Maybe I am missing something, but just adding weights to the lighter blades to balance everything out seems be the solution.

There are lots of how-to's out there for how to balance ceiling fans with weighted clips, you should be able to adapt the process to your specific needs.

Oh man, I haven't seen uuencode in so long, I basically forgot it existed until I read your comment!

We are using Tanium, just put the agent on the servers and you are good to go...build your packages and set up deployment jobs.

It also handles Windows patching, and can do system inventory, among other features.

It's also great for software deployments to you remote workforce systems that are rarely/never on the corporate network.

And seriously, you want a domain. GPOs are incredibly useful for pushing out a huge variety of Windows config changes extremely easily.

Frankly, you'll enjoy Foundaton more if you don't read the books first. Otherwise, you'll be sitting there shaking you head wondering why they continuously mangle the core concept of the books so badly, despite characters occasionally directly stating how it works (only for the same episode otherwise showing utter disregard for said statement)

Show was killed way to soon. It was pretty solid!

Season 1 was definitely the highlight of the show. But the later seasons were still pretty entertaining.

Dunno if Lexx is really worth it tbh. The original movies were worth watching just because it was so weird and different.

But if you were on the fence after those, well it doesn't really change. Just season after season of the same sort of plots...if you like that, it's great. If you don't, it's gonna get old really fast.

I rewatched all of Andromeda recently, and after a season and a half is was mostly awful, but it was occasionally entertaining.

I rewatched the first Lexx movie, remembered why I never finished the show the first time around, and moved on to something else.

Yeah, I hate it. I'd want some sort of SAML SSO auth in front of the actual RDS Gateway to allow you to use whatever identity provider and MFA you already have.

You really don't want to allow all manner of auth attempts able to be made against your actual workload servers, which is what it sounds like you are describing.

Andromeda had such promise for a low budget SciFi show. The writing started out pretty good...then purple went gold and the writing IMMEDIATELY went to shit, no slow downward slide or anything. It was like a totally different show midway thru season 2, have never seen anything like it before or since.

Heck yeah, watched all of those, they were so fun. Cleopatra 2525 is one I had almost forgotten about, thanks for reminding me!

I feel like this would have been more true had it been posted 20-30 years ago. But while there's some sociopathic types in books today, it's a relatively small portion of the total.

I'd be curious to see what books in particular you have in mind, maybe from those published in the last month or so. I suspect what you really mean isn't sociopath, but non traditional-heroic-archetypes. Which I would agree with, protagonists these days tend to be more humanistic rather than god-like.

It's really an entirely different animal than either of them, but ranks right up there with them in terms of quality.

SG1 is a 50/50 serious/fun ratio, with long running plot threads mixed in with adventure- of-the-week episodes. It's a bunch of friends saving the galaxy and having fun doing it. It's got a real sense of Earth's slow progression from the mostly forgotten backwater homeworld of humanity all the way to being a major power in two galaxies.

B5 is like a 90% serious novel about war and politics.

BSG is 100% grim, and it becomes really obvious in later seasons that while the Cylons might've had a plan, the writers sure as shit didn't know what it was supposed to be. This unfortunately makes it overall the weakest of the three IMHO.
