Almost certainly it is limited to certain hardware instances.

Google Management Console

Are you referring to https://chrome.google.com/remotedesktop
?

No, that's just a desktop remoting system. We're talking about a management platform. More like MDM. Not remote assistance.

This is why you don't use pre-made cables.

What does it cost to have fiber terminated? $150/hr? Since this is in the mountains, I'm guessing the nearest city is 1.5 hours away, so drive time on top of that. I'm just guessing at the labor since I haven't ever had it quoted.

Right, so if oyu are confident that premade will pull in quantiy, then by all means go with it.

The good thing about fiber, is that it doesn't matter if you coil up the left over.

BookStack is now supported on LXQ for easy deployment

@scottalanmiller I wasn't referring to sleep mode. Windows use to have varying degrees of shutdown, I'm pretty sure it still does.

@Obsolesce Thanks! 🙂

@Obsolesce said in Can You Resell Without Being Influenced:

I hate this so much... mostly because I have no say in things between the reseller and my boss when it has to do with products or services I'm not much involved in, but still effected by it. By the time my opinion on said product or service is asked for, the decision has pretty much already been made and discussed.

which makes them the head of IT - just remind them of that.

Yup, refer to them as the CIO, or the "IT lead", or whatever descriptive title hits home that they are responsible for the IT decisions and failures.

@wrx7m There are a lot of models which should fit your needs. You can find more information on this page: https://www.starwindsoftware.com/starwind-hyperconverged-appliance .
Also, you can request a demo on that page to see how HA works in real life - it's free :smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes:

@scottalanmiller Do you know where the snap version of mongodb is installed? I can't find it.

Under /var/lib/snapd/snap/rocketchat-server/current/bin/

But what you want to do I assume is use Compass and just attach to it remotely. It's on port 27017 as usual.

@Emad-R

Didn't know it wasn't included in there. But I didn't check either.

Just wondering, why not QXL video in your case?

@Dashrender said in Thicket files in Windows - how are they "linked"?:

I recall seeing this ages ago. It happened when I would save a website onto my computer. I found that the directory had copies of the images (and perhaps other files) that the HTM file referenced.

@Pete-S
Indeed this has been true since at least Windows 98 when IE had the feature (maybe still does) "Read web page offline" and also as a part of the Save... feature, and other browsers copied that same implementation when saving the assets. In the end it doesn't matter where it came from, how it was created, etc nor whether 9x or NT. If there's a .htm(l) file and a directory with _files in the name they are treated as linked in Explorer, but not in CMD (IIRC).

Thanks. I made the same observation - that it is the name that link the directory and file together and it is only in Explorer it is treated as a link.

@scottalanmiller the issue with nslookup being useless is stupid though.

Agreed, that's really messed up.

I have a standard Dell USB dock but want to use it with a Fedora 29 user.

https://github.com/displaylink-rpm/displaylink-rpm

That repo has a pull request in for the Fedora 29 updates, but I figured I could build it early for testing. Also I want to get more familiar with doing this on Linux in general.

I have no *devel bits installed on my system. Obviously, I can clone it down and run make, but I wonder if I need any other resources?

Inside the "ci" folder there is a script to let fedora downlad everything and compile via makefile

That did it.

@wrx7m said in Zerotier issues this morning?:

My understanding is that once connected, ZT's service doesn't have any impact on the connection. It only brokers(?) the connection.

That's my understanding. But if the brokering goes down, I imagine that problems crop up pretty quickly.

Yes because it has to check in fairly often. Otherwise you could have terminated users still with access.

@DustinB3403 said in How can I backup an Azure SQL database to Backblaze B2:

@matteo-nunziati That's pretty bad design if there is no automated way to backup to a remote blob provider or to push said backups to said outside provider. . .

That $399 is sounding incredibly reasonable now.

A main goal of any cloud service from major vendors is to lock in. Try to access a backup in GCP to export data: you can't.
I'm digging a bit to understand if the SQL backup in azure is accessible or managed by any infrastructure account which prevents users to access them directly...

BWT, 399 lifetime is good.

Also, the difference in requirements between streaming external vs internal might be wildly different

Choosing .NET Core or .NET Framework depends on your need.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/choosing-core-framework-server

Summary.... .NET Core when you are a competent developer. .NET Framework when you are using legacy crap that you can't get away from.

They make it pretty clear which is first class and which is a crippled fallback.
