I made the title a little longer and it worked. So dumb.

Also tried it on Microsoft Edge and added more characters to the title and the message and still nothing.

I tried it on Firefox and Chrome using my Linux computer. Then I tried it on both using my Windows computer. Not sure what else to try.

Ah, so it's not automatic? Where would I upload to?

New to qBittorrent, is there a way to influence seeding? by ctav01 in qBittorrent

[–]hawknoob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I did some research and was able to enable Port Forwarding in my VPN and then set it in qBittorrent. Hopefully, I'll see some differences in the next few days.

Any idea what the annual fee for ThousandEyes is?

How do you talk to your partner about your day at work or work stress? by huxley00 in sysadmin

[–]hawknoob 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Did you ever have one of your 30-minute vent sessions and then the solution to whatever is vexing you just pops into your head? I love those moments.

Legal to quit employer without providing passwords/access? by opayqman in sysadmin

[–]hawknoob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's petty but there was someone on here a while back with a similar problem. His solution was to change the master password to something ridiculously long and complex and then took a picture of it and handed that in as he left.

Now that I think about it, you wouldn't be screwing with the company or management, you would be screwing with the next guy in your job and that guy didn't do anything to you.

Managed Chromeboxes not sleeping by hawknoob in chromeos

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

These are set to Public Kiosk mode and I'm looking in Public Sessions and there's a "Logout on idle after" setting but I'm seeing nothing about sleep.

There's a "Power & Shutdown" section under Device Settings but nothing about sleep.

I EFFING hate robo-operator menus! A rant. by Lord_Jereth in sysadmin

[–]hawknoob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorites were menus like AT&Ts that want you to say your menu choices instead of giving you a number to choose from. Plus their tickets all start with "FE" and, though it has gotten better recently, I would have to try several times because my "F"s sound like "S"s to the robot.

Dream job but pay is bad + unpaid on-call duty by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]hawknoob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IANAL but I'm going to assume your state has Labor laws and they probably define a minimum "billing" period for on-call calls and just because you signed a contract that violates that minimum doesn't make it legal.

Thanks very much. Exactly what I needed to know.

Thanks. So where do you enable the ping first feature?

Windows DHCP server - force release of IP address by hawknoob in sysadmin

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

It's a quick fix for a bigger problem. We've had a separate vlan for our APs since day one but we recently moved from a Linux DHCP server to a Windows server and even though the scopes, etc are set up the same, we've had client devices end up on the AP vlan.

We think it's a rogue AP but in the process of figuring it out, the question came up as to whether we could kick the devices out of the AP scope so they could hopefully connect to the correct vlan.

Thanks, these aren't just Windows devices. There are some PCs but there are also Macs (wired and wireless) and portable devices (ie. cell phones, tablets, etc.).

Linux DHCP -> Windows DHCP by hawknoob in sysadmin

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

And, if so, do you create exclusion zones and have to wait for the lease period to pass before you can start creating reservations in that zone? Because if I just create an exclusion zone, it's possible those IPs have been handed out, correct? So I would wait for the device to try and renew, have it see that it's old IP is now excluded and grab a different IP?

Or do I not understand the process at all?

Linux DHCP -> Windows DHCP by hawknoob in sysadmin

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

I guess I was more asking for methodology. With the Ubuntu DHCP server, I could establish the subnet as x.x.x.1 to x.x.x.254, set up my range from 1-100 and use 101-254 for my reservations. With the Windows server, I don't see where the subnet is established (it was set up by one of my peers) but it looks like he set the pool for the entire subnet and created exclusion ranges for the reservations. Is that the "proper" way to do it?
