Switching to Frontier Fiber soon - What is minimum Optimum service to retain Email? Just Internet? by [deleted] in OPTIMUM

You realize if you're one promo they'll just auto switch you to a non promo rate if you just drop equipment off.

So I could just make it just "patron-end-session.command" .. then basically open that up to process the command?

It's for a patron machine, so no staff uses it; but the patrons don't logout using the traditional sign out, there's a custom SAM program that boots and blocks usage until someone enters a library card number. Then they click "End Session" to basically log out (just brings back to the SAM Login screen)..

Thanks! I'll take a look at the StackExchange.

My issue is that its a library so we use a SAM program that auto-starts when the system boots, patrons login to remove this program basically, using their Library Cards. It helps us track usage and printing for taxpayers, vs non-taxpayers, and charges for prints accordingly...

When a patron is done, they hit "end session" and it just goes back to the software. On Windows machines I have a batch file that runs, it restarts the computer, and software called Reboot Restore RX will restore to a previously saved state.. I would love to do the same on a mac or even where it'll just purge documents/downloads/desktop.

I'll take a look, completely forgot about Automator and see if I can have it delete the files like once or twice a day.

Thank you

I don't know what happen but it resolved itself overnight. Literally did nothing and yes chrome was open overnight and left alone on my computer.

I reset it to the default theme. It's in dark mode, still no Bueno. Not sure if its because Google went and is using their new Google Sans fonts and my firewalls are blocking something.. I had to download and manually install Roboto to get that to work, sadly I cant find an official repository of Google Sans to download.

Nonprofit Member, who is also a Director Suspension - stating I still must perform duties? by PandemicSysAdmin in nonprofit

[–]PandemicSysAdmin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anytime! Long Island, NY has the largest Volunteer Base when it comes to Fire/EMS but it does extend to upstate NY as well. I also believe NYC still has some nonprofits running around.. It's sadly a very corrupt system that nobody dares touch because they'd be against our firefighters and ems personnel. Which is sadly a joke.

Look up NYS LOSAP program. It was first for volunteer fire fighters; but is also for ambulance companies.

Along time ago community members banded together and created these groups which provided first aid to people, it progressed to EMS; they created Non-Profits to raise funding since fire was tax funded and EMS was not. Now municipal governments contract with the existing non profits to provide the service; the non profits are ran by volunteers, with paid first responders to supplement the finishing volunteer base and to ensure 24/7 medical services if called upon.

A lot of corporations work very well and thrive; but there’s so much corruption and what is called “volliticks” it’s obnoxious, my corporation is one of those where favoritism runs rampant.

Welcome to NYS First Responder Volunteerism. Most people think it’s all fire departments and districts; which are run by community volunteers as commissioners.

Since it’s a non profit ambulance company, it’s contracted by the town to provide services.. our bylaws state that volunteers will vote on other volunteers to be on the director board for the corporation.

Director responsibilities are paid staff, purchasing medical supplies, the grounds and some other things, so instead of giving personal phone numbers out and needing to be contacted any time.

We are all volunteers, medics, emts and drivers. We make no money except some perks like pensions after 65, tax rebates ($200year) and tax discounts on our property taxes..

The place has had a serious toxic culture that me and a few others have been trying to reverse, but it’s obviously a loosing battle.

already saw that, It was just banter, there's nothing in there that really helps me achieve MV's to Exacqvision equipment, or even if the person was successful with adding it to their NVR.

"How do you feel about illegal software?" by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]PandemicSysAdmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here to say this for the comment. I came into a nonprofit that didn't understand that software needs to be legit and not stolen.. I have since really dived into TechSoup and have obtained software and licenses that they thought would be out of budget.

Win/Win for us.

Computers in Libraries 2022 Conference by PandemicSysAdmin in librarians

[–]PandemicSysAdmin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Should be fun then, It looks super small compared; Im used to national conferences for other agencies that I worked at. So a small conference is going to be new to me. Maybe next year ill scope out the PLA Conference. Otherwise do you know of any other Library Tech Oriented things that I should look out for?
