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.

Happy holidays all!

Jupiter
Christmas night, 2022-12-25.
Alt: 38°

Less than ideal seeing conditions and lots of light pollution, but was still able to bring out some detail!
Jupiter was 456,134,146 miles from earth when I took the photo. It took almost 41 minutes for light to travel from Jupiter to my camera. Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun, has 80 moons, and is large enough to fit about 1,300 Earths inside.

Setup:
5" SCT + 2x Barlow, ASI224MC @ ~2500mm f/20
iOptron mount, tracking: mount-only
FireCapture, shutter 13ms / gain 221 / histogram ~64%
20% best of 4k light frames
AS!3 + RegiStax6

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).

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:

Got a client running Windows 10, and every time they restart the computer, it resets everything on the desktop - Background is wiped, apps and programs are removed, files are removed, the only things that stay are the recycling bin, and Edge. I have no idea what is causing this, and I have no idea where to start. Anyone seen this before?

Just reload it with Win11 or latest Win10?

Would love to, but don't have the ability to.

Care to elaborate?

Windows XP activation algorithm cracked after 21 years

New Fujifilm XApp

Offers Smooth Connection, Speed, and Activity Tracking

Releases tomorrow, 2023-05-25!

@WrCombs said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

Does anyone know what could be causing that?

Google.
Google Chrome is one of the worst.

Try Edge.

@scottalanmiller said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

We are back after the big time update. We are on Lunar Lobster now. And on NodeBB 3!

It seems way faster now.

Of course, there are likely more products now because ChatGPT cutoff is in 2021, but you can ask the same stuff with others that have current info, or feed it some links that compare all the modern.

IMO, it's time to get on the train or leave the station to make room for those who will... if you know what I mean.
