anyone touch macos server these days? is the management/profile poo poo still nerfed to single subnets or did that change

mac janitor computer toucher here

macos server was already a joke. The only useful part of it left was caching server, and that's not even part of it macos server anymore in 10.14.

Don't use profile manager for poo poo except as a proof of concept. Use a real cheap MDM with something like profilecreator off of github.

Even then , profiles are a small chunk of the management of macos (though apple would have you believe it's all, I almost wonder on the macos dev team if they really believe that, though they use jamf internally) , you'll need something else like munki (open source) or jamf pro (expensive but commercially supported) to actually properly manage that poo poo. Other software stacks will claim to do stuff but are really huge piles of poo poo.

or just an mdm is fine with ios, but, for the love of god, not profile manager

Macos in the enterprise is so far beyond that broken point that golden triangle being broken feels like a footnote at this point

At this point most well-deployed mac organizations don't even bind to AD because apple's implementation is _so bad_ . There's literally 3rd party pieces of software even apple sells that exist entirely in userland to replace binding macos because it's so badly implemented that it bugs out the OS. (The fact that they are now bundling this piece of software in 10.15 is touted as a huge feature. I can not make this poo poo up.)

new zealand is an island that is p much as far away from the rest of the world as you can get so of course it costs more money to get anything there.

it makes sense and factoring that into the used prices line up with the us pricing for similar models. im still fairly impressed all those systems held value for so long and that sort of tracks with all the cheaper chromebooks and windows laptops flooding the market and keeping performance targets low for sites and basic software

I made friends with a new neighbor last weekend. Apparently he's related to a singer that died a couple years ago, and he's part of a private Facebook group for her. Apparently the admin of the Facebook group dropped off the face of the planet and he's scared all the videos that people uploaded to this group are going to disappear someday, and he wants to get all the photos and videos to her father on a USB drive for safe keeping.

I was able to help him out and get 8,000+ photos saved by using a Chrome extension, but I am unable to find anything that can grab all the videos. I tried 2 extensions for Firefox and 3 for Chrome, and all give me problems when trying to download all the videos (all of them downloaded all the photos just fine). I know there's add-ons that let you download the videos individually but this would take weeks as there's several hundred of them. Is there some sort of way to get all of these videos saved to a local hard drive without having to sit there and save them one-by-one?

Anyone

yeah youtube-dl is the first thing i thought of too, but i think youd need to copy the url of each video manually which is prob even slower than just using your browser to download them. i suppose you could scrape the facebook page for video links and build a list of videos, but idk how to do that

so many ways to do that

perl www::mechanize
java jsoup
python beautiful-soup

etc etc

youtube-dl is the final step after you have a publicly accessible url

i had to do something similar for a coffee shop on a small tropical island because it was the only place with reliable internet. except it was some jackass leaving a usb drive in there preventing their computer to work. and the other one had the purple/green ps2 ports switched. it was for my wife’s biweekly unemployment claim, lol. now that’s vacationing in 2009 during an economic meltdown for you.

fixed em both in 5 minutes and got free internet/coffee my whole time there. hell yeah.

idk if this is the best thread, but I have a website for rodtronics http://rodtronics.design it’s on squarespace and it’s OK at best, I can only tell if something looks bad, not how to fix it

but it’s also not worth the money. so i want to move it to something like pointing to a tumblr, which would be fine if I could sticky a post to the top

has anyone got any other suggestions? preferably free? it’s basically gonna link to my shop, link to my social media accounts, and act a bit like a blog/image feed, so a tumblr with a sticky would work.. if it can do that

how much is square space?

if you wanted the exact same thing but lower cost there are tutorials just to move it to like Wordpress or ghost or whatever like this: https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/how-to-migrate-from-squarespace-to-wordpress/

you’d have to selfhost though which would probably be like $2.5-5 a month.

the cheapest option is github pages, which uses the static blogging tool "jekyll"

the easiest option is what you already have -- squarespace

if you get a serious bandwidth constrained free server, seriously, put fastly in front of it. you get $50 of credit for free, it never expires, and we bill at like .015/gig for eu/na traffic. the credit will last forever for any hobby site. even with the default config your actual server bandwidth will drop real low and if you ever make it to hackernews or something you will be glad you have a cdn

almost $30nzd a mo coz i opted for no contract.. $5 a mo would be better.. rodtronics doesn’t make much money lol

i’ll check that tho, wordpress has been around for ages. it doesn’t even need to look like my current one, just work easily. I didn’t even think of wordpress, so thanks. I seem to remember many nice templates 🤔

if you are willing to do enough work to learn wordpress, use jekyll and github pages. same amount of work at the outset, but you don't have to live with wordpress hell

I don't know if this will help anyone, but just in case:

We are Office 2016 users and are forced to update our signatures periodically with an image, that is hotlinked to a website. That's fine and dandy, unless the image is a PNG, in which case Outlook won't let you hotlink it, it switches to a 'The Linked image cannot be displayed' error. Same image as a JPG, same URL, it works fine. Also we don't have the BlockHTTPImages key set either.

I had W10 stable on my dad's hand-me-down iMac (Late 09 21.5, probably literally one of the last ones with an NVIDIA) but the most recent round of updates bootlooped it.

I'd just reinstall OS X but I managed to overwrite the firmware installing an Linux just to see if I could get the Apple to stop showing up at boot. Turns out you can but it's a one-way trip. :sigh:

I tried to update to 1903 for weeks and it didn't work until I unplugged all my USB hard drives. Who the gently caress knows why that worked but give it a shot. I didn't see that resolution listed anywhere. I couldn't even do the manual updates. But unplugging all my USB drives did it.

I have a thing for courageous dongles

Anybody have any luck doing IPv6 with the archer c9 routers? The router is pulling a DHCPv6 address and then distributing out slaac addresses to the network as I expected, but I can't ping anything in ipv6 outside the lan. It's like the default route doesn't exist or something, but there is no way to see an ipv6 routing table on the device. I have an asus router at home that uses the same config but it has no problems.

dhcpv6 is a hosed up mess and the actual useful v6 autoconfig protocols (rd, nd) were not well supported in linux until like five minutes ago

Well to be accurate, I had an eventful Thursday night when I found out that the nvidia drivers weren't loading. Hours later when I found out the source of the issue it was just a sleepy, annoyed night.
