Contemplating how to leverage 2 ISP's for supplemental bandwidth when needed using 2 separate routers that are both servicing the same LAN.
......So I'm gonna go post a new topic!
Get a DUAL Wan capable firewall, set it up either as Active/Active or Active/Backup.
You'll be banging your head sorting out getting a fault tolerant static IP address, though it can be done.
Working on some SOC 2 collections, while waiting for some warranty coverage on my car to be completed.
Nothing too special
@nadnerB Does NextCloud check all of those boxes?
@EddieJennings said in SUDO - Coming to a Windows Server near you.:
I wonder if it the application will behave the same. Meaning there will be an equivalent to
/etc/sudoers,/etc/sudoers.d/and such.
When was the last time that Microsoft developed useful software? They tend to just (buy/steal) whatever, plop it into their OS and let it languish without any fixes, patches, etc.
I doubt this will be any different, but it is a potentially useful change.
@BraswellJay said in New Building Considerations ...:
Our leadership is discussing possibly building a new facility over the next few years. What would be some things you would take into consideration for a new building design if you could start fresh with a blank slate.
The one's I initially think of are planning networking for WAN, LAN, wireless and phones. Also server, workstation and processing equipment planning. Access control and cameras.
An avoidance of stairs and or safety harnesses to get to the networking/server room.
You never want to have to lug equipment up flights of stairs or use a scissor lift to get to the equipment installation/service location.
Legit issue I had to deal with years ago...
@Obsolesce a 5 day window to try and migrate a bunch of sites isn't unrealistic, but it is a tight timeline to avoid getting billed.
Have you called and spoke with them about the bill and see if they'll do anything to reduce it? Surely they would want to keep a customer vs lose one..
@GUIn00b fun times, I have replacement parts arriving to rebuild a XCP-ng host that has a bad NVMe.
Have to plan a site visit to install them and reinstall the host OS and get it going again and have a laptop to get prepared for an employee pretty soon.

Uh - I am sure that is suppose to be a joke. But it's just a trash can that I didn't mount. Mainly due to just setting one up as a test to see how it will work, and if the battery will last.It is literally a rolling cart with a 500w inverter, battery charger and 40Ah battery with battery gauge. I question if the battery as is will last an 8 hour shift...
Yes it was a joke, I called it a watercooler because of the clingwrap over the top of it (as if it was to keep items/liquid in).
@gjacobse said in Cloud Based Auto-Attendant:
I'm ONLY suggesting this as we are moving all of our sites to it. Scalable, handling routing, extension to Paging adapter and more.
RingCentral
May be an option.
How would I setup an IVR or Auto-Attendant on it? I don't need to it to do anything other than to route calls from the "office number" to a cell phone and maybe have VM to Email (but this is TBD).
@gjacobse said in What Are You Doing Right Now:
I can’t believe the cost of this cart minus the PC and monitor:
And it’s something I think I could build better…
The trashcan water cooler has to be the most expensive item on there!
Tagging a few people that I used to know who did this sort of work.
Hey All I'm looking for a cloud based Auto-Attendant that I can port an office number too, and then setup simple call routing.
For Sales Press 1 ---> forward to a cell phone
For Service Press 2 ---> Forward to a cell phone
etc..
It seems like everyone offers this, yet only as a part of other bundles... and standing up freepbx for something like this seems like overkill...
Voicemail to Email to be a nice to have, since the issue today is that no one is actually checking the voicemail (actually the last time anyone checked their office voicemail was in 2020 from what I can see in the PBX).
Any recommendations? Looking for low cost (lower than the sunk-cost system that is in place at the moment anyways, likely no more than 5 or 6 auto-routes.

Oh, and merry Christmas to us, kid was a passenger in a single vehicle car wreck.
Driver lost control on wet roads. Shaken and stirred but other wise oka.
I'm glad they're okay!
Fighting a cold.... and nothing seems to be really helping...

Nice, where are you working now?
A company out of Buffalo, I'm basically fully remote.
@scottalanmiller Yea I've had to deal with this in the past, the software is just awful to deal with, and literally makes nothing more secure, for either the prosecution, defendant(s) or the public attempting to view the material.
Simple answer is, that it just proves how vulnerable police departments are with such horrible software requirements.
