After over 6 straight years of actual larger-Enterprise (heavy Windows/Linux infrastructure) experience and 3 intense years of practice and self-study, I finally made MCSE: Server Infrastructure (2012 R2).

My real (relevant) experience hadn't started in a business environment until closer to 2004, but it has been a goal of mine since then.
It just feels good to have finally reached that goal in a good way.
My wife is becoming a U.S. citizen today. As well as everyone else on the bottom floor. People still coming in.
Some entertainment on the stage while everyone waits for the Oath Ceremony to begin.
I posted a guide on my blog about setting up a Fedora 26 KVM / QEMU hypervisor that uses the Kimchi-project for remote virtualization management, which includes a working web-based VM console.
Here's the link: https://www.timothygruber.com/linux/fedora-26-kvm-html5-remote-access-with-web-console-via-kimchi-part-1/
I hope it helps anyone who needs it as much as it would have helped me had I came across it a long time ago.
It's easy to create on my blog because I can copy/paste images into the editor... it's like working inside of MS Word.
I was thinking of recreating it on here for ML, but not sure if it's worth it or not, as well as the chance of hurting SEO.
Should I take the time to do it and just change the wording a bit?

I know y'all are concerned... Snapchat just went down.
Nope, the whole Snapchat company could disband and I'd never even know it (until you post about it).
@momurda said in What Are You Doing Right Now:
Ordered 2 ssd from newegg. They show up in 2 8"x4"x3" boxes which are packaged inside a 24"x18"x4" box. And lots of those airbag things.
Literally could have fit hundreds of ssd in this packaging.
Now if one doesn't work, you need to ship it back inside of a refrigerator box...
@dustinb3403 said in Recommendations for Cameras:
He wants something "more serious looking" what does that even mean?
I have had great experience with these:
That VMQ thing can be an issue on 1 GB NICs with out-dated firmware/drivers. The info of affected drivers and NICs and the resolution can be found here:
This is a good write-up and how to resolve it. Or you can just run firmware and driver updates.
VMQ should be disabled on 1 GB NICs. The issue with the broadcoms is that it's enabled by default, and shouldn't be.
@DustinB3403 depending on what you want, you can also:
$app = Get-ChildItem -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall' | Get-ItemProperty | Where-Object -Property DisplayName -EQ "Microsoft Edge"
$installDate = $app.InstallDate
@DustinB3403 said in Query Regsitry using a Variable:
@Obsolesce Yeah I got that far along, what I need to pull is a specific string from the output.
I have a few other ways that I was manipulating the string, like writing the entire output to a file and then pulling the 23rd line (for example) but that literally gets everything on that line.
When all I want is the InstallDate
Get-ChildItem -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall' | Get-ItemProperty | Where-Object -Property DisplayName -EQ "Microsoft Edge" | Select-Object -Property InstallDate
$InstallDate = Get-ChildItem -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall' | Get-ItemProperty | Where-Object -Property DisplayName -EQ "Microsoft Edge" | Select-Object -Property InstallDate
$InstallDate
$InstallDate.InstallDate
Get-ChildItem -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall' | Get-ItemProperty | Where-Object -Property DisplayName -EQ "Software"
#or
Get-ChildItem -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall' | Get-ItemProperty | Where-Object -Property DisplayName -Match "Software"
@Fredtx said in 1 large disk or 2 smaller disks for a file server?:
I'm creating a new file server, which will be a VM. The source (original file server) has 1.7TB of used storage. 641GB of that is Marketing (mainly videos), and the rest is Engineering (cad files), User folders (docs,etc), and miscellaneous folders.
Would it be better for me to create 2 virtual disks on the target (new file server), and give the Marketing team their own disk? Or should I just move everything over to 1 big virtual disk?
2 virtual disks versus 1 virtual disk would only matter if you need to do some kind of QoS at the vdisk level. Also, depending on how you do shares and your backup infra may matter, or maybe not.

@Obsolesce
I am sure there is a ratio and pattern needed for the mask, but how would your pattern compare to already designed models?
There's a lot there, lots of sizes and types, no way I'll find exactly what I'm looking for.
Lots of thickness and pattern variance. The thickness doesn't matter at all (2mm thickness is likely fine), just that you don't want it to break easily or be flimsy. The pattern varies depending on focal length, and varies by many other factors. But it doesn't matter where the design comes from. The one I made worked very well. I printed it out on paper, cut it out with a razor blade, and tested it on my scope and it worked well. The only issue is that it's made of paper, very flimsy, etc.
I used Inkscape to convert it to a 3D model for STL. No issues there at all. It looked good in everything. It appears like every pattern on that site you linked, did it the exact same way as I have.
How much does the material cost and in time/electricity to print it?
I did end up finding them at telescopescanada.ca for less than $40 shipped. So I might just go that route if I can't get it done myself for less or without a ton of effort. I found 2 designs that work really well in my testing, and luckily one of them telescopescanada.ca is basically the same.
@gjacobse said in Anyone have a decent 3D printer?:
Few questions
What type of filament are you needing as there are many.
What is this for?
Was the file on ThingaVerse, or 3dCuts or another site?
I don't really know much about the filaments, but the PLA that was used seems like it'd be good enough once I sand it down to be smooth. Maybe other filaments are smoother out of the printer? I don't know.
This is a Tri-Bahtinov Mask for my telescope. I used a generator that outputs a drawing as a SVG file that I can open up in Inkscape to convert to polygon data, and into an STL file for 3D print.
Example I need, but not sure how well it'll 3D print:
@gjacobse said in Anyone have a decent 3D printer?:
Holy crap - yea,.. that's a burnt print.
I have an Ender 3 Pro and it does a decent job of things... As long as, as with anything, you pay attention to a number of factors. Sadly I don't have photos of some of the prints I've done, and the photos I do have are ones I can't release.
Filament, speed, flow, temp and bed adhesion are may factors to deal with. I haven't been able to print ABS as it just peels right off. I do decent with PLA and TPU...
There is a lot that I don't know how to do and don't know if I want to try,.. but I've learned a bit also.
Here is a file I printed for a friend:
I thought since they had a decent 3D printer (Makerbot Replicator+) it would have turned out to be a least usable. I'm not sure how they let come out like that. It was printed in PLA, but I don't really care what's used, so long as what prints out is usable. I've never 3D printed anything, so I don't really know a whole lot about it, but given they have what seems like a decent printer and they operate a printing service, I thought it'd have at least turned out a bit better than it did.
I'm wondering if anyone have a decent 3D printer that works decent for precise printing and knows how to use it so it doesn't look like it was printing during an earthquake.
I attempted to print something for free using a local library, but when I picked it up, seen that it was just totally butchered.
Here's what it's supposed to look like, the .stl file:
And here's what I got from the library:
As you can see, just totally butchered.
If anyone might be able to help me out, I'd like to see what it'd take to get something like this or similar printed and sent. There's another design I'm testing atm.
@scottalanmiller on the other hand, it's a hell of a lot harder and questionable walking out the door with a full server than it is with a / some hard drives. Same with virtual disks, can't copy them to another system and extract data if they are encrypted. I'd still err towards encrypting data at rest (full disk encryption). Also, why aren't servers physically secured?
