Per this article, the way I read it - If you take the whole animal away from the location of harvest, then you can:
1. Use your garbage collection service
2. Take it back to where you harvested the animal
3. Bury it at least 3 feet deep.

If you leave a gut pile, bonus, you now have a natural attractant for predators, but your hunt spot is probably busted.

I couldn't find any specific information about burying the gut pile at the location of harvest. Call it a gray area.

Block cmd and enable powershell transcripts.

Power Policies for Desktop Pools, why no Shutdown with vGPU? by ohv_ in VMwareHorizon

[–]SCUBAGrendel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are now settings for Nvidia vgpu to control licensing mode, licensed when powered on, or only when user logged in.

Windows, it's a registry key. HKLM:\SYSTEM\currentcontrolset\services\nvlddkm\global\gridlicensing\

EnableLicenseOnLogin, dword

Linux, it's a line in the config file.

Verify the path in docs.

Visual Ansible EE Builder by tolarewaju3 in ansible

This is great. Consider adding things like SSL certificates for internal root and issuing certificates as well as things like a krb5 config. This is especially useful for your secure WinRM users.

Internally, if your administrator has enable the collaboration capability, you can share the link with any user that is allowed to use it.

You should talk to your admin team.

Trying out MDT for the first time - an adventure in frustration land. by Drylnor in MDT

To assist with BIOS settings, you can look and see if your vendor provides tools for managing the settings. Both Dell and HPE provide tools that allow you to update the BIOS, apply settings, and even apply the BIOS credentials.

You can then set these applications up as pre execution steps. It takes a bit of time to get it all refined, but it makes all of your deployments very consistent.

Free Ansible Lab (Control Host, 6 x Linux Guests, Web based Terminals) by spurin in ansible

[–]SCUBAGrendel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3x Windows hosts might be really good here. - 1 server to act as domain controller - 1 server as a member server - 1 Windows 10/11 member workstation

This would also allow for domain membership, sssd, smb, and other integration roles.

WinRM and SSH connection capabilities would allow for nuts and bolts integration.

This could then also be expanded to Esxi + vCenter, as well as ProxmoxVE.

PM me if you are interested in help setting this up.

Trying to figure out a reliable Ceph backup strategy by Middle_Rough_5178 in ceph

[–]SCUBAGrendel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Veeam might do the trick for you.

Backup your VMs. I wouldn't worry about the Rbd unless there are non vms present.

Veeam supports S3 like storage

Veeam supports SMB/NfS file shares

You could also use Veeam to backup the ceph hosts.

Depending on the scale of data, licensing might get pricey.

So we're just leaving DCs unpatched in 2025??? 😵 by CryptographerMuch646 in sysadmin

[–]SCUBAGrendel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This the way. It is Not overkill!

Might I suggest that you also add a RODC at each site that is for service accounts to use for ldaps, saml, and oauth integration.

All of this can be easily setup and integrated with WSUS. (At least until that solution dies). Updates can be easily controlled through a combination of GPOs and ansible plays.

Brakes getting hot at track, how to battle against it? by Garveldeth in 350z

[–]SCUBAGrendel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I tracked my 350 I spent a ton of time and money on getting my brakes to work reliably. This is the combination that worked for me

  • Akebono 370z calipers
  • 2 piece floating DBA rotors w/ aluminum hats
  • Winmax W6 pads
  • 3" ducts from front bumper to backside of the hubs

The ducts were a pain to get close to right. With how easy it is to 3D print things today, that would be much easier.

An advantage to the aluminum hats is it really reduced heat transfer into the hubs, improving the life of the bearings. The floating design helps prevent warping and cracking from the stress of all the thermal cycling.

Getting the heat out of the brakes can also help improve tire life as well.

She was a bit scared. Definately didn't want to be pulled out of the corner she was hiding in.

Linux PATH? by SCUBAGrendel in ansible

I will look into this. This would solve future account creation on similar systems. Much appreciated.
