I use a laptop for work, and connect via usb-c dock to dual screens at the office. I have a similar setup at the house. So, I just plug in my work machine and off I go.

@DustinB3403 ~$100 was the cost everywhere last summer (2019) when I bought mine.

@JaredBusch But why robocopy?

Because it does at least skip the ones with no changes.

Why get convoluted with Powershell to do the same?

Not every system may have Robocopy.

it became part of theOS with Windows Vista. So anything running Windows Vista or Higher will have robocopy as a part of the Operating system (as everyone should be using higher than vista at this point.. I mean.. windows 7 is obsolete now.. sooo..)

Windows 10 1709 is obsolete too, so really anything not with a support mechanism shouldn't be used. But @JaredBusch might be getting paid stupid amounts of money to support Windows XP / Server 2000

Besides a comport setting difference (which isn't relevant) I can't see a difference.

The right hand side is the one that works.

@Pete-S said in Experience with HPs small laptops/chromebooks?:

On faster computers I don't notice much of a difference between chrome and firefox and actually prefer firefox personally. But in this particular case I'm not sure it's the CPU at fault, it could also have been lack of RAM.

Same here, about the same and tend to use Firefox.

@GregC No, it just keeps happening for some reason.

This script worked great!

I just tried it on a new laptop and it removed lots of stuff nobody needs.

Kids school had sent out notice of issue and shortly after that it should be resolved.

Sad- one service “took out” school systems across the US.

This is the centralized world we're moving to.

Decentralized is really the system we want.

Why? Decentralized means more, smaller outages but doesn't solve the fundamental issues. In fact, it would make them worse. Decentralized outages don't make headlines, but they cause more downtime to the end users. More downtime, with far less ability to point to and resolve. They require vastly more resources so the ability to repair is much lower.

One word of warning on these, the mic pivot point it's that robust, be semi-ginger with it, and once you set it, leave it alone.

WTF? That would be a hard no. The entire point of a hinged boom mic is to easily move it.

I'll show it to you next time we're together..

I have a similar one and love it:

I do like the full over the ear idea..not on the ear.

Same here, If giving the option, go wireless. Dealing with the cord is troublesome.

Do you have anything that's automatically setting the VLAN for the port?

@scottalanmiller said in Cloudflare help need re whether to proxy or not:

Speaking of, MeshCentral is able to be behind a CF Proxy as of today. So we just turned it on.

What changed with MC that it can now be proxied?

Don't know, but that was the specific purpose of the 0.7.24 release yesterday.

So I decided to upgrade. :). Weekend project while I’m sick. Vms created, moving all data now. This is MUCH quieter than the r710.

I have an R710 and its pretty quiet.

That's what I thought too. but the R630 is even quieter! now I just have to upgrade my network switch to a fanless one, and I'll be all set.

We already have lots of colo servers at work for testing where I can run whatever I want but having some stuff on the home LAN is nice.
So I'm thinking about building something around this supermicro chassis for SOHO use:
alt text

It's roughly 10" in all dimensions. It has 4x3.5" hotswap (SAS/SATA) and two internal 2.5". Takes micro-itx sized motherboards of which Supermicro has a couple of serverboards that fits. Can't go crazy because there are thermal restrictions but that wasn't the intention either. More along the lines of a small Xeon CPU and maybe 64GB RAM or so and a couple of drives.

@travisdh1 said in Virtual appliances?:

@stacksofplates What the what?

Install Fedora sudo dnf install -y kubernetes `systemctl enable --now podman1

That's all it takes.

Yeah I see you haven't actually done that.

Podman is not Kubernetes. Also when you install Kubernetes you don't get a podman1 service (or any type of podman service). When you install Kubernetes that way you don't get a Kubernetes service. You seemingly have to start the kube-proxy, kube-scheduler, kube-controller-manager, kube-api-server, and the kubelet separately. It installs docker, which is deprecated in k8s now. They have switched to using containerd which is pretty much the standard runtime now.

So I'll stick with my original recommendation.

Yep, this is why I need to mess with this stuff in my home lab. I can't even talk about it intelligently yet!

@Pete-S said in Windows Task Scheduler not running my task. Cron for Windows?:

When you have "interactive" don't you have to be logged in for the task to run?

No, the only two options for Mode are "Interactive Only" and "Interactive/Background" the slash mean Or in this case.

@pmoncho said in Drive wiping tools:

The first few were about 10 years ago, but that fun is done. Now its just a PITA, but with HIPAA and all, I figured better safe than sorry...

Check with your shredding company. Many of them will accept drives in the shred truck the comes by.

One of my clients does this. The shredding company jsut wants to know when drives are involved prior to arrival so they can make it first stop or last stop, i forget which. Because hot metal and paper = potential fire.

I think it is last stop. so they can easily extinguish if needed.

@Obsolesce said in PXE Boot & Software deployment:

@gjacobse said in PXE Boot & Software deployment:

What is your preference on PXE Boot deployment and software deployment?

SCCM and Software Center seem to be a joke here. Although it could be the team responsible for managing it.

We have a tremendous amount of issues with PXE Boot deployments, not installing the right image and thus nothing is installed or installed right ( Office 365, Adobe, VPN software, etc).

If the agent isn’t right you delete from ADUC and SCCM and start over..

We are lucky if Software Center works,... some times.

Published software packages break on a regular basis, aren’t available to install due to GPO, and you can’t run it ( that my group has found) in an elevated state for applications the user doesn’t see; not all applications are published to everyone...

We use Intune for ~10k devices across a handful of countries and is working great for device and software deployment.

I agree with this. Intune is replacing SCCM functionality in the best way possible.
