My money on error 1603. Which means nothing but is usually the error in Windows Update logs.

@dustinb3403 said in Spectrum Sucks!!!:

Spectrum (aka Time Warner AKA Time Wanker) is as bad as ComCast AKA ComNazi's.

Business class. . HA 15 down and 2 up for that many people and businesses.

Actually expecting them to get their billing in order. What a joke! I'd send them invoices for all the time spent sorting out their fake billing scheme as an attempt to charge you more.

Each house had the 15x2 connection. Not shared.

I was talking to a friend who is an attorney and he said to keep track of all the hours we've been working on this and we should be able to get 3x our hourly rate for the time we've been spending on this. We're at about 10k in billing rate.

We thought about using the sucking one, but opted for this, instead.

Good plan

What are the IDs of the two?

I'm sure this is a silly question but how do I find the IDs? These are Windows boxes.

I just realized that there is no reliable way to do so. Look under the FQDN, sometimes it gets put there (a bug on the list to be fixed.)

Forgot about that whole can't sudo thing 😞

It's because of the piping. There are ways, but not with the simple commands.

@scottalanmiller Debian 9

Ah, okay. That is a new combination. So Debian 9 on there is different than "normal" Debian 9. Might be a repo issue.

It is checking in so not sure what the deal was.

Oh sure, the one thing that actually works, fails on the way to doing it. lol

here it he powershell method.

So how long before SodiumSuite can do all of what 🌶 can do?

Is there already any reason to be using 🌶 software vs other free alternative?

Not that I know Of.

@wls-itguy said in Cannot SFTP into Webhost:

Your comment would work normally. However, it was an update that indeed broke the system only to have to search for the fix again on their site.

Oh my...any pointers for us here?

What about restores?

Weird but working now. I went back in the ini file for 5.6 and changed it to another #, saved it, restarted service, went into wordpress and it didn't register. Went back to ini in 5.6, changed it again, saved, and restarted services and this time it did register. WHATEVER!

@black3dynamite said in Wordpress/php issue:

Instead of uninstalling php5, just disable it.

# Disable php5 enable php7 a2dismod php5 a2enmod php7 systemctl restart apache2.service

Well, that sure makes things easier 🙂

@scottalanmiller LOL, SAM.

It comes down to security vs. convenience. Performance is something completely different and can be tuned/scheduled.

Do you leave your keys in your vehicles ignition? Do you leave your front door wide open? Do you write your personal identity numbers on your arm?

No? Use anti-virus.

Do you still use it if you have servers that are not accessed directly or accessing anything? What will the AV be scanning?

If the servers aren't "serving" anything out, then what would be the purpose of the servers?

AV only is for files, not other traffic. Which is nearly everything outside of the SMB. FIle sharing is a minor task percentage wise. Think about a database server, for example. Or a proxy, or a load balancer, or an XMPP server, or a PBX....

I was also thinking of any possibility that a malicious program made its way onto a server intended for something other than file services. I should clarify that I'm only talking about a Windows Server. Load balancers running FreeBSD, DB on bare metal, etc I wouldn't think about putting it on those. Haha honestly, my post was more in the facetious now that I've re-read it.

I lacked more specific information in my post though about server OS or deliverable. That's my bad.

What in the #&#

Great! BTW, I read a while ago that WSUS was going away? Yet today in my searches for this issue I see that it is indeed still alive and well on 2012 servers? Did I dream that WSUS was going away?

It often should go away, but I don't know that MS is taking it away.

I have a PRI and it is through Time Warner/Spectrum. That all checks out on their end.

Oh. Ewww

At the time we didn't have a SIP option. Now that they are trying to make us pay a $7000 bill for their F-up we'll be looking for a new SIP provider.

VoIP.ms and Flowroute I use and are good.

Twilio, I have not used yet, but it has good recommendations.

So one things we've discovered is that Linode's Debian 9 systems have remove UUIDGEN from them, for some reason. How annoying.

@mike-davis said in In-house IM service:

What are the requirements? Text only? audio? video? desktop sharing? free?

Really just basic messaging.

You have loads of choices. But I'd gravitate to Rocket.chat for modern style like Slack and OpenFire for XMPP style.

It should be already be happening.

Tagging @Sodium @QuixoticJeremy

At least I put it in the right category 🙂

You did, I took notice 😉

@scottalanmiller Wish I could blame one of the newbies on that one but it's more likely a result of a 72 hour binge coding session that never got fixed.... oh well.
