Jitsi made me think "some sort of JIT VM?"

I use chromium based browsers rather than chrome itself which had ties into google (and isn't open source I believe).

How would you compare the two?

It's the same just without the Google Bits and you have to install the NPAPI version of flash rather than use a built-in one as you have to have a special distribution license for Flash and Reader (IT Departments even need to request a free one and keep it on file to install flash or reader on their computers).

If even shows it's poor engineering. The power connector is right on the edge of the chassis instead of in the center as it should be. Also why use a mickey mouse plug over a IEC C14 3 prong that is normal for network/servers.

It's the cheapest Chinese junk that money can't buy.

Hey guys

I am currently working on to setup conference rooms connecting our 3 offices, and thinking of keeping it simple by using Skype!

We have MAC minis spare @ our office, so planning to set that and connect to our conference room TVs, and setup a generic account. Map the network drive with one folder where everyone can drop in their files that needs for their meeting. Reason for MAC is we have some users with keynotes.

The audio will be through the SONOS speaker system which is used in the conference room already.

Now looking for good MIC and Cameras. I think the camera should be a wide angle HD camera and MIC is possible a wifi with USB dongle, that I can connect to the MAC and keep the mic at the center of the table so it is accessible for everyone. (With noise cancellation for sure)

Camera, I am thinking of:

Logitech Webcam C930e

And Mic xTag USB

Suggestions please

Again, I like helping people. Most people view someone who constantly corrects someone as haughty or kind of a jackass. @scottalanmiller can back me up on this, but when people with my type of mind correct you, it's to benefit you.

If you look like a jackass, smell like a jackass, and sound like a jackass, guess what? You're probably a jackass. Saying "people with my type of mind" is just a cop-out, I don't know why you're name dropping Scott - I don't see him being a jackass.

I name dropped @scottalanmiller because he understands how I think. Most people will constantly correct someone to be condescending. That's not me. I do it because I want to help someone and help them improve. It's the exact opposite motivation as most people. I know most people don't understand that and quite literally have a mental block that means they can't. They are so conditioned to how it is with most of the world.

Still, from a statistical standpoint, people like me and @scottalanmiller are a tiny percentage of the population.

@scottalanmiller Thanks.I can do some things by this ML Knowledge sharing people only.

That's definitely different than other trusted sources lead me to understand.

Check your sources. Are they quoting the laundry list of 2013 (this article was 2014) references to the opposite being true? Looks like there was reason to believe it in 2013, but nothing substantial, so everyone repeated it. But it got put to the test in 2014 and proved to not be what people had been saying.

The idea is to be an overlay on your current network that gives you a LAN where one did not exist before.

This here is why I have a Pertino subscription at one client. The sales guy always have access to his stuff. Period.

@thanksajdotcom One small doubt.Can I install the jre package which I downloaded from the internet either installing the steps you have mentioned to download the JDK .

I don't even think you have to install it. Once extracted you just have to add that path to your user PATH. I think AJ explained that in the last thread.

Extracting it is the entire install. We showed him this, that he had successfully installed it on the other thread. He never responded and just kept trying to run apt-get to install a DEB package that we kept telling him didn't exist.

I gave him line by line steps for EXACTLY what to do. I don't mind repeating myself if something isn't fully understood or if someone missed something, but I do not like that he asks a question, ignores the answer, and then just re-asks the same questions.

It may not be empty. Depends on the filesystem and what has happened. Just because the pointers to those files are gone doesn't mean that the bits have been erased. You could zero out the empty space.... but be careful or that will expand the VMDK to full size.

That is what I did, but I knew there was enough space for the entire disk to expand out.

I'm Using a Nokia Lumia 1520. It's great. I can't say the same for Straight Talk Service (on AT&T) I get full bars on both 4G and LTE but, Straight talk is throttling me even though I just bought a new 30 day plan. I'm thinking of switching to AIO/Cricket on AT&T.

@scottalanmiller said:

Well the setup in the article uses the graphical login interface, so no.

Darn. That'd be cool.

I am curious why you are assigning permissions to users rather than groups (or at least it looks that way as the groups are non descriptive).

Also is sba1, sba2 and @sba1 all users or groups?

@thecreativeone91 said:

If I remember right the DL160 is pretty much useless as a normal server. I've seen cheap people use them as that but they are really meant to be used in a high density web farm.

You are thinking of the right one. It's slightly better than the DL140, but only in that it has SCSI instead of ATA drives. It's not meant to be a standard server at all. Lacks all the server hardware and is no more reliable than a nice desktop. Lacks full IPMI and other tooling.

It does? Everytime I've looked in the last few years, it had been removed.

I was going to check again to confirm, but it looks like you cannot even see anything without signing up for a logmein account. Screw that.

Microsoft likes making new names to make things sound cool. Using Office 365 as a code name for subscription licensing is super confusing. But they love doing that.

I setup a C@C FreePBX system 2 weeks ago now.. I'm using Google voice for my SIP trunk, I have a Dev 2 box for it - I think I've invested around $90 in it so far.

I haven't used it very much though so I'm not sure how the long term sound quality will be. I am planning on trying to use this for my home phone replacement though.

I need to pickup this up, http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rja14/shb10/angela2.pdf so I have some portable phones at home. They are a bit pricey... but We'll see how they work. Though I am disappointed I have to use their basestation and that the phones don't connect directly to WIFI.

The direct to WIFI ones are like $300+ each. OUCH!

It's about what I thought - while cool it's not practical to try to drag old tech into the present. While the idea of having 'one' unit with four computer is kind of nice,... it's impractical.

And the power requirements are going to be higher.

After the power costs are considered getting something new from Dell or SuperMicro would actually probably cost less!

Another mention for a good tool.

Update i am using iSpy64 V6.2.9.0 working fine now, but i can only add 4 IP Cameras.
I can access the ip through web browser but if i'm adding it using the "Ip Camera Wizard" it showing that the Camera is disconnecte 😞

@thecreativeone91 I will try your suggestion.
