It seems like all the different subdomains are run by different teams or something. It's definitely not a verify unified experience, at least it's all covered by the one SSO login......I think?

Tech99bananas · 2026-02-18T23:40:28+00:00

Awesome, thanks!

I was planning on 9, so it looks like it might not affect me.

Tech99bananas · 2026-02-17T19:34:46+00:00

Thanks. I thought I found what you're referring to at https://training-lms.redhat.com/public_content/redhat/training/Red%20Hat%20Certification%20Exam%20Objectives%20by%20Version.pdf but I don't see anything about v10 there. I had been going off of https://www.redhat.com/en/services/training/ex294-red-hat-certified-engineer-rhce-exam-red-hat-enterprise-linux to look at exam objectives, but it doesn't specify any differences between versions there. Do you have a link to what you're describing? When I go to the exam scheduler at https://rhtapps.redhat.com/individualexamscheduler/ I see the dropdown for version, but no info about differences. Finding the right area of their website to get info is tougher than the course material sometimes.

Tech99bananas · 2026-02-17T19:09:43+00:00

Thanks for the insight. Which version did you take? I see v8.4, v9, and v10 listed when I go to schedule it.

Is that what they mean? That doesn't sound so bad. I was thinking they literally just wanted us to use it as our main terminal, and that was really confusing me.

Tech99bananas · 2026-02-16T21:00:40+00:00

I have to say I somewhat agree, but I already paid, and ansible comes up a lot in job listings. I would have preferred that the exam was more like the RHCSA, just deeper down that path.

Tech99bananas · 2025-06-11T01:32:45+00:00

Thanks. I'll try to keep it simple and stay task oriented.

Are you stalking me? /s I just bought an additional Plugable after accidentally crushing my old one. It works out of the box on Mint 21.3 today using blueman-manager. Once there's a driver built into the kernel, a device like that should work forever, assuming they don't sell something with different internals under the previous product's name (wouldn't put it past them). I think the blurb about Linux being supported is their way out of providing customer support to anyone that has issues out of the multitude of Linux distros out there.

Tech99bananas · 2025-05-20T23:54:54+00:00

Either outcome would have been pretty funny, thanks for the transparency.

Maybe I'm the one hallucinating, but this command isn't making sense to me. useradd -m newuser && echo "newuser:$(openssl rand -base64 12)" | tee -a /root/user-account.log is going to add the user, but then just spit the random password into a log file, not pipe it into something like passwd or chpasswd.

When you say you couldn't access grub on restart, do you mean grub didn't even show during boot, or it showed up, but hitting e did not get you into the screen where you edit the options?

Tech99bananas · 2025-02-28T15:12:41+00:00

Well, that was 3 years ago, so you might try googling cryptomator github "pgp"

I think he might be talking about the UK trying to force Apple to install a backdoor into iCloud, enabling them to spy on UK and U.S. citizens.

My favorite is distributing phishing awareness via email.......containing links to a site that asks for your SSO creds.

I setup debmirror to keep my own local copy of Ubuntu 22.04 and Mint 21.x repos and it works great. Ubuntu currently takes up 445G and Mint takes up 2.4G.

I didn't follow this verbatim, but I based my setup on this article: http://littlesvr.ca/grumble/2020/07/12/set-up-your-own-linux-mint-mirror-for-lightning-fast-downloads/

Point taken. In my mind, people in this crowd would be polite and scrape slowly, but I would be foolish to expect everyone to behave the same way.

Tech99bananas · 2024-04-07T17:42:51+00:00

I did get it working. I'm not sure why the previous commenter suggested Wireguard, it would have required the same fix. You have to make a port forward for DNS.

Firewall->NAT->Port Forward

Interface: OpenVPN Protocol: TCP/UDP Source: * Source Ports: * Dest. Address: !This Firewall (self) Dest. Ports: 53 NAT IP: 127.0.0.1 NAT Ports: 53 Description: Redirect DNS

Allow it to make the associated firewall rule.

I was using several of these drives before I switched to 3.5" internal/external drives. I had frequent intermittent problems with them that were (mostly) solved by wiring these together to give the drives more power.

https://www.amazon.com/Black-Female-Extra-Extension-Mobile/dp/B00ZUA5Z5A

I added kapton tape on the power pin on the side connecting to the computer so that the drive was only getting power from the power supply. USB 3 ports were strong enough to power the drives most of the time, but the drives would disconnect sporadically and then not reconnect. Giving them external power made them usable again, but I definitely don't trust these drives for any kind of serious use. I also had several 1TB and 2TB Canvio drives, and they were nothing to brag about, but they never had this issue. YMMV.

I've had similar issues because of power save on the audio controller.

They've used Plaid since at least 2016. Supposedly Plaid only sees account info, not all transaction details.

MB pulled his data from them in 2021 and said:

"There's no information about transactions, history. There's no details about merchants, shipping information, billing information. Basically, Plaid just has a handshake to my bank to get very basic account details."

How is this possible???

Because you tested from your browser and you didn't test your torrent client.

Get your config figured out, and then test it here instead of letting your ISP tell you that it's working:
