That's definitely different than other trusted sources lead me to understand.

Check your sources. Are they quoting the laundry list of 2013 (this article was 2014) references to the opposite being true? Looks like there was reason to believe it in 2013, but nothing substantial, so everyone repeated it. But it got put to the test in 2014 and proved to not be what people had been saying.

The idea is to be an overlay on your current network that gives you a LAN where one did not exist before.

This here is why I have a Pertino subscription at one client. The sales guy always have access to his stuff. Period.

@thanksajdotcom One small doubt.Can I install the jre package which I downloaded from the internet either installing the steps you have mentioned to download the JDK .

I don't even think you have to install it. Once extracted you just have to add that path to your user PATH. I think AJ explained that in the last thread.

Extracting it is the entire install. We showed him this, that he had successfully installed it on the other thread. He never responded and just kept trying to run apt-get to install a DEB package that we kept telling him didn't exist.

I gave him line by line steps for EXACTLY what to do. I don't mind repeating myself if something isn't fully understood or if someone missed something, but I do not like that he asks a question, ignores the answer, and then just re-asks the same questions.

It may not be empty. Depends on the filesystem and what has happened. Just because the pointers to those files are gone doesn't mean that the bits have been erased. You could zero out the empty space.... but be careful or that will expand the VMDK to full size.

That is what I did, but I knew there was enough space for the entire disk to expand out.

I'm Using a Nokia Lumia 1520. It's great. I can't say the same for Straight Talk Service (on AT&T) I get full bars on both 4G and LTE but, Straight talk is throttling me even though I just bought a new 30 day plan. I'm thinking of switching to AIO/Cricket on AT&T.

Well the setup in the article uses the graphical login interface, so no.

Darn. That'd be cool.

I am curious why you are assigning permissions to users rather than groups (or at least it looks that way as the groups are non descriptive).

Also is sba1, sba2 and @sba1 all users or groups?

If I remember right the DL160 is pretty much useless as a normal server. I've seen cheap people use them as that but they are really meant to be used in a high density web farm.

You are thinking of the right one. It's slightly better than the DL140, but only in that it has SCSI instead of ATA drives. It's not meant to be a standard server at all. Lacks all the server hardware and is no more reliable than a nice desktop. Lacks full IPMI and other tooling.

It does? Everytime I've looked in the last few years, it had been removed.

I was going to check again to confirm, but it looks like you cannot even see anything without signing up for a logmein account. Screw that.

Microsoft likes making new names to make things sound cool. Using Office 365 as a code name for subscription licensing is super confusing. But they love doing that.

I setup a C@C FreePBX system 2 weeks ago now.. I'm using Google voice for my SIP trunk, I have a Dev 2 box for it - I think I've invested around $90 in it so far.

I haven't used it very much though so I'm not sure how the long term sound quality will be. I am planning on trying to use this for my home phone replacement though.

I need to pickup this up, http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rja14/shb10/angela2.pdf so I have some portable phones at home. They are a bit pricey... but We'll see how they work. Though I am disappointed I have to use their basestation and that the phones don't connect directly to WIFI.

The direct to WIFI ones are like $300+ each. OUCH!

It's about what I thought - while cool it's not practical to try to drag old tech into the present. While the idea of having 'one' unit with four computer is kind of nice,... it's impractical.

And the power requirements are going to be higher.

After the power costs are considered getting something new from Dell or SuperMicro would actually probably cost less!

Another mention for a good tool.

Update i am using iSpy64 V6.2.9.0 working fine now, but i can only add 4 IP Cameras.
I can access the ip through web browser but if i'm adding it using the "Ip Camera Wizard" it showing that the Camera is disconnecte 😞

@thecreativeone91 I will try your suggestion.

Alternatively, they might have some kind of national level disaster mitigation strategy that we know nothing about. It's not our place to judge their business strategies as we are not privy to that information.

Well, it is our place, as it is part of determining how and when you do business or what type of business with the country. Having the government behave as a Comcast, for example, means that datacenters and datacenter service companies avoid the country and go to other countries entirely for services. It means that critical support systems and banking goes to another country because needed redundancy and expertise is not available. If you are in IT, then the infrastructure and decisions of a country are very much something you have to consider.

Remember, Linux is not an OS so the question as to "how" to do this can't be answered unless we know which Linux you are considering.

At least you (or him primarily) didn't say GNU/Linux, I'd have puked all over myself

I can't believe you people, Microsoft works hard for that money and... lol I can't even finish this sentence.

While Apple might be non-competitive, that's a normal and completely legal and acceptable business practice. There is no law nor any standard code of ethics that says that you need to promote your competitor's products. There are good reasons to sometimes do so, but that's very different.

Remember that both Microsoft and Google actually have or have had near monopolies in some sectors while Apple never has.

Definitely upgrade.

I agree with the 635 though - I have one, I really like it even though I'm running beta Windows 10 on it and it has issues.. they are beta issues I live with.

Now I'm waiting on the 640 XL

I have the Lumia 1520. Running 8.1. I like it pretty well. I tried the 920 a couple years ago one 8 and hated it because of some of the issues and lack of apps back then. Now all the appps expect my SSL VPN are there. I tried windows 10 on it. I can't do it. I use windows 10 one my laptop and can live with temprory usability issues but I can't live with the design issues of text being outside of bounding boxes etc that windows 10 preview had on the 1520.

Here are some open source packages:

http://open-audit.org/

Open Audit hasn't been updated in FOREVER (like since 2007), but it was kinda cool in that the inventory submission occurred via HTTP. I was a big advocate of this before I had moved to Spiceworks.

The latest version was released this month https://community.opmantek.com/display/OA/Release+Notes+for+Open-AudIT+v1.6.4

Ah - I gave up on him, but he's been touting version 2.0 since as long as I can remember...
