@scottalanmiller Whole article is great but the last 2 lines are Shame that NextCloud + OnlyOffice is not really there, I tried it when I was working with MSFF... definitely interesting but needs some time.

Just had a very large client reach out and ask for LibreOffice again after moving to MS Office because they found Excel too difficult to get data in correctly. So they are going to LibreOffice for exactly the reason that everyone claims that "everyone" chooses MS Office... LO is easier to use and has better compatibility They own licenses for both, so purchase cost is not a factor. They've used MS Office more time in the last three years. Given less time with LibreOffice and zero "price" incentive, they've chosen it as the superior product for them - with zero prompting from IT. Out of the blue the managers chose it as the better product.

It reminds me of the movie "Law Abiding Citizen". The suspect would "confess" to all kind of things but if you actually listened to what he said it wasn't a confession at all. Not that a movie is real life but still. Youtube Video

This is what we currently do for hourly phone system jobs. Basically as long as you schedule it, you get the normal rate. Time of day doesn't matter.

@scottalanmiller Nice, let us know how it goes.

@Emad-R said in One Time, Non-Image, Windows Backup Client: @scottalanmiller said in One Time, Non-Image, Windows Backup Client: @Emad-R said in One Time, Non-Image, Windows Backup Client: better to use it on another VM close to that VM No other VM. If we open the only other VM, ESXi can't work. So that tool, I'd expect, couldn't actually run. Oh you can run it from any where, as long as you can ping the ESXi or reach it. but i prefer a VM cause its faster I see. That was a problem for us because we couldn't transfer off of the server, their network wasn't fast enough

@black3dynamite said in Converting VMware VMs to KVM: I haven't been keeping up with Windows Admin Center for awhile. Was that an option to manage Hyper-V? It will be, but I'm not sure that it is yet. We've tried and not been able to get it working even internally anywhere, let alone externally. Once they figure out stability and authentication, I assume that it will be great for that. Being that this is 2016, it's going to suck hard. And if there is a Hyper-V issue, WAC would be down which is a problem in a small environment like this.

@NetworkNerd

@dafyre that's a good one

@JasGot said in Nicaragua Trip: Awesome! thanks for sharing! De nada It was a really great trip.

@krisleslie said in IT Helps the Business; Does Management Agree?: I disagree on the idea that magement shouldn't understand IT. We shouldn't expect them to have a Ph.D. in IT and all the various flavors but they should be able to comprehend what's going on at a basic level. Problem with that line of thought is that you cannot understand IT at a basic level and make any decisions whatsoever that have value. To make decisions of value you have to understand all the implications of the technology you’re in going to be dealing with. President or CEO should not be expected to know that kind of detail that’s why they hire IT.

@JaredBusch said in NextCloud Client Issues: Looks like they found the issue. https://github.com/nextcloud/desktop/issues/1292 Fedora workaround until it is released: sudo dnf install libgnome-keyring I thought that issue was specific to Fedora GNOME. Ever since I started using the nextcloud app I've been including that package as part of my post install setup.

@stacksofplates said in Installing Hugo Static Website Generator on Linux: @scottalanmiller said in Installing Hugo Static Website Generator on Linux: @stacksofplates said in Installing Hugo Static Website Generator on Linux: @scottalanmiller said in Installing Hugo Static Website Generator on Linux: However, they don't have any standard Linux install documentation on their website and only show using Homebrew, a MacOS package that essentially no one on Linux uses. Very odd. I just looked. I'm not sure what you're talking about. The page clearly shows snaps, dnf, apt, pacman, eopgk, and pkg_add for OpenBSD. https://gohugo.io/getting-started/installing Completely different than what I got from the same link this morning. I went to that page, clicked on Linux, and they only showed Brewlinux, which isn't even the current name of the system. Way back machine shows it's been there since at least the 13th. https://web.archive.org/web/20191113183617/https://gohugo.io/getting-started/installing/ Very weird. I wonder if it was a cache somewhere? I definitely poked around this morning and Linuxbrew was the only thing that it had and had it from every link that I tried on their site.

@Dashrender said in Windows 10 Screen Shot No Longer Working: This might help you find or reset it http://hkcmdr.anymania.com/ Thanks, will try it.

FastStone also works fine. https://chocolatey.org/packages/fsviewer

@Emad-R said in Researching Mailing List Email Server Options: So you dont want the SMTP server part, just the sending to many and if a user opt to be removed that will auto reflect ... Either way. If we handle the SMTP that's fine. If we don't, that's fine.

