Does anyone have any experience or ideas in changing the installation location so that system users can actually use MicroSIP when installed and maintained using choco? Asking for @Dashrender and @romo as well. I think this might work: choco install microsip -ia "'/D=C:\SomeDirectory'" choco install microsip -ia "'/D=C:\temp'" Did install it to C:\temp for me Is it working for non-admin users? Yep, I can run the .exe from my C:\temp. You'll probably have to create a shortcut for a user tho. yep, I just tried it - I pushed to c:\program files\microsip and non admins can run it. and you're right, the shortcut is put on the installing admin's desktop, and nothing in the start menu. MicroSIP - open source portable SIP softphone based on PJSIP stack for Windows OS. https://www.microsip.org/ It says right on the website it’s a portable app, why would you expect a desktop icon or anything on the start menu?

Already saw the email notice and checked it out. It looks very interesting.

Useful tools for networking!

@mlnews said in Miscellaneous Tech News: Facebook shuts down 150 fake Chinese accounts Facebook has shut down a network of more than 150 fake profiles linked to China for "co-ordinated" interference in political discussions. While mainly concerned with backing China's interests, some also posted about the US presidential election. It is only the second time that Facebook has identified such fake accounts as originating in China. The network had about 130,000 followers - although very few of these were in the US. The accounts starting appearing in 2016, and most of the information was related to China's influence in the Philippines and South-East Asia. They were traced back to individuals based in Fujan province, who were beginning to pay for advertisements in Chinese yuan, Facebook said. Much of the content was in support of the Chinese state - such as promoting its interests in the disputed South China Sea. So they weren't really Chinese?

My daughter just downloaded that, is it good? It's super simple, but a lot of fun. But only if you have friends to play with. It's not a game to play on your own.

Here it is This is the error: Check if the error is present by by visiting Help-> About Avimark. If you confirm the error is showing follow the steps: Close Avimark Find the Avimark shortcut in the desktop, right click and open its properties. In the target section add /regserver to the Avimark link and click ok to save the change. Right click on the Avimark shortcut and run it as an ADMINISTRATOR Let it run for a bit (1-2 min), nothing will appear to be happening but it really is. Right click the shortcut again, go into properties and remove the added /regserver to the target field (returning the shortcut to the original state). Open up Avimark again and the error should be gone and the machine will be printing again.

taking a few mins to watch this!

@JasGot said in Who do you use for a 1U RackmountPC?: @Pete-S Yea, I called our Partner rep. they are building it for me now. I think it is going to be pricey...... May end up building one from the ground up. Haven't done that is over 15 years! This is definitely a case (pun intended) where whiteboxing is going to be the way to go, or near white boxing, with a SuperMicro partner.

Or to be ready for when you suddenly half to! Although they make you more efficient all of the time.

@marcinozga said in Microservices - any real world examples?: @stacksofplates said in Microservices - any real world examples?: @marcinozga said in Microservices - any real world examples?: @stacksofplates said in Microservices - any real world examples?: Bitwarden isn't a microservice based architecture. It's just a service based. If you're using a shared database, it's not a microservice. Microservices each have their own database and then either through your API gateway, service discovery, message broker, etc each service queries the other service for the data it needs. That’s a false statement. Microservices can share single database. In perfect world each microservice would have each own, but we’re far from perfect. No it's not. That's what defines it as a microservice. If the services all talk to the same database, it's just a service based architecture. No, because there’s really no single definition of microservices. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microservices Also https://microservices.io/patterns/data/shared-database.html I'd take Neal Ford's word over Wikipedia

We've had the Meeting Owl for about a year now. It's great - though the room it's in is smaller than yours. We've got another larger room with a more traditional camera. That room is less popular than the smaller one, partly because at the remote end people prefer the view given by the Meeting Owl.

@Pete-S said in Video Editing Rig Ideas: @scottalanmiller said in Video Editing Rig Ideas: @JaredBusch said in Video Editing Rig Ideas: @scottalanmiller said in Video Editing Rig Ideas: @Pete-S said in Video Editing Rig Ideas: Your choice of camera can also affects performance a lot due to format. Some formats are very slow to edit and requires ingestion and re-encoding for decent editing performance. I do everything in a mix of h.264 and h.265 Why would you export anything in h.264 today? Or do you mean your device actually natively records to h.265? The devices. I try to use h.265 whenever I get the choice. This is not a good choice. You want to edit in a format that is easy to decode and H.265 is not. So to be able to edit you either have to re-encode your H.265 video clips into another format (aka transcoding) suitable for your editor or suffer much slower editing performance. If you shoot in H264 you can probably edit it directly without much impact. The editing software will re-encode it on the fly. H.265 is a delivery format. GoPro says h264 only for legacy older devices. H265 is their editing format. H265 works fine on newer hardware.

@dbeato We don't have web filtering capabilities at this location. It's just a Linksys gateway router (not sure there are filtering capabilities on it). Access to this device is limited to 1 person, and no configs changed.

@JaredBusch Nice find. the second one is the once changed by the setting in your video. That other one must be an override to enforce M$ wishes on the end user!
