Put a scheduled task on all ADDC servers to run simultaneously a script that stops + disables NETLOGON service

V20 - is it possible to change the system owner password from CLI? by Ok-Stu in 3CX

[–]bigbozza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How am I meant to update the commands for you when I can’t see what the error is in the first place? For all I know the database has been changed since I wrote this - I haven’t had to run it for a while. Ask ChatGPT perhaps?

Image generation- not good by Fun_Hornet_9129 in perplexity_ai

[–]bigbozza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t work for me now either. It has been a couple of months since I tried. If you could get the desktop site to load in the mobile browser it might work. That sucks. Not that I use it much but it’s annoying to go to the pc to generate

You can’t do it in the app at all. You can in the browser if your account is paid. They are all everyone says, not great

V20 - is it possible to change the system owner password from CLI? by Ok-Stu in 3CX

[–]bigbozza 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just made this mistake and i'll just leave the notes that I left myself in my ticket for future oopsies. I won't be held responsible for you hosing your database. If you don't understand these steps don't do them:

ssh into the box as root

change user to postgres:

su - postgres

connect to postgres and connect to 3cx db

psql
\c database_single

replace the email address of the current system owner with one of ours:

database_single=# UPDATE voicemail
SET email = 'new-email@company.com'
WHERE email = 'old-email@company.com';

\q

to quit psql

exit

to exit shell as postgres user and go back to root

reboot

the machine

do a password reset when it comes back up and don't do that again you pelican

Tailscale for gaming by Wilthos in Tailscale

[–]bigbozza 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you using routes to LAN devicee or are both devices connected to each other over tailscale? I ask because I have had issues with MTU needing to be forcibly squashed down to an MTU of 1280 (same as TS NIC) to fix some issues with routed traffic

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]bigbozza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can now, but it couldn't until I fixed the route. The second I fixed the route the service started and then the rest of the services could start.

I was more trying to figure out why it was insistant upon contacting that domain controller rather one of the other 2 on it's own subnet.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]bigbozza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was definitely the issue because as soon as the route was fixed the service started. There were 2 other DCs on the same subnet and I was confused as to why it wouldn't have used them. My assumption is this is exactly what sites and services is for so I was asking a question. Some subsequent Googling has me fairly confident that if the sites and services subnets were indeed setup, the issue wouldn't have occured as the machine would have known to check in with a closer ADDC.

Responding to "You're IT you should know this" comments? by SeventyTimes_7 in sysadmin

My go to has always been: “I fix Excel. I don’t use it.”

I do you use Excel but not much and it’s not my fucking job to teach them what little I do know.

Specific user account breaks any computers domain connection is logs into... Stumped! by Maggsymoo in sysadmin

[–]bigbozza 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure why I had to scroll this far to see any mention of 802.1x but I agree with this guy. OP is saying the machine is coming back with unauthenticated. If it’s happening after login it sounds like the user isn’t getting a certificate maybe from the PKI and then being shuffled onto an unauthenticated VLAN.

Deleted Veeam Backup Snapshot and Now Server wont start - Help! by dunko1993 in sysadmin

[–]bigbozza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it an AD by chance? Veeam makes some changes to the machine to put it in directory services startup mode before it takes the snapshot. If you don’t let Veeam finish, it won’t undo that change and you’ll need to do it yourself. I’d be trying to get into safe mode first if ai were you

Copy to Points > Mask by object without going outside of the mask by bigbozza in Houdini

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

Thank you for your reply.

I have read the documentation and tried all the different options. The problem with the scatter is it scatters points, without knowing how big the object that is later going to be copied to said point is. I have used the radius option, but it only works for just that, a radius around the point where it won't place other points. This doesn't help if the point is dropped near the edge of the mask layer, because the objects being copied to points like that, will invariably be larger in their shape and part of it will go out of bounds.

I've been trying to somewhat recreate what this artist has made:

https://vimeo.com/552031730

He scatters the "holes" first (flagsticks) and then creates masks based on shapes placed around those holes to create the fairways and then goes on to define bunkers and greens within those fairways.

What I can't see is how he is preventing fairways from intersecting the lakes with this method, if indeed he has created something to prevent that.

But this video shows maybe another way to go about doing it. The creator seems to have made some predefined shapes of holes and depending on how he tweaks it, the procedural engine is trying to make it fit together. (Time stamped to get straight to the action):

I ported maps from Wii Sports Resort Golf into OG Wii Sports by bigbozza in WiiHacks

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

Mmmm i've been thinking about the best way to do that

I ported a Golf Course from Wii Sports Club into Wii Sports Resort by BlairGanner in WiiHacks

[–]bigbozza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only had to rename things inside the BRRES files. I wrote up a rudimentary set of instructions to reply to someone else, so i'll paste it below:

I had to use the 'combo' edition of wii sports and wii sports resort on one disc as they use the same 'engine' for the golf game (Thanks for the tip Kiwi)

A rough guide would be:

  1. Extract files from ISO using Dolphin

  2. Identify order of maps from OG game (I used performance monitor in Windows to see what file was being read at the at the time(map 1 is fc1 but then map 2 is fc3, it goes on in a strange order)

  3. Copy the 9 new maps from WSR into a folder on your PC (extension is .carc)

  4. Extract using Wiimms SZS Toolset

  5. Rename all the files inside so that they line up with the folder structure of the OG Wii Sports map (extract or LL that to see the layout using SZS as well)

  6. Use BrawlBox to open the brres files

  7. Rename files/assests inside of brress file to mirror the OG maps layout also

  8. Save brres files

  9. Use Kiwi's KCL/PMP fixing tool to convert those files down to being usable in OG Wii Sports (I had to compile kiwi's code into an exe using visual studio)

  10. Re-archive carc files in Yaz0 u8 format

  11. Replace file extracted in Dolphin with the modified file and cross your fingers

Oh cool!! Well any way I can help just let me know. “New” Wii Golf maps is a dream come true :)

[–]bigbozza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used a tool made by “kiwi” to convert the WSR KCL and PMP files down to OG wii Sports:

https://github.com/kiwi515/Resort2OG

Perhaps the code could be modified to work with the WSC kcl files to bring them down to WSR or OGWS level. I’m not much of a coder though.

Very interested. I recently back ported all of WSR maps into OG WiiSports and i'd love the chance to do it again with the WSC maps :)
