I've used Logitech trackballs for over 20 years now. Been using the M570 both at work and at home for quite a while.

As for keyboards, I've also used various ergonomic keyboards (mostly logitech and MS) for the past 20 years. For the past 10+ years, my keyboard of choice is an Adesso PCK-208B...definitely not compatible with a tight workspace, but it works well for me. Initially bought it because, well, I'm cheap, and so was it.

Awesome thing about having a ergo keyboard plus trackball at home:
Visitor: Can I use your computer?
Me: Sure, help yourself
Visitor (looks puzzled staring at keyboard/trackball combo): Nevermind
Me (Grinning): Suit yourself

My stepfather has 4 that are linked to different machines via software the simulates the mouse movement across screens seamlessly. He likes having Fedora but also has to have windows for some in house applications.

I use 1 at work and two at home.

Syngergy?

It was Synergy btw

@scottalanmiller wow!

Would be more interesting, I think, to see things like post count and other kinds of activity.

Somewhat related, I use f.lux as an addon to my machines. Changes the hue depending on the time of day or can be manually set/scheduled.

I think RedShift does that on Fedora, but I've never tried.

Yes, it does, I just tried.

@matteo-nunziati thanks for the info!

@JaredBusch said in A recommendation for Buffalo NASes (or at least their support):

I do prefer Synology over Buffalo though.

HW wise, the main argument for synology over buffalo here in Italy is if you use a NAS as a primary file server: no Terastation 5000 has redundant powersupply, nor easy maintainance is allowed on site. If power suppl. blows: byebye data, you are KO for a couple of days.

synology is really well engineered. I'm thinking specifically at TS5400r vs rs815rp+

(also buffalo do not provides units populated with 8TB disks (not yet... hell 8TB in a single disk, brrr))

Circle has evolved much more to even pn the 4G service. I have my own review of it that I can share. It is actually not controlled by DNS but rather by device. I had it for two months before the 4G service as a trial and worked as intended but the hardest part was to control it remotely, I needed to be at home or my wife and the Android apps wasn't that great. I would think Untangle can do the sam as well. I can share my review if you want.

To be honest I am using OpenDNs right now.

From a high level it reads simpler than what had to be done with Server 2012 R2.

Still not sure I would use it in production though.

Thanks, stating my thoughts better than I was.

@ntozier said in Buffalo NAS Return Policy Review:

Maybe the person you spoke to didn't realize if was just for a single drive? I mean I find the some non-technical users think of a Tower as the "hard drive". :)

Here is a quote from him: "And that was for the entire NAS with two 4TB drives (I only needed one drive)!!!"

Veeam is a great product, and it has saved my bacon numerous times. It has so many features people just don't realize even exist. And their support has always been stellar. Thanks for sharing.

We had an issue not long ago where one of our SQL databases would throw a backup error in Veeam and bomb the backup job. Support helped me figure out there was some corruption within the database that needed to be resolved first and even gave some guidance on how to go about clearing up the corruption. Without the help from their support we might have been further corrupted and had this cause us so much more heartache down the road.

Thanks! Checking it out now. I need to get information on this stuff for HIPAA compliance and anything to save cash or make things easier is great.

@Dashrender said in Google Home:

I started a new thread for it.

Perfect! Anyone who wants to post them there, I will test them and video them even, if people want!

@sudobashnet said in osTicket 1.10:

Hey all,

I'm also new here (referred by ntozier via osTicket forums). I'm the developer for the Reports Plugin (the new and improved reporting module for osTicket 1.10). I just wanted to drop in and say hello as well, I'll likely be lurking around anything osTicket related or anything else that catches my fancy while I'm scrolling through. ;)

Thanks,
Scott

Awesome! Great to have you here.

@Breffni-Potter said in Atera RMM:

Looks like a compelling product but I can't touch it until they have an approach to data handling and so on.

What do you mean by this?

In essence, they have no terms & conditions for their online backup service. This is important. Zero policy or mention about data security, A US owned company holding EU data is a big deal. Every provider has this, anyone who doesn't, run a mile. I did email their support to query this, all I got was that the data was hosted on Microsoft Azure and here's a list of technical things we do to protect the data. No HTTPS on the customer portal, yes customer information should be protected.

It's a real shame because it's a great price point, solid feature-set (Webroot intergration, woo!) but I'm really nervous about trusting it with client data. I specifically asked about US/EU data rules and they didn't really answer the question. Not a good first sign.

For those in the UK or EU, you would be giving a two fingered salute to your data protection laws by using this product as it stands. It is not enough that Azure is the hosting platform, the regulations insist that the provider (In this case Atera) who has control over the rented infrastructure adheres to certain steps and procedures.

@RojoLoco said in Sample Product Review Thread:

And they are nice to hold kitchen stuff too - small appliances, pots and pans, etc.

Maybe that is why they call them baker's racks ;)

@Murtlap said in Moto Z Force - Review:

just found your review, great info

Glad you found it helpful! :) Still kicking ass though I've come across a few minor bugs. But, I guess that's android for you. :P

I have an ASUS ultrabook and I love it. It's built really well. I think I'm going to buy their stuff from now on. Unless I get enough money to buy a System76.
