How the F does a turned off computer/VM need to be licensed? Does this mean that full backups of VMs each need their own licenses?! If so, I'm so screwed on licenses...

On a completely unrelated note... About damn time we get an official rackmount kit for edgemax devices lol

Maybe you should make an ISO if they're not encrypted or protected? This will certainly keep the titles and menus intact.

@Sid Yes, the following should do it. I would start with Ubuntu 17.10 though. I'm testing it out right now, about 3/4 of the way done. I'll let you know if there are any snags.

sudo bash
sudo curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Jarli01/xenorchestra_installer/master/xo_install.sh | bash

@bbigford They have a "Storage Instance" tab that is always sold out, I was lucky enough to grab one like 6 months ago. They've been sold out every time I've logged in since then.

Put a $130 Ubiquiti camera pointed right at the HDMI port, whoever breaks it can now be held responsible. You'll probably never have to fix it again with a camera on it.

@mike-davis If they have 4 users writing a million smaller files at once I can definitely see it bogging down to an average of 15 MB/s with 2 spinners.

@momurda It was direct from Amazon! The chat support lady was like "Let pull up the order so I can report the seller" then she's like ohhh it was us, I'm so sorry, new one will be there tomorrow.

I'm being dead serious here, have you asked her if post-it notes would work? If she needs a reminder to tell the customer to have a good day or that toilet paper is 10% off, it seriously could be the correct solution. I have coworkers that have up to 10 post-its on the monitor, phone, etc. at any given time. We also use label makers to more permanently attach certain things like "Transfer * Ext = VM" right on the phone...

@dustinb3403 said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

ha. . . you should email and tell him you have his homework. .

I did. I messaged him on FB. I doubt he'll respond. It looks like him and his wife used to run a computer repair "company" of sorts.

I almost think that maybe somebody stole the laptop from this guy... Why would you ever leave incriminating evidence on the hard drive otherwise... or maybe he's just an idiot :man_shrugging:

@dustinb3403 said in Today's Random Discussion Point: Are Wigs Just Hairy Hats?:

No, I'm saying hats have some form of protection. A baseball cap can help to protect your eyes from sunlight. No wig is designed with protection in mind. They are designed as a fashion piece.

If this were a wig it could protect your eyes, and could be a squishy top providing better protection than nothing at all...

I've recently installed Nextcloud 13 via Jared's guide here to a Vultr storage instance.

I have no problem uploading files directly to a folder in the web interface, but if I create a "File Drop" shared folder, then uploads bigger than just a couple MB to said shared link fail. Is there some setting for the file drop that I'm missing? I'm testing a ~245MB ISO file as a test upload.

So after i get the server: what would be my first steps in setting up?
Any threads here on ML?

Possibly firmware updates, get your Drac/iLO setup, setup RAID array, then install whatever hypervisor you choose.

Maybe I'll make one that's always broken called "NextCouldnt"

This is actually surprisingly easy to do on accident... Intel Graphics Ctrl + Alt + <arrow keys> rotates the display. I believe there are other shortcuts for different systems.

Using @JaredBusch's script should set all the permissions correctly.

#download the script 
wget -O ~/selinux_config.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sorvani/scripts/master/Nextcloud/selinux_config.sh
#set it to executable
chmod +x ~/selinux_config.sh
#execute the script
~/selinux_config.sh

If I blow away windows and install KVM, and then later decide that I want a windows 10 VM, won't it have to be licensed? Or will it somehow know that it was once licensed on that machine, even as a later VM? I dont think it would know, and would therefore need a new license.

Pull the key from BIOS. You can use it to activate the VM.

I had no idea you could do that. Thats awesome.

choco install keyfinder

@tim_g 10/10Mbit is brutal... also, "unmetered" but 3 TB monthly transfer limit? I guess $29.99 is pretty cheap, but damn.

Probably considered unmetered because it would take 32 days to transfer 3TB at 10Mb/s lol
