Yet another sad day. Must, train, more, Linux/UNIX sysadmins!
This is insanely basic, standard network knowledge, too. SFTP uses this too. How do people not know the most basic of networking!?!?
I know it's the small 1x1 (does one say so in English? Common saying here), but I still struggle with bringing together "IT Pro" and questions like this one...
BTW, really like the picture upload feature of NodeBB. Just figured out you can just paste a picture in your clipboard and it gets uploaded. So the process was like screenshot -> mspaint.exe -> clip image -> paste into ML new post dialog. Awesome.
Nice, I had no idea that that worked.
I've talked about it before (long time ago) in a thread in the platform section. It goes great with Greenshot and is how I post almost 100% of the images I post from my desktop.
Same here! Greenshot rocks!
I didn't get much out of it but it certainly has a lot of features!
I still use snipping tool for screen caps

D&D night getting going.

@JaredBusch I'm playing a deathwatch campaign currently but I think we will play pathfinder next

Best game night in a while. Decided to throw a young blue dragon at the party as they were guarding a caravan.
The dragon flew in for a strafing lighting breath and the barbarian jumped onto a wagon and then onto the dragon and then successfully grappled it, causing it to fall the rest of the way to the ground (it was only 15' up). The mage then dropped Evard's Black Tentacles on it and the dragon failed its save for that. The party then quickly slaughtered it.
Completely unexpected turn of events. It was awesome.
When I set it up, I expected the combat to have turned into an aerial event with the dragon strafing while the player characters flew (after the mage cast fly spells) around attempting to kill it.

Seems like I'm kind of oldschool here... ALT+PrintScreen works out of the box in most operating systems.

Well, flagged another question:
ISA was superseded by ForeFront TMG and UAG years ago which both are EOL with no replacement at all. IMHO, having a proxying frontend (Postfix, Exim, Courier or even sendmail) somewhere "outside" (cloud / off-site / DMZ) is way better than letting someone connect directly to your Exchange. Got roughly 10% bad answers overall at SW - and in 90% of these cases it's about bad questions.

And look, it's not a community question but one that SW commission from their internal staff.

Getting ready to go. We are hitting the road today to begin the process of getting back to New York.

Well,
I guessthat answers all my questions regarding quality control.
Just a matter of time before people will be asked about upside down ducks. -

Just a matter of time before people will be asked about upside down ducks.Yeah, having non-IT people asking "IT questions" based off of random Google searches and unable to identify obviously wrong or outdated questions is a problem. At least when the community does it you have the community to blame.

That's the point.

Narf, didn't pay enough attention when I just wanted to initiate a reboot.

Re-installing FogServer

Taking the kids to the playground for the final time.

Also waiting to talk to SKY to find out an ETA on my regrade to 70MB and if I can use the EdgeRouterX

The short answer is you may have to get creative, lol. My Father-In-Law's cable connection is locked to the MAC address of the device behind it. When I set up WiFi at his house, I had to do a mac spoof to make it play nicely.

That's pretty standard. Or used to be.

Morning everyone, I'm drinking coffee and updating remote systems this morning.

Yeah with the older service from SKY (Before FTTC) you could use Wireshark to find the Username and Password and that would work.
Need to wait until my regrade then have a play

Around here you just reboot the cable modem and it will accept a new MAC.
