Workstation is a paid tool with advanced features, while Player is a free option that’s perfect for basic VMs. - Install VMware: Run the installer and follow the setup wizard. Once installed, launch VMware.

Step-by-Step: Installing Ubuntu on VMware

Step 1: Download Ubuntu ISO

- Go to the [official Ubuntu website](https://ubuntu.com/download) and download the LTS (Long Term Support) version of Ubuntu, ensuring you have a stable version for long-term usage in your DevOps workflows.

Step 2: Create a New Virtual Machine in VMware

- Open VMware Workstation or VMware Player and select “Create a New Virtual Machine.” - Choose the ISO image by selecting the downloaded Ubuntu file, then click Next.

Step 3: Allocate Resources

- CPU: Assign at least 2 CPUs for smooth operation. - RAM: Allocate at least 4GB of RAM for optimal performance. You can assign more if your system allows. - Storage: Provide at least 20GB of disk space, especially if you plan to install DevOps tools.

Step 4: Installation of Ubuntu

- Start the VM, and Ubuntu’s installation wizard will appear. - Follow the prompts: choose language, keyboard settings, and select Install Ubuntu. - Choose installation type (erase disk if it’s a fresh VM) and configure time zones, user account, and password. - After installation, update your system by running:  ```bash  sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y  ```

Step 5: VMware Tools Installation

Installing VMware Tools improves VM performance, enabling better integration with the host machine.

