Yeh, the oya got smudged/erased on the gold plate.

Vger … Star Trek the movie called and wants their name back!🤪

Just thinking aloud here…

Can you boot the install media when the laptop storage is installed?

If so, you can use gparted from the install media to clean the storage device and start from scratch. That might help.

You should be able to tell what mode to install the os in from the boot mode of the install media.

That is odd. However iirc it is an option in the bios.

Fwiw telling grub to uefi boot will not work if the boot device doesn’t have uefi support (and trying to boot in bios mode from a uefi disk fails as well… Been there got the T-shirt)

To get the install media to boot you could try removing the laptop storage…

On all the lenovos here hitting enter when the bios displays the Lenovo splash screen gives a menu that allows you to get at the bios or a boot menu.

You have to be a bit careful cos it’s on a countdown, paused and resumed by the enter key… And you have to get it timed right.

Pre 1850s, in most cases, you needed to have lots of offspring regardless of wanting them or not… Mortality was high.

We have this. Your Linux box will have to be a domain member with authentication set up to use the corporate AD.

The GPO/Domain intune settings are stopping your client from attempting any non AD authorised share access attempt.

Yeh - it’s just the Arubas are much more sensitive to slightly dodgy connections. Connections and wiring which worked with their predecessor Ciscos just fine is persona non Grata in the Aruba universe.

With cameras they just won’t talk to them even if the port is set to 10mbps rather than Auto. Stick an unmanaged switch in the way and they work fine.

One thing I have found is that FS.com sfp+ Aruba compatible modules work just fine which saves a packet!

We have an extensive Aruba estate here (managed for us by the local authority). You have to be careful about licenses for management software. The authority weren’t so there are issues… Though that may be authority incompetence rather than an Aruba issue.

The other thing we have noticed is that they are very touchy indeed about 10mbps connections (cameras often need an intermediate unmanaged switch), and also will drop so-so 1Gbps links back to 100mbps at the drop of a hat…

Like all men, his wife tells him what to do … She is his handler after all and has been since he brought her to the US of A.

Live in Wales so I have skin in this game…

Observations: 20mph limit means most people drive below 30 in urban areas.

20mph might not be universal in UK but many many places I drive through over the border in Engerland have a 20 limit.

Most roads with a 20 limit have an average speed of… Stationary /walking pace anyway.

The mandatory 20 limit was proposed and supported by Welsh right of centre politicos who dropped it like a hot potato on implementation - it was was weaponised legislation used as a stick with which to beat the left of centre Welsh Government Assembly ruling party.

My commute of 16 miles each way, though mainly through urban areas, has about 500m of 20mph limit… Commute time is unaffected. I’m all right Jack!

Over all I like the 20mph limit and the shouty loudmouths who don’t have failed to engage critical thinking.

I have a small cluster running using Starwind for my vSAN. For me it’s much cheaper than a hardware equivalent and is performant enough.

Oh and I haven’t had a “stop work” issue with it in 8 years.

Somewhat remarkably it was OK performance-wise when sync/iSCSI traffic were running on 1Gb copper connections to spinning rust storage… Now I have 10Gb fibre between the hosts, coupled with nvme drives, and it’s quite (comparatively) quick.

As with all things YMMV… But vSAN is the way for my use case.

Excellent! Can’t wait to find out what one looks like…

No… Wait… :)

Not my problem… Whatever my SO/surviving descendants want is good by me.

Now why didn’t I think of that? I must be worth money to someone as a card carrying V…

/me off to grindr

/me arch user with 4 crotch goblins… Must be a cuck and not know it :(

Works for me if I click the thumbnail from ‘all’; fails if I go to the post.

Not just redgifs (iirc) either so probably a video thing rather than an NSFW related thing.

All bikes are repairable, some are more repairable than others. It all depends on how scared you are of getting your hands dirty and how confident you are that you can think your way out of problems.

My point is that a bike can be really simple and, as such, anything should be possible.

Modern innovations usually mean a set of tools beyond the basic bike set but the specials are available (bottom brackets are a particular case in point - you use to be able to get away with ponty things and gentle hammering - despite there being tools designed for the job now it’s use our tool or forget it)

So I would avoid anything too new - get a rat bike from a scrappy and learn how it works whilst rebuilding it.

Planetary for me.

In the UK there is a split between England and Wales and Scotland. “southern” UK trespass is a civil offence. Scotland it is criminal.

So in southern UK trespassers will most definitely not be prosecuted (the railway and power plant property are, iirc, the two exceptions because they have by-laws) but may be sued for damages, in Scotland they can be prosecuted.
