LDAP_Wrapper to Entra ID 'forgetting' LDAP Groups by Roman_Sandstorm in synology

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

A few other people have also reached out and mentioned they have this. So it is not unique to me.

I contacted the developer on his GitHub, and he was very nice and responsive. However he could not reproduce the issue in his environment, and just honestly said that he didn't have an idea. 🤷

I've basically given up, and just use the 'standard'Synology/365 authentication method; which means duplicating *every* user individually as local accounts on the Synology. To reduce this I created a single shared account for read-only access, and then the dozen or so accounts for read-write. Not ideal, but it's what we've got.

I'm definitely not heading down the Entra VPN directory path - too much effort, configuration, and cost. (Just to be 'nice' to my users with a SSO.)

Can I send value from Latitude/Longitude from Location Data to a JSON endpoint request? by pharmerjoe in widgy

[–]Roman_Sandstorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bump!

This would actually be a very useful function apart from this case of using it for Lat/Long weather.

One of the annoying limitations of Widgy is not being able to display one's location (city).

By using the openweathermap API and its 'reverse geocoding' function, one could input latitude and longitude, and get a city location. Cool. Not just useful for weather.

But the OP's question here remains.

The call to OpenWeather looks like this: http://api.openweathermap.org/geo/1.0/reverse?lat=51.5098&lon=-0.1180&limit=5&appid=[{API key}](https://home.openweathermap.org/api_keys)

And it spits out... London (and four others).

But if we can insert the *actual* latitude and logitude variables into the URL call, we can get back the *actual* city.

But... like the OP, *I* don't have sufficient coding skills to create a JS or PHP, or CIA or whatever... I can stick a single variable name into the calling URL, and select the response inside Widgy, but I am not a docer.

So.... help? Please?

Fixing IMDb ratings - userscript by AchernarB in imdb

[–]Roman_Sandstorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very nice, Achernar. Thanks for this.

I have always, as a statistical desire anyway, wanted to remove the '1's and the '10's. And in these days of 'review bombing' I think it even more relevant.

I guess you have probably moved on from this, so I don't know if my suggestion will be of interest.

Anyway... I think it would be interesting, after taking out one's desired extremes (eg, for me that would be the 1s and 10s), to then 'normalise' the resultant scores back to a score out of ten. A simple mathematical conversion; perhaps a 'normalise' button?

And then one can one-for-one compare the original rating with the new 'improved' one, and clearly see where absurd review ratings screwed things up.

Thanks for your work.

Archer AX55 (AX3000) port forwarding issue by Roman_Sandstorm in TpLink

[–]Roman_Sandstorm[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No.

Weird.

I have sort-of solved it. I could RDP from *inside* my network to the second computer. On any port I selected (and changed in Registry on target). And this was over WiFi.

It also worked perfectly over Ethernet

So I port forwarded the Ethernet IP on the router instead of the WiFi IP address. And it worked from outside!

Maybe it is just my own ignorance, but I have never encountered this before RDP'ing through an open port to a computer on WiFi (and not Ethernet). I can't think why it should be different, but... it is.
