We went from HP to OKI and have been happy. OKI B731 is probably what you're looking for. You can have up to 4 trays and they also have large capacity trays (2000 pages).

OKI is still around? Wow! I still think of dot matrix printers.

Yeah, OKI is still going strong. They only do business printers, not home printers, so they are not as big as some of the others. But good quality and value for money. You can still buy their matrix printers actually.

@360col said in RequestTracker:

Also have a look at https://zammad.org/ free / opensource. They also do a paid hosted version.

Wow this looks like it probably checks all my boxes at work, except for knowledgeable, but it sounds like they should be releasing that feature soon.

The concept of organizations is something that seems to be missing from most solutions, but is crucial for us. And chat is a requirement too.

I wish I knew about this before we got on the verge of spending $15,000-$20,000 on another solution.

@Donahue said in What is the right way to install snap on Fedora:

@JaredBusch will you be willing to write up a guide for getting open office working with NC, specifically behind nginx? I can try and fumble through it, but you make things look so easy.

@romo and I have that working. That's how ours works. Romo had to modify the Docker instance because the instance itself is misconfigured for doing this.

@Reid-Cooper said in CrossOver: Run Windows Programs on ChromeOS:

There is a Wine for Android option perhaps. And if your ChromeOS runs Linux apps, Wine might work that way.

Agreed - and I did see that. However, I again run into the issue of the USBtoSerial not working... at least it seems to not work. Might look again over the weekend... oh wait.. I really don't have a weekend between sports events and other crap...

@dafyre said in MeshCentral2 Issue:

What I saw on my Fedora 29/Gnome desktop was that it showed up, but most of the remote features did not work.

that's more of what I would expect.

As discussed in another thread (I think)... that's due to Wayland being used for Gnome.

@Donahue said in How to Migrate NextCloud Data Location:

why would you want to have /data/data? And if you were going to do this on purpose, why not make the link to /data/data instead of just /data? Unless I made a fundamental mistake or misunderstanding (possible), when I tried to follow your directions without the ".", I wound up with an extra /data in the middle of the path when then should not have been one.

I treat the top level /data as a universal. Every system that I use with broken out storage uses /data. Then whatever folders are needed are under that. That both the top level from me "/data" and the folder from the vendor "data" are similar is a happenstance overlap. I used both to keep a standarad.

I see. It just seemed redundant.

Beyond standardization, it also has the benefit of allowing the mount point to go elsewhere and still appear as expected.

Keep in mind that there is no need for it to be /data/data, either one can be renamed anything that you want. You could make the mount be /phymount2 or you could make the second one into /data/ncstuff or whatever you want.

Because you are linking to the second level, the name to which you link need not be the same as what you call the link itself.

10 day old bug report on this.

Surprised none were sooner since I had the same problem back in November.

@dbeato said in Pi-hole vs. Full Web Filter:

For me Pi-Hole has been sufficient as I did not have the hardware to run Untangle or Sophos Home, while I can run Pi-hole on 10 GB of Storage and 1 GB of RAM.

I feel like mine is on even less.

Yeah you can easily use it with 512 MB RAM.

I bet 380MB would do okay.

Now, we are getting reports from many of our own users that things are getting resolved.

However, not from the person who opened the ticket to us yet, so even our ticket for the issue (and this thread) are "open". There is more tracking in both our tickets and in ML of MS' failures than MS tracks themselves. Doesn't that alone tell us how much MS is trying to falsify the data by closing early before there is a resolution?

When they report on this in the media, they will used those closed tickets as "evidence" of the issue having been resolved earlier than it really is.

@JokkeM said in Move dns hosting to Cloudflare?:

@JaredBusch

You have public DNS servers that are the authoritative source for your domains? - Yes
These servers are in our datacenter and they have like ~300 zones

By doing the "move dns hosting to CF" i would get rid of those 3 servers totally.

Do this today. I would hate to have to run public, authoritative DNS servers.
Just for DNS, I cannot imagine how CloudFlare would not be cheaper than running this yourself. Unless you are doing more than just DNS, CloudFlare is free.

