  @StuartJordan said in Web host for my own wedding site...: I agree with Jared on this, Why invent the wheel, plenty of plugins to use with Wordpress. It's not for commercial use and he wants to learn or practice something specific. If this was for a business, I'd concur. But it's not, it is for fun. So doing what he is doing is fine. The extra time or effort are not negatives in this case.

  @Curtis said in Looking for a Shared Web Hosting: @DustinB3403 HostGator, BlueHost, A2, etc. A2 has been solid for me. They have Let's Encrypt built in now also. I don't use HostGator or BlueHost, but I hear their names often.

  So this topic is quite old, but still a decent topic to have. Let use a different business idea, instead of the wedding planner etc that has been discussed. Let's discuss wireless presentation technologies. The goals being "I" need to present wirelessly, and need something that is Operating System agnostic. So I purchase a lot of hardware that cost more than the competition because it's what I can readily find due to fervent marketing. Have I done the job? Sure. Could I have spent a bit more time and trialed the competition and seen if it was better, comparable or worse? Of course. Would it save the business money, maybe or maybe not.

  @scottalanmiller said in Untangle Site to Site VPN Not Connecting: @dbeato said in Untangle Site to Site VPN Not Connecting: @scottalanmiller said in Untangle Site to Site VPN Not Connecting: We DID find last night that one machine had updated to a different version than the other. But the other is months behind but refuses to recognize that an update exists. Untangle claims updates are delayed to reduce server load and there is no option to control versions (basically... this is in no way a business product.) There is always a way to force the updates, I bet this are actual old workstations or servers with Untangle, otherwise they would have been in version 14.1... This is not way configured the same for updates on both devices.. Don't think so, looking at the hardware they looked like store bought Untangle commercial devices. Weird all around, but I understand

  @ysapir said in MDM for 20 iPads?: I can vouch for Jamf and intune. but have you looked at APPLE DEP ? depends on what you need to do but I found that the free DEP offering usually covers what you need and if you work with a channel partner they usually can pre-register the units for you in DEP program so you dont have worry about setup each unit when you get them. Let me know if you ned more info on DEP, JAMF or Intune please. I can help. Thanks very much or the kind offer.

  @Darek-Hamann said in VMWare Shutdown: I shut the VMs down gracefully rather than suspend them. Fortunately, I have not run into issues with pending Windows Updates being installed during this shutdown, although I have heard of such cases and it's something I still have to consider. Yes, that can happen a LOT. The more often you reboot, the lower the chances, but it is a pretty huge risk.

Our departments have their own budget so if they want to print color they can but they figured out fast to be responsible for their own paper. That seems like a bad approach, since any given department could be forced to stop work "because they overran their paper budget". Usually, they use the code and pin to know where they are using color but otherwise default is to allow b&w to print without a code. How does the printer know the difference? Black is a color. . Really? Yes really, how does a printer know the difference between CMYK and a page which is black and white. It's an honest question as I don't know how a Pin to "print in color" would affect this the way you described it. Also to whoever downvoted, not sure why. Okay, there are different types of print black and white, gray scale and color which uses CMYK , usually on MFP devices they have different toners for esch of those colors plus black. When a job is sent to the printer with the color setting on the driver it then uses those toners while black and white only requests the black toner None of the explains what I've asked. How does entering a pin, allow someone to print in color? I've always seen Pin or No Pin for all printing. Nothing I've ever used has offered "pin for color prints only" etc. It can be for both.

  @Skyetel said in VOIP Provider: Skyetel: For clarification - our unpublished rates are not exclusively for Resellers, they're available for anyone who calls in. You just need to give us your last month's invoice or account statement for us to review your pricing. We (you and I) just had a conversation about this and there should be some clarification because this statement led to some of the confusion. A last month's invoice would be the standard practice, but doesn't make sense for everyone. For people like MSPs (non-reseller MSPs, that is) this doesn't work. They should call in and explain that they are a non-reseller who represents the interest of customers, but isn't reselling and won't have phone bills to show. They can get "relationship pricing" too.

  @JaredBusch said in Domain Time off for some members: @Donahue said in Domain Time off for some members: found it. It was the individual time for that ESXi member. It was running on it's own time, neither host time or any NTP. It was off by the 6 minutes. So for some reason, VMWare was syncing this setting with the host's ESXi clock, not the hardware clock, even though the settings disallow that. How do you know the VMware tools was doing the sync?. As I said in my earlier post if windows goes and tries to get the hardware clock no matter what your tool says for heartbeat or times are pretty station it’s going to get the Clock from the host. look at the picture I posted above. It was vmtoolsd.exe that was causing it to jump forward and svchost.exe that was correcting it. I found this under event 4616

  @JaredBusch said in FreePBX Call Forwarding/Transferring: @Curtis said in FreePBX Call Forwarding/Transferring: Can you change the Asterisk Dial Options in a way that isn't system wide? Maybe just allowing it sometimes? That’s something that can be changed per trunk. So if you craft your rules to send those kind of calls out that trunk that would be the only time it applies. I was just thinking along those lines Thanks for your help

  so what we did was 3 step process - put the extension number on first alternative, another on second alternative, edit the call re-routing for the said extension number pointing to the line of 1st and 2nd alternative. we use the current timer but instead of going to VM it goes to the alternatives.

  @NerdyDad said in SaltStack - Viewing output: Disclaimer: I've never implemented or used SaltStack at all. But what I know of it, I would treat it similar to Group Policy. Not really meant to give information back. Just a state and configuration management system. Agreed. I'm not looking to use it for advanced monitoring, only basic disk usage, etc.

That also comes down to how you install. I always, 100% of the time, start from the NetInstall ISO and choose the Minimal option during install. That means there isn't jack shit setup by default. I honestly have no idea what any of the other options install. I wouldn't expect you to auto install updates on Server... What? Why not? I sure would. You'd need a pretty good reason to avoid updates at their most critical spot. Exactly. All my systems have dnf-automatic or yum-crom. All of them.

  @gjacobse said in Fedora: Support for Hauppauge?: Well - unless it's in there some where,.. the Official support page for Hauppauge states that they Support Ubuntu - ... So, It would seemingly be that here is another device I am unable to run under Fedora... Or - Is that true? @scottalanmiller - Is there options for running the WinTV-HVR 950q USB TV Stick in Fedora - or am I looking at either; dual booting going Ubuntu only going back to Windows - Whats wrong with Ubuntu, I rarely see the difference nowadays between Ubuntu and Fedora, both are great. And trust me there are no apps in Fedora that are not In Ubuntu actually it is the opposite
