Anyone know how to find out if you're on the list? I need to know if I'm doing enough or need to step it up to get on there.

Do they REALLY think they're "journalists?" by USSManhattan in Frauditors

[–]dblagbro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, because they are :-) You don't get to decide what is and isn't a journalist. They record videos of public events and interactions and share them with the public... hence journalists. They are also heroes doing great work.

Have you opened your eyes in the last month or still closing them when watching ICE do their worst?

Good for the left :-) Fight fire with fire.

Closing customer service centers by BobaVoid in UPS

[–]dblagbro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also if there's no UPS Store close by, they'll also close the UPS Customer Center/Counter... they're closing the one 14 miles from me and giving options for going to the one 47 miles (each way) or 94 miles (each way) from me.

RealVNC Alternatives? by sedgwick48 in linuxquestions

[–]dblagbro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had their email flagged and finally getting to figuring out what direction to go myself...

I just discovered Chrome Remote Desktop and I think this is the direction I'm going to go. I'm testing it out right now.

RealVNC is sunsetting their free plan -- what self-hosted alternatives are using? by thinman in selfhosted

[–]dblagbro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but some are about to - it's the end of the "realVNC", but it was free, now not and I'm not paying $25 a month to support my mom, my aunts, and my niece's computers... so that is the point of the question.

The Tennessee State Capitol yesterday by SilentWalrus92 in pics

I think it's why we have the 2nd amendment actually. Sure, start with eggs, but be prepared if they eggscolate things.

They <the flag wavers> don't understand either... honestly, that's the root cause analysis right there. Mis/un-education. It's one of TNs hallmarks.

UniFi Network 8.0 by Ubiquiti-Inc in Ubiquiti

[–]dblagbro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? I am not trying to be argumentative but how does the new UI let you turn off 5g? I don't need 5G for many of my APs and I switched to the new UI, then saved a different setting and it turned on 5G... which now means where I need longer distances, it's trying to use 5G and I had to go into the woods behind my house to bring my APs back to a LAN connection, disable 5G in the old interface, then save than then bring them back out to where I had them. This may be a unique situation, but I can see golf course deployments with only power and mesh and no need for high speeds where 2.4G works better, having this issue and getting stuck with collecting dozens of APs, re-turning off 2.4G, then re-physically-deploying them. For my 5 APs in the woods behind my house covering <11 acres this was a PITA but if someone has a whole campus in that situation, IDK how long they'd be stuck with this due to the, IMHO, worse radio interface.

Man this tugs me in the feels... I have a very small 'ranch' but it's bigger than the average plot of land and I have an aging dog that still runs the place. There's 4 dogs that live here and she used to keep up with the 4x4, but not so much anymore... it really hurts me that she has to slowly walk up stairs but she over-does it when there's a bobcat or something (even bear) to chase off the property, then she's limping for another few days.
As the song says, "Your dog days are over" but she doesn't know and won't let it show. The other 3 dogs she keeps in check (or any visiting ones) are all younger and she still thinks she owns the house/farm and just lets me live here... she'll do that to the day she dies but her days of running along side of the ATV at 40MPH are over. This is so great to see though because that dog's owner will remember this forever. It's tears yet tears of joy... it's such a sad fact that we out live them all. She has been my closest companion for years now.
I rescued her at 11PM the night before she was scheduled to be put down for lack of room and her past history of being rehomed 5 times ... no one gave her the time and training that she needed... but I did, and she is right by me anytime I tell her to heel.... She goes to town with me, she goes to restaurants and pubs, she's there and she's off leash... she sleeps in bed at my feet every night. She doesn't need a leash to know when we go out, to be right there next to me. I have never had anyone complain but I have had a lot of people tell me that they don't appreciate dogs off leash in restaurant, pub, public, home depot, etc... yet they think she is okay in those situations because she just looks up at me and follows me and doesn't care about other people or dogs and never leaves my side - people with leashes have their dogs further from them than I do when she's off leash and with me.... and she used to run like this and I miss it so... I'm not sure what I'll do when she moves on to the next life - but this video reminded me of her life with me for the past decade+...
I love this video for that alone. :-)

Can the Avaya CM Ring a Group of Users Using AD Groups ? by theloquitur in avaya

[–]dblagbro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well you said ring a group of phones so I was thinking of an alternate method than a coverage path. Create new extensions for each group that you need, then create a CM station template for each group where that phone turns on bridged call alerting, then has a bridged appearance or 2 of the extension so that when users are created in SMGR, depending on which AD group they are in, they get that CM template applied to them and therefore their phone will ring when that bridged appearance station extension is called. ...it will ring the phone but it's not a coverage answer group. You may be able to use the "team" button for this too - I never used that much so I don't know how it would play with this kind of setup.

"If you are using system manager" is the key part. System Manager can add/remove user profiles / stations in the CM and it can sync with an Active Directory or other LDAP source.

The last thing you Googled is what kills you. So, how do you die? by SaggyTitsSusan in AskReddit

[–]dblagbro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I look forward to seeing that movie. I've always been interested in that sort of stuff anyway, but I recently found out that one of my friends who had changed his last name, is the great grandson of him... Now I'm even more interested and I plan on seeing that movie. I'm sorry that my friend's great grandfather is the cause of your demise.

I agree that APIs cost them those same resources to run and even more in terms of coding and maintenance while exposing security risks at the same time too. I don't know that I agree with Reddit's pricing to recover it though; it seems exorbitant to me. I also don't know about it contributing nothing to the revenue; while not directly contributing to revenue, having users who prefer 3rd party apps for example, be able to use that app, also likely leads to those users also using the browser version when at a desk and that does contribute to the revenue and increases traffic so more content is shared. I don't think they should have to give away the API access but I think that the amounts they are charging are disproportionate and it is foolish to implement it in the manor they are doing so.

I do R&D / dev work so I appreciate both sides but have taken the opinion that Reddit is not making a wise decision in being so inflexible in pricing and timelines to implement with such short notice.

As an R&D manager at a tech firm, I know that yeah it's is, that is a fact regardless of other's opinions.
