$260 will get him everything listed.
Link?
At Microcenter I got a 16GB, SSD Drive, i5 setup a few months ago for my son, $260. I missed the i7. All of it was clearance/sale stuff. But I cant imagine needing anything faster.
Magolassi needs a beer money feature, truly.. thanks!
Man I can’t wait to try this, so many ER out there in the wild.
I haven’t even looked at the beta yet. Do your deploy your own server like UniFi or is it their cloud?
I just dropped Hulu and Directvnow for YouTube TV. It's unlimited DVR and live TV is the best, and I've tried Sling and all others.
I use Netflix and part of the year HBO Now and it covers everything.
Plus we use google music family for $14.99/month.
This gives us 6 accounts for music and YouTube red. When I added YouTube TV everyone on my family plan got it added to their login.
So now my dad has YouTube TV and mom can record her NCIS.
Has anyone here tried to use Jump Cloud with an RDSH deployment? Is it possible?
I am about to just deploy AD and then RDSH on the same virtual server then sync to Office 365 to suit my needs. It is supported by Microsoft (will link support articles if you don't believe that) and for a 10 to 20 person office I think it will do fine.
When installing RDSH it only says you must be part of a domain, not AD particularly. There are instructions from Microsoft to run RDSH in on a server in a workgroup, but there are too many holes in controlling the user desktops for me.
So I thought I would ask. I have googled around for JumpCloud with RDSH but nothing has turned up.

You roll your own.
Thank God. I saw there was going to be a container/docker version.
It is designed to be a docker deployed unit.
Is it really 2gb required? Was pretty sured I deployed Unifi controller on a 1gb server.

Last night i watched Baby Driver and The Final Master.
Baby Driver was meh, could have just cut out the first hour of the movie.
Final Master was pretty good.
Was really disappointed in Baby Driver. I didn't know it was gonna be 1/4th a modern musical.
@scottalanmiller Since I'm in testing phase, and because the logo is basically a photo of a drawing, I am going all in...
I am pretty much apolitical these days, and particularly unbiased when it comes to these kinds of things, since I have been in the local ISP world for over 15 years. I have been watching Pai, and have mostly been excited about what he says and what his plans are.
I also always thought NN was bullshit, based on speculation and phantom issues that did not exist. More specific legislation could have addressed issued like throttling, one of the guises the NN supporters used to bring this into effect. It just wasnt a well crafted law, and was widely open to the kind of abuse that would reduce competition.
These are my thoughts, and I am not so stubborn that you couldnt change my mind if I feel you have read and presented a good opposing argument.
1.) You are going to get billed $50 (or whatever) a month from your ISP to stream netflix or get your file sharing throttled again
Pai has said they are going to monitor ISP's and create specific legislation to address it. Basically the guy is ready to do his job, not pass blanket BS legislation that applies archaic telecom laws to the internet.
2.) Small ISP's are going to be supressed
Small ISP's or regional carriers never buy access from Big Telecom. There are hundreds of local access interconnects and Tier 1 providers you've probably never heard of that specialize in this.
Further NN offered nothing to protect small ISPs or promote any kind of growth or competition or reduction of easements.
3.) Your privacy is now at risk
By removing the Title ii application (again, from the 1930's!) the FTC is getting back its authority to regulate data privacy. Something that Title ii removed and failed to assign to the FCC.
4.) Ajit Pai is a (insert explitive)
If you know anything about Tom Wheeler at all, and have listened to him or Pai talk, no right minded internet loving engineer would take Wheeler over Pai. Basically Pai is a guy who is ready to do a great job, serve internet users, and gives fuck all about politics. He wants to be around for a long time, and has been around for 20 years already in the FCC
Pai wanted to repeal NN so that he could monitor competition and focus on introducing targeted/modern legislation to prevent things like surcharges for fast Netflix streaming
Pai wants to remove easements, another topic we have discussed here that prevent old infrastructure investers (big internet companies) from seeing new competition in their markets. He has visited ISPs like Rocket Fiber in Detroit who are getting fucked by the city on pole access and is preparing new legislation to address the major slow down in infrastructure investment
Do you remember when mobile carriers complained earlier this year about T-Mobile streaming and how it violated net neutrality as they weren't paying for data? Pai told them to pound sand, its good for competition and its good for the end user. They wanted to use NN to reduce competition.
Regardless of your political affiliation and ideas this guy wants whats best for the internet, I can't find a single thing he has done that I disagree with.
@wrx7m said in YouTube TV:
I would really like a la carte pricing. I don't speak Spanish, so why would I want at least 2 Spanish only channels? This is one of the biggest problems with traditional TV providers; a whole bunch of crap channels I don't want, in a bundle with some I do want.
If you compare to something like DirecTV Now you are getting the $50 package for only $35. So far what they bundle (like spanish) doesnt appear to result in any upcharge at least.
Interface on Android TV and performance is best by far though.
I checked and I guess its XBOX versions that are getting the app first. I do hope it comes to Roku though.
I only have a Android TV because my wife and kids got me an 85" Bravia for my birthday, something I would never spend money on myself. Roku stick and off brand TV's are good for me.
Its been a while for Windows Server and me, and I have never been a pro. I have a VULTR instance that crashed today and I see to remember you used to be able to get a memory dump (whocrashed) from C:\windows\memory.dmp or something of that nature.
Hoping some Windows 2016 expert will have some insight into the current tools to figure out why it crashed. Its running on VULTR so I opened to a ticket to see if there was any issue. I doubt it, its probably me. Just trying to do some investigating...

