A topic in Self Promotion for ITSPs and their geographic area may be helpful to this group.

ITSPs aren't limited by geography.
I know what you're trying to say - you'd like to see someone post where they have remote hands immediately if they are needed without waiting for a flight, etc...

Yes. That seems to be what most of us are missing with national support.

What makes that harder is that the ITSP does the IT work - which essentially never has to be (or should be) local. Remote hands / local work is bench work and you don't want ITSP staff doing that, you want bench techs doing that. This gives you better costs, and better service. Everyone wins.

@syko24 said in FreePBX RingGroup Ring Time issue:

Apparently I've asked a similar question in the past. Guess the answer is to lower the ring time to 27 or 28 seconds.

https://mangolassi.it/topic/18468/ring-time-for-find-me-follow-me-w-call-confirmation/6

Not exactly the same thing. FollowMe is more or less a ring grop, but it is not a ring group.

IMO, you don't want a ring group to include a mobile, it just adds problems.

Have the ring group fail to an extension with FollowMe and let that ring to the mobile.

Agreed

I usually save as PDF in Office or use CutePDF as it works well and small footprint.

@JaredBusch said in Raspberry Pi-based KVM over IP:

I don’t understand how @Dashrender and @DustinB3403 are so dense.

This is a super basic concept that had a purpose before modern RMM tools.

As I said, I had one, not Pi based, in 2008 at a client.

When windows would not boot, they plugged it in to the computer and I had remote KVM. Done. BIOS, safe mode, etc.

What the hell are you on? I definitely see the benefit of these, both before and today (though WAY less so today), so don't lump me in with whatever shit you're flinging today. 🙂

Well CENTOS as an OS or product is dead. So deploying it for any reason makes little sense.

You can get 16 RH vms for free now (placatory) from RHEL now because of CENTOS being killed off.

@Danp My humble homage to Gilda Radner and Roseanne Roseannadanna.

Thanks everyone for the help.

I've been speaking with the client and the app that is consuming excess resources will be removed as it's not a business requirement. This should solve the problem.

Once again, thanks to everyone who contributed.

@AdminEvo I've found the JumpCloud docs (previously - not sure at the moment of this post, same for Synology docs) to be confusing on this front. I had issues with Synology services and JumpCloud LDAP. Turns out you need to bind every user individually (whom you wish to access things via JumpCloud LDAP). I had incorrectly assumed that I could propagate LDAP via enabling the JumpCloud LDAP option for desired JumpCloud User Groups. I would only get listings of users, but no individual logins worked - corrected via manually enabling bind on each user.

Note - ignore the password expired, it's a test account.

I purchased "Learn Python the Hard way". Going through it now and then experimenting.

While a good thing, if you have a working bash script just Google each line “in python”

Declare array in python
For next in python

@Pete-S Nope. Don't sling code. That said, worked with lots of devs providing ops support. The extremely bright genius types that stand out and really had my respect, each technical team leads, were using one of:

VS Code IntelliJ EDEA

And notably, they'd seem to swap back and forth from time to time. At least long enough to trial new features of new releases. Big Company was footing the tooling bill so cost was not a consideration for them. Ymmv.

minfree Defines the amount of free space left in the LVM volume group pve. With more than 128GB storage available the default is 16GB, else hdsize/8 will be used.

This is space to leave behind for snapshots. They suggest 1/8th the size of your hard drive.

Setup the way I show, Windows DNS still gets updated form workstations.

Good to know Windows is doing what it's supposed to do!

Thanks Jared

My wireless radio internet is 60ms, I pre-ordered starlink a couple of weeks ago.

Both CPUs and GPUs are very short in supply right now. At least the CPU prices aren't so insane as the GPU prices right now ($1000US for anything halfway decent).

@scottalanmiller I have tried to connect via virtualbox before but after the windows and linux setups the screen would just turn black so i resorted to qemu and followed your discussion but now it wont connect on ubuntu

This talks about

gpmc.msc is the correct tool to use. (gpedit.msc won't display the security/services items)

I'm building GPOs on the server so I have to use gpmc, gpedit will not build gpos.

That article is good, I've been heading down each rabbit hole it reveals, It may be leading me to the solution.

Thank you for the link. I'll report back with the actual link that worked if I am successful.

I just need the paging system to "ring" when a phone rings.

After much research and testing. I chose: gSyncit v5 https://www.fieldstonsoftware.com/software/gsyncit5

So far I am happy with it. It certainly resolved the sync issues I started having with Companionlink that they could not sort out.
It was the only reason I went looking for another option.

It's too bad they couldn't sort it out, I really liked the Calendar widget in their Android DejaOffice product much better than the native calendar widget.

So, our phones and PCs with any combination of Google Calendar (we don't use gmail) and MS Outlook are all in sync now (once again!)

Time to move to whitelisting instead.

You mean "Allow List " 😉
