Since I'm one the only 10 IT guys that doesn't have a 3D printer, I'm shopping for a rack mount kit for my gateway and controller. Easy enough to find on line, mostly on Etsy. Most are for the OC200, but I think it and the OC220 have the same dimensions.
I'm just looking for feedback from anyone who's already gone down this road, recommendations, etc.
We have an FS3017 running DSM 7.1x. We use it as an SMTP relay for all the copiers, the ERP reporting and so forth, sending the e-mail to O365 via SMTP auth. Since SMTP auth is on the track to be deprecated, we'd like to start using OAUTH to connect to O365, but the process for enabling that is eluding me. I have the OAUTH applet running in DSM, but no apps are registered to it, and there's no "add" button to create a new one.
We could change it to simply relay to O365 (we have the connectors already set up in O365), but we like that we can choose to use SMTP auth depending on the "sender". SMTP auth puts a copy of all the sent mail into the "sent items" folder of the utility account that we are using for items sent from our ERP.
Is it just Monday morning and my Google-Fu is failing me?
I bolted a new Klockwerks Flare windshield on my '22 Challenger this morning. I've only done a short ride, but I'm impressed and am glad I made the upgrade.
Background: I'm 5' 8", and usually rode with the windshield all the way up. Otherwise, I had more buffeting on my helmet than I wanted, and the wind noise kept keying the mike on my cardo comm gear, leading my wife to complain. All the way up, I was still looking over the stock shield. On advice from others, I ordered the 11" tinted shield (none of the other colors appealed).
Now, in the lowered position, the top of the shield is about where the stocker was when fully extended; I'll still looking over it. All the way up, I am now looking through the shield, if only by a little bit. All the way down, the wind buffeting and noise is lower that the stock was fully extended. Some people mentioned distortion; I looked for it and found the slightest bit on the new "wings" to the side of the shield, and a tiny bit where the flare kicks in. If I wasn't looking for it, I may not have ever noticed. as it is, in the lowered position, the distortion comes into play when I'm looking about 2 feet in front of the bike. That is to say, I'll probably not notice it again.
Installation was easy, just 5 bolts. BUT, it's he kind of job where one dropped bolt turns it into a 4 hour project. I stuffed rags down into the fairing to (hopefully) catch anything. My wife was in the vicinity and I had her help me during re-assembly. Two pairs of hands did make it easier.
Overall, well worth the money, at least so far. Ask me again in a year :)
Full disclosure, I'm not a Linux expert. 5/10, maybe.
For those of you using Linux on your PC / Laptop, I'm looking for feedback on the whether to use the SSL or IPSec VPN client. I've had mixed success using the SSL VPN with Kubuntu. Creating a VPN in the network manager GUI, installing the config file all goes fine, but when I try to connect, it prompts for credentials, then asks for another password. I couldn't figure out how to get around that.
I can get it to work using sudo to run OpenVPN with the necessary details on the command line. It also mean having to keep that terminal window open while I'm working. So, not a very high ease of use score.
Some Google searching leads me to believe that IPSec might be easier from an end-use perspective, but I thought I'd check with the experts here before diving into that too deeply.
Because I presume most linux distros are safe from these kind of shenanigans:
We're planning our next trip to Universal Orlando next February. Looking forward to exploring Epic Universe. My wife needs an ECV. Is it a safe assumption that Epic has the rental place right close to the entrance, like the other two parks do?
I'll also be looking for advice on rides; she cannot do roller coasters or any of the "motion" rides with a big screen and a car that moves around too much. For example at the other place, Star tours bad, MMRR good.
Anybody wanna guess how much they'll go up tomorrow (7/5)?
I want to get everything in my home converted to Linux. I usually work from home one or two days a week. This has been suspended for a short period, so I though it would be a good time to put Linux on my main home desktop. For the most part, installation went smoothly, but there's one glitch.
When working from home, I use RDS to connect to my work computer. That computer has two monitors, as does my home desktop. I need a Linux RDS client that supports two monitors, and there does not seem to be one. I used Remmina on my test home laptop, and it works really well, with the exception of not having multi-monitor support.
Google searching has not turned up anything useful; just AI results with instructions that don't match the available program options.. Did I miss something obvious, or is there a different client I could use?
Edit:
Running fresh installation of Kubuntu on a somewhat elderly 11700 series i7 with an nVidia 980GT GPU. Some searching shows that maybe the KDE environment is running under "weyland" rather that "X11", and doing a command line to force the issue might be the solution to the Remmina problem. (?)
Looking for feedback from anyone who is using a Synology device (any of them) and Surveillance Station for NVR/video surveillance at a site with > 100 cameras. Curious about how well it works (or doesn't) user interface, etc.
I have an Omen Max16 with the Ryzen 9 CPU. Looking to see if anyone has experience installing linux (preferrably Debian or Kububtu) on this model. Potential pitfalls, or other "gotchas" to look out for.
Like the title says, in the admin web page for our XGS2300, there are no stats for traffic, web sites, etc. Going to "reports", they are all empty. I checked the primary "lan to wan" firewall rule and it is logging traffic, but I'm not sure that's the real solution. I'm not getting any warnings about the log being full.
I'm sure there's some stupid check box I missed somewhere, I just can figure out where. We have an external syslog server configured, but it is running in parallel to the local & Sophos central logging.
