Thanks. I had heard of that, but didn’t know the abbreviation.

You’re absolutely right about just doing Git.

My previous post should have been a lot more experience, not some more.

Question: I have Putty installed, XMing or whatever it is installed, X11 forwarding enabled in Putty, but when I try to open emacs from Putty it only opens in the cli.

Does it have to be a program I have installed on my PC?

Am I doing it the wrong way? I need to modify a .js file on the server. Should I be accessing it some other way? Raspberry pi server, Windows 10 client, Edgerouter Lite router. Home network, UPnP off because I’m not a complete idiot. Pi has a static IP on the same subnet. The more user friendly the better because my wife will be accessing the same server. Although she does know how to access FTP servers if that’s the way to do it.

Am I missing something in the description saying it's unpaid? There's no mention of compensation and the 'employment type' says 'full-time', leading me to believe it's paid.

They're probably just trying to attract Masters graduates to a 6 month contract by selling it a different way. And massively underpaying them at the same time.

I do remember when I was looking for an internship one offer I had was full time but they let you know it's unpaid right away. I managed to find one that pays $10/hour though.

If you're trying to attract top-talent to for an internship and your not specifying that it's paid then your HR team is full of idiots.

Is that still how things work? I've been passed the internship phase for a long time now...unpaid internship with master's degree preferred? That just seems pants-on-head insane to me right off the bat.

On that note, when you are ready, look at putting minikube on your pi and set up a pipeline to deploy with git push.

But you don't need to worry about it until you have something to deploy.

I've heard of Minikube but don't really know much at all about it. If I know nothing about Kubernetes how hard is it to learn/set up? Minimal Linux knowledge. I'd rather not gently caress with normal Docker anymore until I get web dev stuff moderately down. I tried setting up Shipyard on the Pi but couldn't get it working right. That's when I gave up.

Start with docker before kubernetes or minikube. Docker containers is what you’re going to run/orchestrate with k8s. It’s like starting to learn how to run before you learned how to walk.

If you only have minimal linux experience, everything you do with it will take a bit longer because of that. There is no shame in that, everybody starts somewhere. As The Fool said, just start doing stuff and don’t worry about doing it 100% right at the first try. You will make lots of mistakes but that’s where you are gonna learn the most from. Don’t be afraid to make them and realize that every mistake at your home project will just make you smarter (and less likely to gently caress stuff up at work). Celebrate your failures.

Look up Jenkins (or if your code is all on Github, Travis) and use a post-commit hook to automatically checkout on the target server(s) and reload services if necessary.

Are there any decent command line utils that do windirstat style lists of something like the top 10 biggest directories on a drive?

I'm trying to give us a more actionable report from kaseya.

I've messed around with DU from sysinternals but it's kinda meh.

I've googled and found some leads but I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction.

I just rolled out a bunch of cisco 1562i APs recently to fully cover a nasty industrial space with floor to ceiling machinery all over surrounded by moving storage lanes of lumber (excellent rf absorber)

Mounted 30ish ft up in a grid to do location tracking and provide connectivity to piece of poo poo scanner guns and tablets on fork lifts.

Works great and the survey was done by me using ekahau.

Where the hell is my SWORD?
Grimey Drawer
This may be a dumb question but I want to make sure I’m doing this properly. This weekend, we are sun setting a file server and replacing it with a newer one. In the past we’ve used a different file server name and just changed some mappings, no big deal. This time we want to move the file shares to a new server and keep the names and mappings all identical in group policy. If I just set up new server with a different name and IP address, move all the file shares, then give the new file server the same name and IP as the old file server after shutting off the old one will things just..work?

So before cutover it’s something like

\\serverA\share1 with a server ip of 10.0.0.1
\\serverB\share1 with a server ip of 10.0.0.2

And after

Original server A is off. Server B is now A

\\serverA\share1 with a server ip of 10.0.0.1

You'll need to make the DNS records for it but it should work. A more future-proof option that you're probably not going to have enough time for is to look at DFS-N.

Agreed 100% on DFS-N. Don't confused it with DFS-R and make yourself crazy, though.

Server 2019 has a new feature for file server migrations. Moves files, confirms everything, and keeps name and IP before you click to cutover. Maybe... 5 seconds of downtime. The old server is then a read only hidden copy.

What the hell I want to move to this jeez. 2019 is still in preview?

Also it’s coming from server 2003 so would that even work if not?

At least you can give the server the name of the old servers safely, through windows server using aliases (feature since 2008).
