I have two roadblocks with a .net core console app I need to get resolved. I am looking for someone with the expertise to solve these issues for me.

I can discuss the app here, but if you are interested, let's negotiate the terms privately.

Is it a Linux issue, .NET on Linux issue, or an issue with the software? Running .NET on Linux is very straightforward and is an IT issue. The software is a programming issue. So important as it affects what type of firm you'd engage.

I can't get it to run properly as a serviced. No idea why. Not my cup of tea.

That should be easy enough. It will run manually?

@pmoncho said in Powershell "-eq" operator and "False":

I am always confused by single vs double quotes and when to use them. I will take your advice and use single first.

Single quotes are literal, double quotes resolve variables, expressions, cmdlets, anything with a $ or $() in double quotes.

@jaredbusch said in Indentation Style:

@pmoncho tab indentation needs to die in nuclear fire.

Thankfully, modern IDE systems like Visual Studio Code and others all auto swap a tab for 4 spaces by default.

Personally, I prefer a 2 space indentation, but 4 seems to be the most common.

I didn't think Tab's were that big of a deal as I never had an issue between Vi, Nano, Notepad or Notepad++. I guess it is mostly a habit from using text editors.

Hmm... I always hated having press the space bar more than twice (only after "." mostly). Maybe I will try using two spaces in the next script to see how that pans out.

@osvaldo Can you provide some screenshots? Or any live URL?

@jaredbusch said in limiting asterisk/freepbx to some "User Agent":

The problem with this is that I can customize my user agent to be anything I want.

So as soon as anyone knows what you are doing, it is trivial to customize my device user-agent to spoof the one you want to see.

Yeah, that was what I was wondering - I was pretty sure the user-agent string is in plain text, so anyone can sniff the network and now they're in.

So a bit more than security through obscurity, thought not sure how much more.

If you are using TLS, it is not easily visible.

But, if you know what it is, then you can still set it. But it helps hide it if you don't know what's being sent.

I did some experimenting... but it's not always the case, it depends on what you are doing. But doing this with simple counting results:

I wasn't aware of GitLab though.

Same thing, different logo 🙂

I use GitLab, both are good. GitHub is owned by MS now, GitLab is open source. GL has a lot of outages, but they do more for free.

I haven't noticed any outages that I can remember recently. GitHub however has had at least one major outage every year since 2017 and already multiole big ones this year.

Thanks again everyone for all of the informations! 🙂

@Carnival-Boy said in Best way for teenager to learn to develop a game:

Like I said above, he likes programming Python, nothing to do with gaming.

Good deal, then. Then Python game programming is likely the place to start. Leverage what he likes.

Anyway, you couldn't really do any serious applications with gwbasic. It was followed by qbasic a little later.

I was in time to get to do both. Still have the original GWBASIC manuals!

I just did a little with both. But this was around the same time that Borland released Turbo Pascal and at least in my view it became the serious language to make PC applications with in that era. It was almost instant compilation and it had a very good IDE.

@dbeato said in Powershell - Find GPO's for specific Group:

Aside from the script you are looking for, is there a reason why the delegation is that way or are you trying to limit access to those GPOs? Or cleaning them up?

Its all of the above.

I created multiple GPO's (limiting the scope of each GPO) that affect only certain groups on the same RDS server. This is due to the upcoming changes in our LOB application and moving to our new 2019 RDS servers. I wanted to make it as easy for my internal users and external remote clients to have what the need while limiting access as much as possible (yes, I do believe I over-complicated things).

The main reason for the script was cleanup. It was rough finding the groups I delegated to each specific GPO's instead of fumbling through each one.

I see, make it then a habit also to document changes 🙂 That will help ( I know I am stating the obvious) but it comes to bite you in the rear end a lot of times if not in place.

You are NOT kidding. I had a decent doc going but a little laziness and getting side tracked by management, and here we are! ugh! Lol

Have you tried the existing free tools like odoo or partkeepr?

Odoo seems to be asking for money when selected the Sales and Inventory or Purchase
Partkeepr cannot be installed in Windows machine as checked.unable to install this because others are not able to use Unix/Linux OS

@guyinpv said in Top 10 Advantages of Using Wordpress for Website Development:

It's ok to not try and convince me how "powerful" WP is, I'm aware of how it works, I've laid out many points already. I'm painfully aware of its problems, for 10+ years now.

Instead of being frustrated, send all these customers my way. I'd love to handle all this stuff, we do WP all the time and while any product will have problems when abused, that's our job to fix it and manage it for people who obviously can't do it themselves (which often includes their bad IT people.)

Whether you see WP as great and these things as not problems, or you see them as frustrating but good business opportunities, as an IT firm that does WP hosting, design, and support, we would be thrilled to take this problem off of your hands. No need to feel like it's a bad thing.

@dave_c lol, thanks for the insight though. I love a good tool

In that original thread, I never caught this before, he also said:

Most of you have never even setup a printer to print through word and mail merge so that when a letter is printed it prints the envelope, pulls from tray 1 for Company Letterhead and prints the rest from tray 2 and collates them.

This is not easy to google so let me here the steps if you can do this.

In my experience it's always the biggest idiots on the planet who make assumptions about what someone can and cannot do as a means to measure knowledge or ability. Suggesting someone has almost certainly never setup a printer scenario in such an asinine way and as though that's bragging rights of some sort is sort of like when someone told me that I [thinking I was a different person than I really was] wasn't capable playing Sweet Home Alabama on the guitar... three times, and each time more indignant. This was a case of a genuinely stupid person.
