Remote Desktop CTL-ALT-DEL

I get this question quite often from some of the remote users that utilize their VMs via RDP. Especially since the environment in which they work in requires a password change every 90 days....I've told them multiple times how to do this, but as it is not widely documented, I suppose I could make a note here just to aid those that stumble upon this through Googling the question: "How to CTL-ALT-DEL in an RDP session?"

Well simply put the answer is:

CTL-ALT-END

I know, it doesn't make much sense, but it works. That's all you need to know.

Replacing rsyslog with syslog-ng on RHEL 6.5

So...I had a piece of monitoring software that didn't play nice with the RHEL default rsyslog for log collection. The software was developed to only work with syslog-ng. I'll be going over the steps that I took, that worked for me, in replacing rsyslog with syslog-ng. I would imagine that these same steps should work for any Linux system similar to RHEL (Fedora, CentOS, etc.). For others (like Debein based distributions), I would need to look into that (coming in a future update to this post). First, remove rsyslog. You will need to keep the dependencies as they will be needed for syslog-ng: sudo rpm -e --nodeps rsyslog Next we will need to add the EPEL repository (more info can be found HERE ): wget http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm sudo rpm -ivh epel-release-6-8.rpm sudo yum repolist That last command will list all the installed repositories. You are simply verifying that the EPEL package has been installed. Now that we fi...

Visio Stencils Pack for Azure and Microsoft Integration (v5.0.0)

First off, I'd like to send a big shout out to Sandro Pereira who's been managing the vision stencils pack. Essentially, I'm re-posting his information here, because I had a really hard time finding the latest Visio pack for Azure, that wasn't a bunch of SVG's. My thought is that if more people re-post, maybe the search engines of the internet will have an easier time propagating the information... Sandero's Blog (the original post around the new stencils): https://blog.sandro-pereira.com/2019/10/18/microsoft-integration-and-azure-stencils-pack-for-visio-new-major-version-available-v5-0-0/ Sandero's GitHub: https://github.com/sandroasp/Microsoft-Integration-and-Azure-Stencils-Pack-for-Visio Microsoft TechNet Download: https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Collection-of-Integration-e6a3f4d0 I will say, and maybe it's just because I'm using Visio 2013, each icon has a boarder that needs to be removed when putting it on the page... Likely it...

Keto Kickin' Choffle

Alight, first recipe on the blog... If you've had a chance to reach the "About" section, you will have seen that, rather than spinning up multiple blogs, I'm just going to combine my passions for tech, food, health, and music into this one space. If you're not a fan, then too bad. I really just don't want to manage more than one blog.... With that, here goes nothing... So I recently came across the choffle. This is a really great, and fast to make replacement for buns. I'm also a huge fan of spicy foods. Well, I got the great idea to combine the heat with the choffle. And let me tell you, it turned out really good. I like to use this for a bun replacement when I'm in the mood for that extra kick, but not the extra toppings. Why? Because the extra toppings are now combined in the choffle. Thus removing the need for the additional toppings on my burgers. Enjoy. Kickin' choffle The choffle mix with a kick! Author: Larry L.
