@scottalanmiller said in Untangle Site to Site VPN Not Connecting: @dbeato said in Untangle Site to Site VPN Not Connecting: @scottalanmiller said in Untangle Site to Site VPN Not Connecting: We DID find last night that one machine had updated to a different version than the other. But the other is months behind but refuses to recognize that an update exists. Untangle claims updates are delayed to reduce server load and there is no option to control versions (basically... this is in no way a business product.) There is always a way to force the updates, I bet this are actual old workstations or servers with Untangle, otherwise they would have been in version 14.1... This is not way configured the same for updates on both devices.. Don't think so, looking at the hardware they looked like store bought Untangle commercial devices. Weird all around, but I understand

Our departments have their own budget so if they want to print color they can but they figured out fast to be responsible for their own paper. That seems like a bad approach, since any given department could be forced to stop work "because they overran their paper budget". Usually, they use the code and pin to know where they are using color but otherwise default is to allow b&w to print without a code. How does the printer know the difference? Black is a color. . Really? Yes really, how does a printer know the difference between CMYK and a page which is black and white. It's an honest question as I don't know how a Pin to "print in color" would affect this the way you described it. Also to whoever downvoted, not sure why. Okay, there are different types of print black and white, gray scale and color which uses CMYK , usually on MFP devices they have different toners for esch of those colors plus black. When a job is sent to the printer with the color setting on the driver it then uses those toners while black and white only requests the black toner None of the explains what I've asked. How does entering a pin, allow someone to print in color? I've always seen Pin or No Pin for all printing. Nothing I've ever used has offered "pin for color prints only" etc. It can be for both.

Good to know, I use Ubuntu/Debian so I will check for that.

@DustinB3403 said in Windows Server 2012 Essentials Cannot Find Login Server for AD: That's rough. Very

Sorry, ignore me. I got this figured out. I was being really dumb and had the wrong config.json file open and didn't know what I was looking at. Just ignore. Yes, the socket.io settings were missing, but were on my screen so I was sure that they were there.

@dafyre said in Fedora 29 Apache HTTPD Keeps Adding ssl.conf: Have you tried creating a blank ssl.conf file and then chmod +i ssl.conf ? I've not, but that's such a hockie way of doing it, I was hoping not to.

Probably won't be firing them up for a couple of weeks till after I get settled in at the new place, but man these were some sought after pieces of equipment in their day. I still remember hackers using the SunFire workstations to reprogram smart cards, got all the channels available on DirectTV for free. We found the serial cables less than an hour after you left! That figures. I've got the workstation tho, one of the things that were always way more expensive than I could ever hope to actually buy. Just because they first came out around Y2K doesn't mean I won't spend too many hours poking it.

@scottalanmiller said in KVM with Cockpit on Fedora 29 Network Type Options Greyed Out: When building a new VM using Cockpit's web interface to KVM on Fedora 29, the Network Type option leaves most options like Bridge to LAN, Generic ethernet connections, and Direct attachment greyed out. Anyone know why? Did you try with network manager? Any missing package?

@dbeato said in NodeBB Setup Error on Amazon Linux: @scottalanmiller said in NodeBB Setup Error on Amazon Linux: I love how we get an npm command not found error... while running NPM! Are the NPM binaries linked or in /usr/bin? # which npm /root/.nvm/versions/node/v8.13.0/bin/npm

@Romo said in Collabora CODE and NextCloud Integration Shows Blank Editing Page and Spinning Circle: Just got it working, it was indeed a DNS issue. When launching the docker container I added the --add-host name:ip option to add an entry to the hosts file that pointed to the internal ip of our nextcloud server and that made it properly work. Its now properly working I'll have to try that tonight!

@scottalanmiller said in NPM Errors on NodeBB Install on Amazon Linux: @DustinB3403 said in NPM Errors on NodeBB Install on Amazon Linux: Have you tried as root? Everything was done as root. Amazon is all root by default. yeah, the default user for centos is centos with your KMS or privatekey they create. For Ubuntu is Ubuntu.

Command was... nvm use 0.10.8, as it was already installed here, just not in use.

@Dashrender said in Why are Windows Management GUI Elements So Tiny?: @scottalanmiller said in Why are Windows Management GUI Elements So Tiny?: @WrCombs said in Why are Windows Management GUI Elements So Tiny?: I was actually just talking about this with some coworkers of mine. If you ever work with any other system, then work with Windows, it's shocking how silly and ridiculous it is. You can't "see" anything. It's like they wanted to mock people for choosing the GUI. I love how you frequently go to this - they must want to mock people.. I'm sure it rarely if ever actually starts there. As already said - it was legacy, and never updated. They are finally getting around to updating most of the control panel applets - but we're still frequently stuck dealing with the old style for things like the java security admin, etc. But wouldn't that be hilarious if it were true? Internal MS plot to fuck with people: "Haha these idiots buying our operating system for the GUI... you know what would REALLY be funny? Release management tools that they can't see, so they have to squint their eyes and get really close to the screen. Their eyesight will get worse and they'll look even older while doing it with that stupid look on their face. HAH!!"

