Yep, the best way to learn is at home, with age appropriate financial management. Whether that's an allowance or whatever, but walk them through making choices at every age.
Say a dissolvable spring is compressed with a bolt and nut that do not melt in a sulfuric acid solution. The spring has quite a bit of potential energy at this point since it is compressed. Assuming the spring dissolves perfectly (no breakage, just complete disintegration), what happens to the potential energy of the spring?
I'm currently migrating all sorts of stuff to Proxmox.
Nice thing is, VM's and containers are easily copied with systems off, even did a P-to-V of an ancient Win7 machine and am reusing that hardware for Proxmox, and will run the VM in Proxmox until I get everything cleaned up and restructured.
I'm currently running a hypervisor lab to test stuff for friends in the SMB IT space to find a replacement for VMWare. At the moment, Proxmox has the best cost/flexibility/ease of learning, but if Kubernetes is more mature, has better support, that would be a great argument for it.
Hello everyone, I hope I came to the right place to ask my stupid question. I'm currently working in a company that stuck way way back in time. I'm talking some people are still working in DOS level back in time. There is some revamping of this in progres, but it's going to be a long run....
MD is a great idea to promote during this transition.
I've found you also need a company system that is independent of system management tools - some places use a help desk ticketing system, some use a change management system.
Some friends in the SMB space use a single system for their company (IT consulting firms) to track their clients, client hardware purchase dates, contracts, warranty, every change they make, Admin accounts, device ID's, their billable time, etc.
This way all info on a client is maintained in a single place in case (this is the important bit) you get hit by a bus.
That's a common refrain - "what happens if bob gets hit by a bus?". Can't have any knowledge dependent upon a single person, everything needs to be maintained in a single, accessible form, hosted on company servers and backed up.
Being a small operation, this could be a hard sell. Maybe an open-source help desk solution that you can host internally would be acceptible. The hardest part with that is defining roles and who has access to what.
Something you may consider - small orgs have difficulty documenting their systems (basically it's a lack of manpower, you got shit to do, and documentation seems unimportant). Since there's a transition, it would be incredibly useful to introduce requirements gathering and documentation. A typical model defines Business Requirements, which are mapped to System Requirements, which are then mapped to Technical Requirements (e.g. One Business Requirement will often map to several System Requirements, which usually map to multiple Technical Requirements).
Look into Business Systems Analysis, there's some intro docs out there for how to do this, it's pretty straightforward, and you don't have to do all the detail, just having some documentation is better than none.
If you're buying dozens of Office keys, then a site license for Windows and Office makes a lot more sense.
And those licenses are managed between you and MS. Then it's a simple count of Office installations and you know how many licenses you should be using. You typically do an annual license "true up" with MS.
Here's an idea, since you're an MS shop - OneNote.
My SMB consultant friends use it as a secondary, shared, more comprehensive and free-form way to track system docs, changes, etc.
It's so easy to use, just using it yourself will sell it to other people in the company, besides giving you a single place to store stuff (that can easily be shared or copied elsewhere when needed).
When someone asks "where's this" and you can pull it up in seconds in OneNote, they'll be impressed.
Just don't use the Universal app version of OneNote, or use OneDrive - use the full version included with Office. I'm still using OneNote 2016,though I think there's a 2022 version (I keep all notebooks in the 2016 version just in case)
Store your OneNote files on a file share (that gets backed up, and that you can control access), so it only syncs locally. You won't get mobile device sync this way, but it never leaves the premises, and it's not sensitive to OneDrive issues (I've seen OneDrive hose a notebook). (You can do mobile device sync if you store notebooks on a SharePoint server).
I have a personal notebook I work from, plus a work notebook (which is just mine, not shared). I then create other notebooks as needed - I have an IT Reference notebook with saved web pages and docs of how to fix problems. My personal notebook has a section for a current laptop rebuild, with a spreadsheet embedded that I open every day to track changes and problems.
OneNote auto syncs between all devices using a given notebook. You can copy anything into it, even zip files or executables (don't do this, since OneNote keeps 3 copies of a notebook locally - working version, cache, and backup).
Last year I started using the PARA model for my notebooks, and it's a huge help with business stuff: one notebook with section groups (Tabs) for Projects, Area of responsibility, Resources, Archive. I've added a fifth section, Reference, to my work notebook.
I do things like share emails from outlook to OneNote - it puts the email in there with all it's info, then I can add notes as needed for reference. Great for tracking Approvals.
If you start using OneNote, there are numerous paid and free add-ons for it that really extend its ability to sort, search, layout, edit, etc, such as OneMore and NoteGem. Just the calendar showing notebook changes is worth installing either one, but the section and page sorting is a massive help.
I have 15 years of nitebooksbat this point - be judicious in setting up and organizing your notebooks. I've found the idea of Archiving to be hugely helpful.

