You may be able to use virtualbox and a Windows image to run the upgrade. Here's a nice list of where you can find images: https://github.com/SheepKid12/msft-modern.ie-images#available-images -jason On Mon, Feb 27, 2023, 12:46 D. Hugh Redelmeier via talk wrote: > I bought a used ThinkCentre

Re: [GTALUG] Script to show HTTP(S) and TLS details for a website

Looks like a handy script to have. My only real suggestion is to change the shebang to *#!/usr/bin/env bash* as it's more portable than the current one. Still not perfect, but works reliably on more systems. -jason On Sat, Aug 10, 2019 at 11:46 AM Giles Orr via talk wrote: > This may be seen

Re: [GTALUG] Local source for weird RAM

I second Crucials wizard. It's quite a nice tool to find the exact specs you need for RAM, and can then look into other brands, or buy direct from Crucial. Anecdotally, I love Crucial's RAM, even if their prices aren't the best, I've not had issues with any of their hardware in 15+ years of

Re: [GTALUG] Spamhaus block

I gave up on trying to keep a local mail server off of spamhaus and similar lists and ended up getting an account at authsmtp.com to relay outbound mail through so that they can deal with the deliverability side of it. Sending 4000 messages a month is probably cheaper than the amount of time

I'd recommend using git or a similar version control system, and then have some sort of configuration management tool like ansible put it in place on the server. -jason On Thu, May 3, 2018 at 10:44 AM, Alex Beamish via talk wrote: > I'm developing scripts that get run by

Re: [GTALUG] Increasing interest in the Go language

Re: [GTALUG] Interest in an IM for TLUG?

Thanks for championing this, Evan! I'm fairly married to Slack as my instant messaging platform of choice, so the likelihood of me running another client for GTALUG chat is pretty unlikely. That said, I'm also not the most active or vocal, so receiving the email only information is fine by me.

Getting 500 GB SSD for <$100 is probably not going to happen. I personally like the form factor of Western Digital Passport drives as they are USB powered, USB 3, and small form factor. I get decent performance out of it, and so long as your backups are incremental, after the initial sync, the
