  3. Major bruh moment - on Windows 10 Enterprise (LTSC), Microsoft Edge was added as a  startup item. Caught it in Task Manager.

  4. Another reminder to avoid Oracle if you're any larger than just an individual:

    Oh look, another bug that causes Edge to invade…

    This is why I hate seeing Edge get re-installed whenever certain updates come in

    Okay, so draft of plans for the next phase of P…

    Updated instructions (2024) for when the DL580 Gen9 arrives: activate iLO4 (Advanced) for unrestricted remote console access UEFI/firmware updates (if I can get my hands on them) UEFI and RAID 6 array configuration ESXi 7.0u3 install, driver and security patch installation macOS unlocker for ESXi 7 Management and vMotion VLAN configuration (NIC teaming) link ESXi to existing vCSA Transitioning to the new server will require running both servers at the same time, to attempt a Cold Migration (in opposed to Storage vMotion, as I originally had assumed) from one host to the other. Power off Windows Server 2019 VM and attempt the VM migration. https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1005241 https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2084419 http://techyguy.in/how-to-migrating-virtual-machines-with-rdms/ The VM can't be online for this, so hours of downtime and waiting. No VPN access, so I have to swing by the server room every few hours possibly. Need to have multiple 10GbE links ready, to expedite this. hMailServer will continue to use the MariaDB instance that's on the Windows Server 2019 VM. Nextcloud's DB will remain on Window Server 2019 as well. Artix OpenRC and ArcZ0 will be cold-migrated as well -- both are now using UEFI. Will create ArcZ1 after the migration. Then move the containers from Artix OpenRC (Docker) to ArcZ0 and ArcZ1 (Podman). FreePBX Distro will be clean-installed on Debian, and restored from a backup. No longer based on CentOS. macOS would hopefully be the easiest one to pull off. Remove GPU, perform a Cold Migration, re-add GPU. Then upgrade from Monterey to Ventura, and update Xcode + MacPorts. Moving the Windows 10 VM to the new host via Cold Migration will be easy, hopefully. Folder redirection is handled by Windows Server 2019. Lastly, moving the vCenter Server Appliance (v6.7) to the new host. Then upgrade to 7.0. That's using only datastores, so that could be moved without Cold Migration. Once all VMs have been successfully moved/installed onto the new host, I'd kill off the old backups to replace them with new ones that reflect the new configuration. After that, it'd be time to offline the old ESXi host and let the new one take its place. https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2084629 https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1001493 Decommission the old server and mothball it for storage. All of this assumes that nothing goes wrong...

  9. Haven't found another source for this yet, but there's probably an article out there:

    Here's to hoping Google delivers. Not to say that I want Google to decimate someone, but Bard was initially a bit underwhelming.

    Linux needs to get to a point where it's superior to Windows in so many ways that it makes Windows look bad -- even to newcomers. Like, be more reliable and easier to use. Full-on embarrassing Windows.

      Windows isn't bad enough

      This one sentence is probably the best answer to the question "Why has linux not taken over yet?".

      he's correct.

       

      Also the most important reason as to why no one is using Linux:
      Windows isn't bad enough. In most cases, it works well enough that no one even considers moving to a different OS. As long as I can run my games and browse the internet, why would I choose Linux? 

      Also people just learned to deal with Windows problems. 

       

      If you switch to Linux you will run into different problems you may not know how to deal with because you don't even know what's causing them. 

      From my experience those are simple issues you can fix in 5min if you know exactly what's causing it or spend whole day tinkering because you don't even know where to start.

    I swear windows 10 hasn't got some of the more…

    It seems that network connection priority may be a manual setting: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/how-to-change-the-priorty-sequence-of-the-network/f5f17a64-e913-4e15-9737-08f141dec6d6 I've played around with it before, but almost never had to prioritise WiFi over LAN
  14. AMD has been quietly funding projects over the years, in an effort to get CUDA-based code running atop HIP/ROCm with as little developer intervention as possible. One of the more recent projects was ZLUDA:

      As a Stable Diffusion user who pretty much has to rule out AMD GPUs for my next upgrade due to lacking CUDA (and Linux know-how, long story), really hope this is the major breakthrough in making AMD GPUs suck less in AI/machine learning. (And considering AMD again for GPU upgrades)

       

      Better get to work on this open-source'd code!

    Is this a GIF? Or some other prank?
  16. Reddit post, because I haven't seen a news article/alt. source for it yet.

     

     

  17. We'll see if Apple and Google actually support Right to Repair. Something tells me they'll find a way to make any new implementations of it less effective than originally intended...

      They use it as a PR and actively try to hurt it with malicious compliance.

    It's a little sad looking up the manufacturers…

    Some things don't age as well as we expect.
