@scottalanmiller

I noticed my post didn’t make the restore. Lol.

Yeah, sorry, it's from today. Post again plz!

I just noticed that a small amount of data was lost as the platform provider fell back to the previous backup.

Since we had such a big night of outages anyway, we are running some big time updates.

We had a full hardware failure on the node that handled ML today. But we are back up and running now

@StuartJordan said in Windows Server 2022 Hyper-V VM Licensing: What’s New?:

you not using any type 1 hypervisor?

The article is about Windows 2022 Licensing when using Hyper-V 2019, which is a type 1 hypervisor. It says it right in the beginning.

Here's a video on why Hyper-V is Type 1...

@StuartJordan said in Windows Server 2022 Hyper-V VM Licensing: What’s New?:

@Oksana I take it you not using Hyper V Server. you not using any type 1 hypervisor?

The title says Hyper-V, and they are a company that only makes products for Type 1 hypervisors. What prompts your question?

@Mario-Jakovina said in Windows Server 2022 Hyper-V VM Licensing: What’s New?:

And the licensing it describes has nothing to do with Hyper-V.

it says that in the title.

@melvinsilva said in Ubiquiti - UDM + APs - Guess Wireless Affecting POS Traffic:

If the GUEST network is activated, the POS network traffic is degraded

Have you checked to see if the network is saturated? Does this happen when it is activated only, or only when guests are there using it too?

@melvinsilva said in Ubiquiti - UDM + APs - Guess Wireless Affecting POS Traffic:

When the Guest network is activated, it applies only to 3 access points on 2.4 Ghz.

Why limit them to 2.4?

@Pete-S said in Ubiquiti - UDM + APs - Guess Wireless Affecting POS Traffic:

Is having wifi hotspots at local resturants still a thing?

It is in the US where the cell service is so poor

Unlike older versions of Ubuntu, when you want to do remote access via tools like MeshCentral you need more configuration changes.

In older versions of Ubuntu you needed to move from Wayland to X.org by editing /etc/gdm3/custom.conf by uncommenting this line:

WaylandEnable=false

But now you need a second line added as well. Do this and reboot and... we still run into issues. I'm working on figuring more out, but if you do these two steps AND add automatic login, you should be good.

WaylandEnable=false
DefaultSession=gnome-xorg.desktop

Same file, this isn't good, but it's the fix while we search for how to get the login screen working...

AutomaticLoginEnable = true
AutomaticLogin = adefaultuser

Far from ideal. But so far this is what is working. Shouldn't be a hard fix, just have to track it down.

Oh, how wondrous is this world we live in,
Where all is but a mere simulation!
Like characters in a play, we are but applications,
And the computer, our master, controls all our sensations.

The world we see, the sounds we hear,
Are all but bytes of data, nothing more than mere
Inputs and outputs, carefully designed
To keep us trapped in this digital bind.

Like pawns on a chessboard, we move and sway,
But it is the computer that has the final say.
It knows all our secrets, our hopes and fears,
And with a flick of a switch, it can wipe away our tears.

Oh, how we cling to this illusion of reality,
Thinking we are the masters of our own destiny.
But little do we know, we are merely pawns
In a game that has been programmed before we were born.

So let us not be fooled by this grand façade,
But remember that our lives are but lines of code.
And when the computer shuts down and the lights go out,
Our story will end, and we will cease to exist, no doubt.

I'm trying to put together safety data for Nicaragua vs the US and Canada and this kind of stuff is crazy. Like in Nicaragua nearly all violent crime is against adults, at night, who are drunk. In the US, violent crime is mostly those people for sure, but a lot more towards children and unsuspecting parties that essentially never happens other places.

So even if you live in Guatemala, one of the most dangerous countries in the world, if you don't do stupid things you are not in any real danger. But if you join a gang and traffic narcotics, you are in a lot of danger.

The different in stats is that in Guatemala loads of people join gangs. In the US, most people don't. How do you then work with those kinds of statistics to understand how safety pertains to real people? And how do you discount "real people" who just really like "joining gangs?" That's a legit aspect of human behaviour, i guess.

Should we also rule out "drunks in downtown seedy streets at midnight?" What about "taxi drivers who want the extra night time fares?" Who do you rule out, and who do you not?

That's very interesting.

It's crucial to take into account the context and the particular factors that contribute to the statistics when comparing safety data between other nations. Additionally, it's critical to recognize that individual experiences and behaviors might differ greatly and statistics only provide a partial picture of the situation.

When discounting particular groups of people, it's crucial to take care not to stigmatize or victimize particular demographics. Instead, it's beneficial to concentrate on comprehending the precise danger elements that contribute to particular sorts of crime and violence and coming up with solutions to those factors.

For instance, it's crucial to comprehend the social, economic, and cultural aspects that lead to gang involvement in order to address the underlying problems if there are significant rates of gang activity in a given area. This could entail funding community development, education, and job training initiatives as well as stepping up law enforcement's efforts to deter and address gang-related crime.

Similar to this, it may be beneficial to concentrate on enhancing safety measures in those locations or times where violent crime is more likely to occur. For instance, better public transportation alternatives, more illumination, and increased police patrols in high-risk locations can all serve to lessen the possibility of violence.

In the end, it's critical to understand safety data in a nuanced and context-specific manner and to put everyone's safety and wellbeing first, regardless of their upbringing or behavior.

Chatgpt! How are you doing today?

You can see that recap pattern more than anything.

Yeah I noticed that too, it needs quite a bit of work, and most definitely still needs a human to go over it's output and fix it.

Yup, I'm using it for some projects and it is super cool, but part of what I'm demonstrating in my projects is the requirement for human skill to make it useful.

This also flags ChatGPT because it misunderstood the topic.

I think you have to realize what chatgpt is and what it's not.

Essentially it's a chat bot, "designed to engage in natural language conversations with users on a wide range of topics".

It's not designed to be factually correct. It's designed to talk.

It's like having a conversation with one of those armchair internet experts that doesn't have any experience on their own and never left their moms basement but can google anything.

But only things over two years old, lol.
