@gjacobse said in VNC Replacement solution:

It's widely known that after you install software you should - reboot.

While many application function at one hundred percent right after install, some do not.

noMachine is like that it would seem. Thanks to @stacksofplates for mentioning this simple but very effective fact.

While I had installed noMachine, I hadn't performed that task on either the host or viewer.

Thus far - it's been working as designed and across platforms. I still need to test via the iPad - where I had had so much issue previously.

Thanks again -

No problem!

It's not just a list of all extensions, it's broken out into areas and departments, etc.

Yes, I imagine that would be the case for most companies.

The thing is that it would be helpful to have a system to manage it. Different companies, departments, persons or function will have different needs but a good system should be able to accommodate most of those needs with a minimal amount of work.

Integration between different system is what is need to avoid doing the same work in multiple places. The whole point of having things in a system instead of manually doing it, is to save time and provide organization and when possible automation.

I don't see a problem replacing files with better system on the technical level. But actually finding system that can get the job done without going with bespoke solutions can be tough. And bespoke software isn't cost effective in a lot of cases.

I think a paper copy only works until you're more than a page. We're still at a single page.

I think you can keep it going for quite some time - if you wanted to.

A long time ago I worked at a company that printed their own little phone book with all the internal extensions and numbers. It had maybe 30 pages or so.

Forgot to add. After adding a new extension mapping in the Endpoint Manager module and pressing send to phone, the phone does not receive a new extension. The phone remains with the old extension until the phone is rebooted, or you can manually download the configuration via autoprovision via the phone web interface

@scottalanmiller said in Website down, but only for organization Network:

I feel like if the site had funky PHP, that would take the site down for everyone.

If it is making a bad calls that are similar to logins, that would do it. Fail2Ban (or similar) look for errors from an IP address. So a single IP gets affected.

Hmm, now I'm thinking I probably should have installed Windows 11 instead...

Well, maybe not, I don't actually run it on anything else.

Yeah i know a former customer using SQL 2012 and he has since left. I have not tried SQL 2019 yet, i wish that i can work with that software.

Everything in the home lab is being upgraded tonight.

The noise cancellation works really good. I don't know about factory floor good, but real good.

Do you find the (roughly) 500' range to be accurate? I only need 100' but with a few walls in between.

Walls hit Bluetooth pretty hard.

The model I linked is DECT.

Oh okay, those work even better.

@Doyler3000 said in Proxmox in 2022:

I've moved most of our important stuff onto Proxmox over the last 2 to 3 years. It's been great.
I've been using the PBS as well for the backups - it's so much better than manually doing full backups of VMs (which was the case with KVM and it's tools).

So thumbs up for Proxmox from me.

We've been using PBS too for backups more recently.

@scotth yeah, in the past (maybe the long past?) the iLO was a self contained board with its own CPU and RAM!

Most software have help -> about menu option and it should list software vendor.

If you can log in 😉

But we know the ERP is Oracle NetSuite. But like everyone, they went through a reseller and lost the more important contacts.

Literally no one has any emails on that at all? have all the people in the company who were involved in that project left the company and their email has been deleted?

Correct. The people involved quit and the powers that be decided to just delete their accounts rather than manage them in some way. So all contact is lost.

@JaredBusch said in Multiple Tombstoned DC's:

Mesh of multiple locations like you have is simply asking for crypto to hit all the things.

Exactly what I've been telling them.

VPNs and AD the same. The mesh "should" not pose any threat because there should be nothing exposed over the mesh. But given the rest of the design, we can safely assume there are security holes everywhere and they are just trying to open more.

These are the flags that hackers look for for finding easy targets.

Not familiar with Wix at all, I'm afraid. They don't have a good reputation. The new GeoCities.

Well it does help me as I am still in a SOLO IT shop after 11 years...don't have time to code a website...

Is Wix saving you time? LOL

You don't code websites, you use tools like Hugo or Gatsby if you need something simple, or WordPress if you need a CMS.

One of the reasons those tools are recommended for businesses is the time savings.

It might actually help now, there's every possibility that it might actually be faster to move to something else than to troubleshoot Wix where you are dependent on their support.

Well, it also helps that the owners daughter wants control of website too so this is another reason I did Wix about 5-6 years ago.

That makes sense. WordPress is typically used specifically for that too, but doesn't tie you in to a vendor-only supported product where the host owns the site that you make. WP keeps you from being able to be extorted for support or whatever. That's its purpose (to allow easy editing by a staff of people.) Since WP is the best known tool, it's the one that best allows random third party people to be involved.

Definitely seems odd to pick Wix over WP.

Maybe they already knew it (the daughter). Wix is definitely my #1 platform to avoid. It's been the bane of the web since its inception. Just a totally shit product and lots of people avoid companies that host with it as being similar to using hotmail email instead of your domain.

try putting the switches in the 'arguments' field of the Action tab.

@scottalanmiller said in Migrating to xxxxx:

I have a similar situation. There's no more panic. Just "let me do my job and get on with it." People sometimes see that as not taking it seriously when really, I'm just that much more on top of things.

I've definitely walked into a few crisis that way with my old boss. Actually those were the best of work conditions - the confidence to just roll up the sleeves and get shit done. If only more of my life was like that.

Thanks everyone for the input.

I had another play with rclone and got it to work, looks quite useful.

@Dashrender That's what I have to play with as I'm not sure at the channel level how permission inheritance works
