It's an easy fix. Sometimes the directions for the upgrade don't account for the source location of the APT REPO for ProxMox. Check your /etc/apt files and see where your repo is configured. If you are going from Buster to Bullseye for example, make sure that you have this line somewhere and the error should go away...

@scottalanmiller said in Slack? What is it?:

Think XMPP for the modern era

Are there any intra-office apps for this? We have been using Spark on top of Ignite for many years.

Is there anything you like btter?

That's what we replaced with these tools specifically. Slack, Rocket, Mattermost... those seem to be the best for crossing company boundaries. Cliq, Teams, etc. are great for inside a single controlled company, but don't fare well at going between them. Especially not Teams, what a mess that is.

@krzykat said in Management of NAS for SOHO?:

I really like Synology for this. Plus you get extra little benefits like complete backups of workstations, and then you can backup your critical synology folders to any cloud platform you like including another dedicated Synology for backups.

We like to use the built in B2 integration. Really nice.

@mukky said in ZeroTier Site-To-Site:

Bro @dafyre,
You make my life much easier...
Thank you !!

After soo much hassle to achieved opnsense site2site, i found this posting solve the problems with 2 essential modification as follows:

Two essential step:

Enable IP_Forward:
in free BSD we have to edit /etc/defaults/rc.conf
change from gateway_enable="NO" to gateway_enable="YES"

Set up the Site Routes at the Routers for Site A and Site B
it has configured and implemented in opnsense router section

@dafyre, since no body cover this on opnsense, I think it will wonderful, if you could made this video on youtube as well

Good Luck !!

I was struggeling for a month to figure it out, not much info on internet nor tutorial regarding zerotier for site2site. Eventually i succeed to make it work.

The key point to setting on opnsense are:

you have to install zerotier plugin

you have to make your own network on your zerotier account

you have to enable zerotier on your opnsense and adding zerotier connection in it to join your own network.

you have to assign network for zerotier - dont forget to "check" Enable Interface and Prevent interface removal. Also you have to put static ip with is the same ip address as shown on your zerotier joined network.

you have to put firewall rule for zerotier to accept any incoming traffic

you have to put firewall rule for WAN/ISP to accept any incoming traffic from specific source "Ztier.net"

in some cases it requires booting/restart your opnsense to take effect.

setting above will allow any incoming connection from any remote device via zerotier towards your opnsense ip address. (Ref: opnsense ip address = ip address of WAN/ISP). In result, you can remote access your opnsense via laptop from another city / ISP (laptop must have zerotier connection and joint the same network too). On your laptop you will be able to access your opnsense by its ip address assigned by zerotier.

in the case, for example, there is a NAS behind the opnsense that you want to access remotely,....... then you only have to open your zerotier account and put a route rule there

assumed:

your NAS local ip address: 192.168.5.10

NAS local Network on opnsense: LAN-1

your opnsense ip address assigned by Zerotier: 10.188.22.10

then you have to put firewall rule for LAN-1 to accept any incoming traffic from specific source "Ztier.net"

then you have to add "route" on your zerotier account dashboard:

192.168.5.10/32 via 10.188.22.10

in result from remote laptop you can remote access:

a. opnsense by pointing to 10.188.22.10

b. NAS by pointing to 192.168.5.10

(laptop must have zerotier connection and joint the same network too)

Thats it, good luck !

We deployed a full fleet of Canon printers 4 years ago. We're in the last year of our lease.

I would say they are a solid A. What keeps them from an A+ was that on the desktop MFPs the scanner feeder wasn't great at feeding pages for copies/scans in straight all the time.

Thanks, we are up and running again!

@scottalanmiller said in Manage domains and DNS for customers?:

Then you have other issues. Which lots of people do, of course, where you can't let them have admin access to anything as they can't stop handing out their passwords (and yes, we see this all the time, too.)

It's amazing how true this is!

Huh? GitHub has VSCode as well for an editor now.

It does? When I hit edit, it uses the shitty editor. I don't see an option for VSCode?

Found it, "open in github.dev" does it. I never tried that option, but also it's rare I ever edit in the web browser.

Oh I never did that method. I just hit the period button and it opens.

He or his guests doesn't need to type in anything.
Most phones for example support qr codes for ssid & pwd.

There are many sites that can generate the right qr code for him to print out.

For example https://wifiqrcode.com

Hey Pete. I wish I knew you well enough to put you on my Christmas list. That idea was the BOMB! My bad for those who are not hip to that term. It was a great idea.

