@bnrstnr said in Weekend Plans: @RojoLoco said in Weekend Plans: Plotting the weekend assault on the mountains around Asheville... Friday - breweries and concert, Saturday - coffee and pastries, then hiking to various waterfalls plus driving the Blue Ridge Parkway, Sunday - taking the scenic route home through the mountains. I love Asheville (and the whole surrounding area). We'll be in there in a couple weeks. My grandparents live just outside of town. Enjoy! I lived there about 4 years when I was a younger man, loved it.

I thought so, but I can't find his account.

@dustinb3403 Sure, let me just get some rainbow unicorn farts sent their way and everything will be good.....

FCC “consumer advisory” panel includes ALEC, big foe of municipal broadband A committee that advises the Federal Communications Commission on consumer-related matters now includes a representative of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), which lobbies against municipal broadband, net neutrality, and other consumer protection measures.

@BRRABill it's been a full year since hte last follow up on this thread. How about an update after another year of use?

Now that taxes are done and filed, I need to clean off the table and get it back in storage.

@denis_mcgee said in Home business ideas for transition out of 9-5?: Of course, it is better to choose an area, in which there are constant orders or customers who are looking for specialists to support existing projects. But specifically in the same web development, there is quite a strong competition, especially for beginners. It's a developer's market. Companies can't find qualified people, it's hard to even get people to interview.

@Scott said in Comparing MeshCentral 2 to ScreenConnect: When connected to a Windows or Linux computer (have not tried on Mac) and the machine's public IP address changes I can no longer connect to desktop, terminal, files, etc. however the machine still shows up on MC as powered on, so there is some connection, yes? How do we handle this if a remote machine has its IP address change? Such as a laptop going to a different location, or in my testing, changing address with a VPN. MeshCentral should be getting that information from the meshagent. On my Linux system, meshagent is set to always restart every 3 seconds or at least I think what it means.

IT is always the last to know.

Well... plug-in downloaded source, compiled, installed and activated. In "Setting/Plugins" I can see now the "backup-reports" and "transport-email" plugins. I made some simple test with "Backup Jobs" and all seems ok. Thanks guys.

@Dashrender said in Domain Controller Down (VM): perhaps the discussion of HA should always be left at the door unless the OP specifically says something to the effect of - this was supposed to be an HA solution, why is it not - Perhaps. Often someone says something that leads us to believe that there might have been a reason for HA. But this is a case where just nothing suggests it. Not even the lack of panic or concern once things were down. They really seemed to have no care that things were down - which is fine, their design suggests that. In this case, with @wirestyle22 not having been there, he too would have to decide how the system should be viewed. But he needs the information to take back to management "Oh, you thought that this would be HA? THat's odd as it is designed exactly the opposite of that in every way and all of the policies and procedures go against that as well. How were you expecting HA without HA processes, staffing, technology, design or setup? What led you to believe something so contrary would achieve HA?"

@dafyre said in What Are You Currently Reading Outside of Tech: Reading "Five Nights at Freddy's: The Silver Eyes" with my kid, lol. We're now about 3/4 the way through the book. It's a decent book so far. Don't tell my kid, but I'm going to read it again after we finish, lol.

@guyinpv said in Finally leaving my job, and it's just as annoying as I thought it would be: Happy to report my last day is next week! I did set them up on a small retainer to help answer any email questions the new guy has. But I put lots of stipulations in the agreement. Cancel any time at will, only X type of stuff will be done, no expectations or promises about turnaround time or response time, etc etc. Just a small token for maintaining email contact essentially. f they need me after that, they will pay contract rates. Congrats!
