  1. The media's pictures from weird angles and from 2+ miles away from the stage did just fine at that. They didn't need any help.

    I know it causes my blood pressure to rise when logging messages I need to troubleshoot a problem simply just get swallowed.

    The fork KiTTY is a little better:

    It stores its config in files so you can easily copy them to another machine or track them with Git. It still has the same bizarre starting interface to open and edit sessions and lacks a find feature.

    Are the best instructions I found. Also, you'll have to open port 22 in since the installer doesn't open it even if you use Microsoft's own firewall.

    Any idea when this is coming to Server 2016?

    CNN confirmed that looking at Wikileaks is a crime, and they helped the public by informing us many times of that. If they hadn't, then more people probably would have been put in prison for reading the DNC leaks and voted for Trump. That would have been horrible.

    Helped a friend move two web apps used by the state of Washington from their Windows 2000 servers with firewalls that hadn't been touched in over a decade to it. It's most certainly more secure now with revisited firewall (Security Groups in AWS-speak) and ELB (elastic load balancer) in front of the server with no direct access to the Windows servers.

  14. > $40 to get a new battery

    Except it isn't $40. We've replaced a few iPhone batteries that quit within the first 90 days, and Apple charged $99 for them. That's the absolute minimum. They wanted $400 to fix the battery in my 6S Plus since they refuse to replace the battery unless I also paid to replace the screen since there's a crack and the metal housing since there's a tiny dent. They also refused to replace the batteries that were recalled unless we paid hundreds in repairs for the "free" battery replacement. It is not $40. It is often ten times that much.

  15. > three-year warranty,

    No, it's one year, but they give you absolute hell if it's >90 days. They simply do not want to warranty their batteries. From:

    https://www.apple.com/batteries/service-and-recycling/

    Which shows it is only one year, instead of the three that you claimed.

  16. "No. 1: Vendor lock-in" like buying Microsoft? on Ask Slashdot: Biggest IT Management Mistakes? · · Score: 5, Informative

    In about March, we started moving everything to Microsoft, and they audited us in August. About $250k worth of internal time later, they gave us the final bill. We didn't know, for example, you couldn't run Visual Studio Professional on Amazon on nondedicated hardware. Amazon charges $2.185 per hour for that which is $19,140.60 extra per year. We're paying $1,199 per year already for VS for every developer, so we assumed we'd be allowed to use it with no extra charges. We were wrong. I think the total bill after the audit was over $130k plus the extra almost $20k per year on Amazon. We don't even yet use Windows for production(customer facing stuff)!

    A lot of events? I'm talking about one or two lines only! When you run the process by hand, it clearly outputs an error message either to stdout or stderr, but when starting it with systemctl, there is no output and nothing is logged in the journal. That's a major problem for troubleshooting. Yes, you can revert to starting things by hand, but sometimes that's hard to figure-out all of the commandline options and environment needed to do so.

  19. Oh please. The Internet grew just fine from 1987 when I first got access to it until the new rules were passed in 2015. We don't need more government-control and expensive regulation of the Internet. Things worked just fine before.

    As to your "1-2 choices" comment, that's a last mile issue. Net neutrality doesn't have anything to do with that. In most places, like here in Seattle, providing access is very limited by the local government. It's the local governments that aren't allowing competition.

    Plus the long hours. I haven't worked with a single woman yet that was willing to work Seattle Hundreds. The women I work with work about half of the hours of the men. There's a reason they move to other jobs like program or project management.

  22. Re:Behind the shades on Ask Slashdot: What's the Best Way to Retrain Old IT Workers? · · Score: 1

    > remotivate them,

    Recently went through this when we switched more than twenty developers from Java on Linux to C# on Windows. We hired a new CEO that's a Microsoft fanboi, so it's been a disaster the past nine months. Most of the people were very unmotivated to learn. We spent a lot of money bringing in outside instructors, Pluralsight courses, and hired full time employees to train them. After five months, I wouldn't have called any of them productive and not a single one of them had even committed code since the switch. I finally was able to convince management to let me give people specific tasks. That worked. You can't just tell someone to "learn C#." Telling them to modify code to fix something is much more productive. It gives them an end goal that they'll feel good about completing. Having them spend time, for example, watching videos or sitting through meetings for twelve hours a day didn't help.

    And this attitude is why things don't get fixed with systemd. I've seen multiple good reproduction steps that demonstrate this problem over the past few years, and it's still broken. It sucks when you can start something at the command line and see a few lines of output that show the exact problem, but when using "systemctl start [service-name]" nothing is saved in the journal.

    Seriously. It's nearly impossible to troubleshoot issues if messages are just swallowed and not either output to the screen (which systemd has broken completely) or to the journal.
