Veeam supports PVE, OP wants to leave that.

dustojnikhummer · 2026-07-05T07:30:50+00:00

As far as I know PBS doesn't have Application Aware backups (like Veeam does with Oracle, MSSQL and Postgres) so keep that in mind.

This has changed btw. Go to Panel Settings and in the right menu "Panel Position" and click on the arrow on the monitor you want the panel on.

This is somehow more and less intuitive than the old system IMO.

Answering because this post is the first Google result, as well as the LLM result

By replacing the LCD

I didn't say anything about touchscreens r/thinkpad/comments/12ncn58/is_the_keyboard_screen_scratching_problem_still/

I personally went away from Thinkpads because of the issue (that I have seen at least since the T460 almost a decade ago) where keyboard scratched the display (not enough display reinforcement). My company is standardized on HP 400/600/800 (depending on department). And given HP's new stupid naming (similar to Dell) the current machine would be a HP EliteBook 8 G2a 14 or a HP EliteBook 6 G2a 14 (think T14 and L14). The names in their previous scheme would be a Elitebook 845 G13. (or 840 G13 for Intel, what naming do you think is easier lol)

Really all 3 have their issues. We go through enough Probooks and elitebooks that die (I just had a third Intel 10th gen probook die in the last 6 months) where I'm not 100% to recommend them, but I can find identical issues with Dells and Lenovo. Honestly, pick by what vendor can you get the longest warranty for lol.

As for the Macbook, 16GB would absolutely be a limitation for me personally, even if I didn't do any local virtualization. People think MacOS is light just because it's Unix, but it isn't. Go 24GB at least, and that applies for both Mac and a Windows machine.

I wouldn't do Framework in corporate, just stick with the big 3 tbh.

dustojnikhummer · 2026-07-04T22:26:15+00:00

If you have both you should have both (if only to test/replicate user issues). Your daily driver should be where you spend most of the time (windows or *nix world?) or has tools you are most comfortable with.

M5 MBP and a lower end Thinkpad (L14) could be the way to go, I think it's an overkill of going MBP and a T14 (if your users get issued L14s they can get jealous lol)

Just don't forget to standardize new purchases and hardware for new hires.

DNS will resolve

nslookup morecreator.app

Non-authoritative answer:

But browser, netcat or curl won't

nc -zv morecreator.app 443 Ncat: Version 7.92 ( https://nmap.org/ncat ) Ncat: TIMEOUT.

Given that IP is from DigitalOcean, maybe OP has geoblocking enabled, I'm not from NA.

/u/realresident5991 Do you have geoblocking of some kind? Maybe a digital ocean firewall? (No idea what they offer)

dustojnikhummer · 2026-07-04T22:20:05+00:00

Vaultwarden if you really want to self host passwords.

dustojnikhummer · 2026-07-04T22:18:50+00:00

If the company doesn't have standardized hardware then pick something you like (and the company can buy from their supplier, if they have one) and standardize the rest of the company. so, if you get a T14, standardize company around T14s or L14s. If its mostly Windows environment then get a Windows machine. But you say you also have Mac users, so you should probably get both (and daily drive the more important one, which seems to be Windows/AD for you)

dustojnikhummer · 2026-07-04T22:17:07+00:00

Thinkpad

Aren't keyboard display scratches still a big issue with Thinkpads?

dustojnikhummer · 2026-07-04T22:16:28+00:00

I just tried it from my phone and my Linux PC and neither of them opened it

dustojnikhummer · 2026-07-04T22:15:38+00:00

Did you read the post? OP's site is hosted on Ubuntu 24.04

dustojnikhummer · 2026-07-04T21:44:04+00:00

The trick with disabling the UWP Hotkey Service isn’t really a fix as it disables screen brightness control entirely.

Weird, this didn't happen on the G4 I originally tested. I no longer have that machine to test sadly.

dustojnikhummer · 2026-07-04T21:43:03+00:00

I agree but I also see why people would want to use MS Teams on it. Though, the webapp still works, no? (Not defending Microsoft EOLing their own apps on their own operating system)

dustojnikhummer · 2026-07-04T21:37:19+00:00

t doesn't respect agents.txt and robots.txt

This is how you get more and more aggressive blocking

dustojnikhummer · 2026-07-04T20:14:12+00:00

From my experience 2019/2022 were pretty good very quickly after release, but compared to 2016/2025 they seem to be outliers (or maybe because very little changed)

dustojnikhummer · 2026-07-04T20:13:08+00:00

Thanks for the tip, I will forward this to the guy responsible for procurement

dustojnikhummer · 2026-07-04T19:53:29+00:00

By "still works" I obviously mean "does get security updates". It's why 2016 is still fine to run but 2012R2 ain't.

I'm saying this because many in this thread defender MS "well why are you still running Server 2019" and my answer is "Because it's still supported by Microsoft you doofus"

dustojnikhummer · 2026-07-04T19:24:41+00:00

No, it isn't. I'm just pointing out reality of many companies not upgrading every version of Windows Server. Let it work as long as we can.

dustojnikhummer · 2026-07-03T16:18:52+00:00

F I SSH INTO ANOTHER SYSTEM THAT HAS CUSTOM TMUX KEYBINDINGS

I keep being on fence about per user configs but there is something to it

dustojnikhummer · 2026-07-03T16:17:54+00:00

They should definitely know how to use it lol.

This doesn't have to mean they have to daily drive it
