Its near the bottom of the page that says "Symbolic Link Folder Redirection Script"

Will read that..

My script updated, not tested yet.

$UserName = Read-Host "Enter UserName"
$CreateNextCloudFolder = Read-Host "Is this a new Nextcloud user Y/N?"

$FolderList = "Desktop,Documents,Downloads,Favorites,Music,Pictures,Videos"
$FoldderArray = $FolderList.split(",")

ForEach($Folder in $FolderArray) {
    If($CreateNextCloudFolder -like "y") {
        New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path "C:\Users\$UserName\Nextcloud\$Folder" -Force
    }
    Remove-Item -Path "C:\Users\$UserName\$Folder" -Force -Confirm
    New-Item -ItemType Junction -Path "C:\Users\$UserName" -Name "$Folder" -Target "C:\Users\$UserName\Nextcloud\$Folder" -Force
}

I never thought of using PowerShell native commands to create the Junction point.
I've been using cmd.exe /c mklink /J within the powershell script to create the them.

Right after LeBron passed Kobe for third place. I took this screenshot of the all time NBA scoring leaders a day before the accident happened.

In my PS scripts, I try not to ever include any non-PS.

Its a habit that I'm working on.

Reorganizing my Bitwarden items.

The last time I tried copy and paste it worked.

Farming Simulator 19 is free on Epic

With all these free Windows games, makes me consider getting a Windows computer.

@Obsolesce said in Orchestrate and control many web sites:

There's no system in which to install the Salt-Minion client I'm guessing.

In that case, if SSH is available, Ansible would be my choice.

Or just find a way to play then on Linux. I'm collecting for later.

I'm collecting for later too. Another game my kid wants to play is roblox but only available on these guys.

Once you get passed the install part, you will be doing all the work through a web browser anyway.

Remote Play

Yeah that's the one handy when the wife watching something boring

It's been awhile since I used remote play but I can connect my ps4 controller to my iPhone and use that has a controller.

If you were to use Pi-Hole, make sure your firewall is only allowing clients to use Pi-Hole IP for their DNS server.

Another option, is PaloAlto URL Filtering Web Security.

Does anybody running KVM have issues with Windows XP guests?

Just upgraded XCP-ng from 7.6 to 8.0 and now our stupid ass ancient punch clock app running on XP won't boot :angry_face:

With KVM, when installing unsupported OS like Windows XP through Virtual Machine Manager, you end up using the generic default template.

Chipset will be i440fx.
Storage will be IDE bus type.
Nic will be e1000(Intel).

I hate to be that guy and I know you said you want to host your own wedding site, but there are services that makes it easier like WeddingWire and The Knot.

My daughter is speechless playing Minecraft on Xbox One for first time. She only played Minetest.

Damn, I remembered having to do something similar with Sophos years ago. One of Windows updates messed it up?

Trying out Pi-Hole Beta v5

Managing whitelist and blacklist client or group of clients is pretty straightforward using the new group management setting.

@mroth911 said in locking down network:

so basically I am helping with my church/School , they need to connect to apple/android store. youtube. but social media sites locked down and p2p networks and anything inappropriate for k-12.

So OpenDNS is doing the trick for now., However there is no cherry picking, and certain users need the ability to connect to facebook as well. Posting via webpage what is going on in school etc.

Thats the situation at hand.

They received a letter that someone on the network was downloading from BitTorrent. and it broke digital media anti-piracy law. etc. So they are naturally freaking out.

This is something I want to setup and walk away.. I am just doing this to help them.

Once you have set up pi-hole, go to this site:
https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts#list-of-all-hosts-file-variants

He provides list of social media sites to block.

If you must you either setup squid and squidguard and then use Shalla Blacklist to block whatever sites you preferred.

And If a web gui is necessary, pfSense makes it pretty easy to configure.
