I connected my LinkedIn profile with my Hotmail account (a decision I will rue rest of my life) and it resulted in all of my LinkedIn contacts birthdays being stored to my Outlook Calendar. Whenever I try to delete those birthdays from calendar, it doesn't let me even edit it. It's quite agonizing as I don't want these birthdays on my calendar. Can anyone help me there? Thanks!

My Postfix server was working fine until last days but now, I can't receive emails from outside (I mean with an email of different domain name like gmail for example). I must make notice that I can send email from the server to gmail. From what I have seen, I think that issue may be my iptables rules : # iptables -L Chain INPUT (policy DROP) target prot opt source destination ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:ssh ACCEPT all -- ...

I am running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and am using Vagrant to run a Ubuntu 14.04 Server with a LAMP stack setup. I am working on a Laravel 5.2 project, but constantly have issues with the permissions in the storage folder/sub-folders. Currently, the folders are owned by my user/group. Anytime some file needs to be created or written too, I get a permission denied error. I can fix this with by chmoding the files to 777. This however does't fix the issue of having the problem when a new file is made (for ...

I have .mkv file with list of embedded subtitles. I don't have any subtitles files in the folder, they're all already in the file. So, i need to display 2 of them simultaneously: e.g. english as 1st, main subtitles, and russian as 2nd. For this purpose i use KMPlayer 4.1.1.5. Problem is only with 2nd subs. I'm able to choose main subtitles: when i choose RMB -> Subtitles -> Subtitles languages, i can see list of all the embedded subtitles, it works well. But for 2nd subtitles i'm only able...

I have a home network built around an ancient computer that I've tued into a router, running Debian Wheezy. The wireless part is based on a TP-LINK TL-WN851ND PCI card on the hardware side, and uses hostapd on the software side. Now, I have recently obtained a new phone, on which I am running CyanogenMod 12.1 (equivalent to Android 5.1). This device can connect to my wireless network, but most network operations (e.g. downloading things) result in timeouts, requiring retries. Fetching emails ove...

I have been trying to deploy an OVA to AWS. And came across a strange problem. AWS looks for file with name 'grub.conf' in all partitions and doesn't deploy OVA if multiple files exist with name 'grub.conf' in any location. It shows something like this: { "Status": "deleted", "SnapshotDetails": [ { "UserBucket": { "S3Bucket": "bucket", "S3Key": "dir/aws.ova" }, "DiskImageSize":...

I have Aspire E5-571G-55ST laptop and tools like CPU-Z and Speccy show that I have 2/4 slots used... Even Windows Task Manager shows that I'm only using 2/4 slots... But when I opened up the laptop to put in 2 RAM's in the 2 leftover slots, I found out that the motherboard has only 2 physical slots, or I'm not seeing good???

I am trying to setup an OpenVPN server on my desktop that I will connect to on my laptop (both running windows 8.1 64-bit, with the 64-bit versions of OpenVPN installed). The setup procedure calls for the easy-rsa package, which is no longer included with OpenVPN, but is available separately. I have installed easy-rsa version 3.0.1. The first step in the setup is to run "init-config" in command prompt in the directory "C:Program FilesOpenVPNeasy-rsa", but it fails, giving me the typical "not rec...

When iPhone is plugged in computer running Windows 10 it starts installing drivers. Windows doesn't show UAC screen, or user permission to install drivers. Sure, it is convenient, but what is the security model here? Does it mean that any usb stick can silently gain permission for arbitrary code execution? Or this usb stick would needs a signed certificate to do so? Let's block ads! بخوانید...

I have a permission issue that is driving me crazy. I am trying to monitor asterisk on an arch linux virtual machine, using the plugin "check_asterisk_peers". I have installed NRPE (the Nagios remote agent). The relevant section of nrpe.cfg is: command[check_users]=/usr/lib/monitoring-plugins/check_users -w 5 -c 10 command[check_asterisk_peers]=/usr/lib/monitoring-plugins/check_asterisk_peers -p monika_gigaset Here is what I am getting: /usr/lib/monitoring-plugins/check_nrpe -H 10.10.10.10 -...

VBA welcome, however I have no experience in it. (Willing to lea a bit) Thanks for your time! Let's block ads! بخوانید...

I have a server that I ssh into all the time. I have ssh keys set up, but I'm noticing a strange behavior with video files that I'm trying to edit with VLC. As most know, with a program like Thunar, you can open individual files with VLC by double clicking in Thunar and you can also drag a selection of files onto a running instance of VLC to add them to a playlist on the fly. This works as expected with local files on the localhost. However, when browsing the remote server with Thunar, I'm able ...

Its doing it while I write here now. My only way around it is to hit ctrl,alt,del. call up the task manager and hit cancel over and over again until the the black screen goes back to my active page and the cursor starts to blink. I thought it was my firefox browser so I tried reset and eliminating addons no change. I changed browser to Google Chrome same thing only it comes back quicker on chrome. I only have to do the ctrl,alt,del cancel thing a couple of times. On firefox it might take a dozen...

I have a very strange behavior that I would like to understand on my home network. Sometimes I lost connection to outside (request timeout on ping 8.8.8.8 for few minutes) but I don't loose connection on already made link. For example I can have a google hangout call that will not drop but during this call I will see request timeout on 8.8.8.8 for few minutes. When I do an mrt and the connection drop. It drops on nearly all points. Connection seems to drop right after the router at home. Packets...

Since client transparency and certificate logs are widely in use now, can I, as a site owner, somehow subscribe to one of the certificate logs and get notified when a certificate for one of my domains gets issued by a CA? ...

Windows 8.1 2 in 1 Tablet tied to unused Hotmail account whose password is forgotten? I have some old family folks who did not realize they created this, then they lent the machine to another old family member and now nobody remembers this password and this Outlook/ Hotmail account was never used by them. Apparently it was created by them when they went through the OOBE fresh machine process scenario. I am doing some major tech house cleaning for them. I doubt if we can do a reset via MS/ Hotmai...

I have a computer with built-in WLAN, and it just can't get any IP from the DHCP when using that adaptor. The signal strength and quality is excellent. Using the LAN adaptor or a USB-WiFi adaptor works just fine. To eliminate the router being the cause, I tried making a hotspot on my mobile phone, and the same behaviour repeats itself there: it connects without problems, but it doesn't get an IP from the DHCP server. So I suspect it's the driver for the built-in WiFi adaptor that needs updating....

I don't recall an account being locked when the user forgot to change the password before the deadline (I know this happens a lot in hardened Linux servers though). In case you it really did happen, assuming you have domain administrator access, you can: Login your domain controller as domain admin Open up "Active Directory Users and Computers" Go to "Users" Find the user account, right click and open "Properties" Browse to the "Accounts" tab and tick "Unlock account" This should unlock the acco...
