A full day is a lot to not be able to log in. They need a workaround to that email dependency.

Oh yeah, Although I was able to login and work on my lab cloud helpdesk. But yeah email dependcy is not the best. Let me see what I can auggest.

The techs didn't notice, because on the tech side, email isn't used. Only end users could not submit tickets in any fashion, but they didn't know that they couldn't submit tickets.

Yeah, that’s true.

Apparently a lot of “people” like it.

I assume you are referring to the illuminati lizard's controlling everything? This is the first time I've been inconvenienced by not having emoji's ever

Specifically, not IT professionals.

I have one in the field. I will never, ever, buy another one.

@zachary715 Ok thanks. We are using Exchange on site.

@romo said in Errors in outbound calls in one extension - Freepbx:

This would be an inbound call right?

You have a bad inbound route setup (you have ports forwarded and no catchall any/any route) or you allow SIP guests.
This is a call terminating on your system but to with a DID you do not own.

This is a probe.

I've only had that issue when using it on KVM. On my Mac using Virtualbox is works.

I've not had it happen before.

If this is what you are using, no. There is not really a better solution than to call in.

@travisdh1 said in How secure are databases in general?:

They are vulnerable, but mostly because applications use a single authenticated user to access a given database. So most of the vulnerabilities are in the web pages and/or applications using a database.

That's application security, not related to the database. Same risk would exist with no database.

@dafyre said in Centos AND Ubuntu Package Mirrors Down:

I disable IPv6 as a matter of defaults on my home network... I'd like to do it at work too, but I never have any issues like that there.

Mee neither. It was weird thing I rebooted everything from the router side and it got fixed, so disregard.

@fuznutz04 said in Vultr, Windows & Data center licensing:

@scottalanmiller Right. So being legit in this scenario, would be so cost prohibitive, it's not possible realistically.

Exactly. It's not technically impossible, as long as Vultr would tell you the number of physical servers within the datacenter you are in and/or the number that are in a pool that your workload could be moved to, which might be any within the datacenter, or might be a subset.

Same applies to AWS and Azure I assume correct @scottalanmiller ?

Correct, any cloud.

@wirestyle22 said in NextCloud Check In and Check Out:

I thought there was a collaboration app that handled this but I can't find it

A collaboration app can't do this. At best it can do it for a specific case, but not the general one. There is no collaboration product for any platform that can do that.

Just tested again with a F28 minimal netinstall.

Sadly, it doesn't seem to be working.

Getting an error starting services.

@wirestyle22 said in What are you using to track daily tasks?:

@dafyre I don't personally find e-mail to be great for tasks.

Post edited. Better? 🙂

I generally don't email to be great for tasks, but Outlook does a decent job of integrating the two.

@stacksofplates That's great point. Maybe I'll do the same.

I subscribe to their daily email blast. I get all sorts of emails about vulns in Industrial software, foreign malware campaigns, etc.

Am I misunderstanding something?

Yes. This is the script reading the clipboard into a variable.

Oh I see now, that's pretty neat.

@obsolesce said in Fedora 28 KVM Cockpit Doesn't Show All VMs:

Everyone is always waiting for someone else to report bugs and issues, that's why they take so long to get fixed. Not as bad with FOSS, but a big reason with MS for example.

But I don't know that it is a bug. It's reasonable that it might be, but it's just one possibility.

You won't.

@romo said in EdgeRouter L2TP VPN can't pass IKE phase 1:

A DNAT rule was the culprit of everything, it was redirecting the traffic and not letting it reach WAN_LOCAL.

FINALLY SOLVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As reminder for anyone that could encounter a similar issue:
DNAT rules are evaluated before firewall rules.

Yes, this is a known function of VyOS/EdgeOS. But nothing was ever posted baout DNAT rules in use, so I assumed there were none. There are not by default.

Does your buddy have support from the Resolume people? That would be where I'd start as there are a lot of pieces to this that could be wrong.

What kind of firewall and switches are you running?

One option: if you're switches have stacking, then you can put them in a single stack and then create a port group that spans the two switches and then connect that to your NIC teams on the other end. This guards against switch failure, switchport failure, server NIC port failure, Ethernet cable failure, etc..

This adds a level of complexity that you don't have to deal with when using a simple team. But the plus side is higher bandwidth per connected server.

The "switch independant team" what bonding mode is that in linux? Is it mode 1, active/backup policy?

You will have to look at your individual network card's drivers and management software with regards to Linux. AKA, read the manual. My guess is that you're running Broadcom NICs and the management software that I've seen/used is called "Broadcom Advanced Control Suite 4" and the "switch independent mode" or team type is called, "Smart Load Balancing and Failover (SLB)".

I'm all Intel on the NIC side in this case as Supermicro is predominately intel NICs and they are very well supported both in freebsd and linux.

Contrary to Windows, linux actually have bonding of different types in the kernel (a module called bonding). So the drivers don't have to do bonding.

oh nice. I have no idea. I haven't done much with Linux lately. Still, I would read the NIC documentation as it pertains to Linux.

Looking at Dell switches it seems like Dell N1124 will do the job. It's 24x1G switch with 4x10G for uplinks and stacking and has most of the features of it's bigger brothers in the N2000, N3000 series.
Pricing looks very attractive where I'm at (<$400 USD per switch), otherwise it's $1259 in the dell.com store.
I've never used Dell switches though.