@scottalanmiller Did you ever solve this problem? Just wondering what you solution was if you did.

@Francesco-Provino said in Nu Shell, a New PowerShell-inspired Shell for Linux: Nice, but why use this when we have the real PowerShell for Linux? Performance probably. And ease of use. And while PS is on Linux, does it process any Linux data in this way?

That's nice lol, I have posted here 1/7 of the posts I have done in SW which is crazy lol. I really do casual posts here for sure.

@black3dynamite said in Blank Screen After Fedora 30 Update to 5.3.5 Kernel on Dell Inspiron Laptop: @scottalanmiller said in Blank Screen After Fedora 30 Update to 5.3.5 Kernel on Dell Inspiron Laptop: @black3dynamite said in Blank Screen After Fedora 30 Update to 5.3.5 Kernel on Dell Inspiron Laptop: @scottalanmiller said in Blank Screen After Fedora 30 Update to 5.3.5 Kernel on Dell Inspiron Laptop: @notverypunny said in Blank Screen After Fedora 30 Update to 5.3.5 Kernel on Dell Inspiron Laptop: I've lost track of which distros are using which backends for graphics, but could it be related to xorg vs wayland or something along those lines? Seems kinda of likely, but can't track it down. Your desktop environment is Cinnamon? Fedora Workstation and I believe RHEL 8 and CentOS 8 that uses GNOME3 is about the only distros that defaults to wayland. It is, yes. F30 with Cinnamon. The F31 that worked was Gnome 3. Are you planning on trying F31 with Cinnamon? And it worked fine. Doing the F31 update fixed it.

@black3dynamite said in Ubuntu Updates to 19.10: @Emad-R It's all great having numbers and visual aid to show results but will you really notice the difference when using Ubuntu compare Debian, assuming you are using the same desktop environment? That's the tough comparison. Ubuntu has more features and a different desktop. I specifically like Ubuntu's desktop. So going to Debian I'd likely modify it to the point of being Ubuntu, lol.

@Dashrender Confirmed, our MailCow is using ActiveSync to my phone, works beautifully.

@Pete-S said in MailCow Command Line Reference: @scottalanmiller said in MailCow Command Line Reference: @Dashrender said in MailCow Command Line Reference: @Pete-S said in MailCow Command Line Reference: If you don't intend to use the webinterface then what purpose does mailcow have? You could just install dovecot, postfix etc for email and sogo for calendar and have the same thing without the middle man. I bet you have to tweak config files even with mailcow. I'm assuming Scott is asking about management stuff - he wants to script that stuff, not GUI manage it. Right. GUI is fine for low capacity sites. But we are looking at two use cases both in the 10K+ range. But mailcow doesn't add any functionality that the original packages don't already have. It's just a wrapper. Is it not? Mostly. But it is handling the testing and integration of the components, which is the hard bit. It's actually doing a fair amount of work. I've built an extremely similar system in the past and the effort was quite large for just the "wrapper" bits that they are doing And the central API is a huge deal.

Almost a week and no response from any of the agencies contacted. Still rings to spam/scam phone number.

@WrCombs said in How to Stop an Ongoing RAID Rebuild HP P420i RAID Controller: we use Intel Rapid Storage - CTL +I on Boot gets you there? - Disclaimer I may be thinking of Software RAID rather than Hardware RAID - but It may be worth a shot to try.. Yeah, Intel Rapid Storage is the most prominent example of Fake RAID. So it is software.

@Obsolesce said in City of Munich Moving to Closed Source Software: It looks like the whole issue was due to their use of some weird distro years ago. That article technically doesn't say why they need Windows now, so for all I know they have some new weird requirements I don't know about, but assuming they don't, I think the decision to go to Windows is a horrible idea. They'd be much better off going to Ubuntu instead. Yes I upvoted a post about how Ubuntu would be better than an alternative. Please no heart attacks people.

Instead of contacting support, have you tried the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation along with viewers like you?

@Dashrender said in SAM on Web Design with HTML 2005: so much more hair. And still not very much.

I quickly found a problem that would keep me from using Publii personally and that's no native LaTeX support. After showing it to a friend and how easy it was to setup and use, I wondered if I could convert one of my sites to it. However I have to have good math support and it doesn't. For any other user it seems to work great.
