    • RE: Is the Physical Thin Client Era Dead?

      Maybe so, but I can only justify thin clients in environments that would call for security and limitation of the user. Something that even the rpi could do without much effort. Otherwise, there is really no need in thin-clients anymore.

      We're working today. Normally Black Friday (the Friday after Thanksgiving) is still a working day, but Production is pushing hard to have both that Thursday and Friday off.

    • RE: I am going to start an ISP

      @Reid-Cooper Tell that to rural America that is still on less than 1 Mbps speed DSL while cities like New York, Dallas, and LA are pushing towards 1 Gbps. Given, it is the peoples choice to live in rural America, but the phone companies also have no interest in upgrading their infrastructure because the ROI is crap.

      Facebook open-sources new suite of Linux kernel components and tools

      POSTED ON OCT 30, 2018

      An integral part of Facebook’s engineering culture has always been our development work on open source solutions that solve real-world production issues and address key challenges in modern large-scale cloud computing. Today, we are announcing a suite of open source Linux kernel components and related tools that address critical fleet management issues. These include resource control, resource utilization, workload isolation, load balancing, measuring, monitoring, and much more.

    • RE: printer VLAN firewall rules

      I'm not a networking guy, but can't you add routes to the router to go from one VLAN to another, even to a single IP address on another VLAN?

    • RE: Microsoft to Launch Linux Version of Sysinternals

      @StuartJordan But by rewriting all of their software packages, you would be looking at rewriting at least a decade's worth of code across all of Microsoft's platforms. Unless they walk in today and say "This is the day that we no longer write for our own kernel. Everything from here on out will be written for Linux.", it will never happen. I think it would be a great idea for them to write their own Linux distro, but don't think its ever going to happen.

    • RE: Microsoft to Launch Linux Version of Sysinternals

      I'd rather learn what's already there instead of learn potentially bad and work harder to relearn the right way in Linux distros.

      There is the way to do it in Windows and then there is the Right way to do it in Linux.

    • RE: Why Job Titles Matter, and Don't.

      To me, a title is merely an HR function than anything because it describes the duties that the job function fulfills. If I were to leave my job, somebody else would have to come in behind me and fulfill the same job duties.

      If I am working on business processes in the IT sense with the boss, I try to think in relation to the position and not the person, such as naming the phones "Shipping Clerk" or "Accounts Receivable" for relations to other positions within the job and not that of the person.

      Again, definitely more of an HR function than anything else, but it bleeds into the common work environment to help employees relate to one another.

      Bad quality pizza?

      does such a thing exist?

      You've clearly not spent time in Texas.

      maybe I've got to do something about that?

      You want to come to Texas for bad pizza?

      LOL

      You need to know what good pizza is before you know what bad is.

      @scottalanmiller You don't have to go all that far to find really crappy Internet, even though we aren't even in the slightest of poorest countries. Glad to see that somebody is doing something with all of their money and power to help the rest of humanity.

      ZTE smartphone goes to extremes to kill the notch, adds rear secondary display

      ZTE is back from the grave and maybe a bit crazy.

      seriously - is a forehead and chin really that bad on a phone?

      Is screen size in ration to the overall size of the phone really that big of a concern? I used to be a fan of the Samsung Notes (except for the 7, that went out with a BANG) because of their size, but realized that size of the screen isn't everything and went to a smaller phone, and am quite enjoying it. I have a secondary screen that shows me the notifications right above the main screen. I'm good.

      You have what? secondary screen?

      Currently have a LG V20, which has the secondary screen right above the main screen.

    • RE: Red Hat Discontinuing KDE in RHEL and CentOS

      In light of recent events (looking at you IBM), was this impacted because of the recent acquisition or something already on the table already?

      Would this eventually have some impact on Fedora in the future?

      Are there plans on replacing KDE with something of their own development?

      Are there plans on deprecating any other desktops?
