I spent the holidays with my brother, his girlfriend and my fiance`. My brother (Josh) lives in Brooklyn and has become essentially a judgmental vegan smoker which I've experienced a lot of any time I go visit him--people who do hard drugs but won't eat bread. While we were at my Grandma's I told her to turn on some music I thought she'd like and she did in fact enjoy it. Now Josh and his girlfriend unleash their inner Brooklyn and just destroy this music that everyone was enjoying. I was triggered by this situation which came to fruition apparently today.

Is it just me or did everyone forget that they like liking things? I have heard nothing but judgment about music, movies, TV shows, hobbies etc for so long it's almost normal to me now but it shouldn't be. In my opinion people who behave this way are attempting to be special or out of the ordinary and in reality they are exactly like everyone else around them. If you really want to standout nowadays you'll shop at the gap and listen to Dave Matthews Band.

It kind of reminds me of high school. I was friends with pretty much everyone but the coolest kids to me were the outcasts. I didn't realize until later that the reason I thought that was because they didn't give a shit about what the other kids thought and they were just being whoever it was that they were at the time. This is part of the reason I feel like I can't relate to people anymore because everyone my age acts like a complete idiot.

Can anyone relate to this or is it just me?

Ugh... hipsters.

It's not even just hipsters though it's people who have adopted their judgmental mindset too. Seems like everyone my age in NJ is like this practically. I can't stand it.

You're right. Getting into a sort of recursive logic, I've had this conversation quite a few times, what seems to have happened is that people were so constantly and consistently told it was cool to be different, that they took this as "Don't like something that someone else does" and it shows in their criticism. So they try to anti-conform to things, and what makes it funny is that this is now the standard thing to conform to- anti-conformity.

Basically they defeated their purpose by making that their purpose. But, this is just my theory based on my experience with it.

The "correct" thing to do is very eloquently summed up in the title of a 1990 song by Digital Underground: "Doowutchyalike".

Eww. You like Digital Underground? They suck! LOL

Couldn't resist.

I was referring more to the philosophy behind that song than their musical merit.

I could get into a very extensive psychological discussion on that philosophy. lol.

Seems like decent hardware. I'd try to bump up the RAM if you plan on doing much more with it.

Sweet. The hardware I'm using is literally my old PC from 2011.

I was thinking about this this morning. Like cosplay and comic cons. It used to be for nerds or whatever. Now it is the most mainstream conformist activity in the known universe. It's the very definition of "following the crowd".

Yep. They adopt the idea of "defying societal norms" because everyone else was doing it... making it a societal norm. lol

@scottalanmiller

For sure, and I am definately going to take SUMINDEXING to our developer.

So that would explain the 45-60 minutes jump (since we got the 3 hours back down to 60 minutes)

But the fact that it jumped from 60 minutes to 120 minutes is ENTIRELY on me since my previous version still runs in 60 minutes.

I hate to sound ignorant, as I don't know much of anything about Jet Reports, and I'm basing just off the information I've gleaned from this discussion, their website, and my knowledge of excel (which seems to be massively greater than I think I'd like to admit. Dark Days of "Doing Everything With Nothing"... /tangent)

Schedule reports to automatically run and distribute on a regular interval – daily, weekly or monthly. You can also trigger reports to send based on set alerts (did the budget get exceeded?). Tailor reports to your needs, save your scheduled tasks, then sit back and relax while Jet Reports does the work for you. Like magic!

Maybe set these reports on a schedule? That'd save actually noticing the run time, though it wouldn't actually reduce it.

It sounds like, since the formulas are a little longer, and I'm assuming there are many of them, it is trying to run calculations god knows how many times during the report compilation. Try turning off Automatic Workbook Calculation (File -> Options -> Formulas -> Workbook Calculation. Set to Manual. Will recalculate before saves and can be done manually with F9) See if that helps.

Another possibility is if your screen is showing Jet Reports trying to compile the report from a spreadsheet, it might be heavily taxing the processor due to the visuals. Take a look into programmatically turning off and on screen updating in excel. Might help

@DustinB3403
On that amazon page, it states "Designed for work groups with 3–10 users". Show that to The Powers That Be. lol

@FiyaFly
Hey

Ya one of the largest points of re-doing everything is to get it to a point where we can schedule it (we currently run it 2 times a week and then enter some information)

So we are also trying to get all the cells that we would manually add information to populate.

There are alot of one off reports (using this report) that people want, for example we currently run it on Monday and Thursday, but people also want then different time frames etc so while scheduling it eliminates the time problem it only really half eliminates it.

I was actually able to make a few changes and got the report down to 27 minutes, so I'm back on track for optimizing the report!

Thanks

Sweet! What changes did you make?

@gjacobse Well, I mean, I'm alive. lol. Really working on reigning in my life overall.

