So how much weed will be in the next release then?

@StuartJordan said in Microsoft to Launch Linux Version of Sysinternals:

...it would still probably be less than windows though because you need to elevate privileges on Linux and we all know most people run with admin privileges on windows.

That's not related to Linux vs. NTKernel (the Windows Kernel.) They are essentially identical there. You are seeing "common approaches from the userbase" and perceiving that behaviour as being caused by the kernel code, but it is not.

Run Windows uses on a Linux-based OS and they will behave the same as they always did. Put Linux-based OS users on Windows and they are secure. It's the userbase, not the product, that has that effect.

Windows is just as much "need elevated privileges to run" as any highly secure Linux distro, but Windows end users are way more likely to work around that, and be accepting of third party products that demand it.

Port the Windows desktop to Linux, literally nothing will change, because those users will come along with it.

I suppose I was meaning the userbase more then the actual kernel in that statement.

Nice, for ten dollars I'd be happy to pick one up just to play around with. That's certainly in the silly money range.

@travisdh1 said in Red Hat Discontinuing KDE in RHEL and CentOS:

@black3dynamite Aha! They both did it! Yes, I have a thing about an entire desktop worth of space getting forced down into one little bar, and the menu being at least 2 clicks deeper than it was.

Why is the menu deeper? I don't prefer this setup either, but it's no deeper. It's still a button on the desktop for me.

Because as the admin/geek, everything I want/need to use is a submenu of the all programs menu. Granted I mostly just favorite a terminal emulator and be done with it, but it is much farther to move around and menus for me to get through. Give me Cinnamon with a hotkey set for the menu any day.

As long as the search function works, I usually find what I need by searching for it.

@JaredBusch said in How can I build this displaylink driver for fedora 29:

I have a standard Dell USB dock but want to use it with a Fedora 29 user.

https://github.com/displaylink-rpm/displaylink-rpm

That repo has a pull request in for the Fedora 29 updates, but I figured I could build it early for testing. Also I want to get more familiar with doing this on Linux in general.

I have no *devel bits installed on my system. Obviously, I can clone it down and run make, but I wonder if I need any other resources?

Inside the "ci" folder there is a script to let fedora downlad everything and compile via makefile

That did it.

I haven't got to muck around with Netplan yet...

@gjacobse said in Security while Traveling -:

Could something like this or similar be supplemental?

Seems pretty silly.

So here is the question....

What threat do you perceive there being? How do you feel this device addresses that thread?

I don't really see any threat in the first place, and so that makes it extra hard to know how to assuage your fears. But how this device is supposed to help, I'm really unsure.

@jaredbusch said in Error While Updating Ubuntu 18.04 to 18.10:

Always reboot before doing system updates, IMO.

It was freshly powered up just to do the update. So it was.

@scottalanmiller and all, I don't know why you still loosing time. Use my rpms and install freeswitch/fusionpbx in minutes

If you want to exit the SQLite command line shell, the command is dot exit... .exit

@manxam said in Dumb question - linux dd write 0s to multiples disks at once:

@stacksofplates : Now you're just showing off 🙂

Ha I didn't mean for it to look like that, but you did make me realize I made a mistake so I'll have to fix it. Make has a lot of uses outside of jsut building software. It's a pretty awesome utility.

@obsolesce said in Fedora 28 KVM Cockpit Doesn't Show All VMs:

Everyone is always waiting for someone else to report bugs and issues, that's why they take so long to get fixed. Not as bad with FOSS, but a big reason with MS for example.

But I don't know that it is a bug. It's reasonable that it might be, but it's just one possibility.

Because I'm annoying and like things that are text based I like graphviz. However if you want some really nice looking stuff I've used cloudcraft.co. It's AWS specific but has blank shapes as well.

@dustinb3403 said in ResourceSpace - DAM:

Does anyone here use ResourceSpace

Just curious, nothing else.

Never heard of it, But was definitely worth looking into!

yum-cron and dnf-automatic do not use postfix or any other MTA. They simply open and send with a direct SMTP connection by default.

@jnaugle also worth noting, no one actually delivers PRI today, that entire market is a scam. It's actually SIP and then they translate the SIP to PRI on your network edge to make it "sound cool" for people who are out of date and remember when PRI was both still available and actually practical (early 1990s and earlier.) PRI is not nearly as powerful as SIP, nor as cheap, so phone providers long ago "all" moved to providing SIP instead (PRI isn't possible without a physical T1) and "virtualizing" PRI on top of it. All the PRI does it increase cost and lower performance, flexibility and reliability.

So the best solution is to get the phone provider to stop pretending to do PRI and just give you the raw SIP. This improves your phone quality by removing unnecessary steps and limitations, removes the need for you to convert back to SIP (gateway, card, however you do it) and makes everything better for everyone. The PRI interface has no advantages, only disadvantages. It takes the better SIP, and cripples it.

For people running ancient phone systems from before VoIP, SIP isn't possible, so these terrible PRI interfaces are useful for them to continue to be able to hook up those ancient phone systems while still being able to connect to current phone companies. They aren't totally useless, but they are useful only for that one terrible niche case.

Wow this must be an old server. pam_tally was replaced with faillock in RHEL 6.

@romo said in Remote Connect/Support Tools for Fedora, Windows, OS X:

Seems really interesting with the monitoring and the ability to have custom alerts.

@FATeknollogee How has the testing been going?

Haven't done much more than my OP.
I plan to do some more testing over the weekend.
My main goal is to find a ScreenConnect replacement.

@dafyre said in Ethernet link going down and then up after 3 seconds.:

log in to the switch.... and then

sho log -r

That will show you the most recent entries in the log. Look for anything related to STP.

I think it is:

log -r -w

Without the 'show'. The -w switch helps filtering out less relevant stuff.

@dustinb3403 said in CentOS 7.5 not listing ports when added to firewall-cmd:

@jaredbusch Look at the OP, i have telnet listening to those ports.

Ahh, didn't scroll enough.
