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.
@Emad-R said in HyperVisor:
for me it is centos, cause of the logic :
If you want only one role to function in a server and it will not change, and you want it to do it good, and it does not require new features go with old stable or centos
The problem here is associating "old" with "stable." CentOS isn't really any more stable than Fedora. It's just a code base that doesn't change. That's a totally different concept that exists for legacy application support. It really has no place here where the entire stack is updated and maintained together.
The other problem is that in a hypervisor, those "new features" include things like speed and stability. So there is no such thing as a situation where you don't want them. Sounds good, until you look into what it actually means in this situation, then it's clear it doesn't make sense. And the huge risks that it adds that people like to ignore can be just huge.

Creating a Zip Folder for my ISO of Server 2019 to put onto a flash drive so I can Use it at my house after I install Fedora 31 and KVM to practice Windows AD for hands on practice.
apparently even after creating a zip file it's too large to transfer..
To transfer to where? You'll need Fat32 up to a 4 GB file, you'll need NTFS for anything larger as a single file.
so you have to copy anything off of it you want to save - and then reformat it as NTFS
Gotcha..

Smart watch leaders are apple and samsung.
Samsung isn't in the big three. Xiami is number one, Apple number two. Xiami is the largest wearables maker in the world. So big that they don't just make their own processors with their own fab, but they use their own architecture!
And they are sold everywhere but the US (or at least I've never seen that brand at any retail location I've been to)
They are definitely sold in the US. We buy them here (they are cheap and resilient.) I don't see them in stores too often, but like on Amazon and stuff they are just a normal item, not imported specially or anything. They are widely available. I like them for travelers because they are cheaper than average, but work well and have the best battery lives (often 1.5 months on a charge!) So you aren't likely to get it stolen, or have charging issues, and if they break just buy another.

One a small shop, the number of resumes is small. Not many people apply to work at one person shops. Especially these days. Even larger shops with full IT teams often get nearly zero applications for IT work these days. You have to go seek applicants, they rarely come to you.
You assume they using good job descriptions and revealing the company size
Oh, you are assuming a situation where they are posting to job boards. I see, that makes sense. Although I can tell you that even when doing so, you get almost nothing as a smaller shop.
@dyasny said in Create my own Stock,Inventory Software:
Have you tried the existing free tools like odoo or partkeepr?
Odoo seems to be asking for money when selected the Sales and Inventory or Purchase
Partkeepr cannot be installed in Windows machine as checked.unable to install this because others are not able to use Unix/Linux OS

Working on vacation is totally an American concept.
Visiting the in-laws is not exactly a vacation either.
Heh, yeah I was going to add unless you are in Japan but not on vacation when you are working. Similar to how I did before, had a couple of weeks of true vacation, and worked remotely otherwise,while overseas.
That's the benefit to this type of workstyle. The "need" for a true vacation is so much less. Because I already do pretty much what I want.
Yeah, we talk about that at NTG a lot.... the "work as a lifestyle" type work. A career and job and company that let's your work and your life integrate. The idea of a vacation starts to not mean much. Vacations are conceptually for people who want to escape work and life. But we approach it as... you shouldn't want to escape your job. We try to make working here something people enjoy, not just "good enough for the paycheck."
If you aren’t sure about the credibility of big platform ratings when you’re looking to buy an HCI solution, then you should look into this one. We believe, Gartner’s Peer Insights report on consumer reviews about HCIs in 2019 synthesizes community feedback only. You can see how customers rate HCI vendors, which products they like best, and what they have to say about them.
Read the full Gartner’s Peer Insights report on HCI vendors in 2019 and see what your peers really think about what we believe are some of the best hyperconvergence solutions of the past year.

In theory they are intended for special cases like video recording.
Yup, pretty much the same thing - intended for always-on, without too much heavy IO. Frankly, I doubt there's anything significantly different under the hood there.
I've looked at the specs before and could not really find anything.

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!

What would happen if you wanted to give a conference talk but didn't know if you could gain the expertise in time to actually do it? I would encourage anyone on the fence out there to just go for it, even if you might fail. Here's my story for the encouragement of others.
