The simple answer is you don't. If you wanted a scale environment, you'd pay for it.

If you are hypervisor agnostic the best answer is likely Starwind's VSAN and then your hosts.

So the question has just come to me, how can I disable TLS v1 and force higher versions of TLS running on a CentOS 7 VM running an apache website.

I often don't bother with public facing things and thus never really look into this. So I'm looking for guidance / confirmation.

This appears to be the answer and than just wait a bit so the Interwebz can realize this change has been made.

Any additional guidance?

How are you guys using brew and getting programs that fail to download to retry?

IE: brew cask install adobe-acrobat-pro failed to download.

Yet if I open a new shell and run the same command it works, any pointers?

PS. I realize that this is likely an Internet performance related issue, but there isn't much that I can do to address the underlying cause.

Morning everyone.
Looking forward to today for some reason, I'm excited to solve the world problems! (well at least for my customers...)

haha.. . . optimism, the thing that dies after a few years of work. . .

@travisdh1 Where you at now?

NE Ohio - Amish Country... for some reason the assumption is that I'll be moving somewhere!

Quite the paradox to be Amish and work in the IT field. . . the field of FVCKs

@IRJ said in Excel - Finding duplicates in workbook and moving them into their own work sheets:

Think of it like an account number that has a row for each transaction. That number is very unique and it will duplicate itself fairly often but in a repeatable fashion on the same column.

So why wouldn't finding duplicates and then sorting out non-duplicates with the built in filter function work for this?

Can you expand on what you're saying? I'm not quite sure what you mean.

See my sample screenshots, from the filter menu you can then show only repeating numbers, and also filter down to just an individual repeating number. Which you can then copy out to a new worksheet.

@hobbit666 so positive in every way that has been stated time and again across multiple platforms, and just now your coworkers are willing to see rather than listen.

Sometimes to get the horse to drink you have to try and drown it.

The original SAM-SD is racked!

Edit: I do occasionally receive commercial breaks in my episode though (Unable to connect to your service provider)

Put your username and password in a text file in your hidden /home/user/.config folder.
Create this file /home/user/.config/smb_creds
With this content

username=SMBUser
password=SMBPassword

Can I store domain there as well?

You'd just enter the username as domain@user iirc

Good morning everyone. Just did some dishes and made some coffee.

Nice way to start, although I did that last night with exception of coffee.

It's decaf. I'm trying to ween myself off of caffeine. Been almost a month without it now.

I had cut way back... or at least the time of day to which I consumed it... last few days hasn't been so good at that plan.

Need to get back to drinking less soda, less caffeine .

I drink water first thing when I get up... and then tea or coke during the day, and water when my body wants it... All things in moderation.

Fully agree with you. It's just a seriously bad habit to drink soda. it's so easy, and has taste unlike the water which tastes like... something I don't want to drink,.

If I make the effort to make tea - it's a 45/45/10 mix 3 Caffeine bags, 3 decaff bags, and a bag of mint... and I can generally drink a gallon of that a day.

Soda is bad... diet soda is fine-ish, way better than anything with sugar / added sugar (yes, including coffee and tea if you dump sugar and other bad shit in it) Diet soda has been known to make you keep craving sweets, but if you resist that it's fine.

Tea / coffee is excellent and very beneficial in a lot of ways if you don't dump sugar and shit (milk) in it.

I'm from the deep south... If there's not sugar, there's no sweet tea, lol.

I like to experiement, a lot. I've mixed several kinds of teas trying to replicate a recipe a friend of mine did with black tea, green tea, and oranges. Just an't seem to get it quite right.

You're missing the Southern Comfort in it. . .

@tonyshowoff said in Finally leaving my job, and it's just as annoying as I thought it would be:

But then he goes on to basically explain an obvious problem that people get into who work for others for a long time, almost an employee-style Stockholm Syndrome.

I've never once had a hard time about putting in my notice. So it honestly just doesn't register with me.

I've found a place willing to pay me more, give me better benefits, less hours etc etc and whatever. And with the current place you just list the things that suck about the job. Overworked, underpaid, understaffed, bad management.

When you go and sit down with your manager just create a mantra out of it in your head, more money, better management, better team, overworked underpaid, understaffed, bad management.

And end the meeting with "I'm leaving on <date>." Don't get dragged into conversations of "Can we discuss and try to fix these issues". Because you are then the employee who has tried to escape.

The one who is being watched constantly, where things are going to become more difficult to perform the same quality of work you have done previously.

So I leave when I say I'm done on <date>. And wish them luck from there. Nothing else to do with it.

Need to clear my head. Time for lunch.

Neat idea. . . don't join it to the domain. Throw it out. . .

@Reid-Cooper said in A Required Privilege Is Not Held By the Client:

That worked, as much as it is a bad idea, disabling UAC got things working again.

Uninstalling Windows would've also worked.

@eddiejennings that sounds like a great way to have an OOO response.

Sorry I'm out sick, will be back Monday.

I've updated the troubleshooting docs with the new dependencies and system performance and general troubleshooting.

Server outage, oh the joys. At least we know what is wrong.

Yeah. . . the server is out. ..
