  Blue Iris is great. It is too bad it only runs on Windows. We have deployed in on mini PCs with great success.

  @thejb said in Anyone Know a Good GUI for HAProxy?: @scottalanmiller $1200 does seem crazy, but it is an ADC not just a GUI for HAProxy. Some features include an Accelerator built upon nginx, WAF for security, GSLB and high availability. For more information on the features - https://www.snapt.net/platforms/aria-adc/features Is there a reason that you don't natively support deployments to things like k8s? It seems crazy this day and age to not have first class support for that seeing as almost everything will be there. Esp in the enterprise space where this has to be marketed for.

  @taurex said in Help Understanding LAN test Speed Results: Try iPerf. It definitely puts storage out of the equation. Try using it with parallel threads to get more accurate results what the link can really handle. Also, it would only test TCP throughput by default but you can test UDP on a client side with -u switch. There are tons of guides on it online. I did use iPerf and the results were within range of 900Gbit/s, which is what I wanted to know. Seems like the Lan Speed Test tool I used prior was slower due to the hard drive write times of the client, which makes sense, since I had to put a folder path to the server share.

  @scottalanmiller said in Deploying NodeBB 1.14 on CentOS 8 with MongoDB 4.2: By default, NodeBB uses the REDIS NoSQL database, By default, in 1.15.x it uses Mongo I'm pretty sure it did in the last version I installed also. But that was months ago and I do not recall clearly.

  @JaredBusch said in Redirecting feedback from Linux command: @Pete-S Pretty much what I do not want is the status bar from these two commands. fwconsole ma upgradeall fwconsole chown Well, use grep to match for the progress bar then. First output stderr to a file and look in the file. I don't know how the progress bar looks when it's output as a stream of characters. I'm guessing every update is something like 3076094/3076094 [===========>-------------] 60%<CR> In that case grep for every line that doesn't contain a [ followed by a number of =, > or - and finally a ]. So something like: grep -v '\[[=->]+\]' Or maybe even better: grep -v '\[[=->]{28}\]' Above assuming there are always 28 characters inside the brackets in the progress bar. PS. Funny thing but there seems to be a bug in the forum software. I had to use an extra backslash to get the above regex look right \[[=->]+\\] instead of \[[=->]+\] They look right in the preview though.

  @scottalanmiller said in Ticket versus Projects: @Pete-S said in Ticket versus Projects: Looking at Zoho One we're actually thinking about going all-in for real. Zoho One is a subscription that gives you access to almost everything Zoho has - Mail, Workdrive, CRM, Desk, Projects, etc, etc. It's $30 per month for every employee. We've looked at it, but the price just doesn't work for us. Even if we bought every tool that every person would ever use, we don't have a single user who comes up to the $30/mo price. Most are in the $3 range, so the gap is huge. Our core users are mail, workdrive, and connect. Beyond that, everything is unique to a role. Yes, I think it hard to come up in price for the common cheaper services and only makes sense when you have a high percentage of your workforce on one of the more costly things like Zoho Desk or Zoho CRM. The enterprise edition of Zoho CRM for instance is $35 per month. Enterprise edition of Zoho Desk is also the same price.

  So Free/Busy would work on a federated level and you can actually use the schedule assistant from another Office 365 account to see that however that is all you will get. That said the user will need to send an invite regardless. There is a Uservoice on this https://office365.uservoice.com/forums/273493-office-365-admin/suggestions/36486493-allow-calendar-updates-for-external-users There are other options like setting up a calendar in Sharepoint and external users can do that. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/create-a-team-site-in-sharepoint-ef10c1e7-15f3-42a3-98aa-b5972711777d?ui=en-us&rs=en-us&ad=us You can also use this enterprise app in Office 365 as well https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-bookings-blog/you-can-now-do-more-with-microsoft-bookings/ba-p/298461

  @Doyler3000 said in Reconsidering ProxMox: As regards moving to an appliance - I'm comfortable with KVM but I run our VM infrastructure mostly on my own. On occasions where I'm on holiday or otherwise unavailable, it would be helpful if at least a couple of others could administer the system (particularly backups). Totally makes sense. I'm the same. We have a much larger pool of people for ProxMox support than we do for non-ProxMox KVM support. It's nice to let the bigger pool handle general tasks. And the web interface is really nice.

I was just suprised when @Dashrender said they are free from Cloudflare I misspoke, I never meant that registered domains themselves were free. What I meant was free was DNS hosting and base level proxying from CF.

  @JaredBusch said in Recent 3CX experiences: Finally, there is no longer a pay once approach. You pay yearly or you lose your features. That's the real problem with 3CX, not the pbx itself but the company. They change their offer all the time. A while back the free version would support 24 simultaneous calls forever. Now you get the first years free but then it's just 8 sim calls. They had perpetual licenses and now it seems like they don't. You could also record calls in all versions but now they moved it to pro and enterprise. You never know what they're going to change in the next few months. So long term they are unreliable.

  @Pete-S said in How Many HCI Nodes for the SMB: But if you run a generic benchmark that is not designed to give inflated numbers, the situation is different. I don't run generic benchmarks in production for a living thankfully The reality is most CPU intensive stuff takes advantage of at least some of the new offload extensions and libraries. Also memory throughput is often the limiting factor for databases and other intensive IO applications.

  @DustinB3403 said in Powershell variable help: @Pete-S That is going to be complete subjective based on the type of spam that might come in. I follow what you're saying but I'm kind of stuck between having something functional or not (due to this). Well, you need to decide what you are allowing and not. For instance you have already decided to just use the subject line and not any of the other parts of the email, for instance author. You need to run the string through regex or something like that to remove characters you are not allowing. It might take more than one string operation to sanitize. I think you can escape any special character you want to allow with backtick `. Another option would be to allow the user to enter the entire KQL query themselves. Also if you get an error when trying to apply the search you put out an error "Invalid search input!" and go back to prompt the user for input again. That would be one way so solve problems.
