More grafana/telegraf/influx stuff in between making some new Citrix machines.

Watching the news and getting a bit confused whats happening in the American with the voting.

About to start 2nd day of office move.
Well remove server hardware to take back to HO and look at the new office and order new kit as they don't need a server anymore hopefully be done by lunch

Actually, this is the best of both worlds. A console built with PC components.

Don't forget the Chicken warmer

Just looking at a document for PCI compliance.

• Implementing only one primary function per server to prevent functions that require different security levels from co-existing on the same server?

to me that's a VM per function?
e.g. before seeing this i was about to spin up a new VM that will be a file server (we have reasons for it not being cloud) then also a IIS site, run a password expiring messaging program (this was done by someone else, i'm sure there's a easier Free way of doing it).
But to me that says each of those functions should be on their own VM?

Installed my first CentOS stream today for a ELK stack

20.10 downloaded it before i started installing

my god this thread is going on a tangent.

Any gamers here?
Thinking of getting a "gaming" PC for the daughter for her birthday (June). But been out of the PC game for several years (Since the Xbox 360 days )

At the moment all she will play is Fortinet, Xcom 2, City Skylines, Sims 4.
But i might want to play Call of Duty, Counter-Strike, Battle Field.

So being out of the loop. What sort of spec should i be looking at (with a budget of £1200 inc monitor 24" 120Hz?)
Was thinking to start
16G RAM,
500GB SSD (M.2 on the motherboard thing??),
i5 10th gen 2.9-3.0 GH or AMD equivalent (not up to speed with AMD never really liked them back in the day)
Motherboard that fits, case, psu, etc.

Another day of doing several jobs and getting distracted by everything

I created this for my son in TinkerCad:

And printed it on the Ender 3 Pro I received for Christmas.

Yeah remember why i chose FreeCAD as i preferred a App on the PC not web based just my preference. Might give it another try soon.

Just ordered a 3d print part.

£12, doesn't matter what quality this is. If it works and i need better i'll pay a bit more

Actually used TinkerCad for it. Managed to work it out quicker than free cad.

Trying to tidy the server room.
I really don't think we need 60+ Power cables since everything new has them.

Downloading stuff

trying to work out why termsvcs is using 80-90% of CPU on some RDS servers
