FYI - my experience in all of this is through the use of shares - so if shares aren't enabled.. then I'm guessing you're probably correct due to configuration.

Shares aren't on by default. But even when they are, nothing is shared out that a local non-admin user could access.

Yeah, and this is ultimately what saves you - OK now we're on the same page.

Thanks

@scottalanmiller This is for a standard user without any Domain Admin Privileges. I am assuming this is for a Technician joining computers that no one wants to have admin permissions.

That would be an example case. Yes.

I've solved all your problems 😎👍

Let us know if you find a competent auditor. I've worked in IT for quite a few years and have yet to meet/find a decent auditor.

Do you want competence? Or do you want an auditor? You need to choose.

Exactly, lol!

Seems reasonable to me. And Debian is super conservative in most cases. I don't see cause for concern in this case. And remember "based on" is kind of "for your information". Lots of things are "based on" unreleased products before. Most cars are "based on" models that never got to production. It's the quality of the final release, not the process of getting to the release, that ultimately matters.

I ended up using a tool from RDPSoft. You can take out monthly subscriptions to use their software. Very impressive stuff.

@pete-s said in VMware Carbon Black:

It can cause some seriously hard to track down problems with Windows applications. Like it's 90% of the app is working but 10% is not.

Like most third party AV. That's why that stuff has been a "no no" for years.

Not impressed. Have to replace my CPU (Ryzen 5 1600) if I want to upgrade.
Yeah yeah, TPM blah blah blah. Still not happy about it. I've only had the CPU for 3 years.

Granted I don't have to move until 2025 (WIN10 EOL) if I want to retain my hardware that long.
Just irritated that I can't upgrade straight away.

These requirements may not seem too strict, but having a look at the list of supported processors, you’ll notice that the 1st Gen AMD Ryzen CPUs aren’t supported, and the 2nd Gen Zen+ processors are a bare minimum on AMD’s end and the 8th Gen Kaby Lake-R is the least supported on Intel’s end. Keep in mind that although the OS will run on systems using older processors, it’s “not recommended”. Microsoft’s list of supported processors doesn’t make sense as there’s little to no difference between the 1st and 2nd Gen Ryzen processors. Similarly, the Kaby Lake-R (8th Gen Intel Core lineup) is essentially a rebranding of the 7th Gen offerings.

Supported AMD CPUs: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-supported-AMD-processors Supported intal CPUs: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-supported-intal-processors

It's called planned obsolescence. It's not done for any technical reason whatsoever, so looking for what makes "sense" doesn't make sense.

This @Pete-S you're spot on. It's just about making more money. If the software is kept up to date security wise, why would anything ever need to be replaced/updated, but we all know that.

When's the release date for 11?

Oct 2021

Right is is simply Windows 10 21H2 with a new GUI and rebranded as Windows 11

As far as I've heard, they are releasing both - Windows 11 and Windows 10 21H2.

Cool, issue resolved.

Adding below thing to /etc/grub.d/40_custom was enough, all went good.

menuentry "Windows 10" {
set root=(hd0,1)
chainloader +1
}

An XPS with Ubuntu is very hard to beat for work. I used to have a setup like that. My needs changed lately and now is most efficient to run Win10/11, however, possibly 2nd quarter next year I'll be back to running Ubuntu mainly after I finish some Windows related projects.

Huh - I love the idea of getting away from Google and their data mongering... but I don't see this being viable.

Isn't that the problem almost all open source projects have?

You need someone with resources to market it, pour money in it and polish it for mass consumption.

That's why linux on the desktop hasn't taken off and probably never will. Nobody is marketing it and nobody is going to - unless there is money to be made in some way.

PeerTube could become a thing among geeks open source advocates though.

The issue here is not related to the source but to a service.

PeerTube isn't a service. It's a self-hosted video server that can also federate content from other PeerTube servers.

So the network of PeerTube servers is decentralized and not subject to the whims of any one company. Like email. Or the www before companies started to build closed networks inside (Facebook etc).

it is a service, just like email is a service. But as you mentioned a decentralized one.

And that's the killer - why it won't ever have mass appeal on it's own.

Now as you mentioned if someone comes along, takes the open source, pours a moon worth of dollars into it, polishes it up, etc... and mass markets it to the public... they could make it appeal-able to the masses.
the question then becomes - how do they monetize it? Ads you say? well, then you're just becoming the next Youtube, collecting data because the advertisers demand it.

@krzykat This wouldn't have been that. Was just worth getting an RMA and starting fresh.

Garage office getting an upgrade?

Customer site. The 5 year old Black & Decker unit they had died.

I've never setup anything manual/specific with IPv6 (and by manual, I've never setup DHCP on Windows server to hand out ULA).

I've only ever used the privately assigned IPv6 stuff internally, then let my router do NAT for both IPv4 and IPv6.

@pete-s said in Windows Terminal:

But Microsoft have been pretty consistent through the years about using "console" and not "terminal" for this kind of application.

True. They do always use some weird terminology that is very specifically something else but "not when Microsoft says it."

Would something like crackmapexec do the trick? I've started playing around with it to validate that some of our security configs are actually doing what they're supposed to and it can be used to dump user lists from a lot of the native windows locations. Not sure that it would get everything that you're looking for but "hacking" tools might be something to consider in addition to the typical bevy of PS and Windows commands.

@eddiejennings said in Shift + PgUp/PgDn in terminal?:

@pete-s said in Shift + PgUp/PgDn in terminal?:

When you use Shift + PgUp/PgDn on a linux console you can scroll the screen buffer.

Where does this behavior come from? Is it the shell, a utility on the server, is it the console client, is it the ssh client?

It's not working for me using ssh (on windows) and I realized I have no clue where to start looking...

Probably specific to the config of your terminal program, unless you’re truly talking about the console itself.

I had to alter some key bindings in Gnome Terminal to get the desired behavior from the weechat key bindings.

You were right. I was trying out Windows Terminal and running ssh inside. And shift+pgup/dn didn't work as expected.

I looked at the Windows Terminal keybindings and the default was not what I wanted.

So I added this under "actions" in the settings.json file:

// Scrollback { "command": "scrollDown", "keys": "shift+down" }, { "command": "scrollDownPage", "keys": "shift+pgdn" }, { "command": "scrollUp", "keys": "shift+up" }, { "command": "scrollUpPage", "keys": "shift+pgup" },

The added bonus is that shift+pgup/dn now also works with cmd.exe and PowerShell.

Out of interest what would you use this for?

One case I can think of as if you were running a 3-D printer farm. Although you might be able to run more than one printer off of one pie if you were not also running a camera.
