@JasGot said in Best Plex player to use with a non smart tv or as a portable HDMI player?:

@NashBrydges I looked at these. The Rokus do not present themselves as a mobile device, so this means I cannot use the Plex SYNC feature. This wouldn't really be that bad if it had internal storage it can play from. Managing everything from Plex would be nice, but I wouldn't mind copying stuff to an SD card or USB stick if I needed to.

Do you know if any of the Rokus can play from local storage while offline?

No, you're correct. While I haven't tried, they are supposed to be able to play content from a USB connected drive. That being sai, if you're looking at Plex, I'm assuming you have a Plex server installed. I have my Plex server in the datacenter and I can play content from that server from anywhere in the world using my Roku device. No transcoding required from the Plex server since the Roku handles all of that heavy lifting. The only thing required is to make sure your outbound bandwidth would allow full feed of your video files via internet from your Plex server. If you want this to run like this, you'll need to expose port 32400 (or other custom port you designate) to the internet otherwise all playback is handled through the Plex.tv servers and your playback will be throttled to 2Mbps max. I've been able to play a 70Mbps 4k HDR10 video from a remote location at full bandwidth this way.

Found this which didn't help, but could be a useful reference in the future...

Yeah and that's about it. If you already work in any IT capacity, this won't gain you anything.

I keep trying to train to be a porn star, but no one lets me.

No one lets you what? train? LOL

Exactly

Seems I got it fixed 🙂

Netlify has a UI that you can build into your project. I haven't personally used them but they are a pretty popular static site host. From what I remember, the UI is just a single bit of javascript you add to your project.

Playing with Hugo today and I'm liking it a lot. Thanks for pressuring me to stick with it till I got it working 🙂

I got Hugo working well and set up in Azure DevOps so rebuild the site when I commit and push an update to the master repo.

I really like it. Jekyll was great too, but now I think I prefer Hugo.

This is what I do for my blog. Except it's built with a GitLab runner and it uses GitLab pages to present it.

Depending on the system, yeah, especially with certain kinds of operations.

Hi @JaredBusch, Thank you very much for your reply, I tested a same configuration on Friday and it worked fine with TFTP.
Now Im trying to configure this with HTTP or HTTPS.

Thanks again

You can use tftp if you want. It works just fine. My issue with it is the lack of security.

One downside to KVM (in virt-manager) is lack of snapshots for UEFI VMs.

yes it is.

It relies on systemd.

@Pete-S said in ASA 5516-X Intermittent Downtime:

On the contrary, it tells us a lot about the business needs. Since the business decided to call him in the middle of the night, someone decided the firewall was important enough for them to do that, instead of waiting until the morning.
Maybe nobody brought up the HA option when the firewall was put in place or the need wasn't there at the time.

That someone was willing to call to report an issue truly tells us nothing. I get called off hours about truly worthless things all the time. Just because one person thinks that they should call and knows how to call doesn't mean that someone has assessed value. But that someone didn't buy HA tells us that at least at some point, someone decided HA wasn't worth it. That might have changed, and maybe they were wrong even at the time, but that decision of HA or no HA was made and a design built around that.

The business isn't who necessarily called him, that denotes a key decision maker representing the company. All we really know is that someone working at a site decided to notify him. Fall all we know that was an intern who just happened to find his phone number. Or it was the CEO, we just don't know. That someone decided to call because they noticed something has to be taken with a grain of salt as we don't know who they were, or what they expected. Maybe they thought support was 24x7 and that it was their job to report things by phone whenever they happen. That's not uncommon and wouldn't give us any insight into the business' evaluation of the need.

@travisdh1 said in Camera to Web Services Connectors:

I think Western Digital made a portable HDD with a battery and card readers that would automatically copy anything put in the media card slot to the HDD. Don't know if they're still a thing.

They did, but that lacks the upload function. Getting stuff to an HD isn't an issue normally.

@popester Mostly, you are playing with 8 year old hardware. While it could be "fun" to be able to say you did it, what's the point?

@wrx7m said in Tool for Finding Rogue DHCP:

Ran into this about 12 years ago. A guy on the dev team decided to setup his own DHCP server. Screwed up all sorts of stuff. Can't remember for sure what we did, but I think after we realized that it wasn't actually an issue with our known DHCP servers, we decided to talk to the dev team and found out that is what he had done.

It amazes me how many people just don't think about it - they have a problem, they think they know how to solve it, and just slap something onto the network.

@Obsolesce said in Does ChromeOS make sense for a desktop?:

I don't use the desktop for shortcuts even on Windows. I don't see why it's needed. It's just a clutter space, it's so much easier to have the shortcuts on the task bar, or start menu... Windows Key + Search works great on Windows and Linux GUI

I honestly like using it as a scratch space for temp files. That said... ChromeOS doesn't have temp files in that way, so even my purpose for it goes away.

yeah, that's true. Since editing a doc is in a webspace - you don't have the choice to really save the file/data to the desktop as a scratch pad... so you just have to save it into the cloud - it forces better behavior.

Right, exactly.

@stacksofplates said in Any awesome paid linux desktop software out there?:

Depends what you want. ANSYS works well, is stupid expensive, and runs on Linux. But not sure how much CFD, acoustic, thermal, and mechanical engineering you're doing.

Most of the major CAD and/or CFD applications are available on Linux. Back in the 90s I got to deal with running them on IRIX and OpenVMS. Got into the window when everyone started switching to Windows as well (Pentium III era).

@DustinB3403 said in Unix Command line - Printer Details:

Here is the completed command.

lpoptions -p <NAME> | grep -o "printer-make-and-model='Your Printer make and Model"

That outputs the exact detail I needed!

lpoptions -p SHCSL_209_ColorPrinter | sed -r "s/^.*(printer-make-and-model.*)'.*$/\1/g; s/'//g; s/printer-make-and-model=//g"

This will remove all the unnecessary text, printer-make-and-model=, and the single quotes.

Yeah I'm also able to just use lpoptions -p SHCSL_209_ColorPrinter | grep "'SHCSL_209_ColorPrinter'" and get what I need in a single line response.

how long has systemname been a thing?

Seems to only appear in Debian/Ubuntu systems.

Let me get some clarification - is systemname meant as a variable - i.e. you put in the real system name OR are you literally supposed to put '127.0.0.1 systemname' ?

Actual host name

awww.. ok, then my question wasn't really needed...
Thanks! Misunderstanding on my part.

Well I'm making progress, I at least have nginx responding when I hit the page with An error occurred during a connection to 192.168.1.100:5601. SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.

Error code: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG

Why are you listening on 5601?

proxy_pass http://localhost:5601/; will redirect 5601 to 443

That is no longer in the file, I was testing with it. The below is current.

did you say you have Unifi APs? If so, what firmware?

I saw that too, thanks. I have all Unifi Ap-AC-Pro with 4.0.66.10822 firmware. I have the same experience with all firmware versions. I went back about ten revisions.

I've been having some network performance issues at home since upgrading to 4.0.69.xxx - though I didn't put 2 and 2 together until I was researching fixing my Cloud Key and ran into that thread.
