  @FATeknollogee said in Fedora 33 upgrade time: I thought you've always been a Cinnamon guy! I liked Cinnamon the most of the spins when I first tested out Fedora. Because of that I started with Korora. But the current Gnome is clean, and with two plugins it works well for me.

  @JasGot said in Worthwhile IT projects or products for small office with extra money?: They though about a new projector in their board room, but it will not fall under the $2,500 mark. Wonder why... Also if the board room is not too big, a professional signage screen is usually better than a projector. For instance a 75" 4K from Philips or Samsung will be sub $2K. Larger screens such as 82", 86" will probably be on the limit budget wise. Many of these screens has integrated media player/web browser as well so you don't really need to hook them up to a computer - if you don't want to.

  Also you can setup a Cross Tenant Migration which I just did for 3 accounts into one, works well. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/enterprise/cross-tenant-mailbox-migration?view=o365-worldwide You can also setup your Domain B on that AntiSpam System as well too.

Versus just a blank screen? Isn't the effect the same - a locked system? No, a screensaver actively uses resources to operate. A blank screen is off. Plus Cmmd+L locks the screen, no need for a screensaver to do that for you. the screensaver also has a 'blank' mode which has an associated timer... If the user set it at 1 min, I'm sure it's about security with them, not some stupid pipe drawing program.... so I'm back to my original comment. blank screen/screen saver - who cares - end result is the same, a locked system. Yeah, that was going on too! too?

  You can trying using auditd to audit the file. sudo apt-get install auditd Running sudo auditctl -l by default show no rules Create a temporary rule to audit changes to index.php sudo auditctl -w /var/www/html/index.php -p rwxa # -p = read, write, execute, attributes Run sudo auditctl -l will show the rule that was created. Now run sudo ausearch -f index.php | more to show what's touching index.php or sudo tail -f /var/log/audit/audit.log | grep index.php.

  @JaredBusch said in Yealink T46S Pricing: So far the Fanvil X4U I purchased for testing is working well. I'll likely be quoting the X4 and X5 lines along with Yealink phones for customers going forward. Same here, last few projects have gone to Fanvil. So much cheaper than Yealink. We've got several in our own offices now and we are loving them.

  @killmasta93 said in Zabbix Agent alert on active mode?: The template i have for the agents on windows and linux called OS windows active agent and OS linux active agent. But i implemented proxy i had it directly to the zabbix server only issue there is that my server was getting overloaded Really odd, my suggestion for the alert you´re working with is based on ping trigger (usually included on the template) instead of Timeout macro (but I´m not plenty sure that´s the reason of the issue), because, as far I can see on your screenshots or the setup its not responding to macro (may happen some times) or macro may not respond on short period of times (see the warning on "Consider to keep it relatively high"), As far I know macros are not useful on short periods of time, that´s why I have not used on my side (unless necessary)

I assume that's an issue for you.

  After way too much time spent on this, we found the problem is twofold. Hopefully this will help someone else in a similar situation. In the Lumens, to get it to recognize a new stream key for Facebook, we had to put in some random text characters in the stream key field, save the changes, paste the new stream key, and save the changes. That would generate the preview and allow streaming to Facebook no problem. We found there was a greater issue present. The internet speed at the building where the encoder sits was supposed to be 100 / 7, but they were not getting anything close to that. Once we got Facebook working in addition to YouTube, we found streaming both caused them to be extremely choppy. After having an ISP technician out to the building last week, they said the wiring in the box outside the building was awful, we were at the end of the line, and that he was surprised we ever got internet signal to the building. They are working on clearing up the pipe now so the signal is strong and clean, and we're upgrading to 200 / 10 pretty soon. We also changed the video resolution we're sending to YouTube and Facebook so we're using a lot less bandwidth to ensure we don't use the entire upload pipe.

  @Skyetel I can switch my personal account to registration. Or some spare numbers on our company account. I don't have a "spare" system that will get calls though. So if you can have registration from the same IP as a current endpoint, I can actually do it and have traffic. Otherwise, it will be sporadic traffic from my personal account, currently hooked up to a VitalPBX instance I am testing.

What does using office 365 effect the browser? I've seen more often that Google chrome works better on O365 web products than IE or Edge (pre Chedg) The only thing that doesn't work on Chrome and other browsers from Office 365 is the Export to PST option but besides that it works well on the other browsers.

