@Pete-S said in Checksum verification:

Did the piping example I posted above satisfy your switch requirement even though it isn't a switch?

Or maybe you're looking for something else?

Was busy dealing with the firmware update itself.
Yes. That works simply enough. Still annoyed that they don't have a switch..

@Pete-S said in Service provider - monitoring questions:

Thanks guys for your replies!

I had a feeling that monitoring was "underutilized" compared to what is technically possible. But as always, it's the business needs and the effort (cost) that determines the service level.

totally underutilized compared to what is possible. you are 100% spot on with that.

@notverypunny said in FortiGate - Speedtest:

You should be OK with a laptop for these speeds.

A laptop, yes. That's not the point. The issue is something with this particular setup, laptop or whatever, can't get the speeds so testing with it doesn't tell him anything useful.

I've run into issues specifically for laptops where I couldn't get decent speeds, something either with the HW specifically or power-management / network stack wouldn't allow me to get the same speeds as a server / workstation connected to the exact same port / equipment. Regardless, you're correct that this laptop seems to have issues.

Is the package 100MB up and down? Is it a full 100 or a "burstable" setup (not sure how common this one is, but at a former gig we had a line that was provisioned at one speed but would allow temporary surges to another tier before automatically throttling back to the base rate.)

using iperf3
DOWNLOAD SPEEDS

iperf3 -c iperf.he.net -R -P 10

UPLOAD SPEEDS

iperf3 -c iperf.he.net -P 10

You can check a list of public iperf servers :

if you're in another region or if the HE ones are too busy

It really depends. If you don't do software transcoding even hundreds of call on quite low power hardware would be fine (say 2GB ram and 4 CPU cores).

We've found that using a Sangoma E1 card the same hardware would handle the double of the calls, only because Asterisk bases its timing source on the Sangoma hardware instead of using the dummy one.

One test that you can do is to run the command dahdi_test, the values should be not less than 99.996% for a good audio quality, specially for music on hold and conference rooms.

There are some hardware timers that do the same job for a very low price, ie

Ditto.

You need to setup the EC2 instance with a WAN Dynamic IP (Elastic IP address). Then just go through the Internet gateway and have the security group blocking incoming traffic over the Dynamic IP provided to the EC2 instance.

@bnrstnr said in Install MeshCentral2 on Fedora 29 with MongoDB:

Is it possible to migrate from MongoDB to NeDB after we've been running for a while? Easier to just start over?

Probably, but never considered doing that!

I think @Ylian mentioned that is was possible or was going to be possible. in the main thread.. not 100% sure.

Should be, they share a format. I've just never ingested a backup into NeDB before.

Stuck supporting a crappy FreeNAS deployment today. What idiot installed this.

Was it still running or was that the reason you were called?

It was the reason that I was called 😉

@Doyler3000 said in I left Samsung for Huawei:

When my son finds a way to destroy this one I'll definitely be looking at Huawei again, if they're not completely crippled by the Google stuff.

Great feedback. I've been doing some SAMIT videos on YouTube doing analysis of the Google situation. Personally, I think Huawei is going to weather the storm. But it'll be tough.

If anyone can it's them. Interesting piece of human history going on right now. I'm not sure how it will end. Maybe just sanctions being lifted

Also we could achieve hyperconvergence "the other way" (unlike having a global shared filesystem like Gluster or Ceph) but use fine grained replication (per VM/VM disk). That's really interesting (data locality, tiering, thin pro etc.). Obviously, we'll collaborate to see how to integrate this in our stack 🙂

Oh look WP link. Lazy....

I have not dealt with this much, however I have seen sharing groups get their members removed completely.

jees @scottalanmiller can you please just start posting giant fucking walls of text so I can ignore everything you have to say.

Thanks much,

@olivier Definitely worth repeating this old post. Oracle has given back so much more than Amazon.

@FiyaFly said in Github for code storage:

I've been using Bitbucket for private repos, and I didn't run into any issues with them, but man I scoured a year ago trying to find the best alternatives because I didn't want to pay for Github. This is awesome.

Why not GitLab which has always been free, and is totally open source?

It was long enough ago that I would have to review my notes, but I think it had to do with data encryption, and at the time I saw BitBucket had a plugin for that.

If memory serves, that plugin actually didn't work, and I never had the time nor energy to go on another hunt. Was attempting to adhere to data encryption standards here at work because some of my stuff might have identifiable information in it.

Also a lot of things have changed since then, and even with this new advent, I'll still have to review where things stand with requirements, desires, and focus.

Currently I mostly use the private repo for my notes storage on my general tasks. Originally it was a factor of I was just getting into using Git for anything and wanted to ensure I had a backup of my notes somewhere. This was not something
my employer would participate in, and almost certainly my boss would have rejected my request for approval, mostly for arbitrary reasons. Since I certainly have 'sensitive' information in my notes, I wanted to ensure that I stayed properly aligned with any and all compliances that may have applied.

Since then... those aren't details to get into on a post, but suffice it to say I have the most care for those compliances in my department.
