unaffiliated/xxxxx :is now your hidden host (set by services.)
gateway/shell/xxxxx :is now your hidden host (set by syn.)
Is it possible to choose between one of these irc cloaks?
I assume your question is about the freenode network, as these cloaks look like theirs.
“unaffiliated/xxxxx” is only given for users who request it. So if you don't want it, you could ask the network operators to remove it.
“gateway/shell/xxxxx” is (I believe) given to users of a particular shell until they log in. So if you don't want it, just connect to your account, if it has the “unaffiliated/xxxxx” cloak (and if it does not, request it to the network operators).

Jobrunr dashboard by default shows UUIDs in place of server names.
Is it possible to make this more human readable and/or customizable? For example, ip address, hostname etc.
Currently this is not possible, but feel free to create an feature request or (even better) a PR to add this functionality.
Update on 17/01/2023: this is now solved in JobRunr v6. Not only the background job servers will show the names but also inside the processing block a job.
I am working on the jabber chatting Applications with the use of XMPP server .
I want to make 2 user friend so I have to add roster with the use of mysql query.
I have make entry in two tables.(1) ofRoster (2)ofRosterGroups.
I make entry in both the table but its not working.
Is there anything where I am missing.
I can do this with the admin panel but i don't want to do that.
I think you are using openfire (those tables in SQL look like the openfire setup). If so, the table you have to edit is "ofGroupUser". To add a user to a group you need to do a sql insert into that table where the group name is the group you want to add the user to, the username is the user you are adding to the group and administrator is the flag of that user's authority (just use 0). An example insert would look like this:
INSERT INTO ofGroupUser VALUES("group name", "user", administrator);
However, as mentioned in the above post this is not a good method for doing this as it will not immediately affect the server. You must restart the server for these changes to take place because openfire (or whatever server you are using) probably only reads the database on start up. Once it caches everything, it will edit the database according to requests (like adding users or groups through the admin console), but will not read from it and your additions will not be seen until a server restart occurs.
Basically, doing manual sql inserts will produce the desired results, and, if you are just testing some functionality, will work just fine as long as you restart the server. If you are using openfire and need to do group administrative work in some way besides the web ui, I would look into using a different server. As far as I know, openfire isn't real great with administration outside of it's web ui. Here is a list of many open source xmpp servers. I'd recommend ejabberd (as mentioned above post) it has a very nice control tool called ejabberdctl with an available expansion module called mod_ctlextra (here is the man page for it which lists commands) that will allow you to do what I assume you are wanting. Then you don't have to worry about sql and restarting, just use their tool which is how it should be.
Also, on a side note, ejabberd is extremely efficient due to the nature of the language used to write it: Erlang. Great stuff.
Hope that helps!
Presumably you are using the odbc modules with ejabberd. The sql schema though defines two tables rostergroups and rosterusers, not the ones you mention in the question. In any case you should not update the tables directly, ejabberd keeps internal state and does not get notified of your changes.
The way to go is by actually having the users send the mutual subscriptions and accept them as per the rfc. Roster Item Exchange might also be useful.
Is there a FileMaker (11 Advanced) native way to obtain the client's computer name in a script? The computer name shown in FileMaker server when displaying clients connected to a database would do nicely.
Purpose: I'm looking to have filemaker recall and set window position based on user and computer. (The same user could have a different window position and size preference for their laptop than for their desktop -- think of byHost user preferences.)
Alternate: I'm aware that a the client computer name could be grabbed using an external script, but would prefer a native way, if available.
I am still unable to answer the question as asked. However, for the purpose stated, I just found the command
Get ( SystemNICAddress )
It will provide a unique identifier for each computer that will change infrequently. This is all that is required for my purpose and will likely work better than the value I originally requested.
This new function was introduced in FileMaker Pro 12.0:
Get ( PersistentID )
From the FileMaker documentation at http://www.filemaker.com/help/12/fmp/html/func_ref2.32.54.html:
"Returns a unique, unchanging identifier for the computer on which FileMaker Pro is running or the device on which FileMaker Go is running, in the form of a 32-digit hexadecimal string."
If you're using FMP 12+, this would be a better choice than relying on Get(SystemNICAddress), which can change.
I know this is an old post, but we've worked with the same thing for other reasons and maybe this will help someone.
