      @jaredbusch

      For logistics, I would also place scheduled tasks that I created in their own task folder. Just like Microsoft and others have.

      That way I know the tasks in there is not generated by something else.

      One could also fix the description to say the source of the task. I get the appeal of placing them in their own folder nested somewhere in that mess, but it's so much easier to deal with them in the top level directory.

      I guess you could fix the name. But it's mostly misbehaving apps that put tasks in the top level directory. I mean Microsoft added the folder structure for task organization. It wasn't there in the old days.

      But yeah, it works regardless.

      Worth noting on this that while sync works, copy is the much safer option.

      So

      rclone copy source:/path dest:/path is what I'll likely end up using. In any case, the resulting solution still works.

      Still need to tweak OSX a bit as it seems to kill the SSH session after some time for sporadic reasons - still testing but I may end up having to add ServerAliveInterval 120 to /etc/ssh/ssh_config to resolve that issue.

      @Pete-S Using a bullet point in a damn folder or file name is not at all normal!

      Just discovered that someone on this forum was sending us files with bullet points in their names. But they are printable in our systems and cause no issues.

      What file system are you using, some of the bullet points I've found are for actually creating the blip noises on archaic systems.

      Don't know, our storage is a cloud platform.

      While I found where OSX stores the user printer preferences, but copying a "working version of preferences" to the user workstation and directory doesn't set the preferences.

      Still investigating. May require a restart when doing this remotely. . .

      Full system restart or just the cups service?

      Just did a full system restart and no change. While the plist file is there, and the user has owner access to it, the changes don't appear to take effect.

      Not sure why.

      Obviously the paths would change based on where they actually live and since I want this to live outside of an individual user, pointing to the user paths would make no sense in a production case.

      Also on WSL, if you go into /mnt you can get a list of all of the disks that are mounted on your Workstation/Server.
      In the case of my workstation I only have the 1 disk, so only c is listed. Severs would likely have other drives.

      I use Veracrypt.

      It's compatible with TrueCrypt but It uses his own encryption mode by default.

      @wrcombs said in Where did they come from?:

      When if first joined ML there were no spammers (at least to my knowledge) where did they all come from?
      Why do companies push their employees to spam and such on Thread websites?
      Sounds like a great way to push people away from you product.

      Because it costs them next to nothing to spam hundreds of websites.

      And it only takes one sucker to click through and make that phone call to earn a profit.

      Yeah, some quick math...

      A full time spammer can be hired overseas for $300/mo. That's a MONTH. And that's high, $200 is definitely plausible. All they have to do is join websites, post pre-written spam copy. Simplest job ever. They can spam maybe 100 communities a day. That's 2,800 a month. Out of 2,800 posts, it would take maybe an average of five "customers" to cover the cost of that for really cheap software.

      Easy math.

      This seems like a possible solution using time conditions. It would involve User 5, the floating user, to log in and out of the appropriate queue. Would also require configuring two queues and three ring groups, rather than one queue, and one ring group. On the positive side (for the users), Users 1-4, wouldn't have to do anything.
      0_1501857389933_fc549211-bd97-4081-8d1d-801f31c45458-image.png

      That is a decent flow with only a single user interaction needed.

      You can program a BLF for each queue on that users phone to log in and out of the queue, so they will have positive visual confirmation that they are in the queue or not.

      *451111*2222
      Where 1111 = Queue# and 2222 = Ext#

      I was testing this today. In order for me to get it to work, I had to make 1111 the extension number and 2222 the queue number.

      Maybe I typed it backwards? I did not log into a system to verify that.

      FFS what are you doing helping people 😛

      Jared's FreePBX words are so authoritative, I honestly though I must've had a config problem causing me to have to use his command backwards. 😄

      Yeah, I wonder where I was responding from that day.

      huh, that's weird.. by default OneNote wants to make you put it on OneDrive (at least it used to) so making it be local would require extra work.
