The one ask I have of MeshCentral is Wayland support.
Maybe, at some point, it's Wayland that needs to step it up.
1.24 is out now.

1.24 is out and addresses the issue.
We ran into this last night. Reported, and there is a temporary fix this morning.
The solution is tested and working for us...

The

channel? Been like a year since your last video hasn't it?
No, the Scott Alan Miller vlog. My big one.
Remember that Eli the Computer Guy that ran scams on Spiceworks a number of years ago? He has this massive YouTube channel with over a million subscribers and whatever. He partnered with Spiceworks but gave anti-IT advice (I can't remember details, but he wasn't technical and was just there to sell whatever.) Anyway... my youtube channel passed his this month! woot woot

Contemplating how to leverage 2 ISP's for supplemental bandwidth when needed using 2 separate routers that are both servicing the same LAN.
......So I'm gonna go post a new topic!
Saw the post. It's not a fun thing. What I did when I had this was I just separated things by machine. Some machines used one connection and some the other based on their workloads. It was "static" but let me use both.
You described basically what I want to do. For general user media consumption (YouTube, Facebook, Amazon shopping etc.) it can just be shipped out the Spectrum cable connection. But for my servers I more or less want those bound to the WAN with static IP. However, my static WAN has slower download speeds than the Spectrum cable. (Static WAN is 50Mbps up and down, Spectrum is 300Mbps down). So when it's time to do a giant update or download new ISOs or whatever, the 300Mbps makes a big difference in time spent waiting.
Separating things at each machine that needs the static WAN by giving them static DGW's is worthwhile for me, but it would be nice to have some load balancing intelligence happening so that large downloads come in through the fast pipe no matter the machine.
I've set up a LANcache for my Steam library which helps a lot for 130gig games and whatever. But when there's a 3-4gig update that isn't cached, the request is sent out the client machine's DGW. I think there's a way to do "Split Horizon" or something so I can setup a couple lists of domains that get allocated to one Gateway or another. Like one list of domain/hosts would be like the known Linux repo hosts would definitely be piped over to the fast download cable. But any requests for say some Linode hosted VPS's I'd want trafficked out the slower static pipe.
Yeah, I still haven't made a decision one way or the other and still have them operating with separate LAN's lol! Full disclosure, I enjoy the relationship between my a** and my couch way too much to be bothered. Potato chips not required but quite frequently present. That's just truly my happy place. So the idea of having to bend over to move a cable or something to get all this setup like I want is just a total buzzkill 99% of the time. But that's the key. 99% of the time. Not 100%. So.... someday. Someday....
Realistically for what you want to do you need a router that understands the traffic and is dividing it up. DNS or split horizon can't do the job. Dividing traffic along paths is actually quite difficult. Especially once you add encryption on the traffic.
@CCWTech said in Clean a Linux or UNIX Text File to Strip Hidden Characters:
@scottalanmiller Great, but can you explain the syntax of the command?
trim anything accept characters 11, 12, or 40-176. The acceptable character ranges.

I know @Oksana is here, maybe she can give some input.
That's just a marketing account most people block.
I've been out drinking with Oksana.
@CCWTech Even if you can do a live migration, you would rarely want to. That means that any change to one system has to be synced to the other and there is no way to replicate the RAM between the systems. They can't both be running at the same time. So the old one has to run until everything is done, then you have downtime as you cut over. You can't do anything seamless between disparate platforms.
The problem with having systems running is that you need storage monitoring that hooks into the storage subsystem and intercepts all storage calls including cache and replicates those changes as it happens. Rarely something you'd want during a migration. It CAN add many, many hours to the process.
Of course, if going to ESXi, one assumes uptime or reliability aren't priorities. So maybe a long, slow process is okay.
@gjacobse I just got back from working in Belize!
Working with Postfix and got some hidden characters that were killing my file. So hard to find. But here is how you do it. In this example it is for the vmail_mailbox file, but this applies to just anything.
tr -cd '\11\12\40-\176' < vmail_mailbox > vmail_mailbox_clean

So that, it's crazy. It's also amazing how much such a tiny quake impacts NYC. We get those weekly and no one notices.

This removes a warning that does not mean what it claims to mean. It is a bad warning that end users should normally not see as it is false and confusing.
Meta is full down here, except for WhatsApp. But Google is chugging along just fine. One has datacenters in the region, the other I assume does not.

@scottalanmiller They aren't down here in the states as far as I can tell.
Downdetector shows everything in the US down. I just heard that AT&T is under attack. It's the US backbone having issues, apparently.
This is the 2nd time in the past few weeks that AT&T has had major issues of some kind in the US. First the cellular service issues, and now their backbone.
Shows how dependent Facebook / Meta is on that one ISP.
