For the record, at 10:30 in the video you talk about the original RoIT site failing. It was never released to the public as such, we played around with the idea of it for a while but setting up a non-profit entity and all that's involved in that was way more work and money than we'd originally thought. We decided not to go forward with the project since but I don't think that really counts as failing. I'm glad someone pointed to the WBM link, I had forgotten that we'd made the domain name into a rick roll, that made me smile.

Time to move to whitelisting instead.
You mean "Allow List "
They didn't get the memo:
I just landed a new job that I'm pretty excited about. My current position moved slowly back from development into straight up IT, so I'm glad to be a software developer again.
My new company has good benefits and I know some people that work there and it sounds like they treat their employees really well.
If I didn't get this job, I might have given up on developer. There's so much work involved in dev hiring processes.
I am having problems rendering the theme as it has glitch the "scrolling" text at the beginning and shows all the text.
link: https://themes.gohugo.io/somrat/ "there is a demo in there that works.
It works when editing but not when rendering.
Also, when rendering, the footer "media" links are presented using a font that is not showing or loading (which is really smart" to not load images) But it works(Shows) when editing.

Someone is actively implementing OI today? I thought that that was the legacy piece lingering on.
The AREV app was written in DOS 32 years ago. It was converted to OI 8 years ago. The guy who did the work died. It's proving to be very difficult to find someone who is fluent in OI that originated as AREV.
AFAIK OI is just a GUI for making .NET apps. Just working in the .NET might do the trick. Might not even need to know what OI is to do it.
Looking for a tech in Amesbury, MASS. Nothing crazy, just remote hands that can follow directions and stuff. Able to help someone remotely troubleshoot networking. Just need someone for an evening or something like that, but would like someone that could go back again from time to time as we have regular customers there.
Loosing good account reps seems to be the norm in the SBM... a sales person often seems to start out on the SMB desk, if they excel, they are promoted to other desks. This has happened to me at least three times across different vendors.
Among many good things, remote work creates new challenges for business cybersecurity. Regardless of whether the user uses VPN, having additional security measures can never hurt. Microsoft Defender for Endpoint introduces additional layers where you can also set web content filters to avoid your employees creating unwanted cyber threats.
Read the guide by Romain Serre, a Microsoft MVP, explaining how to use Microsoft Defender for Endpoint to block out unwanted web content for your remote office.

Any update on this, just thought about it and wanted to see where this project is at.
Sadly, nothing for the foreseeable future.
@Pete-S said in To vSAN or not to vSAN?:
The problem the way I see it with old stuff like the OP has is while there is nothing wrong with the technology itself, everything is relatively slow with today's standard and much more complex than needed.
It's very true. And the risk today is that we are so accustomed to that complexity, that we often avoid the simple answers today.
@donaldlandru said in MangoCon 2021?:
Keep discussing. I'd travel (almost) wherever.
Virtual could be a good second. Structured and unstructured video calls maybe?
We did this for SpiceWorld and while it was fun to get people together virtually, it was just a few people hanging out and no conference at all. It was a good effort, but doesn't serve the purpose.
We'll have another MangoCon, just need to figure out when it can be done.

@Dashrender said in Lenovo Bypass BIOS Options:
in the 2010's many laptops came with a boot to BIOS/setup button, a Tiny button typically on side of the laptop meant to help you bypass this rapid boot feature and ensure you get into the BIOS
Never seen that, ever.
My old Lenovo had it.

Other than that it doesn't matter to me what anyone calls it.
You are 100% to call it whatever you want. But a key/value pair is commonly referred to as a dictionary... or a hash table which is a dictionary data type. This isn't exclusive to Python in the least.
"Commonly referred" depends on the programming language in question. For example in many other languages it's commonly called an array or collection and never a dictionary.
If you look at the part you quoted, YAML calls it mappings.
The proper computer science terminology would be associative array.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_array
The best thing to do is to call it exactly what the language or software you are referring to calls it. If Ansible wants you to create what it has named in their documentation as a dictionary in YAML, that's what you refer to it as. Otherwise, someone who is familiar with Ansible and it's documentation won't know what the hell you are talking about if you call it your own thing.
I can agree with that point of view - YAML in the context of Ansible.
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/YAMLSyntax.html
So you'd call it dictionaries then. And lists.