"As reported at news.com, the makers of the popular security tool Nessus are closing its source code. Although it will will remain free as in beer, Nessus is dropping the GPL license for the upcoming version 3 of the software. The problem appears to be that Tenable Network Security (the company which primary author Renaud Deraison founded around Nessus) isn't making money because it's competition is simply repackaging their product. Deraison's writes "A number of companies are using the source code against us, by selling or renting appliances, thus exploiting a loophole in the GPL. So in that regard, we have been fueling our competition, and we want to put an end to that." He also notes that the OSS community has contributed very little to Nessus in the past six years, so they were reaping no benefit from using the GPL."
Update: 10/06 22:48 GMT by CN : Nessus' Renaud Deraison wrote me to let me know that the company is "good money-wise," but has become annoyed with competitors repackaging their product.

Apparently you're 11 years behind on that news, Scott.

@penguinwrangler agreed, but still. You manage to fix your entire travel budget for work. I just recently had to get a loan for a car for work. I probably could have made do with it for everything else, because I live on the edge of a city, so if that were an option for me I'd be saving about $600 a month!

$600!? For a single car? My wife and my car with insurance is just over 600$/month! We have new-ish vehicles too both from 2014.

Yep. About $240 a month for the loan, and I live in Michigan, so not only do I get initially screwed on insurance, my driving record over the last 5 years includes about 8 claims, with one being my fault. However, no fault state, so it doesn't matter if I did it or not. Deer? Rates go up. Dude pulled out in front of me and totaled my car? Rates go up.

Then the icing on the cake is that, due to that totaling, I didn't have insurance for a few months. So, rates went up. I'm currently paying $380 a month for insurance. Just me and the one car.

EDIT: And, didn't turn 25 until just after getting insurance, so rates are up for that too.

Damn, that's unfortunate.

Downright insane. lol. But, to me it rolls back to a saying I've adopted and accepted:
"My life is an adventure, and that isn't by choice."

For giggles and grins, make sure you have ports 10000-20000 open to the PBX. In theory you already do, or at least some of them, and STUN should have fixed the rest, but doesn't hurt to check. You can also get someone to check the PBX logs when you try a call. If you can't during the day I can this afternoon

Forgot to say - Good morning! Finished setting up my daily and weekly tasks lists, both for home and work. Time to execute.

@Mike-Davis said in FreePBX and SonicWall intermittent inbound calls:

@FiyaFly Well, it inconsistent is how it was behaving.

Fair point. Fair point indeed. lol. I will admit, I have a rule of thumb with inconsistent problems. If it's on a computer, first assumption is hardware.
For something like this, first assumption is Firewall, and more specifically NAT.

I came here looking for a discussion on RPGs.

You and me both

Okay, okay. @coliver @Kelly I changed the name of the topic to be a bit more precise about the topic lol

Maybe I'm late to the party as well, but I still generally run CentOS. The rule of thumb for years has been 'do not run Fedora for production.' with the impression that CentOS is a lot more stable for the update reasons pointed out.

Busy morning. Authentication issues with a program we don't control, replacing DVD drives on something we don't support, going to be calling Cisco on an extentiot for RMA returns, meeting in 15 mins on taking power down for some building upgrade, transferring licenses to a different router...

Oddly for a Monday, I'm feeling productive

Reached out to @NetworkNerd, whether just for info for him or he might be able to help understand this. He has been quite the expert on Epicor for a while.

Trying to wake up enough to actually be productive.

Which means, along with my options of chromebook, better laptop, and phone dock, there's also get a wireless keyboard/mouse that can easily be transported. The main intent is always convenience. It's just fully determining what works for you in your situation.

That's the thing about Sentio, it appears to be less convenient in every possible scenario. No scenario where it adds convenience. But tons where it reduces it.

I believe the general intent of it is to reduce the amount of devices that you're spread across. Two-in-one, if you'd like. If they make it a touch-screen, three-in-one because then you have tablet. lol.

I have a tendency to back up and look at things from a broader and broader perspective, generally ending up on the philosophical level. I think the problem is that people don't entirely know what they don't like about what is currently out, so they're trying to fix a problem they can't name.

Or, at the very least, they just can't settle on a solution to a slew of problems. New solutions introduce new problems.

Coffee man.. Coffee..

I'm on my third energy drink. Not sure Coffee would suffice.

@stacksofplates said in Sentio, an Android Laptop Dock:

I miss what Ubuntu was trying to do back in 2013. They had it so you could just plug your phone into a dock attached to a monitor and that became your PC. It was Android on the phone and a full Ububtu desktop experience on the monitor. Didn't need any apps or any hardware other than your monitor. It was an interesting idea but never materialized for some reason.

I feel like this is somewhat of the goal with some of these docks and such. The problem it brings up is where are you going to have a monitor but no desktop? So you'd have to unplug the monitor from your desktop and plug it back it. Or at the very least switch inputs, which can hinder what you're used to when you're working at your desktop.
