Ubiquiti and/or PFSense access
by Andrew Hodgson 30 Apr '23

30 Apr '23

Hi all, I have a new flat and with it comes a 1GBPs Ethernet connection as part of the building service. The router they have given me is causing me a lot of issues so I want to upgrade it. I have been looking at different models and I have discount a lot due to the 1GBPs connection. I have a Sophos router from a previous job, but it doesn't support IPV6. At this point I am looking at potentially going with a Synology router, the Unifi kit or a PFSense build. has anyone used any of this and can comment on the usability with JFW? i know the Synology will be pritty much the same as the NAS, though they don't have a demo site for the router. I am going to check out the Ubiquiti demo site next but I know people on this list were using it. Thanks. Andrew.

What is the best way to access Windows server 2012 and 2016 instances in the cloud?
by Jared Stofflett 01 Feb '21

01 Feb '21

I've started a new job and may need to access Windows server 2012 and 2016 instances in Oracle cloud. What is the best way to do this? My thought is to have group policy install Jaws with remote access. Although I'm an NVDA user I don't want to be installing the remote access add-on into servers. I'm also not sold on the Unicorn remote access solution since I have not heard much about it good or bad. In my limited experience remote desktop with Jaws was pretty reliable. Thanks for any advice.

Talking multimeter
by David Mehler 12 Jan '21

Hello, Is anyone using a talking multimeter? If so what do you think of it and what do you use it for? I'm needing to get one, my primary use case is in testing pc power supplies to determine if they have died though I will probably find other uses in the future. Access wise I use an android phone so if the talking multimeter has an app that would be a plus. Any recommendations appreciated. Thanks. Dave.

SiriusXM

Anybody have any experience with SiriusXM? I want to listen to the radio broadcast for my favorite NFL team, not the national radio broadcast or TV. I happen to live where the games are broadcast on a local radio station but the NFL has rules that say they cannot broadcast conference championship games or the Super Bowl outside a 75 mile radius. I live outside that. Honestly, I don't care what it costs. I think SiriusXM has the local radio broadcasts, right? What do I need to stream a game on SiriusXM? Can I do it on my Linux box? -- John G.

Teraterm setting an authentication method per profile
by David Mehler 01 Jan '21

01 Jan '21

Hello, Any users of teraterm? If so, do you know if it's possible to set up default authentication methods? My setup defaults to password which is not what I want. I have a server that uses key-based authentication and i'd like to select it from the list, hit enter, and the system connects after prompting me for the 2fa password. Is this doable with settings? Thanks. Dave.