Any advice appreciated.
Just returned from a 10 day stay at WDW with my wife and sister. First time in 47 years that sis and I were at WDW at the same time. For context, my wife uses and ECV, but can walk short distances. Also, we've been building cash back on our Disney rewards card for 10 years, so decided to spend money on things that we might not have otherwise. Because we're all a little older and don't feel the need to do all the rides in a day, we kept a relaxed pace, did not rope drop. Please reply if you have any specific questions or comments.
We stayed at Caribbean Beach Resort. It was good, but I probably won't go out of my way to stay again. We were in the "Martinique" section, which is what saved the experience for me, as it is closest to the Riviera and the Skyliner there. The rooms (2 queen beds) were nice, but not ECV friendly. The rest of the resort sprawls over a lot of territory and I think staying in any of the other sections means a long walk to something. The "marketplace" food/drink were good, but Art of Animation does it better, IMHO.
Day 1: Arrived at 9:30am, rooms not ready. Explored the resort, then went to Disney Springs. Drinks and lite bites at Jock Lindsay's, which was very good, and nice sitting on the water. To my surprise, I was able to get early dinner reservations at Topolino's. Second best meal I've ever had on a Disney property (stay tuned). A little bit of a transport screw up getting back to the resort, but it worked out.
Day 2: Epcot. We slept in after travel, so got a late start. Flower festival still good. We rode 3 caballeros, thanked the Phoenicians, and visited figment. We re-visited the short films near imagination, I always like that ("Feast"!) Some shopping, then dinner at Space 220. OMG. This one beat Topolino's. I don't care that it's expensive, I'm going back. Be sure to get the Black Hole Fashioned.
Day 3: Animal Kingdom & Magic Kingdom. Animal safari and bird show still great. New Zootopia show actually pretty good. My sister peeled off to go do the Avatar rides. Met back up for lunch at Yak & Yeti. Y&Y has leaned into a spicy curry based menu, so not as appealing to us as it used to be, but sill good if we chose carefully. Walked the jungle path. Sneaked over to MK because sis couldn't wait to see the castle. Rode haunted mansion, then back to the resort.
Day 4: Hollywood Studios and Epcot. Sis wanted to to rise and smuggler's run. As a single rider, she was able to do both with minimal wait. Same for Star Tours; I think she did that twice. Meanwhile, my wife and I did Runaway railroad and the Indiana Jones show. Drinks and noshes at Oga's Cantina. Great theming and good food/drinks, but frankly way too crowded, and too many under supervised children; probably won't re-visit. Rose and crown for dinner, and it was all excellent. I had the fish and chips, and think the fillets came off a whale. Bangers and Mashed were good, as was the meat pie.
Day 5: Epcot. Mostly walking around taking in the topiary and flowers. Some shopping, lunch at the Biergarten which we all enjoyed. A couple little bites from stalls, all good. Geo82 early evening for drinks and bites, and it was awesome. We should have lingered over one more drink to watch the fireworks from there, but I still had PTSD from fighting the crowd to get out a couple days before. We watched them as we were hiking to the skyliner.
Day 6: Rest day. Disney Springs to start buying souvenirs, pool, nap.
Day 7: Magic Kingdom. This is my & sis' home, so we did all the things. Some rides the ECV was allowed through the standby line, on a couple rides we were given return times that let us in through the fast pass lane. In other rides, the ECV was not allowed and my wife had to use a wheelchair to wait in line. Longest wait was Peter Pan (no surprise), at about 50 minutes. Others were 15-25 minutes. Lunch at Cinderella's royal table. Sleepy Hollow corn dogs for dinner (my favorite). Caught the new starlight parade, loved that the last float has music from the old Main Street Electrical parade.
Day 8: Hollywood studios & Magic Kingdom. Caught up on rides we hadn't done at either park. Sis rode RoR and Smuggler's again. Late morning arrival at MK, rode some of the OG things again, shopping, started using upo snack credits. Tony's for dinner, and it was as good as ever.
Day 9: Magic Kingdom. Diamond horseshoe for lunch, but not impressive. No show, same menu as liberty tree. The server told us it’s being shut down soon to make way for a Jessie meet-n-greet. Third time on haunted mansion, because it's my wife's favorite
Day 10: Epcot. B’fast with princesses at Akershus, not quite as good as I remember it but love watching the excitement of little kids meeting princesses. It was a little weird walking to it from the skyliner. We had early entry for breakfast, and everyone was headed straigh to Ratatouille. The upper end of World Affair was completely empty. Ratatouille (only 40 minutes), the land, shopping, back for packing. Sebastian's Bistro for dinner… very good
Some weeks ago, some here recommended Sebastian's Bistro in Carribean Beach Resort. We finally got there today (last day of vaca 😞) , and it was very, very good, and I thought reasonably priced for a table service dinner.
ESXi 8.x environment. Working on an Oracle VM that is having performance issues. The VM has 8 cores configured, which is sees as 4 CPUs @ 2 cores each. The vendor says it will run better if it was 2 CPU @ 4 cores each (??)
Anyway, I looked at the VM configuration and there's no longer the option to separate CPU and Core count, it's just "CPUs". Is there some advanced option to turn on to get that back?
