@flaxking said in How M$ shakedown stupid corporations: Aren't they talking about the hypervisors Azure is using? Which I believe used to be a modified version of server 2008 R2? So now being server 2016 would be good news, and thus the improved time syncing. Azure does not run on any version of Windows Server or modified version of Windows Server, at least today. It runs on a highly-customized extremely hardened and stripped-down version of Hyper-V basically, but that is where all similarities end. The management layer on top of that is ARM. But, Azure is WAY more than just VMs. Other Azure services run on Linux, such as ACS and many others. It's not about what they want to run on, it's about building Azure. Windows can't do what Azure does. Hyper-V can't do what Azure does. Linux can't do what Azure does. It's all highly customized platform of many things. Pieces of Hyper-V, pieces of WIndows, pieces of Unix/Linux, etc. Management layers on top of it such as ARM and others.

Also check and see if the patients are in the same DB? They are - all of our patients are in a single DB.. each client of the EHR is in a single DB. I.e. we are a client, and all of our patients are in a single DB. I would put a call in to the EHR for sure and tell them what's been happening. yup, started the process on Friday - then the line got disconnected. I have to call them back today. Hopefully you didn't get disconnected today? Sadly, the call back didn't happen today. Figures.

@JasGot said in Nicaragua Trip: Awesome! thanks for sharing! De nada It was a really great trip.

Wasn't the bios also involved in these mitigations?

@Dashrender said in Windows Server licensing for HA?: @Pete-S said in Windows Server licensing for HA?: But if you didn't run HA, you would only license each server for 6 VMs, with 3 x Windows Server Standard, a total of 6 licenses? Is this correct? When you say a total of 6 licenses, then we assume you are still talking about 2 servers. Each server would need 3 licenses, as each license gives you 2 VMs. Yes.

Is this a local install or a Click-to-Run version? Might there be something odd going on with OneDrive integration (assuming O365).

Nice to see such a high quality show. I wasn't going to watch it but my friend convinced me to. The first episode was pretty good - but I was super sad to see a filler episode for number 2 - it didn't do anything for the storyline that I can tell. Sure it still looked good - showed that this Mando can basically be hit by a Rhino and amazingly somehow not die, etc. I suppose we learned one thing - when the Mando was saved.. but really - who didn't see that coming? Yeah I think there is some merit there. It gave us more of an understanding of his personality though and how he works through things. It was nice to see that he isn't good at everything too. I'm curious if they'll do any real work developing him in regards to the really dumb choices he made. I am hopeful that this series will be more like Rogue One in story telling and less like TLJ. But only hopeful. Mind you I've only watched it once.. what dumb choices you talking about? Like leaving his shuttle where Jawa's could get it, etc? That was one. Another was going into an obvious lair with no care for stealth or proper preparation (loosening a knife in its sheath is not proper preparation). Using violence as the answer for every situation.

@Kelly said in Miscellaneous Tech News: @Obsolesce said in Miscellaneous Tech News: @Dashrender said in Miscellaneous Tech News: @hobbit666 said in Miscellaneous Tech News: Disney+ fans without answers after thousands hacked Disney's system is definitely broken. they claim that one account accesses all Disney stuff - but that clearly is not true. I just tried to log into disney.com and shopdisney.com and my disneyplus.com account didn't work there - in fact it sent me a password reset email because possible compromise. Get your shit together Disney! It seems as there is no (so far) evidence of a Disney+ hack. What I got out of it is lots of account credentials stolen from other previously hacked websites and services that now work to log in to Disney+ due to people using the same username and password across different websites and services. This is the best part about the "We recorded you on your webcam" scam emails. I know what past passwords and emails have been breached completely. Because I get our catchall address, I get all kinds of peoples' passwords, lol.

@Dashrender that is really cool.

@Dashrender said in Remote management of employees personal cell phones ...: Huh - I can't say i agree with you at all. Why do you need access to non company servers over SSH? In any regulated industry preventing the efiltration of data is a hard requirement. allowing outbound SSH would make it trivial for people to sneak data out (or bad stuff in).

@Dashrender said in Windows 10 1909 is Official: I would only expect Teams to auto install itself if you have Office 365 local install installed. I haven't seen Teams show up on any of my office computers - we don't have O365 here. This should be correct. I no of no other mechanism that pushes it out. There probably is something, but nothing I know.

@scottalanmiller said in Never get between a man and his tax credits: @dafyre Don't tempt me haha. I did claim my big move 5 years ago, that was a sweet sweet tax year. Under the new tax code in the US, only military can claim relocation deductions. Unless you.... "relocate out of the US" US citizens are still on the hook for US Income tax. You can deduct foreign income tax (unlike SLAT that was capped). The issue is once it saves you enough locally your tax credit will drop below the US taxes and you'll just have to pay them (So this only helps if you are still net/net higher income tax locally). Even worse, basic tax advantaged accounts that may exist somewhere like Canada may now trigger foreign grantor trust reporting as the US doesn't recognize them.

@scottalanmiller said in NextCloud Client Issues: @JaredBusch said in NextCloud Client Issues: @scottalanmiller said in NextCloud Client Issues: Part of the issue is that the "Grant Access" button does absolutely nothing. This grant access button is a fucking nightmare. doesm't work in Edge or IE. Issues with Chrome and Firefox sometimes. FF is what I've been trying it on. It launches the default browser and that's what I have set. Yes. I've tried all the default browsers on Windows and Firefox. My laptop never had an issue. But has had the NC client for a year or more. A new Fedora + CInnamon laptop works but every reboot pops the grant/allow disaster.

it does help, any solutions for samba file servers, and WSD ?

Nice video. I've found in conversations that if I provided too much technical detail, thinking they wanted to know, it ultimately destroys the conversation and gets everyone off track. Approaching conversations with business value first, technical second, was an interesting growth area for me.

Very odd. I just looked. I'm not sure what you're talking about. The page clearly shows snaps, dnf, apt, pacman, eopgk, and pkg_add for OpenBSD. https://gohugo.io/getting-started/installing Completely different than what I got from the same link this morning. I went to that page, clicked on Linux, and they only showed Brewlinux, which isn't even the current name of the system. Way back machine shows it's been there since at least the 13th. https://web.archive.org/web/20191113183617/https://gohugo.io/getting-started/installing/ Very weird. I wonder if it was a cache somewhere? I definitely poked around this morning and Linuxbrew was the only thing that it had and had it from every link that I tried on their site.

@Emad-R said in Robocopy/7-zip bat file with high compression ratio: try to use those simple put ``` at the start and end to make block And that looks very complex, robocopy is meant to be easy I used it back in the day simply robocopy /mir /mt source target anytime you want to make full copy make 7zip archive of it, like snapshot. I use /mir /mt: most often. Works fine. I sometimes forget /mt: and immediately see slowness with large jobs.

FastStone also works fine. https://chocolatey.org/packages/fsviewer

Currently driving, but should be able to look at update relatively soon.
