I moved from Veeam free to Nakivo free (we only have less than 1tb)
But seems good speed wise, not actually benchmarked it.

But I like it at the moment.

@eddiejennings said in Icacls: Granting WO access to folder:

But there's more to the story it seems. Are you needing to share the %PROGRAMDATA% folder over the network

No - the folder doesn't need to be shared. The DB on the server - needs the path mapped.

Google+ class action starts paying out $2.15 for G+ privacy violations

Google exposed the private data of 52 million users in 2018 and got sued.
Who remembers the sudden and dramatic death of Google+? Google's Facebook competitor and "social backbone" was effectively dead inside the company around 2014, but Google let the failed service hang around for years in maintenance mode while the company spun off standalone products. In 2018, The Wall Street Journal reported that Google+ had exposed the private data of "hundreds of thousands of users" for years, that Google knew about the problem, and that the company opted not to disclose the data leak for fear of regulatory scrutiny. In the wake of the report, Google was forced to acknowledge the data leak, and the company admitted that the "private" data of 500,000 accounts actually wasn't private. Since nobody worked on Google+ anymore, Google's "fix" for the bug was to close Google+ entirely. Then the lawsuits started.

And, let's hope, that there is some regulatory scrutiny over this!

Boeing delays rerun of Starliner space capsule test

The American Boeing company is attempting this week to run another test flight of its new astronaut capsule.
The CST-100 Starliner will launch from Florida at some point to showcase how it can ferry crews to and from the International Space Station (ISS). It will be the second test flight, and conducted with no people aboard. The previous demonstration in 2019 encountered software problems that very nearly caused the loss of the capsule. The Starliner will ride to orbit on an Atlas-5 rocket from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Controllers had been targeting Tuesday for the launch but scrubbed the countdown with two-and-a-half hours left on the clock, to allow for investigation of technical issues related to the capsule's propulsion system.

Starliner has been rolled back to the Assembly Building for additional check, and it is unknown when they will attempt again.

Launch of Boeing's Starliner capsule delayed indefinitely

If it is anything like the 737 Max, let's hope they table this forever.

I've 'programmed' thousands of alcoholic drinks, different liquors, shots etc. into Aloha Systems

If you have to develop code to add drinks into their systems, I'd rather not use the tool. That seems so over the top. Do they support a lot of languages? Seems limiting.

It's not actual programming code that's why i used the 'programming' as that is what it is called in the field.
Really it's just data entry of products, adding items through the GUI.

That kind of reminds me of "programming printers"

OMG, classic.

data=["WIPRO"]

Should this not simply be

data="WIPRO" ?

i can do that,i am trying to download more companies like 50.So need to add through [] only

In bash arrays are defined with parens, like data=("WIPRO"). Then you would need to loop over the items in the array. Something like

for i in ${data[@]}; do nsecli history --symbol $i..... done

Not watching the Boeing Starliner launch - for the second time as it is delayed again.

Wifey and I started watching Sweet Tooth a couple of nights ago on Netflix. We finished the pilot and may keep watching it, lol.

I've seen it listed,.. just not sure about it as of yet. Could be quite interesting - What's your impression?

It's easier to tell you that the first episode is worth a watch, lol. But basically a virus is trying to wipe out humanity and you get various types of hyrbids... The world goes to shit and that's where the story picks up... It's about this kid who has antlers like a deer. They do answer how the show got its name in the first episode though.

The good news is that that I haven't seen any zombies yet.

+1 for no zombies.. I'm tired of running.

ETA: and I can't keep tripping people.

Don't worry, I'll trip you... ermm.... I mean trip them for you.

While I think Scott's a bit overblown with the whole Windows Server and SQL server to be "serious" I see where he's coming from.
For example sticking with Windows 10 for example is likely fine because I'm assuming it's being run on and from a single machine connected to the gate system, not a remote server, etc...

It's a licensing requirement if you want security and reliable multi-user access. Otherwise you have to use the shared-file system of a JetDB that is completely exposed to things like ransomware. And that is highly flaky once you have more than about five users.

This really seems like a single computer setup - so while what you mention could be good, might be overkill for this setup.

It is a Raspberry Pi setup, IMO. I think @JasGot is right on that.

I think he is off on the "wishing he had 5 hours" thing though.

I don't know enough about controlling Pi pins to handle this. I think that would be better than the serial interface for the relay control. But it will also require then new wiring which is physical.

The barcode readers should be a standard listen for input handler.

The database design should be pretty straightforward.

The user interface does not sound like it needs to be complex, but like anything, you need to make it comfortably usable, or users will not use.

Finally, security of the application, it's users, data, etc will have to be designed.

You may have to clear browser cache to fully get rid of the nag. Mine kept coming back, clearing caches got rid of it.

I run this prior to ever opening the web interface, so never an issue.

@roopankumar said in WiFi router connectivity:

will the laptop can use the router for internet...

You mentioned a wifi modem. Technically a modem and router are different things. We are guessing you mean that you have a consumer router / firewall / switch / access point / modem all in one. But that's a bit of a guess. There's no info in your question. So based on nothing other than "what people tend to buy and call these things", yeah, likely your setup will work.

But do we have anything to go on to determine this? No, not a single detail that we'd need to know to actually determine it.

A client of mine is getting out of a situation like that with Cox.

Cox charged like $80/m originally per phone for 4 phones - they installed the cable, the switch, the UPS, then 5 years ago lowed the price to $50/m/each.

Now they are moving to FreePBX, paying their own hosting fees, and bought the phones outright. Monthly bill fell by approx 75%

@syko24 said in Is VOIP.MS down?:

All my clients are not able to register their connections to VOIP.MS. Anyone else having this issue?

Actually it seems Chicago7 is currently down.

So it seems that the Chicago locations were all brought down and eventually failed over to the Toronto locations.

To be fair, I prefer to use nginx with k8s,

I don't see the benefit to Kubernetes in the small shops.

It genuinely makes things a lot easier. It's really easy to get up and running. Rancher makes federation really easy. Monitoring and central logging can be handled through a single helm chart. mTLS can also be handled through a single helm chart. Service discovery means your networking just works. Developing containerized apps is multiple times easier than developing legacy apps. 12 factor apps make setup easy.

It's much easier than using config management/infrastructure automation to manage multiple vms.
