@IRJ I think that's the polite way of saying "Snitches get stitches".

I've been programming since the late 80's. I can remember setting the time on my parent's VHS so they could record a TV show.

I can't believe I've been leaving that off my resume all these years!

So, I decided to stop pretending the test was respiring after the first couple of questions. However, I did keep my underwear on through the entire process and managed to pass!

This is a well organized and easily consumable gold mine of material for getting started with Linux. I regularly refer fellow students struggling with Linux to this post. Having the smaller individual posts for each subsection really helps with content retention and keeping things organized logically while tackling the material.

Seems like an issue that should be resolved with company policy, not some overly complicated overly engineered IT/IS solution.

You'll not really benefit from containerized workloads unless you are deploying applications that are designed to be ephemeral and stateless. Trying to deploy an application using a container the same way you deploy an application to a virtual machine, is not the way containers were intended to be used.

Containers should not be thought about in relation to virtual machines, they are two different things. Containers provide an encapsulation and abstraction of a service from the operating system. Containers are not a miniature virtual machine that you deploy your software on or to.

How many Linux servers do you need?

All of them. You need them all.

It looks like they are saying they were not hacked: https://www.teamviewer.com/en/company/press/statement-on-potential-teamviewer-hackers/

That seems to be in conflict with what a lot of people are reporting on /r/sysadmin

Surely they wouldn't mislead their customers to protect their own interests though?

I'm looking for some criticism on the format of the tutorial I just wrote on building a KVM Hypervisor. I've not been working much with my personal site recently, and as I've been playing catchup with documentation at work I figured it would be a great time to replicate my efforts into a generic tutorial and generate some new content.

I'm mostly concerned with the format and the ease of replicating the steps by those that are not as experienced working with Linux. Any feedback and recommendations appreciated.

Thanks!

My fingers are numb. I hope I don't have an aneurysm

Take a step back, breath, and focus. This isn't anything to be stressed THAT much over. At the end of the day it's all just a heap of metal. You've isolated your problem, you're just working on what you need to do to fix it.

1. restore the original failed VM to working order

If that doesn't pan out all you need to do is get a DHCP server up and running and point it at your secondary DC for DNS.

The more stressed you are the more that stress is going to reverberate through your office/users. You've got quite a few people here to help with the troubleshooting, you'll get through it.

Try lubuntu; I have a core 2 duo with 2GB of memory that runs really well with it installed. It uses LXDE by default.

I fucking wish we could get pricing like that in Canada.

Have a buddy buy it for you and hand ship it up.

border agent: That's a nice server you got there.... be a shame if you had to... pay taxes on it! muahahahaha

Nothing to claim, a buddy gave me this equipment from his personal lab.

"In general, the goods you include in your personal exemption must be for your personal or household use. These goods include souvenirs, gifts that you received from friends or relatives living outside Canada or prizes that you won."

Canada customs gives no fucks about gifts, only charging taxes on everything

https://travel.gc.ca/returning/customs/what-you-can-bring-home-to-canada#conditions

And worst case, why not just have a receipt for $100 for computer equipment.

What's the tax on that?

You seem to be under the impression that customs agents are dumb. You would be incorrect in my experience.

Tax rate here is 13.5% so potentially saving $500 in tax is not worth the risk. They can seriously mess with you.

2630x1.25x1.135= $3731CDN.... sigh.

Edit: checked xe.com, it's $1.30:1 sobs quietly for the death of his online shopping fun times

What if we inserted and secured the servers into one of the big bubble bouncy ball things and delivered it via trebuchet?

Now here's another question...would you let an interviewer see your lab setup? Or would it just become another interview question that you blag your way through.

How would one go about doing that, though, I wonder?
