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).

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.

Jaja, yay I got sort of referenced
The "weird systems users": hobbyists who offer virtualization to non-profit and charity users, using old, out-of-maintenance hardware that had been inherited or passed on to them. Enthusiast users, with no funds to buy licenses?
@scottalanmiller said in Send an Email via SMTP from Command Line with cURL:
--user '[email protected]:password'
Might not want to put username & password in a script if scripting this. At least put them as environment variables if nothing else. Also not a great option, but better than plain text in script.
@gjacobse said in PS ISE: Unsaved Projects:
Right now, I'll have to pencil GIT onto the project list. I just don't have the bandwidth to investigate it right now. If the unsaved scripts are lost,... they are lost - my own fault and I recognize that. I had some hope that I could recover them.
I just have to much going on to take on another project I can't truly invest time into. If I start something, I'll just have to ensure I save it - I think I saw something about making PS:ISE autosave....
Thank you for the suggestions and recommendations.
Just use vscode. Hell, even notepad++ does autosave more reliably than ISE. But I've never lost anything I didn't save while working in vscode.

Uber Breach 2022
The critical vulnerability that granted the attacker such high levels of access was hardcoded credentials in a PowerShell script
Argh, why the heck is there Windows development on a platform like Uber? And who approved THAT GIT checkin?
No idea. Android and ios only AFAIK. No need for Windows. But I have a feeling that one who bakes credentials into scripts would do it in any scripting language. You'd also think a vulnerability like that would have been found during scanning. They must not have any devsecops or code scanning tools in place.
@ElecEng I used Dell tape drives a lot in the last decade and never had issues.

I just needed to reinstall the OS on two personal devices, one Windows and one Ubuntu. I did them at the same time and Windows 11 installs SO MUCH FASTER than Ubuntu now. Nearly twice as fast. Since when did that happen? The Ubuntu device hardware is much better too...
Did you do minimal or normal on Ubuntu? Ubuntu is massive compared to Windows in default applications. Basically one is full of apps and one has none. So if you do default installs, to do apples to oranges, you'd need to also install MS Office and loads of other tools onto Windows to be a comparison.
I did each install using default settings.
Doing a minimal install with Ubuntu would suck so much, yeah it'd be faster, but then I'd spend hours installing crap+drivers that "should just be there and work" with a Desktop OS like it is with Windows 11. (with the exception of Office, but that's a fast install, too, if it was needed)
The Ubuntu device was for me, the Windows device was for someone else to run some things that don't work well (without a mega time suck) on a Linux desktop OS.

@JasGot ok cool, gotcha, it seemed the other way and just wanted to clarify.
