Setup the way I show, Windows DNS still gets updated form workstations.

Good to know Windows is doing what it's supposed to do!

Thanks Jared

My wireless radio internet is 60ms, I pre-ordered starlink a couple of weeks ago.

Both CPUs and GPUs are very short in supply right now. At least the CPU prices aren't so insane as the GPU prices right now ($1000US for anything halfway decent).

@scottalanmiller I have tried to connect via virtualbox before but after the windows and linux setups the screen would just turn black so i resorted to qemu and followed your discussion but now it wont connect on ubuntu

This talks about

gpmc.msc is the correct tool to use. (gpedit.msc won't display the security/services items)

I'm building GPOs on the server so I have to use gpmc, gpedit will not build gpos.

That article is good, I've been heading down each rabbit hole it reveals, It may be leading me to the solution.

Thank you for the link. I'll report back with the actual link that worked if I am successful.

I just need the paging system to "ring" when a phone rings.

After much research and testing. I chose: gSyncit v5 https://www.fieldstonsoftware.com/software/gsyncit5

So far I am happy with it. It certainly resolved the sync issues I started having with Companionlink that they could not sort out.
It was the only reason I went looking for another option.

It's too bad they couldn't sort it out, I really liked the Calendar widget in their Android DejaOffice product much better than the native calendar widget.

So, our phones and PCs with any combination of Google Calendar (we don't use gmail) and MS Outlook are all in sync now (once again!)

Time to move to whitelisting instead.

You mean "Allow List " 😉

@Danp said in Need help with Autohotkey Windows:

@Pete-S Seems like someone already created the script for you -- https://www.computerhope.com/tips/tip224.htm

Edit: The above is based on this -- https://github.com/pmb6tz/windows-desktop-switcher

Thanks @Danp !

I had a look and it's complicated because you need DLLs and whatnot just to figure out which Desktop you are actually on. But then the script just runs Ctrl+Win+arrow to switch to the right Desktop.

So I borrowed that little bit but the rest went into the bin. I just run enough Ctrl+Win+Left_arrow to make sure I'm on the first desktop and then go from there.

This is what I have now (it assumes 8 virtual desktops present and uses Win+F1 to Win+F8 to switch between them):

#NoEnv #Warn #SingleInstance Force SendMode Event SetVirtualDesktop(DesktopNumber) { Sleep 100 Send #^{Left 8} if (DesktopNumber>0) { Sleep 100 Send #^{Right %DesktopNumber%} } } #F1::SetVirtualDesktop(0) #F2::SetVirtualDesktop(1) #F3::SetVirtualDesktop(2) #F4::SetVirtualDesktop(3) #F5::SetVirtualDesktop(4) #F6::SetVirtualDesktop(5) #F7::SetVirtualDesktop(6) #F8::SetVirtualDesktop(7)

Just run it in a container and none of this matters.

Pi-Hole's docker version was not a well done container 3 years ago when I implemented this solution. It was by no means a good idea at the time.

Well I just meant going forward.

That gets into different issues since Fedora went with podman. I haven't done much tinkering with it yet to see how compatible things are.

It's a drop in replacement. It doesn't use the Docker socket so you can't use things like docker-compose, but I don't necessarily see that as a bad thing. Any normal tasks should be the same. There's people who have said they aliased podman to docker and never noticed a difference.

@black3dynamite said in Ansible facts nested variable syntax preference:

Looks like Bracket notation is best choice instead of dot.

Bracket notation always works. Dot notation can cause problems because some keys collide with attributes and methods of python dictionaries. Use bracket notation if you use keys which start and end with two underscores (which are reserved for special meanings in python) or are any of the known public attributes:

Overlooked that in the documentation. While it's less efficient to type [' and '] rather than ., I'll live with it. 🙂

@dbeato said in Substantial OnPremise Exchange Vulnerabilities announced yesterday Patch Immediately:

@DustinB3403 Yeah, Exchange 2013 and over. You have to also be on the last 2 Cumulative Updates from Exchange 2013, 2016 or 2019. For 2019 You only can get the updates through Microsoft Volume Licensing.

Yeah, a customer attempted an update from 2016 CU15.1 to CU19, it errored out on the last step, they restored (bad move) and had some mail flow issues for a bit.

But they are back online now

Appreciate everyone's help. I may be posting more often, because I'm getting exposed to a lot of technology I'm not familiar with. LOL

Awesome

@Pete-S said in Adding 2FA to BookStack Wiki:

And if the client for instance use google for email (workplace) then they already have an SSO solution without needing anything extra.

They have no SSO source right now.

Updated Nextcloud from 20.0.7 to 20.0.8 today and the problem went away.

Not the answer, but an answer.

Going to give this a try tomorrow.

@JaredBusch said in Anyone using CrowdSec?:

This looks like a good tool. If it is performant at high volume that will be a huge improvment over fail2ban.

I am a little concerned about the global block process. But I assume they have that addressed someplace. I only read this page, nothing else yet.

yeah, that's what gave me pause too.

But definitely seems like a cool idea.

What I want to know is who's footing the bill for the centralized collection of these IPs and redistribution.

Here's one of the comments from that thread, not in the article itself

Select the program in the task bar Hold down the Alt key and press space. The window menu should appear on the border of the screen. If it doesn’t, the window is minimized. In that case, start again. Select ‘Move’ Press any arrow key. Move the mouse to position the window. Click (only) when the position is right

This is a standard process I use almost every day when connected to a desktop via ScreenConnect when the user has multiple screens. Because I don't want all of their screens filling up my view, I only have one active to me. The above is simply a normal way to "grab" a window that is on another "monitor".

Edit: I don't use ALT+Space because remote. but you can get the same thing by hovering over the preview and right clicking..

Once you hit move you get the cross hairs arrows.. but until you hit an arrow key the window is not hooked on to the mouse.

It can be shorted down to Alt+space M right_arrow. I make it a many, many times every day. Going from 40" to 15" has that effect.

I didn't know about Alt + space until I read about it today.

I've done that move thing before, but it's been years.
