Does MC all for full interaction when making Display Changes? Specifically - When applying settings, can you click the Keep Changes?

It must because I do that all the time.

That's pretty easy to do when you're self hosted, but if you're doing something like Vultr instances, I'm guessing it's a bit harder - unless Vultr allows for the creation of VMs that only exist on a private network.

True and that why I specifically mentioned a self-hosting scenario. I think I have a thread from the past asking about whether or not people bother with reverse-proxy for things hosted in Vulture or the like.

I don't think that it makes a difference.

how i fix this
Too many arguments, expected arguments "command".

When are you getting this error, and where?

Any ideas?

Also, update windows and Chrome.

Did windows updates this morning and chrome is up to date..

You just want to make sure Windows and Chrome have the latest CA root certs in their stores... that's why he's recommending doing that.

@rjt said in Adding remote storage to Proxmox:

@jaredbusch nfs on top of ZFS.
ZFS should be the underlying block/fs for everything whether a single hard drive, block storage like iSCSi, file storage such as NFS or CIFS. I like TrueNAS for this purpose. As you can see, I love ZFS. My problem is I also love CentOS. Need to figure out easy ways to get ZFS on CentOS. We should all write a letter to Larry asking him to open up the license.

Most of us here do not subscribe to The Cult of ZFS. Yes, it has a place, but not nearly like it's made out to be.

We use DNS health checks for this, Route53 and CLoudFlare have this but it comes at a n additional cost.

I suspect there's a link between not closing the tab, and exiting the browser.
Then when loading the browser and the tab, problems.

@siringo said in hot potato workers:

I was thinking about this last night. Is there anything you could do with QR codes or similar. Issue a card per device. They swipe/flash the card to log on and the same to log off.

you know of a windows solution that does that? I don't, though I've never looked for one either.

Sometimes people have to be inconvenienced for security

Don't disagree - but can't stop doing business either.

Managing all these exceptions is an operational nightmare that will create a load of technical debt.

No lie - and no argument there. But resetting the expiry date/time doesn't seem all that different than resetting any password. few clicks and poof.

I can understand your point, but some responsibility for security must fall on the user. Management of course has to buy in on this and/or give full control of IT policies to a CISO/IT manager/generalist (depending on size of business).

Again - no disagreement. Barring this - being able to set a date for the password to expire that isn't to far out of policy seems better and more ideal than some of the options.

@francesco-provino said in Air Gap Backups:

I have done it with the S3 Vault Lock feature, you can use it in conjunction with Storage Gateway (effectively emulating tapes), or using objects directly.

Once put in compliance mode, there is no way to delete the objects before the compliance period ends. It's also very cheap.

I'm trailing this now. Well to S3 storage, if it works I'll enable the Lock bit

@jasgot Thanks for the help buddy. What you mention sounds exactly like what is happening.

I think this problem may be resolved then, thanks for your help.

Just a heads up on this. If you select their Ampere Arm processor you can have 4CPU with 24gb ram for free as well. VM has boot of 50GB but you can addon block storage for free up to 200GB I believe.

Ampere A1 Compute instances (Arm processor): All tenancies get the first 3,000 OCPU hours and 18,000 GB hours per month for free for VM instances using the VM.Standard.A1.Flex shape, which has an Arm processor. For Always Free tenancies, this is equivalent to 4 OCPUs and 24 GB of memory

Good old break everything windows updates.

This is all you have within the SonicWall control, on or off. I saw this yesterday and assumed I was missing something critical. The most basic APs in the world include the "Identify AP" functionality.

Apparently, SonicWall APs are more basic than basic as they don't include this functionality at all.

On or off is all you get.

@dashrender said in Why Do People Still Text:

they have a flip phone, so SMS isn't an option, but those people are so few that it doesn't affect the masses.

Huh? Every flip phone and service I've had in the 90s and early 2000s had SMS texting.

That was definitely not my experience. I've had cell service continuously since 1992 and did not get access to texting until more like 2002 and never sent or received a text until I would guess after 2006. But I had email on my phone before that and talked with loads of people because it was common in business then, because of Blackberry devices, to have email on the phones. ANd because texting was costly and rarely available, they had Blackberry messenger instead of texting on the devices. We didn't use it, but it was there.

Not my own experience. Texting was big for me and my circle back then, regardless of your experience. Besides the point though... Being a flip phone had nothing to do with SMS.

I think the answer is, in the rare circumstance that SIP / T.38 is working perfectly, you would not change. We have big customers doing tons of faxing and they desperately need this solution because they can't get SIP / T.38 to an acceptable failure rate.

If you have an ideal setup - modern fax machine, fiber internet, correctly configured ATA (which is, by far, the biggest problem we've had - people just won't read the guides thoroughly), your expected failure rate is about 8% on a T.38 ATA. For small offices who send/receive a fax once in a couple of months, this is a fine solution.

HTTPS ATAs only fail when the party on the other end of the fax fails; which makes them at least as reliable as traditional POTS lines. They are probably more reliable because we will retry the fax 9 times before failing it. So if you need near 100% reliability, you need to use the HTTPS ATAs.

The reason we are charging monthly for the ATAs is because that is how we are charged for them. We have to buy software for these things to work, and its expensive. Most of our competitors who offer HTTPS ATAs charge north of $15/mo.
