I'm monitoring the progress in console 2 (ctl+alt+f2) with
watch -n 1 "ls -lash /dd_manual/dd"

Every single VM...

Foud this on the googles..

I ran this "fix" in 2018.. But the only answer is to remove the role and put it back? WTF...
https://www.mangolassi.it/topic/16751/windows-10-hyper-v-manager-unable-to-connect-to-server-2012-r2

So piss off Microsoft.. I so do not want to remove and add a role to resolve a role not working right......

But I found no other solution yet.

@RojoLoco said in Life as a computer technician can feel like life as a Meeseeks:

That gif is brilliant.

Someone (mod) fix the damned link so it shows..

and solved it. finally..

one of the reboots into the CentOS 4 disc was slow or something and I caught it pop this screen (took me 6 reboots to get screenshot).
This is the Kudzu hardware detection thing.

The VM is setup using the LSI 53C895A SCSI Controller.
Booted into rescue mode with the CentOS 4 CD.

chroot /mnt/sysimage
vi /etc/modprobe.conf
# make this the only scsi_hostapadter
alias scsi_hostadapter sym53c8xx
# exit vi !!! omfg how!!!
cd /boot
mkinitrd -v -f initrd-2.6.9-55.EL.img 2.6.9-55.EL
exit
exit

System automatically reboots to come out of rescue mode.
Make sure you remove the ISO at this point.
Then boom..

Booted straight to the CentOS 4 ISO, went into linux rescue, updated the initrd img and bam. working system from the current (as of 4 days ago) manual disk images I made.

Next project to re-learn how they restore data files. Have not done that in almost 10 years. Having no virtual infrastructure to play with, prior to this, made that harder.

@hobbit666 said in VULTR NJ location: Partial Power failure.:

Out of interest do Vultr / Azure / AWS / etc offer HA for instances between different locations?

No. Not even their "Load Balancer" thing does that.

But VPS provider != Cloud provider

@scottalanmiller said in Import a QCOW2 Into Proxmox:

This works for many formats other than qcow2 as well. A straight block image in ISO / img format will work just fine, too.

Yes it does.

@AlyRagab said in Asterisk/Elastix setup in AWS:

Thanks @scottalanmiller , @JaredBusch for this good discussion,
Actually it is a POC level of environment. I am convinced already that Asterisk "As a legacy app" is so difficult to make it cloud native kind of application.
For me i am away from the VoIP field since more than 4 years now, so is there any other complete solution that can be scaled and hosted in AWS ?.

Thanks

Are you trying to recreate Twilio?

@stacksofplates said in Proxmox pricing:

but users on your LAN need a link or some way of knowing it exists

Users of the things running on it do not.

@scottalanmiller said in Asterisk/Elastix setup in AWS:
You'd never use one of the viable Asterisk distros like FreePBX or VitalPBX, let alone an old, dead one like Elastix.

Thought a few people were using FreePBX/VitalPBX here ?

You completely took that out of context.

@Obsolesce said in Sangoma Ransomware:

That looks to me like a group of software devs that have no idea about what happened... at least according to their responses there.

What response? There is no response yet, except to say that there is one forthcoming.

The concern is not the open source. The concern is closed source.

I see there are 2 replies, but I can see them.

This is all I see:

@DustinB3403 said in Duplicati - How to exclude based on date (filtering):

But to hopefully answer the question would --changed-files do what you want?

@VoIP_n00b said in FreePBX vs 3CX 2021 Edition:

As 2020 comes to a close, and we start 2021 what are you using for new PBX deployments?

Definitely nothing from Sangoma!

Yes, let’s skip the only open source choice on the market.

@Pete-S said in Detect problems with OneDrive, Dropbox and other synced cloud storage?:

We've recently started using Zoho Workdrive and I think it works about the same as every other cloud storage that can sync folders and files.

I'm wondering what happens if a client for any reason doesn't sync the data to the cloud anymore. Is there a way for admins to detect that, for instance in OneDrive?

On the client side there definitely is, not sure if there is on the server side.

I was thinking server-side. So if you have hundreds of users you could be certain that all of them are actually syncing their data (on a regular basis) and not just working on local files without sync.

Yes, O365 has reporting for that.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/admin/activity-reports/onedrive-for-business-usage?view=o365-worldwide
The server has to know when user have connected or not.

No idea for ZoHo.

In video:

I want to get ahead of speculation....

Because you want your speculation to be the one everyone believes..

This video is a load of crap.

No, facts, not speculation.

Did shit happen? Of course. No one is denying it.

Does a ransomware of an exec/upper management mean an entire ecosystem is suddenly invalid? No. That is not how anything works.

It does mean that things need to be considered, risks weighed, and actual intelligent thought made.

Chris had only one actual goal by making that video when he did and as he did.

Revenue.

Opinions are like assholes...everybody's got one.

He has a monetized YouTube channel. He puts out a YouTube video with nothing but rampant speculation.

You want to tell me it was not revenue?
