@JaredBusch said in Raspberry Pi-based KVM over IP:

I don’t understand how @Dashrender and @DustinB3403 are so dense.

This is a super basic concept that had a purpose before modern RMM tools.

As I said, I had one, not Pi based, in 2008 at a client.

When windows would not boot, they plugged it in to the computer and I had remote KVM. Done. BIOS, safe mode, etc.

What the hell are you on? I definitely see the benefit of these, both before and today (though WAY less so today), so don't lump me in with whatever shit you're flinging today. 🙂

Lynx, 1 tab open :face_with_tears_of_joy:

But why as root?

Root is the only user on that server, no need for any additional accounts.

@Dashrender said in A different mindset:

No, how do you make a Mac update Citrix without a third party tool?

Are you referring to a specific piece of software, like Citrix Receiver? If you had no other tool (brew.sh is the one to use by the way) you'd either have to use the App Store or download updates directly from the software provider's website.

Then I don't understand what you were saying about Windows requiring third partdy stuff - does does Apple by the sounds of it.

Apple, specifically doesn't if you want to use the App Store, but using a tool like brew is much more simple and straight forward.

@pete-s said in GDPR Requiring Centralized Password Management:

This is the GDPR. You can check yourself what it says. It's only 88 pages.
https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32016R0679&from=EN

Every countries in the European Union are required to make it national law.

Yeah, I've read most of it. But anything 88 pages is long enough to make creating FUD pretty easy to do.

Yeah, FUD is how the big boys make their money. If it's not fear, uncertainty and doubt then it's complexity. Make something that could have been simple, as complex and convoluted as possible so that you absolutely need lots of consultants and experts helping you. Which of course the supplier can offer. And finish of the cocktail of deception with a big chunk of vendor lock-in on top.

And here it is, subscription Windows licensing seen in the wild.

@stuartjordan said in Free RMM Tool Syspectr:

Just come across this RMM tool, has anyone heard or used it.
just giving it a whirl now, its developed by a company in Germany.

My only concern if it's truly free what's the catch? How are they paying for the Servers the clients talk to?

Its a marketing product to sell...

@momurda said in Practical jokes on fellow IT colleagues:

I bought annoyatron from thinkgeek and put it in a ceiling vent the day i left on a vacation.
Someone called me on my vacation to ask about the noise.

That was a bit self-defeating

Someone did the same thing at the last place I worked. Being a DoD contractor they went overboard and "thought they were being bugged". Needless to say that wasn't a fun environment to work in.

@travisdh1 You are sure right there

I have done this with Dashlane. Ive used it myself for years. A couple times I shared it with a friend for sites and passwords. It has a nice secure area for another layer to put stuff in. It has a desktop app and a nice phone app.

2012...ouch, scrap this one then....

@stuartjordan said in Remote Desktop Services & Lets Encrypt:

There is also one for Exchange as well:
https://mediarealm.com.au/articles/lets-encrypt-microsoft-exchange-installation/

Man, I just do not think I can trust all the pieces involved here to properly work together in an automated fashion.

Exchange is generally fine. LE is generally fine. The scripts are generally fine.

But any single issue with one will blow crap up.

I think it'd still be worth a look. It could work out to be a nice time saver to set it up once and not have to worry about it.

@thwr Points taken on board, thanks thwr 🙂

@stuartjordan said in Yealink T19PE2 FreePBX:

I personally like freepbx and will continue using it, the interface is a bit dated I must admit, but that doesn't bother me.

FreePBX interface is definitely dated. But also .... why would the interface ever matter that much? But even if it did, I've used 3CX and their interface was far worse.

@stuartjordan your sip domain contains your password.

sip:ext:[email protected]:5061

But not according to the windows interface. . . it should put the info in there. . .

F windows.

It's F#

I will be removing web mangement secure from accessing remotely once I have spoken to the consultant who this if for and enabled a dyndns update client, at least this will lower the attack service as well.

Its online supposed to be a "Cyber Monday" thing?

It will most likely be a 3-2 vote in favor of revoking the net neutrality rules. So we've got that to look forward to.

First computer I had was also the first I used. Tandy 1000. I played some mean Amy's First Primer and Commander Keen on that.

Gotcha - thanks for the feedback 🙂

@stuartjordan said in Fusion Pbx snom 300:

@scottalanmiller - I think I did add some tags Scott, did I type them in wrong?

You did add them, I modified them. You tagged "fusion pbx" but the product and the existing tag is "fusionpbx", no space. So you created a new tag that re-inforced this not being FusionPBX 🙂

When typing in a tag, look for the autocompletely list. This will tell you if a tag for that topic already exists and how it is spelled. We try to make the tags be identical to product names when possible. Often with manual clean ups. In this case, the list when you start typing "fusion" is enough to show "fusionpbx" and you can just select it. That way you know for sure that the topic is linked to the other topics that are related.
