    Curious

    Here is the issue:

    Pithos running for Pandora - Audio Output fine.

    Plug in SignaLink usb soundcard for decoding signals on HF - and the audio settings change. Pithos tries to route audio to it.

    Due to this change - the computer can't key the radio correctly.

    If Pithos is running, and the Singlalink is connected, changing the volume will key cycle the radio (transmit/receive/transmit) which is not healthy on the radio.

    I've had less than stellar experiences with HP's laptops. There are always little niggling issues. Our most recent (and likely last) set of them had significant issues with USB C docks that worked flawlessly on equivalent generation Dells.

    As for MacBook Pros, they make up about 90% of our machines. And I really, really dislike them. The more that Apple does to lock them down, the harder they are to work with. Then you add in the issues that are still extant with docking solutions (slowly being solved a year after release). The '16/17 MBPs are not the same build quality as the '12-14s. Not even close.

    We are buying Dells almost exclusively for our Windows needs. I really like the XPS line for power, portability, and battery life.

    Quantify your concern. What exactly are you worried will happen?

    For the direct-dialing concern, I'm ashamed to admit that I didn't think my concern through fully. I suppose the worst that can happen is a department would be annoyed by potential crank calling their queue directly rather than waiting through the IVR options. But then again, they can simply memorize which single digit to press, and achieve the same thing.

    If someone can dial you, they can dial you. Imagine this same discussion about email. "We have to hide our email DLs and aliases, what if people EMAILED us?!?!?"

    Um... yeah, that's the idea.

    Point taken.

    @scottalanmiller said in Another Gov't Breach:

    When you hire the lowest bidder in a market segment with no pride in their work, the number of resources isn't really a factor.

    im just trying to understand from my experience with this. Money is thrown at things, not people. Very expensive things are purchased and sometimes never used and just sit there. But they can't "afford" to pay for real talent.

    That's what I meant with unlimited resources. Again only in my experience, the money is thrown in the most incorrect place possible.

    I'm seeing this all the time, everywhere right now.

    Solved seem was related to npm app I installed but didnt understand what it will do, its called forever and you can , it was duplicating the NodeBB service.

    I removed it and rebooted the server and the npm log seems correct:

    [deprecated] `String.prototype.rtrim` is deprecated as of NodeBB v1.5; use `utils.rtrim` instead. 5/9 00:15:31 [1294] - info: [socket.io] Restricting access to origin: http://192.168.1.39: 5/9 00:15:31 [1294] - warn: [plugins/load] The following plugins may not be compatible with your version of NodeBB.

    You'll likely spend more in time trying to figure something out than just buying a Ubiquiti AP and turning it down.

    AP: "Hi, I'm your new Ubiquiti, how can we hook up your network today?"
    Me: "Oh sorry, we've decided to go in another direction."

    The other option is x2go, which is based on the NX protocol. It's been long enough since I last used it, I can't remember if it did what you want. But I am pretty sure that it will do it.

    I just re-OS'ed my rPi3 yesterday.. so I haven't had much time to do much with it, but load some of the software I use.

    @tim_g said in UrBackup vs Veeam:

    I don't think urbackup supports hyperv vss for backing up VMs without downtime. You will need to back up VMs from inside them, as if they are a physical server.

    So if you want to back up VMs at the host level, which is a major benefit of virtualization, then you are stuck using a non open source backup solution. If you want free, then you will just have to use the built in Windows Server Backup or hope you are within the limits of the free stuff like Unitrends.

    If you have the time to figure out how to get AMANDA to use hyperv vss for example, do share!

    Right, it's simple agent only.

    @syko24 said in Office365 spam:

    ms have in common is that the sender/reply-to address is from a domain that is also using Office365 for email. I assume what is happening is the domain sending the emails is someone who fell for the scam and now their email account is being used to send spam to other Office365 accounts because they are unlikely to be marked as spam.

    I have users that receive emails from Office 365 senders and they are not in office 365 which means is an Spam problem and not an Office 365 problem. Even if you host emails in Office 365 you should either adjust your Spam Filtering or use an external Spam Filtering.

    So writing this to raise awareness, cause newer ESXI 6.5 update 1 refuses the old C# VMware Vsphere client.
    Thanks.

    Yeah, the Vsphere Client was removed on version 6.5 even for Windows as well. The OVF Tool is what has been recommended to export and import...
