Try the Dash to Dock extension for Fedora Workstation

The default desktop of Fedora Workstation — GNOME Shell — is known and loved by many users for its minimal, clutter-free user interface. However, one thing that many users want is an always-visible view of open applications. One simple and effective way to get this is with the awesome Dash to Dock GNOME Shell extension.

I actually prefer Dash to Panel for that more Windows feel on Gnome

Yeah, I agree with Jared. It could be done with minimal costs for Hyper-v 2016 and Veeam B&R. Cost of the hardware, your labor, the licenses for the guests, and for Veeam.

How many hosts are you planning on having?

No .me support yet, according to this page.

But, I'm sure they are working on it.

Glad they are offering the service now, but is there any concern about consolidating services under the umbrella of a single service provider? Such as DNS & Registrar together versus each at separate companies?

This one?

Looks that way...

@scottalanmiller I watched the first few seasons as a kid when it first came out, but not since then. I've never seen Battlestar Galactica.

Unless I am mistaken (and that usually does happen a lot with me), Linux.org is down. Unsure as to why. Somebody in the Telegram forums said that the organization let the registration lapse and somebody else has exploited it and isn't doing anything with it yet.

Can anybody find a headline on this yet?

It's redirecting me to a twitter page... Not as big as I thought. Linux.org is a fan run linux forum. kernel.org is the official site.

It took me to a twitter feed.

That twitter feed reminds me of TayBot. Yeah, it was just a fanboy forum site. I thought the Linux Foundation owned it as a way of spreading generalized information. Guess not.

Or to future proof it all, just run fiber now!

Running of the fiber isn't the issue. It's terminating it that is the issue.

And for a residence. . . really just go WiFi since 802.11ax is on it's way.

If we're so concerned about future-proofing, then why don't we just put in LiFi?

Necuno is a New Open Source Smartphone Running KDE

It’s been more than two years since Ubuntu’s dream of creating a Linux smartphone was shattered. But it hasn’t discouraged others from trying their own hands on a Linux-based smartphone. Librem 5, the privacy-focused Linux-based smartphone, should be arriving in 2019. Even Pine64 is aiming for a budget Linux smartphone. And now one more player has joined the party.

Finland based Necuno Solutions has announced that it is collaborating with KDE to bring Plasma Mobile to the Necuno Mobile.

Google expands eSIM support on the Pixel 3 to Sprint and several international carriers

Google became the first smartphone company to support built-in eSIMs with its Project Fi (now Google Fi) network last year. Now, it’s expanding that even further with the announcement of several new carriers around the world that will support the feature.

In addition to Google Fi, Google is adding support for Sprint in the US, EE in the UK, Airtel and Reliance Jio in India, and Truphone and Gigsky in various other countries over the next few months. In Germany, Deutsche Telekom and Vodafone will actually join Fi in offering the option to buy a Pixel 3 with an eSIM for those carriers sometime “soon.”

It was a bit surprising.

Well I hope you weren't expecting it.

FYI - I ran into this last week -

When starting Veeam Backup and Replication console, you get an error "Failed to check certificate expiration date"

https://www.veeam.com/kb2806

Fix is to create a new certificate.

Recent email from Veeam states that they are going to implement a 10-year certificate in Update 4.

The first bug is very annoying, because it will impact everyone who's using the default self-signed certificates, which is unfortunately the majority. As a reminder, we use those certificates to implement secure communication between backup infrastructure components, as well as with managed backup agents. And while we do provide the ability to select or import your own certificate, most don't worry about this and just keep the default certificate that is automatically generated when you install Veeam Backup & Replication. This certificate is set to expire in 1 year from its creation date, and due to some bugs you will see artifacts of its expiration 1 year after your Update 3 installation date. Which means, this will hit many of you in the next few weeks, and may make it a not very merry Christmas, unless you act now!

Assuming you have Update 3a installed, first thing you will see at 11 months after Update 3 installation time will be the "Failed to check certificate expiration date" error message upon opening the backup console. The UI is trying to tell you that the certificate is about to expire, but the logic of this falls through to the universal message for all unhandled exceptions (which is why it does not make much sense). If you ignore this message, everything will continue to work fine for another month, after which the agent management functionality, as well as all granular restores will start failing. Luckily, the issue is super easy to fix by simply generating a new certificate, which takes just a few clicks. So don't wait, and do it at your earliest convenience. Needless to say, we've fixed the related bugs in the Update 4 (and also bumped the self-signed certificate expiration date to 10 years). Here's the official Veeam support KB article for this issue > KB2806

Disclaimer: I've never implemented or used SaltStack at all.

But what I know of it, I would treat it similar to Group Policy. Not really meant to give information back. Just a state and configuration management system.
