I wanted to make sure I followed up and let you all know that we confirmed that there was no bug. There was a propagation delay that impacted @JasGot which caused it to appear that the 10 digit vs 11 digit input mattered.

@scottalanmiller said in Recover Deleted Items in Outlook:

If there is a way to know this, it would be from the email system, not from Outlook, and would be dependent on what the email system is and how it logs and so forth. But since emails in folders is ephemeral (they can move around all the time) it's a complicated thing to answer regardless.

Indeed. I always forget people attach outlook to non exchange servers.

You cannot see theirs, however!

@JaredBusch said in Tablet to send customers?:

Buy a laptop with cellular built in.

It gives you

full control via WTFever control app you want. Which lets you even start the meeting for them. the ability to locally record if needed. the ability to use any calling app you want. the ability to have them simply tilt the screen down so that the documents are in view.

Thanks Jared, excellent points, I'll urge them to go this route.

That looks fantastic. Do you have a build log or instructions that you followed?

P.S. Why is that deer looking at me?!

We looked at some examples and then followed our noses. https://magicmirror.builders/

You could play some nice "ghostly" tricks on unsuspecting visitors with that setup. 🙂

Thanks. This was it. But suddenly, it's not enough of a frustration to go without audio! Go figure.

Also does your use have an NVidia Video card? If so, they can get this.

@JasGot said in Need help for argument with Comcast:

Comcast says they will provide a one time credit for the charge IF the customer does a full reset of their VoIP setup from Comcast, and the end Customer's IT must do it.

How do they do this, given that they didn't even offer this previously?

@scottalanmiller

I think you need to have mitigation plans for key man not just for the longevity of your company and your heirs, but I've been asked more than a couple of times if we have plans in effect in case God forbid, that I catch this and fall over. Yes - its very important for employees and clients that you have a proper succession plan in place and I've had some conversations about that already in light of what all is going on. Then realized, I should have done this long ago ... what happens if I get hit by a car crossing the road ... things need to proceed and a plan needs to be in place.

Romo is my key man replacement. He'd need to hire more people to assist with capacity problems, but key functionality would not be disrupted.

@JasGot said in Casual and open discussion about how certain addresses are targeted for hacking.:

It's a brand new Wordpress site at a new server for a domain that has been active for 20 years.

But only the site is new, the URL is old.

@Pete-S said in Public Web Meeting Options:

I'm thinking about setting up Jitsi on one of our colo servers.

It works great. We have one, too.

@JaredBusch said in ? Need help getting Postcards from Skyetel working........:

when not fully setup to be agnostic and fully contained correctly, docker sucks as a deployment solution.

Exactly. It CAN be an amazing tool, when used correct. When not, it is a train wreck.

TL;DR: Docker is a tool, not the solution.

If you can limit a client to just one IP and just tcp 3389 in your firewall that should be enough.

Disable shared drives or the user is able to infect the work pc with files from his home pc.

Typically when we connect with VPN to enterprise networks to do work on certain servers or what not, we get a static ip and then they have firewall rules to determine what IPs / ports we can reach. So yes, the computer we use is on their LAN but only through a very small and restricted opening that just allows RDP to just the one server we need to access. Everything else is blocked.

@JasGot said in Nextcloud Talk 8:

Is this normal in other VC applications? Clicking off the page will end the call?

Leaving a web page ends the app in that page? Yes, it's 100% universal. Just how web works.

It didn't occur to me until I read your remark that they meant browsing to another url in the same browser tab. When I read it, I thought they meant clicking to another application running on my computer. It all makes more sense now.

@krzykat said in Postcards for SMS by Skyetel.:

@JasGot

Have you checked your LE credentials to see that its working properly?

Not sure how. The only sign of LE I can find in the OS or the Docker is a file called letsencrypt_services_data
I can't find a conf file or a binary to do a manual run of LE.

ZeroTier on both devices and use RDP.

@JaredBusch said in VoIP Services and AUTO TOP-UP prepaid billing.:

it is usually open provisioning servers

Would this be a server that is not using whitelists for access?

A place I used to work for used a mob called Kronos.

It's the capability of the device to be hot-swappable. Purchasing one then adding another for some other time for a proper set-up is possible.

It's super simple to take a closet for example and put a vent near the top of the wall to let heat escape.

Not if you don't have that closet, the vent would let in hotter air, or you don't have outside access from a closet.

Of course, if you physically don't have any space, then using this example doesn't make sense. The question really is "at what point should a business start looking at different form factors (from the desktop style)?"

It ridiculous to even think there is no space for a rack. Unless someone runs a company out of their bedroom. A rack takes what, 5 square feet?

Ha. yeah I get it I totally do. And you can get a rack for pennies on the dollar if you are really looking.

Cost of the rack isn't the issue. Space to put it that is safe, clean, has power, central to the cabling, can be cooled, etc.

So, not here-

I see that as a productive use of extra space!

You could even hang a 1/4 rack above the toilet to help get things cleaned up and organized.
