WDS Unattend with LAPS
in flag

For a few years, we have been using WDS and MDT to make images and then boot new laptops via PxE to be imaged. During the image, they are configured properly, connected to our domain, get applications installed and get all relevant GPOs. This has been working fully unattended the whole time.

Recently however, we have rolled out LAPS. Laps is great and all but it has started making the imaging pro ...

How do I run dnsmasq and samba ad dc on the same server?
au flag

I am able to run dnsmasq with no issues but only when I don't have samba (ad dc) running. With dnsmasq running I am able to resolve both internal and external hostnames within my network. However, when I am running dnsmasq, samba service will not start. Likewise, if I stop dnsmasq service and start samba ad dc service, I am able to access the dc and the shares.

High speed network writes with large capacity storage

I have a NAS running Samba with a 20T ZFS pool with one raid1 vdev with two spinning rust drives. I have 16G RAM in the machine right now.

k3s pods not deployed on correct node
cn flag

I have a k3s cluster with several nodes, let's say 3 nodes. On each node, I have several pods to deploy. It's a "static deployment", meaning that I want to deploy each pod on a specific node. I don't want to let k3s do it automatically.

For example:

Node_1:
    pod_a
    pod_b
    pod_c
Node_2:
    pod_d
    pod_e
    pod_f
Node_3:
    pod_h
    pod_i
    pod_g

To achieve this, I'm using labels. I tag ea ...

Manually trigger swappiness?

I am playing around with ZFS on Proxmox and have noticed that swappiness never seems to kick in. The swappiness value is currently set to 50 but never swaps unless I reach 100% RAM usage acting as if swappiness is set to 0.

How can I manually force swappiness to run? The only way I can current do this is by installing something like https://github.com/julman99/eatmemory to eat the systems memory to bey ...

disks for a small esx-host: ssd raid5 or hdd raid10?
eg flag

I am about to replace an ESXi host that runs some 20 VMs (mostly idling). Today around only 800Gb is used on an external iscsi-box, raid6 (total 7Tb).

The new server will just simply have internal disks. 2Tb will be plenty. It will most likely be a Dell R640 (max 8 discs). ESXi will be on a simple raid1 (2 small discs).

But the VM-storage? Which should i go for? (the HDDs are slightly cheaper, but n ...

The Stunning Power of Questions

Much of an executive’s workday is spent asking others for information—requesting status updates from a team leader, for example, or questioning a counterpart in a tense negotiation. Yet unlike professionals such as litigators, journalists, and doctors, who are taught how to ask questions as an essential part of their training, few executives think of questioning as a skill that can be honed—or consider how their own answers to questions could make conversations more productive.

That’s a missed opportunity. Questioning is a uniquely powerful tool for unlocking value in organizations: It spurs learning and the exchange of ideas, it fuels innovation and performance improvement, it builds rapport and trust among team members. And it can mitigate business risk by uncovering unforeseen pitfalls and hazards.

For some people, questioning comes easily. Their natural inquisitiveness, emotional intelligence, and ability to read people put the ideal question on the tip of their tongue. But most of us don’t ask enough questions, nor do we pose our inquiries in an optimal way.

The good news is that by asking questions, we naturally improve our emotional intelligence, which in turn makes us better questioners—a virtuous cycle. In this article, we draw on insights from behavioral science research to explore how the way we frame questions and choose to answer our counterparts can influence the outcome of conversations. We offer guidance for choosing the best type, tone, sequence, and framing of questions and for deciding what and how much information to share to reap the most benefit from our interactions, not just for ourselves but for our organizations.
