RDP to a desktop near the share would be another option as well. Though performance could still be bad.

No that isn't an option...

Why not?

Because they are sharing. How many RDP are you going to set up?

You could do an RDP Gateway and just have a single outbound connection.... but it's really not ideal, RDP isn't the fastest or lightest protocol.

Did you get a new job? I thought you were working as a custodian or facilities maintenance last we talked.

Keep some sort of AD authentication, or not?

Not likely. What purpose would it serve?

Managing SSO accounts with other SaaS services

AD is complete shit for connecting to SaaS, though.

That's true without WSO2, Shibboleth, or ADSF it's complete shit.

Cold and rainy here in Houston

Man it was effin cold out here this morning too! I think low 40's.

Supposed to be low 70's during the day, but it sucks going out to your car at 5:30am. I had to do the first part of my Gym workout outside.

Boohoo.

It was 8 degrees Fahrenheit just the other day here.

-1 when I leave for work two days in a row.

@gjacobse said in Termius cross platform sync:

Just about everyone has use PuTTY at some point. Sadly though, it's not 'cross platform'... From what I have saerched and found - the session history (saved session) is saved in Windows Registry.. Not exactly easy to get to or back up.. is it possible - of course. just not easy - and if you forget,.. frustrating.

Have you looked at mRemoteNG? The settings files are saved to your local user profile so you can sync and back that up.

It does use Putty in the backend so any Putty specific settings you use will get lost.

Playing with Zabbix and SNMP stuff

Also wondering how to monitor/analyse a SQL Server performance?

Is very handy tons of pre-configured templates.

I've recognized an IPOD and witnessed it play out.

In the end the business decided it made more financial sense to put 200 VMs in Azure.

This is for a TV station cloud simply isn't an option to run this stuff unfortunately.

My point is that putting a bunch of VMs in Azure is a pretty expensive solution, but dealing with an IPOD ends up costing the business enough that the cost is acceptable.

The other solution is to not design an IPOD.

Trying to figure out why our web application throws an error when talking to Redis that's running on CentOS, but works fine talking to Redis that's on running Windows. Methinks it has to do with the fact that Redis on CentOS is 3.2.10 and Redis on Windows is 2.8.19.

Make a new thread and include the error.

Cambium used to be Xirrus IIRC. Xirrus was really cool but really designed for a high density.

@JaredBusch said in Recent 3CX experiences:

Has anyone used the current version of 3CX in the last year-ish?

I was recently talking to someone that likes the system and was curious.

I have and assisted with managing it. It's... ok. It has a decent GUI and can now run on Linux, which it wasn't when I was working with it.

Obviously we should never use Microsoft technologies again.

I have a colleague that came to me and said so I know this company is using http://insided.com/ but that costs a forture. What do you suggest as an alternative for a community tool that can handle feature request voting and general product discussions. These two came to mind but I have never used them.

Thoughts on how they stack up to each other?

Discourse is far superior hands down, especially in a business setting.

Yeah, I'll agree here. NodeBB may be slightly faster but the functionality of Discource far outweighs that advantage.

@wirestyle22 Haha free time.

@coliver said in Suggest a simple free / open source Network Monitoring software.:

I agree with @notverypunny. Zabbix is very easy to setup and use. It has a very small learning curve and has templates for almost everything you listed.

We use Zabbix. But it's not all that easy.

For all the basic stuff, hardware and OS monitoring, it is really easy. For some advanced things (and software) you write a lot of your own scripts to accommodate those. I've written quite a few small scripts to monitor some of our software applications.

@openit said in Suggest a simple free / open source Network Monitoring software.:

For switch, the following is the configuration, I mean it is on SNMP.

Following is info that I can see for it:

Is it possible to pull info every port of switch, just like Spiceworks Networ Monitor used to do? If yes, what template I would need to use or any config? Most switches we have are Cisco SG300.

Yes, Cisco and general SNMP templates can be applied to the host and it will start to pull in information if you configured SNMP correctly.

It's not the callers fault someone died. It's the ill-trained police jumping in throwing bullets around.

Why didn't the police just shoot everyone and anyone around him and just say... "well that kid shouldn't have pranked us, it's his fault"... same thing.

And what if it wasn't a prank, but they just got the address wrong - even when these things are real they require way more verification than an anonymous phone tip. Or the shooter sent out a hostage instead of coming out himself? Bottom line, the cop murdered a completely innocent guy based on nothing. Imagine if any other job operated like that.

Sadly nothing will come of this. The officer will go on paid leave until the press dies down and the PR will be spun to place the blame on the caller and not the cop that pulled the trigger.