There was NO speed change here - at least not that I'm aware of. What you did have affected by CHOOSing to use the codex is that use of codex would NOT count against your data pool, nothing more.
So you get charged for some things but not others. Are you not seeing how this is EXACTLY what we want NN to stop?
I see this as a billing advantage in my favor... instead of somethign against me.
That's the illusion. You pay and they decide which things get priority and which don't. It's never in your favour. Remember the discussion with Mike... in the end, the customer pays. TMobile decides which things you get faster or more of, and which you get less of. You never actually pay less, they just are saying that to make it sound okay.
It's not about paying less, in this case it's about getting more. before this free if codex thing.. my 2 GB plan would give me lets say 1 hour of streaming... now.. I can use that 2 GB for whatever.. and I can stream unlimited, as long as I use the codex.. I am way ahead.
So to reword this...
If all entertainment and news that support one political view is unlimited with your payment, and other entertainment and news that supports a different view is charged overages if you see it, you are just fine with that... because anything one thing is "unlimited" even though you've paid for it, you see it as a bonus regardless of the fact that a private company controls all decisions about what you get with your payment and what you don't?
No video provider has to pay and all video providers are allowed to join. So this arguments is not the same.

2.) Shows we watch on FX, AMC, NBC etc (Walking Dead, The Voice, Modern Family, Mr Robot (theres at least 20)
I only have Netflix and Amazon and I have the Walking Dead, Modern Family, etc. Definitely not The Voice, thank goodness, no idea about Mr Robot. Network shows that are good enough for Netflix to want, they get. Just because it's also on a network doesn't mean you won't get it some other way.
True but they are a season behind at least. You can buy them a day after but that adds up.
The Voice is a wife favorite. Its tolerable. I usually work while she watches it in the background.
@coliver said in Twilio as a SIP provider:
Can you explain 60/60 vs 6/6?
From the sound of it you get charged for a full 60 seconds whether you use the entire thing or not. 6/6 sound the same but only for 6 seconds?
In telecom the first number is the minimum number of seconds you will be billed for the call. The second number is the minimum increments you will be billed in seconds for the remainder of the call.
As a CLEC or wholesaler you will see a little of 6/1. On the retail side Origination (even Flowroute) is 60/60 where there outbound is 30/6.
For retail Twilio has the best origination deal you will (.0045) find and Telnyx has the best termination I have seen.
Wholesale requires minimum monthly commitments and at least 1mmou (million minutes of monthly usage). In wholesale we mostly LCR through providers that do not provide 100% guaranteed call completion. With Twilio on wholesale you can get down to .0025.
My favorite link I can’t post here because it linked to pornhub and was titled “Hot Indian fucks entire world” and was a link to the FCC broadcast of the NN live broadcast.
It was so funny I almost wished I was on the other side of the argument. Lmao.
When I quit Time Warner I had to hear it every day about how weird our life was without Cable TV, lol. So at this point I feel like Youtube TV is perfect iteration of Network TV over the Internet.
I dont think anything is going to catch up or beat Google on this. But you never know.
I gotta ask.... Has anyone ever even heard about a major virus that spread through the internet, attacking and penetrating your everyday routers and basic firewalls? And DPI/SPI is not worth much if you aren't configuring your router to do anything with that info.
Let your firewall/router do its job and if you need more features it falls to a proxy server or outside service like webroot.
I much preferred M0n0wall to PFSENSE, but since Manuel is busy doing other things everyone had to move to PFSENSE. I disagreed that the project had run its course.
A Palo Alto device is not for you if you are posting these kinds of questions. And that's not a slight to you. PA customers have specific issues (like being targeted for attack) that brought them to pay that sticker price.
Sonicwall MAYBE was a good option 10 years ago. 99% of your SonicWALL guys use it because they have been using it for 10+ years and you cant really argue with them about it. Its familiar but it offers zero real benefits over a Ubiquiti Edgemax.