- In VMware, go to the VM menu and select Install VMware Tools.  ```bash  sudo apt install open-vm-tools open-vm-tools-desktop -y  sudo reboot  vmware-toolbox-cmd -v  ``` Verify VMware Tools Installation:

 ```bash  vmware-toolbox-cmd -v  ```

Step 6: Post-Installation Setup for DevOps

- Install Basic DevOps Tools:  ```bash  sudo apt install git curl vim  ``` - Enable SSH Access:  ```bash  sudo apt install openssh-server  sudo systemctl enable ssh  sudo systemctl start ssh  ```

Step-by-Step: Installing CentOS on VMware

Step 1: Download CentOS ISO

- Visit the [official CentOS website](https://www.centos.org/download/) and download the CentOS 7 or 8 version (or CentOS Stream, depending on your preference).

Step 2: Create a New Virtual Machine in VMware

- Open VMware and choose “Create a New Virtual Machine.” - Select the CentOS ISO image and proceed to the next step.

Step 3: Allocate Resources

- CPU: Assign at least 2 CPUs. - RAM: Assign at least 4GB of RAM for smooth operations, especially if you’re installing enterprise tools. - Storage: Allocate 20GB or more, depending on your intended use case.

Step 4: Installation of CentOS

- Start the VM, and the CentOS installation wizard will load. - Choose your language and keyboard settings, then proceed to the installation screen. - Configure disk partitioning (choose automatic for simplicity). - Set up a root password and create a user account. - Follow the prompts to install CentOS. Once done, reboot the VM.

Step 5: Install VMware Tools

For better performance, install VMware Tools:

- In the VMware menu, select Install VMware Tools.

- Update Your System:  ```bash  sudo yum update -y  ``` - Install open-vm-tools:  ```bash  sudo yum install open-vm-tools -y  ``` - For graphical environment:  ```bash  sudo yum install open-vm-tools-desktop -y  ``` - Start the vmtoolsd Service:  ```bash  sudo systemctl enable vmtoolsd.service  sudo systemctl start vmtoolsd.service  ``` - Verify Installation:  ```bash  vmware-toolbox-cmd -v  ```

- Install EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) and Basic DevOps Tools:  ```bash  sudo yum install epel-release  sudo yum install git curl vim  ``` - Enable SSH Access:  ```bash  sudo yum install openssh-server  sudo systemctl enable sshd  sudo systemctl start sshd  ``` - Verify installed tools:  ```bash  git --version  curl --version  vim --version  ```

Best Practices for Installing and Setting Up Ubuntu and CentOS on VMware

1. Resource Allocation: Ensure you allocate sufficient CPU, RAM, and storage based on the workloads. For most DevOps tasks, assign at least 2 CPUs and 4GB of RAM for optimal performance. More demanding workloads may require additional resources.

2. Snapshots: Regularly take VM snapshots before major changes or installations. This allows you to revert to a stable state if something goes wrong during configuration or software testing.

3. VMware Tools Installation: Always install VMware Tools after setting up the OS. This ensures seamless mouse integration, smoother graphics, and better performance, reducing potential bugs and lag in your virtual environment.

4. Partitioning: For better performance and management, use custom partitioning if needed. This helps in allocating different parts of your virtual disk to `/`, `/home`, and `/var` partitions, improving system performance and flexibility in future updates or installations.

5. Automated Backups: Set up automated backups or export your VMs periodically. This practice is particularly important if your VMs store critical configurations, applications, or databases.

6. Networking Configuration: Ensure that your virtual machines are correctly configured to access the internet and your local network. Consider using NAT or Bridged Network options, depending on your networking needs. NAT works well for internet access, while Bridged is ideal for networked environments.

7. Security Considerations: Configure firewalls and SSH access carefully to secure your VMs from unauthorized access. Set up strong user permissions, enforce password complexity, and enable SSH keys for secure remote access.

8. Regular System Updates: Frequently update both Ubuntu and CentOS systems to ensure they are protected from vulnerabilities. Use the following commands to update packages:    - For Ubuntu:      ```bash      sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade      ```    - For CentOS:      ```bash      sudo yum update      ```

9. Monitor Resource Usage: VMware allows you to monitor CPU, memory, and storage usage. Use these tools to ensure that your VMs are not consuming excessive resources, especially in shared environments.

10. Test Environments: Use VMs as sandbox environments to test and experiment with new DevOps tools like Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins, or Ansible before deploying them in production.

Conclusion:

By installing and setting up both Ubuntu and CentOS on VMware, you gain the flexibility to experiment with DevOps tools, test automation workflows, and learn Linux system administration in a safe and isolated environment. This hands-on tutorial provides you with the foundation to run and manage your Linux VMs effectively, setting you up for success in DevOps tasks ranging from development to deployment automation.

Thinking about Badaline from Celeste and hosts viewing persecutors through distorted lenses.

Like Badaline was right to blow up at Oshiro for not listening. And the fact that Madaline later paints Badaline as the all bad part of herself she has to let go of shows her people pleasing leaves her a blind spot in recognizing the strengths that Badline has and the needs Madaline leaves unaddressed.

We had a similar situation with a former persecutor label as such for repeatedly blowing up on our ex for shitty behavior. Our host at the time excused the behavior and saw our persecutor as the bad guy for calling that shit out.

Basically, what I'm trying to say is that sometimes persecutors are right and hosts are biased. Also, persecutors exist for a reason, and addressing that reason can be the first step to healing

The Trouble with a Keen Manager-Ch 8

Crowley's better nature leads him to do a good deed at the Dirty Donkey. Unable to stay ahead of the consequences of his actions, the chapter ends with Crowley in a situation he can't get out of alone. Next chapter will see help arrive from an unexpected quarter.

Trigger warnings: stopping violence against women-date rape drugs, curse words (F* and sh*), a fight. Excerpt here and full text at A03 link above.

