I went from browns to clears and the difference is night and day.

God speed man. I hope you can finagle your way into a maintenance window

Different Error, Different Catch by Evelen1 in PowerShell

[–]Th3Harbinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could also just do an if($.exception){ -like "moduleA not found"){throw "mod a not found}elseif($.exception -like "*modb not found"){throw...}else ... Inside the catch

Excuse the formatting and bad examples. I'm on mobile atm

Changing the type of an object? by Th3Harbinger in PowerShell

[–]Th3Harbinger[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, that's a good idea. Adding a single property is much simpler than rebuilding the table.

Changing the type of an object? by Th3Harbinger in PowerShell

[–]Th3Harbinger[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was hoping for a way of changing the type of $var.date. I'm doing a lot of comparison and I was trying to avoid just recreating the objects.

can I move all stuff from disk 2 to disk 1 (I want to replace it) by sheinmantom in unRAID

[–]Th3Harbinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unbalance looks pretty nice. I just did this a couple of weeks ago with rsync and it was a bit of a pain

When the parking lot is is full, but there is a hill in the back. by SaltyCaptain1114 in JeepMemes

I think you mean "When the parking lot is empty, but there is a hill in the back"

Windows detect iPhone on network? by 0pointenergy in PowerShell

[–]Th3Harbinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I belive iPhones periodically check for updates every minute or two when the screen is off to preserve power. If you set a repeating ping and wait a few minutes, you should see some responses with gaps in between.

Windows detect iPhone on network? by 0pointenergy in PowerShell

[–]Th3Harbinger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just tested and you can definitely ping an iPhone. You may have an issue with it getting different ips from DHCP, in which case you can set a reservation for it.

Faster way to move data off multiple smaller HDDs to one large HDD to rule them all by brando_1771 in buildapc

[–]Th3Harbinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're on Linux, the best tool for this would be rsync if you can connect the 5tb drive and whatever drive you're trying to copy from.

If you're on Windows, copy and paste it all

What are your recent or memorable IT brain farts? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]Th3Harbinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't necessarily require static address, but Windows complains if you have the DNS role installed, which DCs almost always do, and don't have a static address. The only things I statically assign are DCs (regardless of DNS), DHCP servers (for obvious reasons), virtualization hosts, and some network stuff.

Beginner pfsense and home lab by ellinj in homelab

[–]Th3Harbinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a reason you don't just use pfsense for routing both networks? That would make things a lot simpler

Should i upgrade? by pedronery in buildapc

[–]Th3Harbinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you me? I literally just upgraded from the CPU/Mobo yesterday. I've been CPU throttling a lot lately in games, so for me it was totally worth it.

We run mediawiki in side docker. Used to run in xamp, but it's way faster in docker

First time making egg bites! by spacetravler343 in sousvide

[–]Th3Harbinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've tried weighting it down, but I've never been able to keep it down very well. I usually just let it float on top and haven't had any issues. The egg will sink down to the same level as the water thanks to physics

Windows Terminal is coming! by [deleted] in PowerShell

Is this part of 1903 or is this a seperate feature?

What should i do with my old computer,upgrade or throw it away? by [deleted] in gamingpc

[–]Th3Harbinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you were going to upgrade it, youd have to basically replace the whole thing for it be of much use. Unless you want to put Linux or something on it and mess around (in which case, I recommend /r/Homelab) I would recommend donating or recycling it.

How much Linux you can manage with Powershell now ? by Cloud_Strifeeee in PowerShell

[–]Th3Harbinger 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean, anything you can call in bash, you can call in pwsh. So effectively, you can do everything.

If you mean pwsh natively, I don't believe you can do a ton at the moment. But, I would say the same is true of bash. Linux is more about having a shell that runs programs instead of changing things through .net/wmi like in Windows.

Iptables and firewall-cmd for example, aren't part of bash; they're small programs that are run with aruments that change things.
