      This was it. What a dumb way to have that worded!!

      Sorry, google translate.
      But it's good that it was fixed.

      I mean dumb way that ZTE worded it.

      Windows 10 Workstation Cannot Be Accessed via RDP with Other User Error

      J

      We find that if we rename the PC, then allow more than a day to go by before restarting, this can happen.

      Also, if we rename a PC, then the user allows the PC to go into Lock mode (screen saver timeout with login required to return) they will encounter this upon wake up/re-logon.

      In the above two cases a reboot usually resolves it, when it doesn't, we go in as local admin and disjoin then rejoin the domain to resolve it.

      Also, in the above two cases, we did not lose the computer in active directory, so after the disjoin/rejoin you'd want to remove the orphan computer from AD.

      There's an article online somewhere about why you should NOT disjoin and rejoin the domain in this case, but we have always done it this way and have never experienced ill effects.

      @scottalanmiller said in Bind Linux Process to Well Known Web Ports When Not Root:

      If you have ever tried to run a user space program on Linux with a port below 1024 you know that this is a security problem and you are not allowed to do so. There is a simple fix for this, but it is not well known.

      Once you know the binary that you will be using to open the low number (well known) port you can use this command to grant it permission to use these ports without otherwise compromising security.

      setcap cap_net_bind_service+ep /my/binary/file

      Now you can run your application. This is most commonly used for user space web applications that want to use port 80 or 443 without requiring that you run a reverse proxy in front of them.

      Good to know!

      I found this as an example of how to use it and also commands to remove the permission:
      https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/HTTPD/NonRootPortBinding

      The setcap utility seems to be available in the libcap2-bin package on debian distros.

      I haven't checked if it's installed by default.

      It's an easy fix. Sometimes the directions for the upgrade don't account for the source location of the APT REPO for ProxMox. Check your /etc/apt files and see where your repo is configured. If you are going from Buster to Bullseye for example, make sure that you have this line somewhere and the error should go away...

      @dbeato said in Zoho Federation, Is It Possible?:

      I usually would recommend to us the External Channel like people do with Slack
      https://help.zoho.com/portal/en/kb/zoho-cliq/cliq-user-guide/channel/how-to-use-channels/articles/how-do-i-invite-users-from-other-organizations-to-join-an-external-channel

      With Cliq you can have group chats as well as external channels and I'm assuming it's the same with Slack.

      The recommended approach by Zoho is to use group chats for ad-hoc conversations and to use channels for more permanent team communication.

      I think support issues and customer conversation belongs to the one-on-one and group chats while long term project collaboration is best served by channels.

      That's why I think most a lot of people can work fine without external channels. You don't get external channels in the free tier of Zoho Cliq.

      @scottalanmiller It makes sense they can't because of the nature of their static Database.

      not have the typical shitty editor like GitHub has

      Huh? GitHub has VSCode as well for an editor now.

      It does? When I hit edit, it uses the shitty editor. I don't see an option for VSCode?

      Found it, "open in github.dev" does it. I never tried that option, but also it's rare I ever edit in the web browser.

      Oh I never did that method. I just hit the period button and it opens.

      @scottalanmiller It's a bit of a no-brainer though I've not watched the vid.

      The Cult of the Lowest Common Denominator will win in most cases. There are some niche players out there not a part of the Cult, but one needs to sift through the chaff to find them.

      @scottalanmiller said in December 2022 Maintenance:

      Yes, I've been saying this about certain core functionality for a long time. I try to avoid anything in plugins because there's so much fragility there. They are a constant source of problems on products like this.

      I upgraded my platform this morning to v2.6.1 and I have no issue with the embed plugin working. It does give a warning on load.

      @Fredtx said in SAMIT: Should You Still Be Using Disk Partitions:

      In a Windows world, it seems it would be better to create a Storage Space, because it gives you the flexibility to extend the storage instead of having to add/mount another virtual drive if you were to run out of space.

      Exactly. Same logic applies universally, always best to have that flexibility on your platform. It has no real overhead, but protects against the unknown.

      @JaredBusch said in SAMIT: Stop Using Secure Email:

      Also, accepting insecure email is different than allowing your organization to send insecure email.

      Very true. Accepting things insecurely is better than sending them.

      I accept email in any way that it is sent. But all sent email is required to be TLS or it will not send. I have a couple of people that the boss cannot email because of it, as well as one prior customer that is still running an ancient ass GroupWise 6 email server. They email asking for one off support for their routers sometimes.

      @Carnival-Boy said in SAMIT: Should You Provide Equipment for Work from Home Staff?:

      From that, you've drawn a huge number of untrue assumptions, such as I'm not really IT,

      Where did I draw that conclusion? I asked you if you were and you've not said one way or the other. That's all. Repeating that you work for an ISV, whatever that means to you, in no way whatsoever answers the question. Just because an ISV is in no way an IT organization doesn't mean that they don't hire some IT staff internally. I feel like you are saying it to try to tell us you're not in IT, but it doesn't imply that.

      Just like working at McDonald's includes both flipping burgers and being a CIO.

      ISVs tend to have incredibly small IT needs, in general. But they certainly need IT. As someone that's owned an ISV for a very long time, we certainly have IT. But we don't offer IT, we offer software. But developers need IT support too. As do the office staff, etc.
