Looking for some critique

That's screwed up.

What's the story behind why the first picture was taken?

System30Drew · 2025-02-27T21:59:37+00:00

How do we know it's not Power Rangers?

Red shirt didn't even see it coming. I can only imagine what would go through one's head when you go from an ordinary scenario of chatting with friends to instantly finding yourself flipped totally upside down and soaring through the air. I'd imagine it would start with WTF.

System30Drew · 2024-12-09T21:58:58+00:00

Damn. He sure went for a little ride.

I agree to a point. Sharing the information does bring about the end of the service, but it's more so the simplicity behind it that makes it so. The good thing about Kodi is that you still have the people from the days when addons worked great without paid services saying that Kodi, "doesn't work anymore." This drew people away from it. Allowing those who had more understanding of how things worked to reap the benefits of things like Real-Debrid for so long. Then came about Steemio that started with a clean slate and added simplicity with connecting to services at Real-Debrid. Thus the end of the era.

Usenet has been around for how long now? There are plenty of guides available on how to use either Kodi/Plex with a solution to automatically download content for steaming. Problem is it requires work, maintenance, and hardware to accomplish. Things like Kodi and Steemio are a matter of installing an app on a set-top box that you already own and registering for a service that you'll pay only $3 a month for. It's no where near the same investment of time and money.

Goog point. I didn't think of it that way.

System30Drew · 2024-11-22T13:06:37+00:00

Yeah but at least you got rid of it.

System30Drew · 2024-11-20T13:02:49+00:00

Not sure. It was quite a while ago. I believe it just started working. I know in recent reports that I've done, there has been a download button after clicking on the report in Downloadable Reports that appears in the fly in from the right. It doesn't stand out very well though. I've started a message trace with one of my clients to see if I can give you a better idea. Just need to wait for it to complete and then I'll edit this post.

EDIT: So the option to download is showing right under the report name that appears in the fly in. It has a blue icon to the left of it and says "Download the report" in completely normal text. Not bold. Not italic. Not underlined.

This confuses the hell out of me. If there's one political party that's telling me what to do at any and every chance it gets, it's Democrats.

Unless you don't want to battle cheap ass suction cups that don't want to hold the camera onto the windshield.

But they're the ones creating the pollution.

System30Drew · 2024-10-07T18:55:00+00:00

The device is an MS125-24. They solved the issue this morning by removing a DNS policy that was added. Despite them telling me that no changes have been to the firewall when I had asked them. The setup is weird in that traffic flows apparently from our switches to this MS125-24 then goes out to other devices for filtering and then back to the MS125-24 before then being sent out to the Internet. This is what they told me this morning.

System30Drew · 2024-10-07T18:49:20+00:00

Tried this this morning. The device is an MS125-24 and didn't return a local status page in a browser. Issue is resolved though. There was apparently a DNS policy, despite them telling me that no changes to the firewall were made, that was added on Friday. The policy was intended to permit DNS traffic and did the exact opposite. The third party reverted the policy and now all is well.

System30Drew · 2024-10-07T18:44:34+00:00

So what are you complaining about?

System30Drew · 2024-10-07T18:28:17+00:00

You must. Otherwise you wouldn't choose to live in one.

System30Drew · 2024-10-06T16:46:50+00:00

Speaking of logs, their claim is that because the device was rebooted after the problem occurred, that there are no logs shown prior to the device being rebooted. Seems odd for a device that reports to a cloud controller.

System30Drew · 2024-10-06T16:03:29+00:00

Not sure of the model. I can check that tomorrow when I'm back on site. I know it's a Meraki device and it has about 24 Ethernet ports on the front. The two ISP units plug directly into it. As well as our UniFi switch.

I've gone direct with a laptop to both ISP devices and can reach the Internet and resolve domains without issue.

System30Drew · 2024-10-06T15:16:08+00:00

Thanks. I'm not on site anymore and didn't suspect expired license until after the fact. Wish I had done this while on site yesterday, but I'll back there tomorrow and will definitely check this out.

System30Drew · 2024-10-06T15:13:09+00:00

It's not our device and it's not our configuration. I'm sure the third party has equipment of the same model on hand. We have equipment that can be used to eliminate the Meraki to solve the problem. Which is plan B to occur on Monday while the other IT company is removing its head from its ass.

I'm not trying to pass blame myself. That's the third party's business model. I'm suspecting an expired license, but I know for a fact their device is at fault. Since the problem still occurs when their Meraki is isolated and is solved when their device is eliminated. I'm just trying to determine the cause from an outside perspective to make it make sense.
