@WrCombs The amount of time (read: money) spent on trying to fix this isn't worth it anymore. I am guessing a new computer could have been paid for shortly.

I seriously doubt it. Clearly there is nothing more pressing for @WrCombs to work on, otherwise the boss would have him move on - or drive out and fix it it right.

It's also likely that the customer is paying a monthly support fee, not an hourly one, otherwise the customer might complain about a $1000 bill to 'fix' a computer compared to wipe and reload.

Someone is paying him to do this. Since it is a maintenance contract, I am surprised that his boss hasn't intervened enough to resolve it.

@wrx7m said in NGINX vs Apache:

Does Apache have a paid version? I know that nginx reverse proxy is free, but the web server (at least used to be) a paid product.

Apache is totally free. Nginx is free for all normal purposes, it is advanced features that I've never even thought of wanting that are paid.

Ahh. Ok. I misconstrued those features as being the entire product.

@scottalanmiller said in Zabbix on CentOS7 - MariaDB or PostgreSQL?:

Both work just fine. Both are very enterprise. What you already run and are comfortable with will play the biggest role in deciding. Also, how big will this installation be? MariaDB shines for smaller installs, PostgreSQL really shines for giant ones.

Thanks for the info. It is definitely a smaller install.

@JaredBusch also said either would be fine and that MariaDB was a good choice because of the information available on it, due to the fact that everything that applies to MySQL, applies to MariaDB.

Does Apache have a paid version? I know that nginx reverse proxy is free, but the web server (at least used to be) a paid product.

Is there any preference when choosing a DB for Zabbix on CentOS7? I have seen people ask, "Which one are the admins most comfortable with"? If the answer is neither or either, does anything else come into play?

I've been using Sticky Notes between my Android and Win10 PCs.

There is a Microsoft sticky notes app for Android?

Google updates Android Auto design with new default dark mode

A bunch of little changes that should make Android Auto easier to use
Android Auto is getting a little refresh, as Google announced a new version of its smartphone-powered infotainment system ahead of the company’s I/O developer conference this week

I don't know if I want dark mode all the time, but it would be nice if Google maps (in Android Auto) would switch to dark mode when the headlights turn on.

@Phil-CommQuotes said in Provide Foreign Toll-Free Number to US Call Center:

@JaredBusch @wrx7m Hope I responded right but yes we can get Toll Free numbers a la carte anywhere in the world (well almost anywhere!). Mexico yes! Hit me up

Thanks to @Phil-CommQuotes (and to @JaredBusch for the referral)- He recommended TollFreeForwarding.com. We have setup a much less expensive Mexican toll-free number to forward to our call center.

@JasGot said in Joplin, an Open Source Note Application with NextCloud Sync:

For those of you that use it on your smartphones, do you really take notes on your phones? I just can't find it to be productive at all. I guess my fingers are too big, or i am just too old!

I do. I like being able to take notes, throw it in my pocket and catch up on my desktop later.

Do you use voice to text at all?

Like the ER-X, I don't get the point of the PoE pass-through. It is a silly gimmick.

Yeah, that is super weird.

lol - When you are out, you have to wait for the everyone to be out to play again. Ain't nobody got time for that.

@black3dynamite I tried that last week when I was sick. I think it would be good for kids. For me, it was pretty repetitive.

Looks like the ER‑8‑XG could also be a good fit if you prefer the EdgeRouter series over the Unifi stuff. Also slightly less expensive, and better performance.

And ordered... we should have it on Monday.

From the only vendor offering prime?

Does anyone have a recommendation for a monitor mount that can fit 3 monitors? I built a new desk for myself, and I have 3 monitors. I would like to keep the desk clean by getting a monitor mount. Any recommendations?

What size monitors?

24"

You should be able to find quite a few options for 24" monitors. Amazon has tons in different configurations.

WTF, UPS? I have a signature waiver on file and they didn't deliver my new exhaust for my STi. I don't think I can go pick that one up from the distribution center due to its size. Damn.