I just installed a new power plug myself behind my TV... though not an outside wall, not that that should be that big of a deal... Yeah, unless these walls are filled to the edge with spray foam, feeding a few power cables down isn't going to be an issue. With fiberglass you'd just push through the insulation in those specific paths and it still wouldn't be that big of a loss. Yeah, It's a new building so I hope there is spray foam. But even then it might not be that difficult. Might just need a wire probe. No one around here does spray foam by default. It should be. But yeah I don't think it's the default where @wirestyle22 is either. I wonder what the price difference is? I'm guessing it used to be huge, but perhaps today, not so much?? Now if you were renovating and doing this yourself you can pick up spray foam kits that cost ~$770 which while still pricey, would save money compared to fiberglass. That's it? We need to replace the insulation in our attic. Might have to do it ourselves if the DIY spray foam is that cheap now. Yeah, that's per kit, each kit covers ~200 sqf at 1". It wouldn't be unexpected to need 2 or 3 kits to cover a single crawlspace attic. 1" - HAHA, so it's $770 for 57 square feet in reality. I've also watched it being done (online) - it's an art, like spray painting cars... it takes a good amount of practice to not over spray the amount needed and end up with a ton of waste... in the attic, if it overflows, not that big of deal, but in walls, you don't want to waste a bunch that you're cutting off and discarding. I purchased a 200ft kit, for like $350 I think, to do my rim joists in my crawl space. It's super easy. I believe once you're spending ~$1000 on materials (depending on local rates) it ends up being cheaper to hire somebody to do for you. For closed cell foam you can only apply so thick in one pass before it's cured, so to get the R rating you would need for an attic in a colder climate zone, it would be insane to use a closed cell kit. Not only is it stupid expensive to do yourself, but waiting for curing between layers and crawling around in the attic multiple times in a poor mans hazmat suit? No thanks. Typically if you're doing foam in an attic they do a single layer of closed cell, then open cell on top. When I did my attic I pumped in ~20" (R60) of loose fill fiberglass insulation for like $200... most home improvement stores lend you the machine for free if you buy enough bags, 10 bags in my case. I only used 6 bags and returned the rest with no questions asked. I will definitely go this route again on my next house.

  @black3dynamite said in Roaming Profiles killing local copy: @Dashrender said in Roaming Profiles killing local copy: @travisdh1 said in Roaming Profiles killing local copy: @flaxking said in Roaming Profiles killing local copy: Just wondering if any of you with more experience with Roaming Profiles can explain this behaviour. There's an old Roaming Profiles set-up that's been dragged along through the years and we're wanting to senset it. One thing we're seeing is that for users who's roaming Profiles write-back haven't been working, (maybe permission error on some files) if we do something that might trigger it to star working again (like add folder exclusion), their local profile gets nuked. It seems like this is only an issue with roaming Profiles that haven't been working, if they've been working, any changes we've made hadn't had the affect off killing the local profile and starting fresh. I've check for any GPO settings that might be asking for the local profile to be deleted, but I haven't found anything. From what I understand, the profiles should only be merging. Has anyone else seen behaviour like this before where a roaming profile goes from not working to working and it kills the local copy? It's been a long, long time since I touched anything with roaming profiles. Just about everyone uses redirected folders now if they need that sort of functionality, and this is one of the reasons. Roaming profiles just proved very buggy historically. man, I dislike redirecting things like the desktop... it's no longer a local folder and makes using it as a scratch pad super slow... Ever since I embraced using OneDrive and Nextcloud, I would use junctions points. Folders like Desktop, Documents and so on would be stored in the OneDrive or Nextcloud folder and then I would use junction points. The user shell folders paths will still stay the same. This is what I do.

Haven't tried those though. https://store.ui.com/collections/unifi-network-routing-switching/products/unifi-building-to-building-bridge Yes, These are a great solution that fill a very comman gap IMO. So many building to building links are done with products that were designed for much longer ranges, simply because there was never a solution designed for the smaller ranges. So those look interesting for sure and could be an option. I got to see the site and there are quite a few trees between the buildings so this may not work. It might be better fore to just blanket the area from a single focal point.
