Re: [Request] Forum navigation tree?
Some of the themes aren't really uniform, I'd like to get us down to 5 adding new ones and removing other ones but people are using some of the ones that do not work so they remain. Looks like we found another one not in compliance.

Re: [Solved] Lost System Timing...Is this NTP configured properly?
Augie77 You need to have a minimum of 4 servers to have your ntpsec (right, ntpsec right?) running properly, else the time is not valid for any machine that you are serving else your systems clock sans offset or reference clock will eventually drift. maxclock needs to be an odd number +3 or +5 from...

Re: [Industry] How did you become a Linux Administrator?
Very good question! Unfortunately it is a bit complicated as it really depends on your discipline or area of focus. The CompTIA Linux+ is a good start and gives you a good ideal of how to work on and around systems, but again your focus is going to be what really guides your process. Lightweight Dir...

Re: [Off-Topic] f-droid app - Rethink
F-droid.org has it's own forums, I think you get better answers there. The OP is not that technical of a post that they need to be re-directed elsewhere. I use Android and from our last 'Which Mobile Vendor device do you use?' Survey it seems we have a fair amount of Android users, it can be surmis...

Re: [Advice] The Laws-of-Linux ... and other sundries of computing
Sometimes we have old devices or net appliances that new standards have phased out, the problem is the devices are still usable somewhere or you need to get into one. This happens mostly with outdated systems that use ssh/sftp. The error is the clue: Sun Mar 17 00:29:24) {donald}@[computers.org] {~}...

After posting this, I managed to get things working by this guide which works using dracut and actually removing the entry from /etc/crypttab: https://blog.fernvenue.com/archives/debian-with-luks-and-tpm-auto-decryption/ Still curious if anyone has opinions on this approach or others.

Re: [Discussion] What do you wish you had known years ago?
The absolute value of installing and using the Screen program. Even on home machines.
The screen program allows you to use multiple windows (virtual VT100 terminals) in Unix.

[Discussion] So ... is anyone mining crypto currencies? (or folding?)
Just curious with a few questions. Is it worth it? With the size and introduction of large scale and professional entrepreneurs with DataCenter sized infrastructure has the time to mine already passed? Is this still something someone could do without dedicated hardware? If you are running such a set...

lol you guys ignore the AI part, look at the structure. :D The syntax is surprisingly correct for the task you asked of it. A nuance here or there from experience would tune a bit better but the commands and order are 'correct'. In time an AI can perform to better scale some of these tasks that seem...
