  Proxmox is a decent option, or just use kvm provisioning directly with ansible.

  Who cares?

  Naemon + Graylog work for us.

  They were when HP was run by engineers.

  Nope. Just install from the play store.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia Shield is getting Auro 3D audio support, full-screen ads⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  +1 for projectivy. Easy to use, looks good, stays out of the way. I use it on my shield and also use it on my cheap onn pucks.

  If you have the background and get the right head hunter, you can get sponsored for your TS/SCI. I used to work for a place…

  I will tell you, however, that working in a SCIF is not as awesome as it looks on TV.

  On that note, mint does transparently allow you to use cloud resources like one drive (maybe not that specifically)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Great for car camping. I’m using a jackery for power in my van until I have the time to finish my build with something bigger and more permanent. For now I just jack that into the house fuse box, and plug it into the van to charge while driving. I have a solar briefcase to put out when camping.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux isn't ready for professional work?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been using Linux as my personal and professional workstation since the 90s. I get things done. The OS does what I tell it to do without trying to sell me things or throw toll around nonsense in my face.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FCC to propose a minimum 100mbps to qualify as broadband, with a future goal of 1gbps⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Worse, they do that crap for my business account. Great for the vpn to the office.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Chrome to soon get a new ‘IP protection’ feature: Here’s what it does⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  So a proxy of their own so Google can watch everything you do themselves? GTFO.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Is Becoming a Band-Aid over Bad, Broken Tech Industry Design Choices⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s going away with people like poettering running the show.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft to kill off VBScript in Windows to block malware delivery⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  IT isn’t developers. What is really needed is a developer on your team, or somebody who at least knows how to lead the effort. I’ve been that guy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Ads should be separate from content and not interfere with it. Ad blockers likely wouldn’t be a thing if this were followed. Also, ad networks are a security issue. Host them on your own servers with relationships with advertisers if you must have them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  They could always make actual relationships with advertisers and host ads on their own site. And make it not interfere with the content itself. Difficult concept, I know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Need help with a backup solution⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Borg for local data backups to backup share on nas. Proxmox takes guest snapshots. Rclone all of that to rsync.net. bonus, Borg can use the rcloned remote, if necessary, directly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Older games with female protagonists?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Alien isolation stressed me out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What technological mega project is practical to build today?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Trains you can park cars on. Would be great for camping weekends where I need all of my gear but don’t want to drive for hours.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Leave The World Behind | Official Teaser | Netflix⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Was skeptical until I saw that Sam Esmail is involved.

  Ansible?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Techies are paying $700 a month for tiny bed 'pods' in downtown San Francisco⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Eeesh. Just get a van and convert it. Park at work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Antenna TV is pretty cool, actually⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Especially with an hd home run and Plex. With a cheap tablet and phone tether I can watch my live tv anywhere while camping in the van.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Attention Office Resisters: The Boss Is Counting Badge Swipes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Hack the reader. Install a device that clocks you in and out automatically or remotely. There have been a few defcon talks on how insecure these systems are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cisco buying cybersecurity company Splunk for $28B⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Graylog has been mostly solid here too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sonos is down…⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to by used CDs and rip them myself. So I have my own collection. But to discover new music and listen to things I may not wish to own, streaming is the best option.

  The solution? A plex server with a music library that points to your own collection. Then get a Tidal subscription through Plex. You then add Tidal music to your own library as if you were downloading or ripping yourself. Listen with plexamp.

  Now you can listen to things both locally and streamed seamlessly. You can do artist radio to discover new music and manage smart playlists on the plex server itself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The lengths we have to go to⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Programming languages that use white space to delimit structure are annoying at best. I get annoyed at yaml, too, but I’m ok once I have a few templates set up.

  You can’t drive a helicopter down the freeway. You can’t land one just anywhere.
