@Pete-S

no it is reserved for broadcast stuff. not recommended, i think it is called broadcasting IP

I think you are mistaken it for the last IP address which is the broadcast address. So 192.168.0.255 in this case.

You couldnt let that pass, you have to make me look like idiot.

YOU WANT THE TRUTH, fine i will give it to you. the first IP is reserved for FBI and CIA, here you go

@Jimmy9008

if you ask me sometimes nothing is fair, but it is your current of view in life, for example some people would be happier working relative easy job and doesnt pay alot and having good friends in that job better than high paying one, but they doesnt know that untill they its too late

@Emad-R said in Firefox security issues:

And "firefox -p" is your friend

What does that do? I couldn't find it on firefox website.

In linux is opens the profile manager, basically i have multiple profiles.

Work profile for company A
Work profile for company B
Watching/streaming profile
personal profile

and you can make launcher for them like below in linux
firefox -p personal --no-remote

it look complicated, but once you start you cant stop. very benefecial to really seperate them yet at the same time they all share firefox program versions but not of the addons or prefernces

Install AWX (Ansible) on Debian 10 "Buster"

---

install some basic software

apt install -y ansible docker docker-compose git python3-docker ansible-tower-cli

start docker and enable autostart

systemctl enable docker
systemctl start docker

change default version of python to version 3, I wish someone explain this more

python -V
python3 -V
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python2.7 1
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python3 2

clone awx

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/ansible/awx
cd ~/awx/installer

changes parameters

nano inventory

postgres_data_dir="/var/pgdocker"
docker_compose_dir="/var/lib/awx"
project_data_dir=/var/awx_projects

install awx

ansible-playbook install.yml -i inventory

If no errors occurred here, you can enter the host name of the machine in the browser, log in with the user "admin" and the password "password" and get started.

launch awx on reboot

crontab -e
@reboot bash /root/start_awx.sh


nano /root/start_awx.sh
cd /var/lib/awx && docker-compose start
chmod +x /root/start_awx.sh

stop awx

nano /root/stop_awx.sh
cd /var/lib/awx && docker-compose stop
chmod +x /root/stop_awx.sh

update awx

cd /var/lib/awx && docker-compose stop
# bump the version twice here --> /var/lib/awx/docker-compose.yml
docker-compose pull && docker-compose up --force-recreate -d

change image port settings

cd /var/lib/awx && docker-compose stop
nano /var/lib/awx/docker-compose.yml
cd /var/lib/awx && docker-compose start

tower-cli receive --all > awx_backup.json
tower-cli send awx_backup.json

@travisdh1

yh all works just the import/export thing is not 100% if you have 2 awx instances

@NashBrydges

Yeah I also recommend that , i actually set 5 instances a week ago, but I do the setting up my actual CEO does the config, weird stuff marketing and campaigns .

Its basically LAMP app, be sure to give us your SAM review if you choose to use it

Got purchased by Acquia (drupal hosting provider) for alot of money

This is a simple 3 step installation process. You'll want to make sure you already have Composer available on your computer as this is a development release and you'll need to use Composer to download the vendor packages.

1. Download the repository zip

https://github.com/mautic/mautic/archive/master.zip

2. Extract this zip to your web root.

3. Run the following command to install required packages.
   composer install Open your browser and complete the installation through the web installer.

How about restoring the old photo viewer that just works

EXCEL IS THE DEVIL

dude i supported 3 ladies that uses excel alot like receptionest in hosptial, the only real fix. and they knew excel is soo bad that they didnt really expect from me any solutions. I would just listen to them on how they have to repeat the data entry part ... try to have candy with you when you support such cases

take the data

create new excel file

paste that date, no format, or reduce formatting as much as possible.

Excel is stupid in optimizing, sometimes a user which is valid tries to do quick thing and what he does is
make like infinite number of pink column , so excel keeps saving that. you need to start fresh with values only

And XLSB is fast, try that but take backups

@DustinB3403

7zip provides that, so i assume
7za t archive will work or
7z t archive

@scottalanmiller

qemu-img does this, i heard you can do it in virtualbox if your using windows or copy them to kvm host and use that, but the real question will they work after that and I cant answer you thing, it depends if qemu-img was tested on older virtual hard disks format, so newer ones might be hard.

@popester

Yeah change it to CF which acts as reverseproxy and then any future changes will be instant.

So after more research, this one is bubbling up to the top over and over again. Low cost (found it for $75) with great specs (6 core, 4GB) and the connector that we need (M.2 and GigE.) Likely this is what we are going to start with.

I'm sensing YT Video review idea

@scottalanmiller

Yeah i faced the exact same issue, wanted to make alternative whatsapp thing just using apps and now the extra email thing is causing hassle, however that said you can register users manually and that will create passwords, like open registration feature, which is by default is enabled and head to your RC webpage and register. open it in incognito

Hi all,

I learned a lot from this community and appreciate being a member and I guess I'm ready to learn more this year.

I will be quick. I wish to start a learning circle (ideally ~10) with similar minded people about the below topics:
automation and container best practices, k8s (we can learn about others but k8s is the lead) and orchestration when do you use them, and best deployment practices and running it in a lab env, not as a managed service (so we actually learn).

the key is being involved and pooling resources and sharing knowledge, sure I can learn alone, which I am doing right now but I found myself more motivated and active with others

Looking for similar emotionally intelligent people, that love to learn as much as they love to share and grow. They should have solid Linux background but still venturing into container land. Where we learn together and in a fast pace way, we share code and learn in a best practice way, basically the same way the companies make us do it (try not to touch the prod servers manually and document shit).

Interested, hit me with your email so I can add you to the slack group.
devops-me2.slack.com

Currently, it is me alone with an old co-worker, and once you enter you will be not a member but a  true participant of this, I'm planning we all work in shared VPS account and we just have fun with it. while I can use nodebb forum, Its not effective as being a team on slack. I don't have all the procedure 100% figured out, but I am sure we will manage and if you have ideas let's do it.

The goal is running k8s best way possible and I would like if we can make it on multiple VPS providers or networks, also talk about best deployment practices as well as secure it, we will learn as we go. and I'm entering this without hiding any knowledge cause I learned this from the best (Scott) the more you share best practices and knowledge the better the world gets.