They have a great API for managing things at scale.

I'm thinking the same thing - in fact, unless you've been running these servers since the mid 90's I can't see any reason why you could do that. Most registrars offered the DNS hosting as part of the cost of the domain registration. Sure they might not have had simple APIs for managing them... but damn, self hosted just seems - odd.

It actually simplifies some things (and makes others harder.) It's not common and there are good reasons to not do it, but there are good reasons to want it, too.

@JaredBusch THANKS!

@pchiodo said in Server license or VDI (or possibly desktop with Desktop Windows OS)?:

Probably do not need a server license. Most of these type of apps can be run in Client/Server mode on a desktop so I think you would be fine. Bigger question is how many people are going to use the app? Just one? then a desktop or a VDI would be fine. If there is more than 5 accessing then I would move to a 3 tier with a VM using Windows Server.

The number of users is actually irrelevant. What matters is the number of concurrent connections and the type of content being hosted.

This would fall outside of what MS has allowed in the Desktop licensing.

Depends on the mode... number via SMB, doesn't matter. Number by RDP matters.

@stacksofplates said in Grub Entries cleanup and maintenance:

@travisdh1 said in Grub Entries cleanup and maintenance:

@DustinB3403 You never touch grub yourself. You let the system take care of it for you when it adds or removes kernels.

As to removing old kernels, it depends on the distribution you use. A good distro just takes care of this for you. The annoying ones make you do it manually.

RedHat/CentOS/Fedora = automatically cleans up older kernels. You don't do anything and it will keep a sane number by default. I think it's 4 and a recovery option.

Debian/Ubuntu = keeps all kernels till you manually remove them. I forget offhand what the command is besides it's an option for apt.

This is one reason I'm happily moving things from the old rental box to my new server for my home lab. The old rental box has Ubuntu with a tiny little 256MB /boot partition. It can keep ~3 kernels, and that's it, ugh!

You can install without /boot. IIRC there is a other config change with unattended-upgrades to auto remove kernels.

You normally can, yes. Since my current home lab box is a rental, I could only choose from the options they gave me at the time. Today, they'd let you use your own iso, but still wouldn't recommend them for anything other than a test lab.

So to update this, searches do not seem to work in shared folders, but they will work in group folders which is an optional app. I also had to setup the backup job in NC to be a cron job and not an ajax job, and add it to the crontab for the apache user.

crontab -u apache -e

I couldn't get the fulltextsearch:live to work properly, so I added fulltextsearch:index to the cron job too.

*/15 * * * * php -f /var/www/html/nextcloud/cron.php */15 * * * * php -f /var/www/html/nextcloud/occ fulltextsearch:index

So you downloaded a git repo, then built the project, and are you running the compiled build from that location?

@JaredBusch said in FreePBX - forward the main phone number when desired:

lol nice.

@NerdyDad

You can use Loopback Processing also.

https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/askds/2013/02/08/circle-back-to-loopback/

The FreePBX wiki article had a few optional settings that can be used with either version of the Trunk PEER Details I showed above.

qualifyfreqok=25000 transfer=no trunk=yes

The default qualifyfreqok is 60000. This just makes it qualify more often. This is usually less important on a trunk than an endpoint that uses IAX2.
If you are setting up an IAX2 trunk, you already have tested your internet connection and know it is stable. If not, call me.. I'm more than happy to consult...

The transfer=no is the same as the SIP allow reinvite that hands off a SIP call letting the endpoints not pass the call through the PBX any longer. Not applicable to an interoffice trunk.

The trunk=yes will shave a few Kbps off of each call after the first going over the trunk as it reduces IP header information. You can read all the gory details here. Basically it is not enough to worry about.

@Jason said in One way audio on an IAX2 trunk:

Also did you add the network for the remote site in asterisk?

Found this topic again after checking the IAX2 tag.

Thought I would update with the answer.

This was the problem