I also talked him into getting a Unifi Dream Router (UDR). With the UDR you don't need to buy extra gear. It's a 4 in one. It's a router, switch, AP and controller. There's another one called Unifi Dream Machine (UDM). It's a 3 in 1. It's a switch, AP and Controller. Both can create a captive portal / splash screen.

Here's a side by side comparison:

If anyone else has any cool ideas like Pete, please share. I'm open to learning and sharing information.

If anyone is interested, below are setup video of both products.

Unifi:
UDR - Router
UDM - Machine

In the mean time, MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

I got excited and started to re-consider my initial heart attack the other day when I searched up the UDR.. That sheet is old and incorrect. the UDR on Amazon is the same price as the UDM - $400+

I'm already looking to re-engineer my entire network from a ERL and UniFi controller running on Ubuntu ...

@Pete-S said in How to fix RDP dpi awareness problems:

@PhlipElder said in How to fix RDP dpi awareness problems:

@Pete-S We have a few older accounting apps we support that don't scale well in RemoteApp no matter what the client setting is. The menu items appear to be microscopic.

90d87eb7-6122-43bb-8892-390312fb198a-image.png

Great for Session Host desktops but what about RemoteApp?

Windows DPI scaling is not working 100% so it is what it is.

I have on purpose avoided purchasing any display / resolution combination that doesn't fall between 90 to 110 dpi. So I don't really get into much trouble.

Anyway, I don't have any specific experience with remoteapp. But since it uses RDP I would disable the scaling in the registry on the server. And then work on setting the dpi on the server to whatever is needed. There is also the possibility of setting DPI scaling behavior on a per application basis.

That's the route I would go.

DPI settings are normally per user but if you have users with multiple devices with widely different dpi I don't think you can get it right.

Yeah, we learned that lesson with the first batch of ultra-high resolution laptops that we deployed and users started complaining almost immediately. We were able to bandaid to some degree as the Session Host settings would get picked up by the RemoteApps after the user tweaked them and logged out of the SH Desktop but those legacy menus never did get addressed.

Folks need a magnifying glass.

Besides buying new laptops there is also the option of changing the resolution to a non-native resolution.
From 3840x2160 to 1920x1080 for example. That always work.

Not ideal of course but better than not seeing it at all...

@pattonb said in isc-dhcp-server:

Now that isc-dhcp-server is officially eol, what is most/everybody using ?
isc-kea ? or ????

We use the firewalls dhcp server, which happens to use ics dhcp. But in either case there's no point in doing anything at the moment. Making a decision on a replacement is a couple of years away from now.

When distros deprecate the ics-dhcp package then it's time to see what options there are. We use debian and given each release lifecycle that will be a decision for debian 13 (the next, next release) which will probably happen late 2025.

Thanks everyone for the input. I'll check it out when possible.

@krzykat said in Zoho CRM:

@Pete-S That's a commercial module that relies on using their official distro. I use PIAF, and would prefer to find an OSS if available.

I don't think there is one but Zoho CRM has full REST api, webhooks and what not, so it's certainly possible to roll your own integrations in different ways.

There are also a bunch of integrations under Zoho Phonebridge which basically connects all the different Zoho apps to a PBX.

But they are vendor based so while I'm sure many of them are using asterix under the hood, they will probably not work with something else.

AFAIK, Even VNC doesn't work on Wayland yet.

Nor does MeshCentral

Really? Now I need to go try that when I have a minute.

I just confirmed that mine is working on the default Fedora 37 desktop using both Firefox and Chromium.

Wayland with MeshCentral?

You SURE you are on Wayland?

Isn't Wayland the default for Fedora now? I'm using the stock Fedora, so I'm thinking I am.

Double check that. Maybe you updated from something with X.org.

Fresh install. Wiped root before installing (it was way behind, no point in upgrading).

Do you have NVIDIA drivers on the system? Those will revert you back to X.Org

Yep, sure do. Guess it's not wayland then.

You can check with

loginctl

and

'''
loginctl show-session -p Type <sessionid>

loginctl show-session -p Type 2
Type=wayland

Well shoot, are my Nvidia drivers not working? The more I find out, the more things I need to look at/fix.

What do you have it set to use?

I was under the impression that if you install the NVidia drivers, that you would wind up with X11 and not Wayland.

@Danp said in redSling?:

It seems relatively new based on a quick Google search. What made you consider it as a viable "no code" solution? What other options are you considering?

Also airtable is a pretty popular tool. I think that could count as no code.

@krzykat Have not, try it and let us know 😉

We use MicroSIP on Windows. Zoiper and Linphone on other platforms.