Chapter 8

At the Dirty Donkey, Crowley came out of the back carrying another dishwasher rack of clean pint glasses to stock the front, senses pricking.  Scanning the pub, he found the source of what had set him off, pure innocence.  Two young ladies were giggling about the pub’s naughty name and looking about the bar wide-eyed, like little lambs.  Why’d he think that?  Oh, ‘cuz here came the predators.

Outside the bar two young men loped into view, flicking their cigarettes onto the ground before opening the pub door.  Every generation seemed to make some men like this, loud and hard, quick to wanton violence, he could practically see it on them.

Pushing the door open, the young men swaggered into the pub, hair nearly all shaved off, sporting tattoos on their bare muscled arms.  Scanning the room, they marked the young women, but seemed to ignore them.  As if.  Crowley’s teeth were already on edge, this had all the potential of an Event, something pivotal for some soul.

Dave continued to polish the glass he was holding, while Crowley attended to a current customer at the bar, but Crowley could tell that Dave had noticed the situation, as well.  

The pair of men had gone up to Dave for a couple of pints, taking their drinks only vaguely in the direction of the innocents, but choosing a table that could accommodate four.

One of the girls headed up to the bar, making a bee-line for Crowley.  “Can I have two lemonades, but in a fancy glass so it looks like a cocktail?” she whispered.

“Sure thing, miss.  How about lemonade and ginger syrup, shaken?  It’ll look like a vodka lemonade,” he confided.

“Oh, that would be nice!” she giggled nervously, as he made all the motions of a cocktail, including the ice shaker, without adding any alcohol at all. 

Taking her money and setting the drinks on the bar, he could almost see the ears pricking on the two young men.

Sure enough, after the young ladies had drunk about half of their virgin cocktails (Why did his brain keep bringing up these unhelpful and true words!) they made their move.  One young man paced over, saying something out of sight of Crowley’s eyes, but obviously inviting the young women to their table.  (Don’t do it, don’t do it.  Aw shite!)  Giggling, the two young women gathered up their drinks and joined the two men.  

Didn’t innocents have their own angels.  Where the Heaven was theirs?

“Yer glarin’, Anthony,” Dave bent over next to him to pick up another glass to polish. “Yon scunners are evill badlins on the pull for those two hens!” Crowley whispered back as he bent down to pick up his own glass to polish.

“‘S not our business to stop youngsters that might fancy one another,” Dave murmured before he moved off to help another customer. 

Dave was right, of course he was!  What business was it of a demon not to encourage extramarital coitus?  Tho’ it’d always struck him as unfair that the lasses bore the brunt of the punishments for said coitus.  Crowley didn’t bat an eye when the lasses were on the pull as much as the lads.  For Satan’s sake, he’d been taking credit for all kinds of extramarital coitus and demon drink consumption in his reports since starting work at the Dirty Donkey! Usher had actually given him some demonic powers before tonight’s shift.  The whole point of this working business was to beat Usher, get his powers back, and stay incorporated!  So Crowley tried not to look closely at why the unfolding disaster (bloody brain, there you go again) was bothering him so much. 

The demon’s face was calm and attentive when the two evil blighter’s (his professional opinion, his personal opinion used more expletives) came up to order shandy for four.  Heart sinking in his chest, Crowley made the drinks noting the girls looking determinedly eager and nervous. Sighing inwardly, he figured he’d be able to add “promoting deflowering maidens” to tomorrow’s reports.

Crowley set the four drinks on the bar, accepting one of the right bastard’s money before the blackard took two of the drinks and turned back to the table.

Surprising Crowley almost as much as the malcreant, Crowley’s hand shot out and grabbed the fist of the second ne’er-do-well as it moved over the young women’s drinks.

Sensing what was hidden in that hand, Crowley hissed, “No ya don’t.”

“Here! Le’ go my hand!” cried the young man, shocked that he couldn’t break free of the skinny barkeep.

“What’s goin’ on, Anthony?” Dave asked Crowley calmly, coming down the bar.

With an inexorable grip, Crowley twisted the fist over.  As the man’s hand opened, two pills dropped onto the bar, audible in the sudden hush.

“What were ya addin’ to the hen’s drinks? Huh?” Crowley growled.

[gale-gentlepenguin]

So if there are kwamis based off the seven deadly sins then are there kwamis based off the seven virtues that counter act the evil kwamis?

Are you talking about 'The Virtuous? '

I mean I considered it,

Chastity, Temperance, Charity, Diligence, Patience, Kindness, and Humility

I do think having just a pure counter to them does work and is cool. (Keep that balance)

Chastity: Puure the Lamb

Diligence: Drivve the Beaver

Charity: Giive the Penguin

Patience: Waitt the Spider

Kindness: Caare the Capybara

Temperance: Duura the Camal

Humility: Huum the Elephant.

But we will see what others think.

Should the Goodlins be a thing?!

Abandoned Mask!

“I don’t really see the point of this.” The girl mumbled as it was clear that she wasn’t happy in the slightest. “Regardless, I’m going climb the mountain and prove myself I can do it.”

Throwback to when I honestly couldn’t do winged liner to save my life. Do you see the teeniest of wings? How wonky it is? I kept trying and now I can swoop like the best of them. Literally just takes tons of practice and looking a little bit busted from time to time. This throwback is making me think I should switch back to the tarte foundation or drop like 10 lbs. I reallyyyy liked how my face looked about 10-20 lbs ago and I’d like to get back to it. Custom Ink is just killing me with the free food + all day desk job. Trying to get my walks around the building in when I can. 🙃😭🤦🏻‍♀️ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #personal #badliner #badeyeliner #fullface #ombre #curls #wavy #wavyhair #blondehair #chubby #fullbrows #fulleyebrows #ombrehair #ombrehaircolor #redlips #redlipstick #pale #femme #texas #tx #dallas #dallastx #dallastexas (at Dallas, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwWvHBlBhBh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1oal3xtrf0sm4
