  @JaredBusch said in How would you build a File server with 170TB of Usable Storage?: @Obsolesce said in How would you build a File server with 170TB of Usable Storage?: Misread. So how much of the 170TB is used immediately and what's the projected growth rate? Not relevant. The concept is that we need 170TB usable. Usable implies available now. You are asking a different question to resolve a different problem. Your own configuration does not provide 170TB usable. You calculated using unformatted capacity, and didn't take into account that even unformatted, a 14TB drive is only a decimal representation used for marketing, which takes another chunk out of the usable capacity

  It's not trying to print a logo which should reside in the flash memory in the printer? The logo is downloaded with some epson utility. Another issue could be that the user entered some unsupported characters in text that goes on the reciept, like the company name, address or somewhere. The printer doesn't recognize it and prints garbage. Best way to trouble shoot issues like this is to capture the serial data that goes to the printer with a laptop or something. That way you can see what is actually sent and figure out where the problem is. You need some connectors and a serial to USB adapter to make it happen. You can capture the data with linux or use some windows utility to do it. Search for serial port sniffer to find some.

  @JaredBusch said in FreePBX / Random loss of audio ...: @BraswellJay what Did you put in the client for SIP server? The FQDN? What does the FQDN resolve as? The internal IP or your public IP? Did not use the FQDN, just the IP address. 192.168.2.248 is the FreePBX server and 201 is the assigned extension.

  @wrx7m said in Wazuh - Agents.Error. globalAgent is null: I didn't get the error when looking at the list of agents today. Looks like the update or reboot of the Wazuh server fixed it. I know this is a necropost, but it's good to mention that mismatched version of manager and agent will almost always cause issues. It is recommended to comment out the repository until you are ready to update agents and manager at the same time.

  @JaredBusch said in Email server options: @scottalanmiller said in Email server options: @JaredBusch said in Email server options: @scottalanmiller said in Email server options: We run in house email on Zimbra How is spam filtering handled? In our case, we use Zimbra's built in components. Not the best, but not bad. It's free, so that's a big factor for us. Was like a 15 minute one time setup and now it just works (so far.) If we wanted, our outbound mail handler (MailGun) will do inbound spam filtering for us for cheap. But we've not gone down that path (yet.) Not the best is likely not good enough for a 120 user organization consisting of zero technical users. Well, not the best has been better than some of the big players

  @PhlipElder said in Raid10, must use or another Raid limits?: Modern RAID controllers have the horsepower and cache RAM that is flash backed to overcome any real parity performance costs. Operationally it would be just fine. It's only recovery time that would be of concern.

  @black3dynamite said in If Not WordPress, What's the Alternative: @scottalanmiller said in If Not WordPress, What's the Alternative: @360col said in If Not WordPress, What's the Alternative: Well if the site is not complex then something like Grav these days is much better IMHO I've been eyeing Grav for a while. It does look very interesting. ANy guesses as to pros and cons vs. WordPress? Beyond the obvious flat file vs database differences... Ever since discovering Wiki.js, I like the idea of using git for versioning backups and deployments. https://github.com/trilbymedia/grav-plugin-git-sync You can automate backups of the MariaDB, though. Not all that much different. Lighter, on big loads. GIT is actually a very heavy process. Great for tiny things, but bad for big ones.

I am too spoiled on how to configure auto updates for Fedora and CentOS. yeah this is actually easier than fedora imo I don't know about that. I've done so many setups now that I script it. # Install dnf-automatic sudo dnf -y install dnf-automatic [email protected] [email protected] EMAILHOST=smtp.domain.com sudo sed -i "s|^email_to = root|email_to = ${EMAILTO}|" /etc/dnf/automatic.conf sudo sed -i 's|^apply_updates = no|apply_updates = yes|' /etc/dnf/automatic.conf sudo sed -i 's|^emit_via = stdio|emit_via = email|' /etc/dnf/automatic.conf sudo sed -i "s|^email_from = [email protected]|email_from = ${EMAILFROM}|" /etc/dnf/automatic.conf # Enable and Start dnf-automatic.timer sudo systemctl enable --now dnf-automatic.timer Are you installing postfix as well? No, but I do have a postfix relay server setup for that purpose. Where do you configure that on the client? Looking over my post, I left out the email_host setting. You will enter the name, domain or IP address of the email host

  @JaredBusch said in Run virt-manager on Windows 10: @scottalanmiller said in Run virt-manager on Windows 10: @travisdh1 said in Run virt-manager on Windows 10: @scottalanmiller I had to do an apt-get update before apt-get would find and install virt-manager. That's true, but you shouldn't be skipping patching regardless. So in theory it should get picked up as a matter of course. Except that this was a brand new instance of WSL. Yep. While apt-get update is something those of use who have been using Debian/Ubuntu know to do automatically, it's a missing step that could trip someone up.

  I got some drives from xByte that did not work in the DELL server. They WORKED, but kept freezing, or rebooting. xByte, of course, were awesome and swapped them out with DELL branded ones. For me, I’ll never put on a lifejacket again. Oh wait, wrong line. I'll never not buy DELL branded stuff for my DELL server.

  And it should be noted, that unlike SMB or NFS shares that would be generally frowned upon to use over the Internet, SFTP is heavily encrypted and very secure and is often used over public networks.

  @zachary715 said in Does Anyone Actually Use Conversation View Intentionally for Email: All of my folders are subfolders of my Inbox, so although my Inbox itself is kept clean, I can easily search my Inbox and it searches the entirety of all subfolders. CV doesn't make this any more or less complicated. Me, too. But every system handles broken up threads like that differently.

  Obviously the paths would change based on where they actually live and since I want this to live outside of an individual user, pointing to the user paths would make no sense in a production case. Also on WSL, if you go into /mnt you can get a list of all of the disks that are mounted on your Workstation/Server. In the case of my workstation I only have the 1 disk, so only c is listed. Severs would likely have other drives.
