    • RE: Looking for a self-hosted file share tool

      @guyinpv I don't know if this could be contributing at all, but for your "background jobs" ajax is the default, I would definitely setup a cronjob to do this.

      https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/13/admin_manual/configuration_server/background_jobs_configuration.html

      EDIT: It almost certainly looks like this could be contributing, as the database cleanup relies on this.

    • RE: MS Licensing - 3rd

      @scottalanmiller said in MS Licensing - 3rd:

      SA for Windows 10, not SA for Windows 7.

      So confusing, it was also my understanding that SA doesn't apply to specific versions. SA applies to any Windows Desktop OS. Obviously when Windows 7 was the latest, the rules may have been different. But now, with SA, you should be able to install up to (4) Win7 VMs on a single piece of hardware

      At least when we were audited last year, we had this exact scenario and the auditor agreed with me lol

      What do you mean skip server OSes? SA and RDS CALs in this case would only be applying to the desktop OS, not the server.

      I meant it as deploying the W10 would be skipping the purchase of another server license

    • RE: Yanny or Laurel?

      I think the frequency response of your speakers also come into play. I only hear Laurel, period. The slider does nothing for me, but I know my hearing is severely damaged. My wife hears both depending on what speakers it's played through.

      Doh, you need a "specified number of uneven parts", not just a random assortment of numbers that equal your original number... Could easily modify this script to do that though

    • Multicast Paging Audio Quality

      We've been using multicast paging at our shop for about 3 years and have never had a problem until recently. The audio has been severely breaking up over the past week or so. I assume it's a switching issue, and I haven't had a chance to reboot my switch yet. Is there anything else that might be causing these problems? Any logs or performance stats to look at? Side note, I just updated my Ubiquiti Edgeswitch from version 1.0.1 to 1.7.1 about a month ago, maybe that had something to do with this?

    • RE: How can a split a number into unequal parts?

      Here's your script to specify how many numbers to generate

      #!/bin/bash
      echo "How many numbers to generate?"
      read -r quant;
      echo "Enter Number";
      read -r num;
      
      step="2";
      calc=$(expr "$num" / 10);
      answer=$(shuf -i 1-$calc -n 1);
      newnum=$(expr "$num" - "$answer");
      
      total=$answer;
      string="$answer";
      
      while [ $step -lt $quant ]
      do
      	calc=$(expr "$newnum" / 10);
      	answer=$(shuf -i 1-$calc -n 1);
      	newnum=$(expr "$newnum" - "$answer");
      	string="$string"+"$answer";
      	total=$(expr "$total" + "$answer");
      	((step++));
      done
      answer=$(expr "$num" - "$total");
      string="$string"+"$answer";
      echo $string;
      
      

      There is a chance that you could generate a random number right out the gate that's too large to allow the number you specified... you could just rerun the script and try again at that point

    • RE: Multicast Paging Audio Quality

      @jaredbusch Everything sounds fine if we call other extensions, it's almost certainly a multicast issue. I'll try rebooting the switch tonight to see if that clears it up, I was just trying to get a feel for if anybody else had ever experienced anything like this.

      I've been planning to migrate my Elastix install over to FreePBX for quite some time now, I've got everything setup on FPBX, just haven't had the time to switch everything over. Once I do that I'll try out the extension paging again and maybe get rid of the multicast completely.

    • RE: How can a split a number into unequal parts?

      @IRJ lmao that's intense. You must have missed the updated one. It asks you how many numbers to generate with this one. If the number you're using is huge you may want to use /dev/urandom instead of $RANDOM%, which I think can only generate a number as big as like 37,000 or something?

      @bnrstnr said in How can a split a number into unequal parts?:

    • RE: What are you listening to? What would you recommend?

      I'm not listening to this... but it is a pretty hilariously spot on review of Greta Van Fleet. If you haven't heard of them, they might as well be a Led Zeppelin cover band. They're from a city about an hour away from me and they've taken over all the hipster radios in MI, they're selling out huge arenas consistently, and I just don't understand the hype. First time I heard them I thought it was some previously unreleased Zeppelin stuff.

    • RE: Installing Hyper-V 2016

      I haven't done this in a while, and back when I did, it was best practice to not join the host to the domain. Which does make managing it far more complicated. It's always been my understanding that joining it to the domain would make managing much easier. I guess I'm still bitter about using that damn hvremote tool.

      And people who don't have insurance are actually charged these rates. Where as those who do have insurance get some massive discount.

      For tax purposes they might be billed this amount, but what people without insurance actually pay is often far less than what people with insurance pay total, including what insurance pays. (from my super limited experience anyway)

      No, looks like that was pretty old. I just updated and restarted. I'll monitor the memory for a while and see if that has any impact.