Your Ubiquitui USG can tie into a Unifi controller you could host on Vultr. So you get a self hosted Meraki experience. Last I evaluated USG had some bugs vs Edgemax so I can only speak to the latter. I would assume those issues are resolved by now. @scottalanmiller or @JaredBusch would know.
@momurda said in What Net Neutrality Means to You SAMIT Video:
I would like the Anti NN people to show an example of FCC abuse or censorship of phone calls during your lifetime, your parent's lifetime, your grandparent's lifetime.
@bigbear @dafyre @PenguinWrangler
Just one please.
If you cant do that, youre making your decision based on some vague fear, and as you should know, Fear is the Mindkiller. It prevents you from making rational decisions.
Have no idea who is saying whatever you are saying, everyone seems to be picking talking points and working backwards from there.
This is how I directly experienced the debate and sudden escalation regarding Net Neutrality and De-Regulation working in the ISP world. Not a well thought out essay,just honest things I remember and thought about over the years.
2000 to 2010 - The FCC and Government has fucked us for years with the very things people here complain about that cause of lack of options and competition.There is a general interest in a Net Neutrality concept that has a lot of pro's and cons, but also a greater interest in getting Fiber speeds out there and getting rid of the regulation that are making it impossible or to bureaucratic to accomplish.
2010-2013 The government continues to resist de-regulation, so we still have limited local ISP options and legacy easements that keep very small players from growing into larger players. Obama somewhere along the way half-handedely pushed a couple laws through that Wheeler struck down, which shocked everyone in Wheelers own political camp. So then there was a sudden race to design and cram regulation into law begins.
2013-2016 Because the government treats the ISP market this way they have big internet companies doing scrupulous bullshit and rather than prosecute the FCC decides to take control of the internet and to declare it a public utility instead of getting the hell out of the way. Suddenly the whole country, who has not a clue what they are cheering about, is snowed into thinking the FCC is the hero they had been waiting for. Whatever, this law changes nothing. Now everyone can start paying and reporting to the FCC, oh yeah and the FTC no longer can offer consumer protections and data privacy oversight for end users because NN strips them of that. And guess what, no one new is assigned to do it either.
Google lobbyist heavily promotes the current "NN" law. In this time frame Google privacy czar abruptly resigns with no explanation.
2017 - Well meaning citizens who believe everything they hear find out something they MIGHT have heard of called "NET NEUTRALITY" is at risk. A law that has no impact on the rest of the world, but damn it if the world isnt about to burn. Oh and suddenly everyone who has never filled out or even read a single FCC form is a legal telecom scholar.
People are up in arms about all the bad things that "could happen" and laughing at everyone who is countering with "well here are all the bad things that could happen if we don't" saying that WE are afraid??
EDIT: Probably no one will read the whole post, or most of what I have posted. I am just sharing my honest thoughts and recollections here. I am open to changing my mind, I am not a telecom lawyer and I am just recounting things as I recall them from my little perch watching the world.

@bigbear said in YouTube TV:
There are some shows I just couldn't bare to wait a season on, ...
I've never understood this feeling. You don't wait any more doing it that way than you do getting it delayed on Netflix.
Some shows are more fun to take in weekly, discuss online, watch theories. We have a Walking Dead party group for example.
Other shows, like Modern Family and The Voice, you are never going to see except for Hulu. NBC execs are crazy. So $35 on Youtube TV saves me $12 on Hulu. Now I am only paying $22 more without considering the many other benefits.
I did manage to get Windows 10 Home Edition running as a kiosk RDP thin client. $179 for a Windows Minix, no add-ons or hacks.
All was done in the registry. I will post later for reference.
Considering it has a legit Win10 Home license you could consider it a $79 fully capable RDP 10.2 thin client.
I'm still surprised at the lack of Linux based RDP 10 solution. FreeRDP has really fell behind. RDP 10 or even 8.2 is a significant improvement over previous versions.
