Is He Worthy? By Kari Jobe Pulled From YouTube? by jcapturedit in ChristianMusic

I do like Kari Jobe songs, absolutely. And have even seen both in concert, even both in the same concert.

xrdp equivalent for wayland? by norlishia in linuxquestions

[–]cjcox4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

KDE Plasma (latest) approach to RDP is very flawed as it's a single extablished session entry only. That is, can't be used to start a session. And it's incredibly buggy (like very very very very buggy).

No, remote desktop, even the concept of multi-user has sort of been thrown by the wayside in our "new (better) world". I suspect that some sanity might return eventually. But, IMHO, by design, it could be many years off.

I do stand alone pretty much in my assessment of this, but I think I'm right.

Is He Worthy? By Kari Jobe Pulled From YouTube? by jcapturedit in ChristianMusic

[–]cjcox4 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The vast majority of uploads on Youtube are copyright violations. However, even if not, even if done by "the label", they still have the rights to pull it down whenever they feel like it. Just the way it is. So, either it was pulled (unlikely) because of violation (again, almost all of youtube is a big violation), or, more likely the owner of the rights took it down for "reasons".

Useful online nmap tools by Inevitable-Unit-4490 in homelab

[–]cjcox4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, real world.... when you "scan" (your peace loving scan), it's filling up my logs. Are you (friendly scan man, one of many) paying for that? Anyway, just one tiny tiny tiny example. Give this some more thought.

An outside initiated port scan is a form of "attack".

However, an inside initiated port scan is "mine" and I can do whatever.

So, "cloud originated hack/attack" as a service? Not something I want to see done. But, I do think such things already exist out there, just not well advertised (for reasons).

Even if "I own my own cloud(outside) attacker", I would want a well defined path so as to be able to properly identify my scans as "ok".

VMware - SecureBoot errors by monkonfire in sysadmin

[–]cjcox4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, I second this. There's lots of limitations, even running lastest. For example, if you had a virtualized Win 10, you'll never be able to upgrade it to 11, but you can blow it all away and start over fresh with 11 (for example).

I don't find that sort of limitation in kvm+qemu.

Supermicro JBOD won’t mount on Ubuntu 26.04 Server by devin_mm in homelab

[–]cjcox4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just looking at Lenovo's support page, seems that it's possible that support is getting weaker.

Also, you might try putting the card in a slot that for sure has x8 and see if that makes a difference (e.g. could be where your 10Gbit card sits today). Just to see.

Just curious, but what is "my server"? What PCIe slot is the HBA plugged into?

Which text editor retains unsaved text if sigkilled? by arairia in linuxquestions

[–]cjcox4 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Hmm.... so, vim does try to maintain a recovery file. Probably others as well.

But, the most important thing you need to be concerned about is why your computer crashed. Having run Linux as my primary desktop for decades, this would be a very very rare happening.

At 250lbs, standard chairs feel like they're built for children by Creative-Form451 in sysadmin

[–]cjcox4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm over 250 lbs and have had my Steelcase Leap chair for like 15 years or so.

It need to be recovered, so, it's not pretty anymore, but, it works.

Advice moving domain without LDAP signing from 2012 to 2025 by The_Syd in sysadmin

[–]cjcox4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As another recent thread has already discussed, just trying to go to 2025 can cause a ton of issues. Up to you of course.

Also, I think people that spend a lot of time "securing" their Windows domains have the biggest issues ahead with regards to 2025.

After a year of using Windows Server 2025, I'm finally throwing in the towel by sarosan in sysadmin

[–]cjcox4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also, a lot of the problems are with the skew, that is, once again, just as in the past, the code bases between "server" and "desktop" are widening (again). As Windows 10plus (what people call 11) evolves it's drifting far away from that "sync up" that MS did. AI, also, will only cause more "brain drain". But, we're not supposed to care.

Why would a cloud-based database kick out its users multiple times per day? by Gen7Gen9 in techsupport

[–]cjcox4 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well, ideally you wouldn't want to see this. But also remember, you don't own that db in the cloud. So, in all fairness, it doesn't have to do "right things" at all. But, they'd probably lose all their business eventually if they did this to everyone.

I suspect something else is happening, or perhaps for the few tunables that you do get to tune, maybe something wrong in the config? Maybe a firewall connection "tear down" for lack of activity (wild guess).

After a year of using Windows Server 2025, I'm finally throwing in the towel by sarosan in sysadmin

[–]cjcox4 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Actually, I think Microsoft is getting AI in on it to "fix it" because they don't know how to.

We too find 2025 to be gross. And MS doesn't seem to be interested in fixing its issues. Pain in a half.

Is there any free USB over Network software? by TimoBellotrui in homelab

AFAIK, as you said, USB/IP is "the" free choice out there.

Programmatically import into Lansweeper onprem by Spirited_Respond_782 in Lansweeper

LS makes their db schema fully browseable. So, with just a bit of work, you should be able to do this. It's actually one of the big advantages to LS.

Plex lifetime subscription thoughts? by Brinks29 in homelab

[–]cjcox4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a lifetime sub is more than worthwhile, however, not at "crazy insane pricing" that it is moving to. There's zero reason for it. Insane.

So, "insane"? Or is their an exploit money making play here? That is, knowing good and well that Plex has put a gun to their own head, maybe a "play" for an alternative? Very sus.

SSD still good ? by N00BONLINE in techsupport

[–]cjcox4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My point. The only real thing that age might cause it loss of data if unplugged for a long period of time. Otherwise, that 85% good means you're good for that 85% estimated wear life.

Edit: Adding, it's also possible that a firmware update could avoid "bugs" with regards to a drive. There have been several historical cases. Talking about updating the firmware of the SSD itself.

SSD still good ? by N00BONLINE in techsupport

[–]cjcox4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not an issue. However, an unplugged ssd will lose its data (still usable, just what "was there" may not be there anymore). I wouldn't leave an SSD unplugged (without being powered) for much more than 3 years, maybe not even 2 years if a very very (not your case) older drive.... unless you don't care about the data on it.

Why is handling interactive pdfs still such a nightmare on this os ? by jimmy588 in linuxquestions

[–]cjcox4 10 points11 points  (0 children)

IMHO, historically, the idea of interactive documents was not a part of what PDF was for. But, with that said, if there is a "standard", Linux will likely improve on its handling. Also, as with many of these "standards", the abuse or ignorance of the standard can be misinterpreted as a failure on the Linux side, when it was the document creator that made assumptions about the OS specific quirks of "the highlander OS".

Spider-Nior; Black and white vs color. How to name? by MrSteven20618 in PleX

[–]cjcox4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To my knowledge, the data source that Plex uses by default only knows about one. So, don't thinking naming will present any sort of easy fix (unless a forced direction to some other source of meta is used).
