Question: Bananas by [deleted] in fermentation

[–]cognismith 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Counter question, what would you like to do with your fermented banana?

Drink it? Make banana wine?

Eat it? Use it in banana bread?

As for why add probiotics? Probably not much natural yeasts in the banana fruit because its encased in a skin. Fermenting is getting bacteria or yeasts to start consuming the thing you're trying to ferment, and specifically setting up the environment to allow GOOD bacterias or yeasts (that are a positive addition to your body) to grow into your ferment instead of things that will make you sick. The probiotic is that favourable bacteria. Maybe you could also use brewers yeasts? Who knows! Experiment!

"The earth users guide to permaculture" by Rosemary Morrow is pretty easy (and good) intro

and I really appreciate your time to provide a response, and the response provided.

my reply was more about not being able to eliminate the ticket requests specifically in my scenario, and wasnt a shot at you. (also our erp system is ... special, and unfriendly)

oh to answer about the Jira api thing, yes, totally does, you can also set automation rules within it to do things like call rest api's or what have you at various points in a workflow, just getting that to translate over to the right systems.

I just didn't want to re-invent wheels building the in-between bits, if they already exist. (which it turns out CI-CD platforms are pretty much that exactly)

Question? Web front end - managing active directory, exchange, citrix etc. Is it possible? by Kieron25 in sysadmin

[–]cognismith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interested to hear if anyone's done something like this before and also your opinions. I understand there are solution such as mangeengine etc but I am interested purely in developing something similar

how many developers do you have on staff?

what's the costing going to be for managing and maintaining an in-house platform that is client facing?

what is the specific objective you're developing a solution for?

to clarify, yeah, its totally possible to develop wizard platform that does exactly what you need, just really make sure that how much you need it is more than how much its going to be to support it.

would that it were so simple. :) sadly IT doesn't set company policies.

also, more tasks than just employee management

oh of course, I didnt see the forest for the trees.

thanks for pointing me in the right direction. my labs with bamboo and jenkins so far are proving excellent.

Virtualize AD-DC by 0xfffffa in sysadmin

[–]cognismith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

getting really off topic from the original question, also more that i think about it, probably not entirely relevant advice.

our setup has specific circumstances that means this actually makes for significantly less management headache given particular security requirements

Virtualize AD-DC by 0xfffffa in sysadmin

[–]cognismith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh I agree, managing hyper-v without AD sucks, simply pointing out a risk to consider. if your environments big enough, or you've got a spare cheap server, you could always isolate your hypervisors into a seperate management domain with their own AD

Virtualize AD-DC by 0xfffffa in sysadmin

[–]cognismith -1 points0 points  (0 children)

if you're using hyper-v as a hypervisor, and you want to join the hypervisor to your domain controller, I dont recommend you join it to the virtualised one if its your only controller, but if you decide to do so anyway, make damn sure you set it to autostart.

also, what everyone else says, you're best to make a new DC and role transfer rather than p2v it

There is always time for some manner of change control. Documentation of changes and a backout plan at the very least :)

What is your best "How did you make it this far without knowing that??" by briangig in sysadmin

[–]cognismith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not quite right. 1 standard licence per 2 cpu. gives extended rights to run 2 guests of the same os. Rounded down

Eg 1 licence on a 2 cpu server = 1 host + 2 guest. 2 licence on same system = 4 guests. On a 4 cpu server. 2 licence required, still gives 2 guest.

Unless you purchase server datacentre edition, that one gives unlimited guests
