My favorite apps are the ones that are cross platform like VSCode.

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

:thumbs_up: :smiling_face_with_halo:

That brings up the question... Do we need a thread for reviewing role playing games?

yes.

@Tim_G Nice catch. Tagged. Thanks!

@FiyaFly Using the US government statistics (the value of university is extremely nationality dependent, if you are in the UK the importance of university is dramatically higher, but so are their education standards and their high school standards) we did this study just a few months ago. College lost by more than we were expecting.

@NetworkNerd said in Home Lab, Multiple Servers on Repurposed Hardware- Feasible?:

If you had another station (whether laptop or desktop) or maybe a very small VM on what will be your host, consider installing Starwind's virtual SAN (just on the one box). It's a way to get yourself some experience with how VMware or another hypervisor interacts with iSCSI storage. I've used it in a lab before, and it worked great.

We have that on top of the Scale cluster in the lab. Starwind SAN on top of the HC3 works great.

@gjacobse Not entirely sure, but I don't think I'd do python. A bit too heavy of a language for this. Might slow things down. I'd be perfectly fine learning a new language to do it lol

@scottalanmiller said in Outdated Java and IE security settings for CUCM. When did this become okay?!:

That seems pretty bad.

For firefox, had to follow this: http://stokebrand.com/blog/2015/7/6/cannot-login-to-cisco-callmanager-after-firefox-update
For Java, I had to drop the security from very high to just high, disable some "Block these apps" settings and add an exemption for the https://IP:port of the CUCM server.

For those who don't want to follow the link for firefox, I had to set these in about:config
security.ssl3.dhe_rsa_aes_128_sha=false
security.ssl3.dhe_rsa_aes_256_sha=false

Perhaps you need to setup a VM specifically for managing that old equipment.

@FiyaFly said in Scripting changing VLANs on Managed Switches through SSH:

Can you think of an easy way to get the information from the switches as to current configuration in an automated manner to create and update the tables accordingly? SNMP is an option but I'd have to think on the best way to output and parse the information.

SNMP should be available via a pre-parsed module in Python, I would assume. Not something that I have written myself (obviously not the module, but I've not written something that uses the module) but I would be pretty surprised if this didn't already exist in such a way that you just have to query the resulting array rather than needing to parse a text dump.

There is a bit, but it is very limiting. C# is far from a dominant language in anything but desktop application development. It's a good language loaded with power, but it's costly to manage as pretty much everyone runs it on IIS. Once you get to any scale the cost of C# really impact you. I've never seen a shop of any size doing any critical systems on it, just little ones that don't really evaluate long term risk well.

Not quite like Pertino but definitely similarities. Looks like this is really designed around a single tunnel scenario where you want to get Internet access as if you were located elsewhere. Pretty basic, but not a bad idea.

I know it's not exactly the same but definitely similar.

Greg found this article, seems to cover things pretty well around what we're trying to set up.

@coliver We're using Yealink phones. I'll take a look into it. Thanks!

I'm thinking the hardest part will be setting up the VPN on the PBX side.

@FiyaFly said:

Well, they send the notification as though they are getting a channel unavailable response from the PBX. I'm looking to call them tomorrow but wanted to see if anyone had seen this before. I do not think it is the PBX either.

Everything about this screams "hiccup in Vitelity" but of course, they'll pass it off as a PBX problem unless you can prove definitively otherwise.

There are no other HP printers installed on this system.

Restart the print spooler.

Also, you may have to reboot. Is the printer gone from Devices and Printers?

@technobabble said:

I don't which server OS you have, but I've had no issues with the HP P2035n once I started using the HP Universal Print Driver. Of course those PCs are not using a printer server, so it may not be helpful info.

The UPD is just as useful in a print server setting as it is on individual machines.

So what was the resolution on this one? I'm sure others would like to know if it was the SIP provider, the Ubiquiti device, or something else entirely.

That it did, fixed a nice number of issues.

Coffee for me.
