  @scottalanmiller

  Hi,

  this guide no longer works on latest Centos

  CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core)

  I am starting to think that those install helper scripts from dev do more damage than good, and manual way are longer but better:

  @travisdh1 I have some reading to do.
  md + LVM + XFS. What's md?
  XFS and btrfs. What's btrfs?
  I should be able to fire up a VM (CentOS?) and experiment with this before I move to a physical box?
  Any favorite distros?
  EDIT: To clarify, this is for my home lab. I won't do this at work until I can break it and fix it. I haven't had a Linux box under my fingers for years, - many years.
  I don't count appliances & preconfigured, vendor supplied VMs and boxes. Those I have in spades.
  Thanks

  @matteo-nunziati said in replacement for netstat is ss:

  yeas it is a lot of time since developers have created a new gen of net tools but still I feel more confy with old stile commands

  Yeah, I'm more comfortable with the new things like ip instead if ifconfig every day, but still seems odd at times.

  @wrx7m have you ever considered this site for av comparisons? Just found the shadowserver foundation few months ago...

  I don't believe I have. Thanks for the tip. Looks interesting.

  unfortunately they don't track all AV suites... some results are still interesting

  I noticed webroot wasn't there.

  @pmoncho said in Is Tintri Heading for Pure and Nutanix Territory Financially?:

  @scottalanmiller

  I get that they gamble. I am an investor but the mentality to throw good money after bad doesn't make sense to me. Initial stages (GOOGL, AMZN, FB, NFLX, etc) and a few years I understand. Companies going on 10+ years, burn immense amounts of cash, high debt and everyone is paid in stock options are the ones I cannot wrap my head around. Good money after bad IMHO.

  Depends. Ones like Nutanix with zero plan, that makes no sense and that's why we are concerned here. Others, like Amazon, that are obviously and publicly trading profits today for market growth, but could be profitable at any moment if they wanted to be make total sense.

  What are some advantages to using FreePBX and not going direct to a VoIP provider?

  SIP Provider Failover Free Extension to Extension Calling Maybe more Control? Voicemail, Call Forwarding, etc?

  Extension to Extension is big for me. The whole family can call each other this way.

  Except when you setup direct to VoIP.ms it is still ext to ext.

  Oh really? And you don't pay per extension?

  They are just sub accounts.

  Interesting. That's pretty handy.

  Are we using IVR and voicemail greetings the same way?

  Isn't IVR the interactive thing with menus and "press 1 for this" etc?

  Nothing interactive about standard voicemail.

  Does FreePBX have separate voicemail vs. IVR or is it all one in the same?

  Separate

  Cant you just use the wsus console to view this information? It will tell you how many computers and which computers need/have a specific update applied.
  I suppose you could take that page, find the query it uses and copy it.
  Or just use the console.

  Is sharing a single network connection between two servers dumb?

  @creayt said in Is sharing a single network connection between two servers dumb?:

  @dashrender said in Is sharing a single network connection between two servers dumb?:

  This isn't a NIC teaming situation.

  The OP has one internet connection that needs to be split over two servers.

  Normally one would install a switch and then run a cable from each server to the switch, and the switch to the internet... BUT - in this case, the OP doesn't have an open power socket for the switch (it would cost them more money) so they are looking for a way to do ICS (Internet connection sharing) from one server to the other.

  This really seems like a bad idea. I'm guessing this means no Out of Band connections for the servers, and only a single connection for both servers. So if the first server dies, the second one becomes useless.

  Really seems like a time to re-evaluate the priorities here - why are you in a DC if you can't afford these other seemingly needed things.

  Thanks for the response! If the first server died, the datacenter team would pull the cable from the dead server and immediately plug it into the 2nd server, so there'd be a small window of downtime, but it'd theoretically take over all duties immediately. Agree it's a bad idea, but this is all for a hobby project where some downtime is acceptable and I'm trying to really be a cheap muhfuh :)

  Not sure that would work. It would depend on how it's set up.

  Interesting feature, what's it main use though?

  Not tieing my to me desk to make a phone call. I wear a DECT headset pretty much all day. When I am at my desk I don't need this function, but when I am working from elsewhere around the house, I cannot originate a call without it. That or I have to walk back to my office.

  Luckily FOP2 also has a call origination function.

  aww, since your headset doesn't have a keypad, you need this to make calls from your headset.

  Why would I want a headset to have a keypad? It is a headset.

  I know your just angry because you haven't had enough coffee or nooners, whatever - it's OK.

  If hangry is when being hungry makes you angry, would this be cangry or nangry?

  I might need to investigate Wine again, when I tried it, things were rough to say the least.

  I haven't run Wine in a while, but when last I tried, any app that needed SSL did not work. Browsers couldn't do HTTPS, any app that tried to do encryption or anything like that would fail... If they'd fix that a lot more games and online things would work.

  Interesting, had no idea about this.

  This is relatively recent as well, like in the Wine 1.9 & 2.0 branches.

  Good to know, I was just debating on switching my gaming machine over recently, glad I didn't if this recent hiccup is going to cause issues.

  Steam under Wine worked well, as did several of my games. But WOW did not.

  For a lab, you can also get additional space by altering the setup here.

  CSV1 on Node1 & Node2.
  CSV2 on Node2 & Node3.
  CSV3 on Node3 & Node1.

  You now have more space that can be used, whilst still keeping a redundant copy of all data available.

  Just an overlook: https://aws.amazon.com/it/blogs/aws/glacier-vault-lock/ .

  It should be cheaper than tapes or HDD for that range of data.

  @eddiejennings said in FreePBX and time zones:

  What does the Admin > System Admin > Time Zone setting affect? Should it affect the actual system clock of the server?

  Here's my scenario:

  During FreePBX Install (the OS part), do not set the time zone, which defaults to UTC. After the install, reboot, log into the FreePBX GUI. During the initial setup, you're prompted to confirm a time zone. At this time I specify EST. Reports > Asterisk Logfiles show logs in UTC (which makes sense, since from the OS perspective the time zone is UTC). Envelopes for voice mails are also in UTC.

  There is a setting for this, but I cannot find it right now.

  The UCP is supposed to be improved, but it looks like more work instead. Need more time with that.

  @bigbear said in Trying the FreePBX 13 to 14 Upgrade:

  I gave the UCP a try, there was no default layout or apps. Kind of a miss there because by comparison it is maybe its stronger using-facing benefit.

  @jaredbusch said in Trying the FreePBX 13 to 14 Upgrade:

  That is what I am seeing and wondering WTF.

  We have plans to add customization by Administrators from within User Manager. We will also note to add default layouts in there as well.

  The tutorial walks you through most of this however.

  More to come in time.

  Yeah, a default layout would be awesome. The tutorial is good. I went through it yesterday.

  @eddiejennings said in Independant Contractors on a FreePBX system:

  @dashrender Logically, I shouldn't make that assumption. The assumption is based on a gut feeling fueled by some experience.

  I gotcha - if I'm a contractor, and that's not a spelled out benefit, and it's clear that the benefit is being removed because I'm no longer using my own phone, I'd be rather unhappy at the pay cut.
