That's a lot of money to fix a laptop. How old was it?

It was not old. It was a Latitude E5570 purchased in mid 2016.

I got my USB monitor today in preparation of the remote work, and got my wired/wireless Bluetooth mouse a couple days ago:

We ran into this issue last week with several legacy applications we soon hope to commit to the bone yard...

@StrongBad said in Networking clear up question:

What did they have to say when you explained the difference between a protocol and a physical connector?

Acted like they didn't hear what I said. lol

Probably what they did the last 100 times someone pointed out how clueless they are. Only a trend of burying their heads in the sand would allow them to think that they could state something like that out loud and not sound like idiots.

@JaredBusch said in SQL single instance or multiple:

The SMB almost never needs multiple SQL Server instances. Saying it is for security means that there are jsut bad software developers in the loop that did not write their applicaiotn to use appropriate permissions.

One thing I've been told is people who don't understand multiple instances, want them. Those who do know about them, don't want the hassle.

Generally true. Sometimes you need different versions, and then it can make sense.

@scottalanmiller

But I work for non profit organization ... where cheap means cheap

As Jared points out, if their goal was to provide whatever service that their mandate is, they would not be cheap. Cheap is just another work for wasteful or ineffective.

@coliver said in Digital Phone Lists - Internal WebSite:

What kind of phone system do you have? Why not use something like FOP2? That way the phone list is always up to date. If you're using FreePBX you can write a script to output a phone list nightly.

FOP2 is a great choice for a viewable panel. but it is not a list for quick reference.

I keep 3 tabs open with FOP2 most of the day. 2 clients and our phone system.

Can't believe that this did not get linked post MangoCon but here is the presentation.

I had a ton of false positive hits today from webroot.

@coliver said in Diving into the ISO OSI Network Stack Discussion:

I always assumed iSCSI was at the application layer because it's in the name. iSCSI is literally SCSI commands encapsulated in TCP/IP packets.

Good way to think of it.

Updated the web.config for my ScreenConnect and now all is right in the world.

@JaredBusch said in Marketing Campaign E-mail and Office365 - Check My Logic, Please:

I would need to see the ehaders, but I send email from a postfix relay with a valid return on my Office 365 server to other Office 365 users all the time and nothing is junked.

The only thing I did was to add the WAN IP of the location with the Postfix server as a new connector trusted by IP.

Very similar to what you mention here, I think this is it - https://support.e2ma.net/Resource_Center/Account_how-to/how-to-whitelist-emma.

Not exactly. That is whitelisting entire IP blocks.

MD RAID

People rave about the new features of BTRFS so I thought can I do it for a new production server in 2017, perhaps I thought by now we will have more people tested it.

They sure do. Phoronix over the weekend: Btrfs Getting RAID 5/6 Fixes In Linux 4.12 Kernel

@scottalanmiller said in Mac OS X Writing to NTFS:

So how is a Mac involved here? It seems like you are trying to do a Windows to Windows copy, no Mac in the process?

Correct. It seems that a Mac unzipped the files to the windows server. There was a bug at the time that set the file type bit to something that makes windows think it's encrypted. (thus windows shows it as green and the encrypted check box is checked)

All I'm trying to do now is copy the files from a server that is having issues to a new server.

Where are you running the copy operation from? The new server or the server with issues?

I'd suggest trying to run the copy FROM the server with issues.

He can't, logging in causes the system to crash.

@scottalanmiller

I think I got it working with Ubuntu LTS 16.04.2 currently installing the system will see how it goes, however it does make sense that OS needs to be in-charge of this.

@scottalanmiller - no whining with mine. I do have the first XPS 13 from the 2015 series, which had display problems (had to change it 2 times because of dead pixels you don't notice from the first glance on the 4K display)
But now the only noise I don't like is the Power supply infrasonic when I charge a powerbank through onboard USB. Shouldn't be a big issue since it seems to be only me who hears it anyway.
XPS13 is a great machine for doing everything on the go, the only downside for me is the 4K display with some Windows apps and dual display setups.
