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.
@Grey said in Looking for solutions to allow remote users access to their internal psychical computers:
Horizon is great. You could do the RDP exactly as you are, and draw back on all the deployed hardware. End users migrate to their own devices (any device) and still get their own desktop experience. You could pivot to full VDI later, or use it to add a desktop for consultant access, or whatever. It's very flexible.
This is definitely a situation where you get what you pay for, and if you go cheap, you'll get cheap.
Yeah I do like VMware and have heard that Horizon is good. I'm just a little nervous about cost which I haven't really even looked into yet. We do expect to have everyone eventually return to the office so it would kind of stink to spend a lot of money on something we aren't going to really utilize long term.
@BRRABill said in HDMI Monitor suggestions:
Can also just buy an adapter.
I have a whole slew of them in my laptop bag.
USB-C to HDMI
USB-C to VGA
etc
etc
That's not a bad idea either, But Maybe I wanted a new monitor.
TSB customers hit by online banking outage
A number of TSB customers were left unable to access online banking and mobile app services for both Android and iOS on Wednesday.
Independent website DownDetector, which tracks social-media posts on how sites are performing, showed hundreds of customers complaining of an outage. Users were met with an "unexpected error" and some said they had been left with no way to access their accounts. TSB said that the issue had now be solved. In a statement it told the BBC: "We experienced intermittent issues with our mobile and internet banking services earlier today. All our services are now working, however if customers experience an error message they should try logging on again."
You could probably take away Major Project section and make that a bullet point under a role.
Also I like to list my skills under each role. It's any easy place to list your skills without using bulletpoints
@Carnival-Boy said in Best way for teenager to learn to develop a game:
Like I said above, he likes programming Python, nothing to do with gaming.
Good deal, then. Then Python game programming is likely the place to start. Leverage what he likes.
@Nic said in Sysadmin opening at Automox - Boulder, CO:
@stacksofplates Sorry about that - feel free to leave the website off that field and then mention it in your cover letter if it's important for the application.
Oh it's fine. Just figured I'd mention it.
Xpert Consultancy, a British managed IT service provider (MSP), had the Firestreamer software from Cristalink. The existing VTL did not allow getting rid of the expensive physical tape hardware platform completely and was incompatible with the latest version of Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager. StarWind eliminated costly tape backup processes and granted opportunities for Xpert Consultancy to reduce hardware costs significantly.
Find out how Xpert Consultancy solves compatibility issues, gets a professional 24/7 support system, and frees from the bulk of hardware.
@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.

Excuse my ignorance. Now I was installing x2go. If I partition the hdd in raid 0 I also need to rebuild the operating system or just x2go. thank you.
To reiterate: Any time you are reconfiguring an array, you lose everything on the array.
If you want to keep the data, you must back the data up to a separate medium and restore it once you are done configuring the array.
I've used Logitech trackballs for over 20 years now. Been using the M570 both at work and at home for quite a while.
As for keyboards, I've also used various ergonomic keyboards (mostly logitech and MS) for the past 20 years. For the past 10+ years, my keyboard of choice is an Adesso PCK-208B...definitely not compatible with a tight workspace, but it works well for me. Initially bought it because, well, I'm cheap, and so was it.
Awesome thing about having a ergo keyboard plus trackball at home:
Visitor: Can I use your computer?
Me: Sure, help yourself
Visitor (looks puzzled staring at keyboard/trackball combo): Nevermind
Me (Grinning): Suit yourself
Want to blatantly promote yourself? Here is the place. Go crazy!

On a recent Nerd Journey episode, we interviewed Mike Burkhart. As Mike considered what was next for his career, he examined what he wanted his life to be like rather than what he wanted his job / role to be like. This was an interesting viewpoint that became much more vivid in my mind after a weekend trip to IKEA.
Even if you’re not a fan of shopping, taking a stroll through IKEA is pretty interesting. The store layout is setup to show shoppers what could be, acting as a psychological sea of possibility. Sure, furniture stores have been leveraging this tactic for some time, but it’s not the same as IKEA’s approach. The shopping experience begins with a trip through the show room. Walking down the main aisle one would see different rooms on either side – a bedroom, a living room, a kitchen, a closet, or perhaps an office…each carefully constructed down to the last detail.
