Very nice.

@IRJ said in NOTICE: Changes pending for Pertino Web Console:

Sounds like the free option may be going away.

It's gone off their website and has been gone for ages. Along with most of the original team.

Grandfathered users might still have it.

@scottalanmiller Yeah I noticed that after I posted, just didnt care to update.

@DustinB3403 said in A Public Post Mortem of An Outage:

Wow, that is a rather long time.

Yup, parts were very hard to get and getting the server physically moved before diagnostics could begin ate huge amounts of time up. Cost of speeding things up would have been huge - replacing gear instead of repairing it. But since the vendor could not diagnose the issue with the hardware (their error messages were ones that they did not have documented) it complicated things greatly.

@aaronstuder said in FreePBX - Paging Pro - Scheduler:

I have tested, and if I dial 91 it does play a single buzz

Irregardless of all other issues, why in the hell would you pick 91 for the paging code?

Do you like to incur 911 fines for accidental calls?

Not to mention 9 is usually for breaking out to the PSTN and 1 is the US country code

I very specifically force my users to simply 10 digit dial on any new phone systems.

Makes the backend routing easier.

if NXXNXXXXXX then prepend a 1 and send it out the trunk.

I also got rid of the concept of hitting 8 or 9 for an outside line.

@BBigford said in Installing FreeNAS 9.3 on Scale HC3:

When you say "in a business capacity"... Do you mean any business or just certain sizes? What is the reasoning? I know you think the FreeNAS community can be very brash/vile at times based on some of your earlier posts to people asking about FN.

Basically you are getting a highly stateful system where support is critical but in a crippled manner compared to just using FreeBSD. You are getting something easy to set up but difficult to support. If anything goes wrong you are in very tough shape. And updates come a bit behind. So you have a number of small issues that all add up to a not very business friendly product.

I was playing a little bit with LOGG.LY today and I think I fried my brain.

I'm trying to get my logs off my XS USB boot device see it doesn't get its brain fried.

I'll be watching this ELK discussion to see how everyone does.

Something like this, or via PowerShell...

@scottalanmiller said in Installing ownCloud 9.0.1:

I'm beginning to worry that there isn't a working ownCloud 9.0.x install right now. Stangely, ownCloud has been totally silent here today.

I'm coming to the same conclusion. I found even more oddness.

Even tho the config.php file says to use sqlite3, mysql is showing something different. Fired up mysql (MariaDB 5.5.47), and I'm looking at this:

MariaDB [(none)]> SELECT User,Host FROM mysql.user;

And really poor security on those oc_admin accounts that got created:

MariaDB [(none)]> SHOW GRANTS FOR oc_admin1;

Finally, list of all the tables in the database:

MariaDB [owncloud]> select table_name from information_schema.tables where table_schema='owncloud';

I'd like to know what got created. I have not tested mine upgraded install yet ofr anoything beyond "it's working" status.

zroot is #1 reason to love ZFS !!

Welp, rebooting the host that the VM resided on did not clear up any disk space. Hmmm...

@Dashrender said in KVM Backups:

You're right.. I have to keep reminding myself of that. But SMB's don't want to be chasing down dozens of little pieces all over the place to make these pieces work.

It's one thing or a larger company to have a team who's job it is to do just that - Scott's been talking about using Xen for decade plus. I have to assume that Scott the one man who is equal to nearly 10 normal mortals, has managed to collect and put together all of those parts.

The simplicity of XS and XO are what really give Xen any teeth in the SMB market, a la Windows style, everything in one place.

The bad thing about these groupings though, as we found out with the use of VHDs in XS, are the limitations those packages place upon us.

This is exactly correct. They want some hardware on-site (if they can't move to public cloud for some good reason) and they want somebody who owns the hardware also babysit it. Playing LEGO game with hardware and software isn't what most of the people can do EASILY (and one of the proves I'm right is why products like vRanger and AppAss still exist).

@Dashrender said in Is Mangocon still happening?:

@Minion-Queen said in Is Mangocon still happening?:

I am working on that (yes I know @Dashrender I have been). But hope to get it done this week.

Boss just won't approve it without documentation of value.. and the only way I can go is if I use my training time, otherwise out of vaca.

Ditto, and I love all you crazy people but MangoCon is firmly in the "work" not "vacation" category.

I've used Sumatra PDF in the past to print in batch. Looking at the command line options, it appears to support printing a single page.

I've used this one a lot.

We have all Ricoh/Gestetner/Lanier MFPs. I love them They are rock solid. we paid $2500 for the printer, a table top model that's rated at 20K/month, but if you do more than 8K the local support vendor says you're taxing the machine and recommends an upgrade.

We have monthly maintenance on the units which includes the cost of tone/parts/labor at something like $0.015/page I think was have most of them at a min of around 2000/pages a month. Anything over 2000 pages is just billed at the above rate, but it's a flat rate of $30/month.

With a unit we has installed last Aug, we've already had the fuser replaced twice under maintenance, no extra costs.

no idea on your question, but i never thought to use this feature.

going to be setting this up.

We are very happy to see these. Nearly 11K Read IOPS, that's awesome.
