That looks good to me and works fine here.

Only thing that comes to mind is the file permissions?

@Skyetel Could Jared just call/email you and setup an account for his clients without this cell phone requirement?

@DustinB3403 said in How can I turn off auto centering in LibreOffice Calc?:

Do you have Column A locked so when you scroll everything else moves and A is hidden? Or is that filter on A only to find numbers etc?

It's just the behavior of a normal workbook. Nothing hidden or locked (from my experience anyway). If the column you want to edit extends off the right edge of the screen it moves the window to try to make the whole column visible.

Not that it's relevant really, but I don't see a way to turn it off in Excel either.

lol, Excel does this same exact thing. In the first pic you can see 3 columns left of column D. When he starts to edit Column D, it automatically shifts the window so you can only see 2 columns to the left. It's super annoying.

This would be like having someone who failed at being a hacker, like Kevin Mitnick, speak at a conference or represent you.

Shot at KnowBe4? People occasionally bring it up. It always seemed scammy to me.

Wondering do I need Facebook anymore?
Board of seeing the same posts all the time

I left FB sevearl months ago....I was disgusted with all the unpleasantness of things. It was the only avenue for keeping in touch with some people... but - I can't say I am unhappy with the choice the close / delete my account.

I disabled mine back in January and I don't miss it one bit.

I have no problem paying for QoL features, but pay to win pisses me off.

assuming QoL is quality of life - I don't know how that equates to these games?

But they have all been pay to win fast forever. You "not pay" to win in like 20 years.

Not necessarily these games, but, for example, I play Path of Exile, and there are no "microtransactions" for currency/extra damage/content, but you can buy stash tabs to store more items and organize things better. They also have microtransactions for visual effects (like flashy swords, etc.) and stuff too, but nothing that makes your character stronger.

There 4000+ in his sent box? and 4000+ in his inbox with rejections because he appears to be sending spam?

Yep. Looks like all to Russian email addresses. Looking like about 4000 total now that I'm getting into it. he had just over 1900 rejection emails in his inbox. So I'm assuming at least that many were sent.

The VP of our company had his email hacked over the weekend. 4000+ spam emails sent from his account and a return email for each one stating that Microsoft couldn't deliver because it was flagged as spam.

I don't even know where to start with this because I know he kept plain text passwords in emails to himself. It's looking like they just hacked it to spam people, but who really knows? It appears that they had access for about a week and launched the spamming Saturday morning.

He had over 13,000 things in his deleted folder, too... I'm thinking he was using that as an archive.

I have no problem paying for QoL features, but pay to win pisses me off.

This has to be the worst URL I've ever seen for a real business...

https://don-tacos-taco-restaurant.business.site/

That has to be hosted on some free platform that gives you those annoying URL extensions "with the free account".

How would anyone willfully pay for that domain?

Looks like a free Google thing

I love how all of your Mac related posts are pretty much just you talking to yourself

Doesn't Apple have any apps in their store that can play audio files (not in itunes)?
Don't they have file transfer apps in the app store?
Can't you transfer whatever files you want over usb to the iphone with an adapter?

No, No, and No. That would make way too much sense.

Veeam set up to back up to a Synology RAID 1 NAS with enough storage to meet your recovery point objectives.

Backup file destination should be password protected with read-only access for all accounts but admin and Veeam user.

A pair of NAS devices set up identically could be used to provide an air-gap for the backups.

A small single drive NAS/external enclosure could provide a similar setup.

StarWind Virtual Tape Library set up as a backup destination that can then trickle the backups up to BackBlaze would be one of the least expensive off-site/cloud solutions.

well said! thank you very much.

And doens't mean a damned thing because you never gave any actual detail.

That's your opinion, if Phlipelder is selling me a product. I already start discussing with him the details while the other sellers still asking for questions and doesn't seem to have an idea. I feel most of you guys have an idea but choose to do the "play hard to get" approach. Lol.

If this was anyone working for me, they'd be fired after they perform a full audit of everything they've done to date.

I'm not really sure you know what you are talking about? Usually an audit will compose of requirements > Audit > correction necessary based on last audit. There is no firing in the process. You could be referring to a different thing and it seems i'm on a different page as well.

He's saying that your approach to this is reckless. You're not providing important details of your environment or even wanting the best possible solution. It seems like you're looking for somebody to sell you snake oil. If you worked for him and he discovered your process, you'd be gone.

The people in this thread are asking for specific details because they legitimately want to help you find the best solution. If you want VM snapshots, there's going to be a different best product than if you want to backup databases... It's all relevant, regardless what you may think.

My boss once told me, if i cannot present my project in 1 page. Do not submit it or break it into multiple projects. When i get few questions and still not get any answer i felt i may need to scrap this one. But since 1 idea came up, i could work on the only idea i got. Make sense?

No, it doesn't make sense. Call Unitrends and when they answer the phone, simply say "backup Windows on ESX, with some databases" and they're going to ask you 20 more questions... the same thing we're doing.

Even getting "windows, ESX, and databases" out of you took 50 posts....

If I go the route of Plex, I suppose I could just load what I want on the iPhone / iPad for offline listening, and not have to deal with streaming over the Internet.

You could just run the plex server on your daily driver and only fire it up when you want to change the offline content on your devices if you aren't planning on streaming the content.

If you only want to host music, you could probably get away with a $2.50 instance on Vultr with 50 GB of free block storage. Of course that's depending on the size of your library. Wasabi could be super cheap also.

@marcinozga said in Linux users with iPhones / iPads:

I stream from Plex. And if I really wanted to put it on iOS devices, I can since I have Plexpass.

Am I right in assuming your own media is hosted on a Plex server. If so, where do you host your Plex server?

I do the same thing. I have an older HP server in my basement that I use for it, and other things.

I've been debating moving all of my storage to Wasabi and spinning up a couple VPS. I figure I could about break even saving the power costs of my older server, and be on WAY faster hardware in the process.

I feel like this conversation happens every 6 months or so...

Wave not being able to print checks is a deal breaker for a lot of people.
