@Grey That looks fantastic. Ugh. I want a 3D printer badly.

https://glowforge.com/ and a printer from https://itworks3d.com/ are on my list.

After yesterday's successful network upgrade, the business catered lunch in today. Domino's pizza and salads. No big deal.

I'm using the CodeTwo tool to import user pictures to AD. So far, it's killed my laptop once and complained about memory 3 times.

AAaaand CodeTwo crashed.

They have the worst developers. $5 says that some of them were fired from Ubisoft.

@Dashrender said in Sitting Standing desk:

huh - so that single connection point to the desk feels sturdy enough with 3 monitors hanging off it?

Yup it is VERY sturdy! It has 2 motors and raise and lower it and can hold 300#

I was talking about the monitor mount, not the whole desk.

Well, ARK did just drop a new patch. Legit need.

Wow, only $65? Hmmm... I don't know that I can get this and then convince my wife that it looks dumb without another monitor on it, so obviously I'd need another monitor.

I think he was talking about the monitor stand.

The monitor stand is built for 3 27" monitors and is plenty stable on it's own. I have had it for almost 2 years now I think.

Make & Model?

@Dashrender said in Sitting Standing desk:

OK no approval yet on a converting desk, but do have approval to get an adjustable monitor stand for someone.

Note the laptop sitting on reams of paper.

Some people here use the varidesk solution that was pictured. Apparently, it's pretty good.

Entered! I'm going to put my tile mate on my phone so I don't lose it.

How often do we hear "We can save you money" and the answer is "oh no, money is too tight, we can't save money right now."

Raid 50? Why?

Because it is 10x better than RAID 5?

Spin up a <<INSERT YOUR FASVORITE DISTRO HERE>> VM and install X2Go?

Mint 18 is pretty easy to get this set up and working on.

Yes, my actual request was on the suggestions on the distro I wanted something light weight and just chrome installed.

You have my Answer. Mint 18... get the Mate version.

I use this for a remote site, and I let mint start from the iso every time. It's like a mini-VDI!

You mean using the live cd?

yes.
but that's just how Linux Mint works. You boot from the live CD and inside you choose to install to local disk if you want.

Exactly, and I just don't install. I don't even have a 'disk' assigned to that VM; just a CD.

I use this for a remote site, and I let mint start from the iso every time. It's like a mini-VDI! However, I am able to connect to that site directly through the classic vcenter client (the 'dot-net client), and I only use the mint vm to test things like internal to external routing, web interface tools that are internal only, or similar things, and all done through the console function of the vsphere client.

haha... robocopy script was copying from a share that was way bigger than it's target (I messed up).

Comparing the source and the target, nothing matches.... Look at the script.. whoops! /purge on that robocopy script...

Robocopy: destroying your data since 1996!

Seriously, be careful with your robocopy. Always, always re-read what you typed, then run it with the /quit switch, and THEN read it to see if it's OK before you run it.

Went to the gun store last night to pick up a holster and more bullets and saw this. An Uzi is on my wish list, but this baby just moved up to the top notch!!

Want to get the .22 version...cheaper price, cheaper rounds, nice and fun!!

.22s are fun, but i hate loading the magazines.

@Dashrender said in Login Flower:

I'm not sure personally I really want my picture in my profile. As you can see here, I have Stitch as my profile picture, not my face.

I even managed to get my Stitch picture into my AD profile, but it doesn't show up in Outlook, so I don't even recall how I did it now - it might be local only to this computer I did it ages ago.

@StrongBad said in Login Flower:

Why isn't that the default? You would expect that to just happen with AD.

It really should be, to be honest. Maybe you can write up a quick powershell for everyone to copy that adds the appropriate GPO, or the quick n' dirty how to?
