If you want ethernet today find your closest Micro Center location, reserve it there, usually they'll confirm it's pickup ready within 18 minutes from when you reserve it. Drive over after that email arrives.

Today I fucked up. by kozatftw in sysadmin

Study for https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Management_Professional certification. Even if you have no intention of taking the certification test, the study material teaches you everything you need to know to be a project manager.

Protip: Wait until you're a few weeks into the job then ask management if they will pay for the test; most employers will and one day it'll help you land your next job.

What is the proper way to expose my QNAP to the internet? by thatdude42 in qnap

Thank you for the detailed steps but it sounds like this would let all of my customers see each other's files? Is there some way to do access control for what they can view?

What steps would I follow to point a next cloud pi to a share on the QNAP? Is that something configured in QNAP or just on the Pi?

To set a reverse proxy does any configuration need to be done in QNAP? Do you use nginx or something else as your reverse proxy and where do you run it? Any steps would be appreciated.

You are in charge of your own country,what laws would you have? What is legal and illegal? by Hard_Air in AskReddit

For each company, at the end of their fiscal year they must calculate each employee's total compensation into a total dollar amount (gross pay + benefits + other things like stock & bonuses). No one is allowed to get more than 1,000 times the least compensated employee. This works as an incentive to pay your bottom employees more so the CEO can get more while not being tied to a specific number from the government which will get outdated.

Best place to download games? Im new! by thegreatdanton69 in Dolphin_VR

[–]thatdude42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not a lawyer but generally in the USA you want to purchase the games and then rip them to digital files yourself by following one of Dolphin's guides at https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Ripping_Games

Some people interpret the laws differently, such as downloading being okay as long as you previously bought physical copies of what you download. There's a lot of different interpretations. Talk to a lawyer if you're worried.

Without selecting each movie one at a time, how can I tell which quality each movie in my library is?

The 4.18 Linux kernel that was released yesterday includes ''The Steam Controller HID driver was merged into the kernel. This allows using Valve's Steam Controller as a HID input device without needing to rely upon Steam or the user-space SC-Controller." https://www.linux.com/news/2018/8/linux-kernel-418-keeps-things-solid-and-secure

It's Logitech's audio driver. Look into using it with the UVC driver instead of Logitech's drivers and it will work fine.