Since it doesn't seem that FM natively has this function built-in, even for version 17, I just made a table with the NIC address records created when the file opens (if it doesn't exist already) and then the DNS name was manually added later. Then the DNS name could be referenced after using GET to find the NIC address. Some computers do have multiple NICs so those are broken up into separate records (it's just returned as a list) but the same DNS name is applied to them all. Except in the case of a VPN NIC which sometimes reports at 00:00:00:00:00:00; those are just ignored. Otherwise you may have multiple computers with the same null NIC - and that isn't helpful. We use the DNS name for reporting of our employees sales in relation to their call volume. And trying to remember the NICs of a hundred computers is not as simple as a DNS name to know where the person was sitting at the time.
There is a native way to do it.
Get ( HostName )
But you can't use this with a hosted filed, file needs to be opened on the client machine locally.
There can be other advantages to using local FileMaker files that communicate with hosted files
- Better performance for graphics heavy layouts
- Providing an offline cache
Another approach is to use a system shell script.
For completeness sake, a non-native approach, there are a few Filemaker plugins that can provide this functionality. www.360works.com/scriptmaster/
To identify client with FileMaker 11, I simply use:
Get(DesktopPath)
Maybe it could help...

overview of the problem
I am developing a public idea sharing
website, where any user(after creating
an account) can submit ideas; they
will then be reviewed & rated by our
internal reviewers. And only the best
submitted ideas will be published.
These ideas can now be voted by anyone
anonymously. And for each 1000 idea
votes, we will reward idea authors
with say $0.5.
I'm using an anonymous voting system where each vote is identified by a combination of IP address and User-agent.
But since we are rewarding users with cash , I fear this voting system could be manipulated!
Measures I've thought of taking:
Voting only with javascript enabled( using ajax) - to make sure votes come from browsers alone.
Also considering to receive votes, only from the most commonly used browsers.
Can this kind of voting work effectively without much loopholes?
Any good solutions for anonymous voting systems?
Wow! this link is helpful: What is a reliable method to record votes from anonymous users, without allowing duplicates
authentication based on the users account (credit card, checking account ..) Or how is the money payed out?
This won't work. People can easily masquerade under a different user agent, regardless of whether or not it's a "commonly used browser" or if Javascript is enabled. It doesn't make any sense why you think limiting voting to users with common browsers will do anything at all. Client-side scripts could also be written to cast votes, even if you require Javascript to be enabled. Not even IP addresses are immune from spoofing; for example, the user could work from behind a proxy server. Also consider that there could be more than one user who shares the same IP: dynamic IP addresses are quite common, and large ISPs frequently re-use IP addresses by allocating them to different users at different times.
I already voted to close this as off-topic, but it looks like it's also a duplicate: Limit 1 vote per IP Address?
I want to write a workflow application that routes a link to a document. The routing is based upon machines not users because I don't know who will ever be at a given post. For example, I have a form. It is initially filled out in location A. I now want it to go to location B and have them fill out the rest. Finally, it goes to location C where a supervisor will approve it.
None of these locations has a known user. That is I don't know who it will be. I only know that whomever it is is authorized (they are assigned to the workstation and are approved to be there.)
Will Microsoft Windows Workflow do this or do I need to build my own workflow based on SQL Server, IP Addresses, and so forth?
Also, How would the user at a workstation be notified a document had been sent to their machine?
Thanks for any help.
I think if I was approaching this problem workflow would work to do it. It is a state machine you want that has three states:
A Start
B Completing
C Approving
However workflow needs to work in one central place (trust me on this, you only want to have one workflow run time running at once, otherwise the same bit of work can be done multiple times see our questions on MSDN forum). So a central server running the workflow is the answer.
How you present this to the users can be done in multiple ways. Dave suggested using an ASP.NET site to identify the machines that are doing the work, which is probably how I would do it. However you could also write a windows forms client that would do the same thing. This would require using something like SOAP / WCF to facilitate communication between client form applications and the central workflow service. This would have the advantage that you could use a system try icon to alert the user.
You might also want to look at human workflow engines, as they are designed to do things such as this (and more), I'm most familiar with PNMsoft's Sequence
You can design a generic "routing" workflow that will cause data to go to a workstation. The easiest way to do this would be to embed the workflow in an ASP.NET application. Each workstation should visit the application with a workstation ID in the querystring:
http://myapp/default.aspx?wid=01
When the form is filled out at workstation A, the workflow running in the web app can enter it into the "work bin" of the next workstation. Anyone sitting at the computer for which the form is destined will see it appear in their list of forms to review. You can use AJAX to make it slick and auto-updating.
