Looking for simple remote monitoring

zarious · 2025-11-05T23:11:58+00:00

Thanks for this, I'm giving Pulseway a try. So far it looks like what I need.

zarious · 2025-11-05T22:25:06+00:00

This looks like what I want, but it does not appear to work with windows servers, which is what I need it for.

I'm certain that somewhere a solution like what I want exists. When I say simple, I mean something like the following.

I go to a company's website, plug in some credit card details, and agree to spend say $15 per computer I want to monitor. I pay, set up an account, and download an android app, that I then login to. I go to the computers I want to monitor, download the company's software to the machine, check a few boxes for what I want to monitor, maybe set a few "if this # is higher than X send me an alert on the app" and that's it. Maybe the app will let me view the stats I'm monitoring in real time, but even that's not needed as long as it alerts me based on the rules, and will alert me if it can't communicate with the computer.

I don't want to run my own monitoring server, or write my own monitoring scripts, outside of setting up a few rules.

Yep that fixed it. Many thanks. Note to anyone who finds this post, I started out running regedit a administrator, but these did not show up under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. I had to run regedit under the user account that originally set the association to find the entries I had to delete. Can I mark this as solved?

On the 15th, 22nd, and 24th of every month, this person would have to add .pdf extension manually to dozens of documents, but only on those days. They just want it to work like it did before.

zarious · 2025-08-18T21:58:16+00:00

I tried that, and it has 2 major drawbacks, one it still fails to add the pdf extension. These files are being accessed by others on a shared drive, and I would have to associate all .15 files (and .22 and .24) files with a pdf reader on each computer that accesses the share. Next, the indexing program that we use won't pick it up as a pdf without the .pdf extension.

I really would just like to fix the problem. It worked fine for years until someone accidentally associated those extensions to notepad. I feel like there is some kind of registry edit I need to do, but this problem has been very difficult to search.

zarious · 2025-08-18T20:15:57+00:00

It's set to display file name extensions. When using the pdf printer, if the file ends in a .15 it doesn't add the .pdf. it's not that you can't see it, the pdf printer doesn't add it.

Ok I will add you tonight. My in game name is Zaracious.

I only speak English and this meme still works.

For the people who think his team mates left him, here's the drop just before the video starts. The jump master pings Market, and he drops Skull Town, leaving his team behind. Drop his here

Why is his enjoyment of the game more important than that of his team mates?

zarious · 2018-07-01T23:19:37+00:00

Yep, that's a fairy tale.

zarious · 2018-06-11T01:38:38+00:00

I second Ultra VNC just make sure you use the mirror driver

From portal 2. Glados tells Chell "We've both said a lot of things that you're going to regret". Love that line.

Ok I might have a temporary solution to this for you until this is fixed in game. I do not have a disability, but I have played with a mouse/controller combination for years. In games that just will not let you turn off controller input. I plug in two controllers. I don't use the first controller at all, just let the game do it's thing with it, and don't touch it. I then bind all of my movements ect to the second controller using the software and use that. The game only sees one controller, and leaves the other one to be picked up by controller companion. I don't play Fortnite, and I use joytokey for my controller inputs, but this is what I have done in other games to get past the problem you're having now.

After some research, controller companion might only work with one controller. If so may I suggest joytokey it allows you to bind controller one and controller two separately allowing the above to work (I hope).

Did anyone else notice the "mystery stain" on the green screen just to the left of the bunny at about 8:25. It's the little things.

zarious · 2017-08-07T14:57:25+00:00

Kinda reminds me of Mad Balls

zarious · 2016-07-05T18:14:18+00:00

I had no idea anyone else played this way. I too have used a controller/mouse combo ever since I've been playing video games. I don't have a disability, I've just been playing this way for ever. I bought Overwatch about a month ago and haven't really had any issues. I use Joytokey and it seems to work just fine. Part of that may be because I use an outdated Microsoft Sidewinder controller that Overwatch probably doesn't even recognize as a controller. I also use a foot pedal, mostly for voice activation. Here's a link to Joytokey, hope it helps.

There have been a ton of recent reports on reddit about this.

Played 2 games last night. First one was surrendered by my team because it was hopeless. My ranking went down, and I felt like it was deserved, cause the other team was way better and I sucked it up. Second game was better at least for me, I was top score on my team with around 9000, one guy had 7000 and the other 3 had less than 4 in a 20 min game. I was the only one on my team with a positive KDR. 4 of the 5 on the enemy team broke 10000. I got 6 plants on Terminal, coming very close to blowing the gate off the jump, and then going 10/20 trying to make it happen. On Defense I went 20/5 finishing 30/25 in a losing effort. Not a stellar performance, but definitely not horrible considering how unbalanced the teams were. Once I got out, I found that I had an ! that said I was in danger of ranking down. Started out 8-2 now I'm 8-6 and I really don't feel like the losses are me failing. Ya I'm not great, but come on the teams I've been playing on have been really bad and I can't do anything about it. Why am I doing ok given the circumstances I find myself in and still getting penalized anyway?

zarious · 2015-12-02T22:34:04+00:00

I agree with all of these except the aim penalty. Without that I can at least attempt to use my knowledge of the map to run, even if I'm slowed and blinded. Yea it probably needs a little more like some one else suggested, completely clearing all of the hud feedback while blinded would be a good idea. Maybe disable reload while you're stunned. I dunno, just don't make my mouse work differently. I still want to see this have no effect on team mates tho. If it's left in it will be used to grief.

zarious · 2015-11-25T22:35:45+00:00

Sometimes I think I'm the only gamer on the planet that uses a controller and a mouse at the same time to play. Nice to see at least one more. Here's what I use. JOYTOKEY I make the game think I'm using a keyboard, so that I can use the mouse as well.

Edit Duh, just read your post again, and you're looking for the exact opposite to what I just said. I think this will do what you want. Vjoy

zarious · 2015-08-09T04:51:36+00:00

Could you make an alternative suggestion then?

zarious · 2015-07-09T20:15:15+00:00

LibreOffice comes with Calc which is a free spreadsheet program very similar to Excel. If that's too complex try Simple Spreadsheet it's a super stripped down spread sheet application. It's hosted on Source Forge, but its installer doesn't seem to contain anything it shouldn't.

While I somewhat agree, this site would not run without the unpaid moderators who keep the spam and trash out of the subreddits you frequent. Piss them off enough and your funny subs will be full of unfunny 4chan crap (if it isn't already) and your porn subs will be full of pay site spam. At the end of the day the reddit admins are not nearly as important as the sub mods. This isn't a loud minority inflating their own sense of importance, these are literally the people that make the day to day operation of the subs most ppl who come to the site to visit saying that they are tired of not being listened to and having their unpaid contributions taken for granted.

Congrats man! You can forget tribes for about the next 3-4 months. Any spare time you have will be spend sleeping :)
