We have started using MicroSIP a bit on Windows. It is in Chocolatey which is handy.

https://chocolatey.org/packages/microsip

Pretty basic.

Very, but seems to work reliably and Chocolatey management is a big deal.

Half a decade later, and the product is still in beta.

wasn't gmail like that?

Probably still is. Have they cancelled that yet?

LOL

You laugh, but it is a real concern!

OH - I know - It's google.... I don't rely on any of their services - not one.

Same here.

Never followed up on this, whoops. We ended up using VyOS for a few years. But the hardware died on us and was too complex to service. It made no sense as it was cheaper to replace with new Ubiquiti hardware than it was to maintain what we already had. So we ended up going with a UBNT ERL and it has been great.

Out of curiosity, is it the one running the NTG lab?

I'm just assuming that you only have it doing routing and that it can do the basics at full line speed.

Yes, that is what is currently running there. We don't do QoS filtering in the lab, so it handles the speeds just fine.

ERL can do near line speed as long as you don’t do something to hit the CPU.

@dbeato @scottalanmiller

https://github.com/mariomaric/website-size

But does it really not download everything? Websites don't report on the size directly AFAIK.

Using --spider, does not download the pages.
Using --no-directories, tells wget to create empty directories.

So it gets it all from "Content Length"? Interesting. Guess that would work.

Laptop comes with an integrated and discrete graphics?

When you are the boot menu, I wonder if that’s the intel and then the other is amd?

Only integrated.

sudo systemctl enable certbot-renewal.timer

As I did this again today, I thought I would post my quick tweak to this because I do not like the idea of it running hourly.

I set mine to run twice a day with a 1 hour randomizer.

[Timer] OnCalendar=*-*-* 01,13:00:00 RandomizedDelaySec=3600 Unit=certbot-renewal.service

@dbeato cURL is really good for on the fly processing. WGET is more focused on getting the whole site down to disk.

Lol, yeah that's pretty intense.

Should you really define a system as brilliant if it doesn't service the needs of the users?

Yes. If they sacked the users and replaced them with new ones then my brilliant systems would save the company a fortune!

And potentially even more if they sacked the users and didn't replace them! Now that really saves the money.

I have only had this happened on the upgrades between versions and OS upgrade.

This happened to us while simply up and running. Middle of the day. Very odd.

Weird

What version?

8.8.10_GA_3716

Hmmm I just upgraded from 8.8.9 to 8.8.11 last week or two weeks ago.

@JaredBusch : Awesome! Glad to hear it worked for you...

Haven't tried either, probably noted them after someone mentioned them here

@travisdh1 said in Am I being to over bearing? Printers:

@Dashrender That's what a dedicated label printer is for. They suck even harder than standard printers, but are so nice once they're working.

OK - So we looked into that option. The departments need 10+ labels at a time. The EHR is unable to send 10 label print requests to the label printer in one click. Instead, the user has to click print 10 times. Management has said - that is unacceptable.

Therefore label printers are out.

Whooah, hold your horses here. There are plenty of label printers that could do that. You may not want to pay the price of a real label printer and you might not know that such a thing exists, but that doesn't change reality.

This is not a hardware issue. This is a EHR software issue. The vendor would need to change their software to do this - could they? likely very easily, but will they? unlikely. They only seem to care about advancing new things, not fixing, improving existing things.

While not related to the SIP function, I don't see any point currently in making a new thread.

if you want to add/change things in ARS (Automatic Route Selection) look here

You'll see places to add your new SIP trunk under > Facility Groups > P1500 (or your own numbering scheme) > Trunk Groups/Nodes
in the right pane, right click and add.

I ask - does saying Linux really matter though? Isn't it much more important to actually list the distro? At least the OP asked specifically Linux Distro.

Which is why I listed the specific distribution and desktop. imo, it should always be linux as it is a generic term. Kind of like Windows, which one?

I read your statement like this "it should always be linux as it is a generic term.

HUH? so which side are you on?

Personally - I think the term linux should be dropped by everyone (well at least by 99.9%) because it's nearly meaningless.

Asking if something runs on linux is meaningless. Asking if something runs on Fedora or Ubuntu has meaning - because you know the actual OS you'll be running them on.

the generic nature of 'linux' is one of the most confounding confusers for laypeople. We should just drop it. it doesn't matter. We never talk about the Windows Kernel, or the Mac OS Kernel - We talk about Windows 10 (OK, we're starting to run into a problem here too because there are 7 versions of Windows 10 - and the same can be said for Mac OS). But if we drop the word linux, people can start talking about Fedora or Ubuntu, etc and suddenly the world becomes a smaller, much more manageable place.

Actually Linux should mean the same as Windows or MacOS anymore as you pointed out.

What specific build is what matters. W10R1510, W10R1809, Fedora, MacOS wtf ever those are called.

No - I disagree - Linux isn't like Windows or MacOS at all - Linux is not an OS - Windows/MacOS are OSes.

If you say, runs on Windows, you can be pretty damned sure it's going to run on Windows 10. if you say it runs on Linux, you have no clue if that's Fedora, Ubuntu, etc. And while we might be able to get it to work, the layperson would never even try with the requires to get onto a linux Distro it's not designed for.

Actually if it says runs on linux, it will run on pretty much all of them.

The developer may only provide binaries or packages for certain specific distros. But if it builds on one, it will build on pretty much all of them.

I gave you that out already - but I also said - normals will never do that. Which is the whole purpose of my comments... it's about normals, laypeople. Not IT pros.

people like me !
Well worse than me I guess.