@StorageNinja said in MongoDB Major Change to Licensing: @scottalanmiller said in MongoDB Major Change to Licensing: if you are a SaaS vendor looking at building software that uses MongoDB somewhere, you'd better get a lawyer looking over this license and how it applies to you. This is becoming a bigger issue as the biggest SaaS vendors hide behind this clause more and more with incredibly proprietary forks. They offer very little to no actual core development or contribution and it goes against the previous method of GPL code getting funding. It annoys me, as the legal headaches of contributing internal only use code back will block some companies from using OSS, but I see it both ways. The startups who are doing a lot of the core housekeeping of NOSQL platforms are learning they can't find a business model. This is getting messier and messier. Partially because there are just too any vendors involved. What's amazing, though, is that a move like this took a customer who was very into MongoDB and using it in projects and was literally working with MongoDB's own hosted product and now looking to avoid it like the plague. So at least in this one case, they are likely losing hosted product from this. And gaining nothing. I imagine a lot of customers going through this same process.

@travisdh1 said in SPAM Filtering with Zimbra: @dbeato I'm a fan of using their RBL list. Anyone know if that's still available for free? @travisdh1 also the server is b.barracudacentral.org

@StorageNinja said in Is the Physical Thin Client Era Dead?: @bbigford said in Is the Physical Thin Client Era Dead?: They are slow as fuck in most environments Are they slow, or did someone underprovision the Shitrix environment behind it? Not a configuration issue with infrastructure (Citrix or VMware), since zero clients ran great. The thin hardware endpoints were always just slow as fuck.

@dyasny said in Why Do Recruiters Never Get Involved in Forums Like This: @scottalanmiller said in Why Do Recruiters Never Get Involved in Forums Like This: Most recruiters sending me things don't even state where the job is. It's a weird thing I've found, like they think that there is only one market in the whole world and that I'll just know where they must mean. My first question is always "what country is this for"? Strange, I typically see them specifying the city or whether or not the job is remote from the very start. There was a bit of initial confusion when I moved countries several times, but it straightens out quite quickly Definitely many do specify, but an absurd number do not.

@JaredBusch said in Yealink VoIP Phone Powered by Ubiquiti ER-X PoE: @scottalanmiller said in Yealink VoIP Phone Powered by Ubiquiti ER-X PoE: Anyone tried this combination? Does the power output on the one PoE port of the UBNT ER-X properly power the PoE input on a Yealink phone? We are specifically looking at the T42S. The ERX should work if the power injector that you’re passing through is one design for the phone and not the fixed voltage unifi The ER-X models have warnings in the manual that you need a different power source than the included wall wart if you're going to provide PoE to a device. At that point, just use passthrough from a compatible phone adapter. @JaredBusch already nailed it.

@scottalanmiller I got to say this: I din't find a public price below 150 USD + TAX, you are right.

Boo! Way to drag down the SEO of the site broham! Sometimes it is direct message is most important You can provide any good explanation you want, I don't listen to anyone You sound just like @DustinB3403 Funny I was going to say you sound just like Linus Torvalds.

I love how after all that desperation, they end with "don't date a man with too many loose buttons". The whole thing is like "don't be picky, take anyone with a pulse" and ends with the pickiest sh1t ever.

Using noop would be useful when you are checking on the status of a machine that you don't necessarily manage.

As the article states, the hard part about this technology is the loss of anonymity. And perception problems. I don't care about perception of people too stupid to even spell blockchain, let alone understand what it is. Blockchain election systems would be great technically. 100% agree. Blockchain isnt quite ready for this yet, but will be very soon. I have done quit a bit of tinkering with my own Ethereum token with transactions, testing, etc. It isn't quite ready for the Broadway yet, but it's getting there and the concept is very solid. Some issues need to be addressed such as speed. The issues will not be technical. If you cannot have a 100% anonymous electorate, then you have people that can sell their votes (and prove it). The entire point of blockchain is accountability. You cannot have accountability and anonymity with the current design of blockchain. Retaliation based on political views could be a potential issue as well. I believe It may already be an issue and would get much worse. Right now it is based on perceived views. Which is bad. But you can imagine how mad people would be if they learned for certain how people voted. For the people who want that info kept private, it is a huge issue. Many people have no issue stating who they did not vote for or what party they belong to. Just like many have no issue posting their life on social media. Claiming and proving are very different things, though. Good point. Actually, the point. If people would be able to prove that they voted a certain way, the amount of money that flow into vote buying is nearly unimaginable. Yeah, someone paying for a vote might pay $.25 for someone's word on who they voted for. But might pay $100 for a proven vote.

@Obsolesce said in A Fundamental Shift in University Thinking Since 2008: @scottalanmiller said in A Fundamental Shift in University Thinking Since 2008: But fundamentally, it appears that students don't understand what college is for So, then, what is your opinion of what college is for... or should be for? It's always been, and colleges have long pushed this, that it was for exposure, broadening how you think... it was for those with enough money that they didn't have to work right away but could afford time off to explore things that interested them or make them more interesting. It was never for getting a job, or getting ahead in a job. That people think that it is for that is an extremely recent thing (like definitely since I was in college.) Even in the last fifteen years major colleges have made statements that they are not there for those purposes. The idea that college is for getting a job is weird, people have started confusing trade schools (those that teach "a job") with universities (those that teach liberally) and in the last two decades, very quickly, people think that traditional colleges are actually trade schools and try to treat them that way. But while expectations have changed, the colleges have not (and should not.) But this leads to the huge amount of lower income, lifetimes of debt, dissatisfaction with college results, etc. that we see today. Colleges have no system for preparing people for real world jobs. The entire tenure system guarantees that that is impossible - colleges simply can't have a staff capable of doing that kind of education. The design of the university system is for other purposes, and universities have generally been crystal clear about that, it's not hidden or secret or new... this is hundreds of years of this. That's why the number of people going to university in the past was so small, it was really only for the elite because normal people needed to work and pay the bills.
