    • RE: Finding specific file type that has no extension

      Is there anything inside the file that can tell you? For example, if you write a script that cats each file or whayever and looks for specific string, then moves it if it matches.

      I don't know what those files are, so ya. Just thinking out loud without any info.

    • RE: Obtaining hardware from terminated remote employee

      This is why you use MDM Solutions for mobile devices. You remote wipe the device,disable accounts, etc. Then offer a buyout option, file police report in their local or just cut your loss.

      Is there actually anything in the company policy signed by the user regarding company owned hardware?

    • RE: Group Policy points to wrong DC

      First of all, you need to have sites properly set up if you have more than one DC. Replication can be quick between DCs in the same site. Your client devices will use the DC that is in their same site, and if there's more than one DC in it's site, the best DC will be chosen... which leads to the second point.

      Secondly, there are no "Backup DCs". It's not something you use like that, and it really makes sense why. It's a HA system by design, think CDN style if you see what I mean.

      @Fredtx said in Microsoft plans on retiring the MCSA,MCSD,MCSE certifications in June 30,2020:

      I personally made a decision a few weeks ago to start putting my studying into the RHCA as opposed to the MCSA. For one, Linux seems to be more fun as I've been playing with it in my home lab, and two, there is not that many people who know Linux. Glad I made that decision.

      Yup, plenty of Linux jobs / roles out there for sure!

      Do exactly what you enjoy!

      Scott where are you getting the AAD pricing from? Does AAD have some cloud computing non user based pricing? I’m only aware of the $4/u/m option ( or more)

      He was referring to AAD DS, which was correct pricing for just that.

    • RE: Chromium memory usage

      Here is all the browsers I have, each with 30 ML homepage tabs open, not signed in.
      Edge Chromium has Lastpass and ublock extensions installed, so that's running for each page, as well as me being signed in with sync and all that. (my main browser)
      FireFox only has Lastpass installed.
      IE, Edge, and Google Chrome have no extensions installed.
      That may make all the difference, I did not test Edge or FF without any extensions.

    • RE: Questions on Dell XPS 13 2018 year model

      I use this 61 watt apple charger for all my USB-C charging needs.

      It even works for my P1, but only slow charges that, but as you can see, USC-C dishes out high voltage and at 3 amps, as well as lower voltage for phones.

    • RE: RDP to RDP to RDP?

      @Pete-S said in RDP to RDP to RDP?:

      Is there a smarter way to connect through several RDP sessions instead of doing each one manually?

      So if you want to go:
      host1 -> host2 -> host3

      Is there a way to do this in one step instead of first connecting to host1 then from there start a connection to host2 and then from there start a connection to host3?

      I assume the customer's data is the responsibility of the customer and not zoho's.

      BTW, I found this but it doesn't contain any country-code TLDs at all.
      https://www.cloudflare.com/tld-policies/

      So I don't know if they are somewhere else or if Cloudflare can't support them at all. Maybe you guys, who do this stuff everyday knows?

      That looks like the list of what they support.

      Never tried to deal with it myself. everything I control is .com/net/.org

      Yes, those are the classics. I see some new stuff as well like .io which the only one on the list above but everything else is not. Well, Cloudflare is out for us then as a registrar.

      Just use namecheap and then change nameserver to whatever you want, such as CloudFlare.

      They don't have country-code TLDs, such as .it for instance. But Godaddy has so we'll stick to them, at least as a registrar.

      Ah, my go-to is either namecheap or google domains. But yeah, if they don't have them they don't have them. What can ya do. I never looked for .it, so didn't know.

    • RE: Moving from Physical AD/Data Server to Office365

      For your local devices, you can use only Azure AD for logging in to your PCs. You don't need local AD for that. You also don't need Intune or anything for just basic oversight.

    • RE: Any good getting started with Hugo resources

      @stacksofplates said in Any good getting started with Hugo resources:

      How they want you to do it works like this:

      1. mkdir -p mysite/themes
      2. git clone theme into themes
      3. cp -R themes/theme/examplesite/* .

      #3 is obv assuming you're in the site directory. You're done. Now just edit your config.

      You can also do hugo new site and it gives you a directory structure but if you're using the themes example folder it's not really needed.

      Yes, that worked. Thanks! Up and running "proprly" now.

      Could you explain how the theme updates work then? So whenever there's a theme update to, for example, config.toml, my site isn't going to use the new one since it's copied above, same with other files... Do I have to manually updated this stuff after finding out somehow there was an update?

      No the override fills always override. It's just any Hugo specific changed would need to be added.

      I see. Still better than not at all. So I'll take it.

      Anyways, need to make the changes to other sites. Luckily it's all simply laid out and only takes a minute.

    • RE: Zoom meeting access:

      @scottalanmiller said in Zoom meeting access::

      That's a bizarre requirement for the most basic feature, I feel. Like I don't want to be signed in to Zoom, or to have an account, to use someone else's teleconference system. Nor do I want to install an app for it for sure. It all feels very aggressive when they could easily have just provided an anonymous join from browser option.
      Especially given that Zoom has been caught selling personal data, this feels like they are trying to collect data that I'm not okay with them having.

      I agree. This is also why we at my current employment are not allowed to use Zoom for work, as it doesn't meet our security or GDPR requirements. It's been like that for years AFAIK.

    • RE: How can I scale an image in a Hugo page

      @JaredBusch said in How can I scale an image in a Hugo page:

      Currently, markdown does not natively have a way to scale images.
      https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#img

      This seems to be an issues for me with using Hugo, I have an existing site that I am converting and the images are scaled with the normal <img> tag.

      Searching the net, it seems a lot of tools have added functionality to markdown to support image scaling, but it seems Hugo's implementation of Markdown has not.

      I tried to just use the HTML element in the Hugo page, but it was not rendered.

      Can you "inspect element" in your browser of the image you are talking about and screenshot the whole hierarchy and I'll see if I can get the CSS going that you can add to the custom.css file in your other thread.
