The question is - why is the quality so bad? Isn't the process supposed to catch bad quality?

Their process is consider the windows insider group (extreme power users) to be a good enough replacement for proper QE teams, and writing automated build tests.

Right, the new process isn't to catch bad things, it's actually to see bad things as "not all that bad." Presumably because a shift from viewing their products as being for business to being for entertainment. Remember when Windows 95 was a key tool for businesses, but by Windows 98 they had made sure to put a "for entertainment purposes only" label on the product to make sure no one confused it with something that was intended for business use?

I feel like that's where they are now. At least internally, no one is really thinking of this as a business tool.

So it worked by rebooting. WTF

Weird.

Very

Good to know, I use Ubuntu/Debian so I will check for that.

Sorry, ignore me. I got this figured out. I was being really dumb and had the wrong config.json file open and didn't know what I was looking at. Just ignore. Yes, the socket.io settings were missing, but were on my screen so I was sure that they were there.

@black3dynamite Aha! They both did it! Yes, I have a thing about an entire desktop worth of space getting forced down into one little bar, and the menu being at least 2 clicks deeper than it was.

Why is the menu deeper? I don't prefer this setup either, but it's no deeper. It's still a button on the desktop for me.

Because as the admin/geek, everything I want/need to use is a submenu of the all programs menu. Granted I mostly just favorite a terminal emulator and be done with it, but it is much farther to move around and menus for me to get through. Give me Cinnamon with a hotkey set for the menu any day.

As long as the search function works, I usually find what I need by searching for it.

Hi,

You cant but the /boot as raid

However the / or root part can be placed as raid, I did this and I will show you how to do this, but please don't do it.

Here where it gets bad.

You wish to update the system and kernel and all this can affect the RAID/ now the config for the raid is done in the kernel and stored in boot part, so you always updating this and your always keeping the disks busy, even on network packet level. Everything happens will happen on the /

What you want to do is look into purchasing a small reliable drive
Like 64 GB or 128 GB NVMe SSD and using that as your /
or If that is too fancy or expensive, get USB thumb drive and pair it with samsung SD card and install the root part

Then create RAID 10 on the 4 other drives, cause even if the /root fails it wont matter . pop another one and it will auto detect the raid , with cockpit it is very easy to detect the RAID and activate it and mount it

@dafyre said in Centos AND Ubuntu Package Mirrors Down:

I disable IPv6 as a matter of defaults on my home network... I'd like to do it at work too, but I never have any issues like that there.

Mee neither. It was weird thing I rebooted everything from the router side and it got fixed, so disregard.

yum-cron and dnf-automatic do not use postfix or any other MTA. They simply open and send with a direct SMTP connection by default.

Thanks to you guys I got it sorted out now!

@jnaugle also worth noting, no one actually delivers PRI today, that entire market is a scam. It's actually SIP and then they translate the SIP to PRI on your network edge to make it "sound cool" for people who are out of date and remember when PRI was both still available and actually practical (early 1990s and earlier.) PRI is not nearly as powerful as SIP, nor as cheap, so phone providers long ago "all" moved to providing SIP instead (PRI isn't possible without a physical T1) and "virtualizing" PRI on top of it. All the PRI does it increase cost and lower performance, flexibility and reliability.

So the best solution is to get the phone provider to stop pretending to do PRI and just give you the raw SIP. This improves your phone quality by removing unnecessary steps and limitations, removes the need for you to convert back to SIP (gateway, card, however you do it) and makes everything better for everyone. The PRI interface has no advantages, only disadvantages. It takes the better SIP, and cripples it.

For people running ancient phone systems from before VoIP, SIP isn't possible, so these terrible PRI interfaces are useful for them to continue to be able to hook up those ancient phone systems while still being able to connect to current phone companies. They aren't totally useless, but they are useful only for that one terrible niche case.

Wow this must be an old server. pam_tally was replaced with faillock in RHEL 6.

@stacksofplates said in Looking to migrate Nginx and LetsEncrypt:

If you start over with a new system so you still get notifications of old certs expiring? Aren't these handled at the domain level so it knows that a new system has a newer cert? Honestly asking since I haven't run into this yet.

No. It is handled on the cert serial number level.

Ah ok.

I've moved things in the past by simply reissuing on the new server, and dealing with the expiring certs is an annoyance.

@stacksofplates said in Linux: History:

you can just do

gedit ~/.bash_history

or if you like the cli

cat ~/.bash_history

Obv only Bash if that's what you're using.

Why conCATenate? Just use LESS.

You can do either or any combination. Mostly just pointing you you don't need the gui.

Those instructions is pretty good. He did leave out information about the default user and password for it.

@scottalanmiller Did you ever fix this?

@dustinb3403 said in CentOS 7 Telnet Port Change:

Cockpit isn't included in CentOS 7 by default (is it?. . . .)

Not with a minimal install. With the problem you are having, I was assuming the issue was with port 9090.

@dustinb3403 said in CentOS 7 enabling Telnet:

And I got the port forwarding to work.

firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-forward-port=port=9090:proto=tcp:toport=23

I can now telnet to my server on port 9090 (which forward to 23).

Nice!
