Thanks I'll give this a try today

@Leebeard said in Create Microsoft account with Gmail:

Thanks for replying, and for the suggestions also. Because before that, I didn't know about the information you provided. However, I did a Google search yesterday and found this. According to that, it is possible to do the job. Please tell me, can I follow the instructions? Or please tell me if it is true or not.

Only way to know is to try following it. I've not done it, I don't need MS accounts. Just give it a try and let us know.

@Mario-Jakovina said in Windows 10 and RHEL 9 Dual Boot help.:

@Pete-S Any Windows 10 licence will technically work in VM, from my experience.

Yeah, but we're talking about the embedded license key that sits in the BIOS of the computer (when it comes with Windows OEM).

In a VM the guest can't access the BIOS of the host so it shouldn't be able to retrieve the embedded Microsoft licensing key. Unless the hypervisor makes it available to the guest.

The embedded licensing key is used automatically by the Windows installer and it will install Windows without asking the user for a key.

Back in the day there would be sticker on the bottom of the computer with the licensing key. But now it's stored in the BIOS somewhere and the sticker only has a windows logo on it.

Seems like a good time to try convincing the boss we should move our emails to O365. I know he'll say no, but this is ammo for sure.

I don't think that email only justify cost of O365.
I have excellent mail experience with different web hosting providers that provide email service included for a fraction of price of O365.

For example, Hetzner offers 300GB space with unlimited mail accounts for 17 EUR / cca. 20 USD a month.
(I have not used Hetzner's mail services but I have very good experinece with them in cloud/bare metal services)

I mean - you would not convince me to buy O365 with this argument 🙂

Agreed. We already have O365, but I've been instructed to keep Exchange On-Prem exclusively. Sorry that wasn't implied more clearly.

Update - got windows 11 install USB - going to try to use the installer to replace the files that are corrupt - though i fear the PC can't actually install Windows11.

edit running system scan through installer cmd now..

@dafyre Bitwarden has been great here we migrated the whole company over to using it and forced password changes on the coupel external sites we control. So far no issues.

Terminal should just be using OpenSSH.

This might be the issue. Will have a play after my holidays

In theory, Window's OpenSSH implementation is completely identical to the one on Linux and BSD. I can't way I've tested much in Windows 11, but on 10, it's definitely identical.

"Completely identical" is a bit of a stretch since it's a fork, so it has additions and changes and might not support everything the main project does. It's likely lagging behind the main project too.

But "works the same" or "practically the same" or "has the same code base"...

Microsoft only has one fork, so windows version shouldn't make any noticeable difference.

PS. In OP's case he has probably hasn't the right key in openssh. OpenSSH and Putty don't share their ssh keys. They are in different folders.

Correct - you should be using PJsip. Also as far as changing extensions, you can run into the same issue even if you use the same extension number but you change the channel driver from SIP to PJSIP. This is how I've accomplished the task for remote phones that you can't touch. From your EPM, issue a reboot. Then real quick, you change the extension to use PJSIP, go to EPM, and then do a rebuild. If you do it properly, the phone will then grab the new settings and reconfigure itself and work just fine. You can of course do the same thing if you are changing the extension number on it.

You may also want to look into cable management solutions as well.

@Mario-Jakovina said in ONLYOFFICE has released ONLYOFFICE Docs version 7.1.:

(btw - I hate emails as a communication tool)

I'm an "email first" person, it's my preferred tool for everything communications related. DeltaChat is great and is a WhatsApp / Telegram style chat client built on top of email. (That's actually a form of email client to check out just because it is interesting to see it and realize it is a mail client.) I've run email hosting businesses and run email for one of the world's biggest companies, so I'm pretty passionate about email 🙂

Zoho is definitely my number one. But it is proprietary.

If you want to see open source clients in action, I'd recommend starting with MailCow to see what is out there. RoundCube is big, too.

@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.

@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.