Allowing others to continue in their delusions is abuse.
If I don't know you, I'll just let you go on with your life. But I'm not letting friends or family continue with their delusions.
I won't tell them they're wrong, just explore their delusions to hopefully help them come to their own conclusions.
In my family there are mentally ill, genetic disorders and neuro-atypicals. I deal with this all the time. It's challenging. But it's a responsibility we all share in the family.

Transitions are game changing. Sounds like someone who doesn't wear glasses all the time. I even had transition sunglasses before I needed glasses - got tired of taking them off going in/out all day.
Not sure who created this (I kkow, XKCD), but it's mediocre.
Double-ended extension cords belongs in the top left right corner. Sounds bad and is bad.
Never had them not work in cold. They change even during heavy snowfall when it's well below freezing and well, no sun, heavy clouds. It's great because they help with the glare from snow.
They transition just fine in winter, even down to 10f or lower.
They have a version that works in cars now. But that's an issue with the car windshield blocking UV. So leave a magnetic "clip on" shades in the car. They look exactly like your frames, with them attached you can't tell they just stick on from the front - they look just like your glasses.
Because I don't have to carry the sunglasses with me all the time?
98% of my time I'm not in a car, and my not mediocre sunglasses work better than the clipons, since I prefer the color, they already block UV and aren't too dark.
Why should I carry something else?
As it is, I put my glasses on when I wake up, and most days only take them off to clean them or go to bed. They're almost hassle free, unlike carrying around sunglasses, putting them on, taking them off, yada yada , like I did for 10 years before I got transitions.
Why do you carry a smartphone, instead of a laptop, tablet, feature phone, GPS, mobile access point, multiple credit cards, rolodex, checkbook, etc?
It's funny you trying to tell me that I'm wrong to choose what works for me.

Everywhere I’ve worked people who are sexist get pushed to the side. It’s simply not tolerated when work needs doing, and expertise is what matters.
I don’t care what your dangly bits are, or who you screw. Why is that even part of any conversation about making widgets better, or more efficiently?
I’ve worked with people who love to talk politics at work, I can’t fucking stand it, on any side. It’s not related to what we’re doing, so keep your fucking opinions to yourself, and focus on the job at hand. Your politics only interfere with what the rest of the team is trying to accomplish.
Dear all, I have some questions for what I’m about to do with my HomeLab. I recently upgraded my connection to a 1000/1000 and the ISP sent me this shit ass router (Fastweb Nexxt) which is very locked down. I want to change it....
Yea, B is still acting like a router if it’s creating those messages.
I wonder if it’s bridging mode is actually bridging, or if it’s doing something weird.
OP - how is router B cabled? If it’s a typical consumer device it has one uplink port, which you wouldn’t use (usually) for a bridge setup. Because really a bridge today is just a switch (they were first called switching bridges, and we got lazy and just say switch). Use of an uplink port implies routing, not sure if the router changes its config for bridge mode. I just don’t use that port when I need switching.
After looking at the docs you linked, I’m not sure why you’d need to bridge the wifi to the LAN - it already is via the inbuilt switch ports (it’s been a while but when I tinkered with WRT it was for consumer wireless routers, which are a router, a switch, and a wireless access point rolled into one.).
Just disable DHCP, DNS, and connect one of the network ports (NOT the uplink) to the network that Router A is on, and Bob’s your uncle. (
The switch part will provide all the bridging (since that’s what switches do) and the wireless is already bridged to that switch.
So I don’t even see a need for relayd software and it’s config. The router, with DHCP and DNS off, the uplink port not used, is essentially just being a switching bridge. If you can disable the uplink port that would be even better, but so long as it’s set to use DHCP for an address, it’ll never get one. Or you could set it to a private class that you won’t use: say your network is 192.168.x.x, set the uplink to use 10.0.0.x. You’ll never have traffic wanting to use that network.
Edit: Ah, I see. You’re using 2 wifi access points as a bridge to each other. Hmm, yea, that’s not typically a thing (though I’ve seen it more recently) which is why you’re using relayd.
Definitely looks like relayd is playing pretend at bridging somehow, but not perfectly. Is there a forum for relayd?
