing the idea of purchasing a 3500 series diesel for a 5th wheel trailer.
But I ain't gonna pay $85K+ for a truck.
The used vehicle market up here is nuts right now. Any truck for sale doesn't get below 70% of retail unless it's a wreck.
And yes, it is a good feeling.
We're putting the extra cash flow into fun things with the fam.
My next goal is building some general savings. I'm putting a good bit away for retirement, but I need to increase my more liquid savings that's easily accessible in case of hardship.

Make sure you plan appropriately...
Below is best case IMO.
I'd aim to put enough away to have $3M+ minimum by 2053.

Users who can't do a proper shut down or restart of their computer. And then complaining that it's dog in winter slow.
Uptime was 22days (not the worst I've seen). Disk and Memory were at 100% usage before restart.....
This isn't always a user's fault.
F'n MS doesn't always do a full shutdown... in fact by default choosing shutdown does a fast shutdown... choosing reboot supposedly always does a full shutdown memory clear reboot whatever.. and windows resets the clock.
I never, ever shut down anything. I either hibernate or reboot. Mostly hibernate, and reboot when not given the choice (updates). So for me, I don't care what shutdown does.
@pete-s said in Use powershell to create a scheduled task to reboot computers on schedule:
For logistics, I would also place scheduled tasks that I created in their own task folder. Just like Microsoft and others have.
That way I know the tasks in there is not generated by something else.
One could also fix the description to say the source of the task. I get the appeal of placing them in their own folder nested somewhere in that mess, but it's so much easier to deal with them in the top level directory.

-Confirm:$false
Typos.....
This works...
Unregister-ScheduledTask -TaskName "Weekly Reboot" -Confirm:$false
Ohh, didn't notice the typo lol
@jaredbusch said in Unregister-ScheduledTask giving error about non-interactive mode:
Well that let it run and gave me a different error. Let me not pipe it and just use -TaskName and see what happens.
Try like this:
$task = Get-ScheduledTask -TaskName "Weekly Reboot"
$task | Unregister-ScheduledTask -Confirm:$false
That worked for me not so long ago.
