could you just not bother, and filter those mails?

it’s for an automated workflow that I’ll need to use for multiple web surveys so that complaints are automatically forwarded to the responsible party.

i have a chromebook that's developed a weird intermittent wlan issue. seemingly at random, the machine will complete drop off the face of L2 on up--won't respond to ping or arping from the gateway, no more packets sent--but the UI still shows it's connected to the network fine. doesn't resolve unless i disconnect and reconnect. happens on both the 2.4G and 5G networks. anything that would typically cause that sort of behavior?

if i start wireshark on another machine in monitor mode, i don't see anything that looks interesting, but idk what i should really look for in monitor mode. filtering on packets to or from the problem device MAC doesn't show much at all--I only see a couple 802.11 probe requests from it to broadcast, even though it's actively receiving traffic. any reason i wouldn't be seeing other frames between it and the AP?

edit: okay i needed to tell airmon to use the right channel, but still don't see anything of obvious interest. 802.11 frames keep going after the issue starts, and they don't look obviously different from before

c-spam cannot afford



question: friend has a custom built computer with an lga1155 that the cpu fan died on. i have some working heatsink/fan combos out of dells with similar processors. the heatsinks have the exact same radius and hole alignment. the dead one, though, is connected via the push pins while the dell ones were screwed in. the screws fit standard mobo standoffs.

my initial thought is just put four standoffs on the other side of the mobo pushpin holes and just screw them in that way. am i doing anything stupid by doing this?

e: on second thought i just bought a refurb for $15 off of newegg since i don't have the backplate.

its probably not disconnecting from the wifi, its just trying to send stuff out the ethernet cause ethernet generally gets a lower automatic interface metric

Set your ethernet interface metric to like 200 and the wifi to 100 and it should keep using the wifi when the ethernet is connected. its probably supposed to be using internet accessibility as part of its automatic interface metric and thats the part thats busted.

I'm trying to help a volunteer orginsation (a pharmacist union thing) with their wordpres website thing

the only thing it really needs to be is be an about page, and also have a form so people can express interest in joining

it currently uses forminator and it works.. except well it stopped working. it just no longer sends the completed forms to the email address

I added my personal email address and then set up an automatic forward from mine to the one it's meant to go to

and that worked for a while and then that stopped.

I can't for the life of me work out why they're not sending.

is it possible because the PHP version is 7.3.33 not 7.4??

OR maybe someone knows of a wordpress plugin that does forms which is an alternative to forminator but is not forminator


imma back it up and update php and see if tht fixes it

why would the PHP version matter? you're cargo culting this. it's likely just ending up in your spam folder or summat. check your webserver and mailserver logs to see if the emails are making it out of the server in the first place and go from there

"cargo cults" mainly arose in the pacific islands in the aftermath of world war ii. islanders observed the military operations, and the arrival of "cargo" and its bounty of food, clothing and other advanced technology. once the war ended, the cults imitated the military operations, in the hopes of summoning more cargo to provide them with riches.

in modern use, it refers to doing stuff to solve a problem without any understanding of the problem or why the actions you're taking will supposedly help solve it.

nope it actually disconnects from the SSID when i connect the ethernet and then refuses to reconnect to any SSID whilst the ethernet is still connected.

at work my laptop connects to the corp network via wifi. ive got a bunch of fortinet devices that i need to configure which id like to do via their web interface so i want to just hook up via ethernet from my laptop with a static IP on either end. this works fine except for the fact that when i connect the ethernet my wifi disconnects so lose connectivity to the corp network and the internet.

it's just an annoyance really not a showstopper.

yeah probably. it's a lenovo X1 where the ethernet port comes as a separate cable that you have to plugin to the laptop maybe that's got something to do with it idk. also 802.1x has been broken since i upgraded it to win11 so i can't connect to the corp network via the ethernet either.

I installed an email logger plugin and discovered the emails are leaving but not arriving

but this lead me to discover the website was setup with the admin email as secretary@whatever and that email has been deleted from existence so I suspect the whole problem has been lack of delivery due to the sender email not existing. and currently can’t even change what that email for the same reason, but I’ve got the person who pays the bills to set the email back up so hopefully that means I can change that admin email and then hopefully it works after that

thanks spanky for the hot tip

mines an X1 too. I can force click on to WiFi to be on both simultaneously but it will never do that on its own. I’m using the Lenovo thunderbolt 4 dock (garbage) as Ethernet as well.

i did some more fuckin around today and the issue is that IT have group policy configured so that secondary network connections are blocked when you're connected to the domain network. on top of that windows connection manager preferences ethernet over wifi so if i try to connect the wiif whilst the ethernet is connected it will connect briefly and then disconnect with the "no multiple network connections when on domain network" error.

i ended up just giving up.

Corla Plankun posted:

the X1 comes with a proprietary ethernet adapter that connects via what looks like a 1394 port but isn't. despite the weird port i'm pretty sure it's just USB.

the windows preference is configurable though. but i expect the policy working as intended will get you to the same place, the normal behavior afaik is both connections being alive and the preferred being routed first.

my in-laws have done something profoundly stupid; as in, by the time I had intervened, they were on a screen-sharing session with a scammer while logged into internet banking and paypal.

I brought over my laptop and had them change passwords for everything on that device, as well as their passwords which are similar on other sites, but now I have their PC here (not backed up, obvii) and need to try to make it "safe" again.

What's the go-to toolset for this scenario (other than a large body of water, into which I throw the box)? Time was you used Bitdefender but IDK if it's still being actively maintained...?
