/29=4. The only reason I know the /29 is because so many ISPs use that for static IP addressing.

umm 8 with 5 usable the way it is passed through the ISP gear.

So far only Print Server, mapped printers is showing access denied

you don't think this is related?

aren't they considered the same?

I read it wrong - I thought it said - mapped drives were access denied

@laksh1999 said in Send CSV file to Slack Channel by bash script through Webhook:

Hi
I am trying to send the assigned tickets in the queue as .csv file to the slack channel. I am able to download the .csv file in the dev desktop through bash script but unable to send that file to the Slack Channel.

Anyone have tried this before?

I have checked this

https://api.slack.com/methods/files.upload

I have only Webhook URL no other token is there with me as per the suggestion in the above link.

You must have a token or some kind of authentication, otherwise anyone would be spam slack with files.

Also the function you are looking at is not a webhook. Webhooks are triggered by an event. And they cause a http request to be sent.

I accept with your point the csv file which i download is authenticated with the kerberos only.So is that enough and send the .csv file to the slack channel through the webhook ?

@stacksofplates maybe you can offer some insight?

At the bottom of the upload API page they give you an example of what you need. You need your API token and the channel ID(s) that you want to send the data to.

curl -F file=@dramacat.gif -F "initial_comment=Shakes the cat" -F channels=C024BE91L,D032AC32T -H "Authorization: Bearer xoxa-xxxxxxxxx-xxxx" https://slack.com/api/files.upload

@stacksofplates Ah yes, Ergodox. Massdrop? Getting stuff off pinkies and onto thumbs is a big win. Alas, I don't have such a rig myself. Fairly pricey, iirc, no?

Yeah with the rests, lift kit, and lights it was around $350. I got it from ZSA soi didn't have to assumble it. They built it and sent it.

@gjacobse said in Network Drive issue:

@laksh1999

Wait,.. you can delete one but not the other? Are they on the same server?

Example Drive 1 is correct server location user have mapped
Drive 2 which is incorrect name like test123 which is not there as well.but its showing in the File Explorer and its asking for the password whenever the user opens word or excel file in sharepoint

@scottalanmiller said in How to Install PHP 7.3 on Ubuntu 18.04:

I hate having to do this, but sometimes it has to be done. Here is how to get this middling PHP version onto this old version of Ubuntu.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php sudo apt update

I'm not sure that is the proper way to do it.
ppa are personal repositories - meaning someone put it together.

I think Ubuntu has offical backports, just like Debian.
In that case it would be better to get a the "newer" php version from the backport repository instead.

UPDATE.
It looks like the ondrej/php repository is actually maintained by a Debian developer, Ondřej Surý. He is one of the package maintainers for the official debian and ubuntu php packages.

@scottalanmiller Hm... I'd thought of posting that up here but figured it'd be old news for you lassi it hounds... Good news for the battle for ROSS.

@scottalanmiller said in Anyone used Infection Monkey?:

@ambarishrh I meant that YOU should make one.

I'm too subtle, I guess.

lol! Yes, will make one for sure! Just need to test it on a lab and see how it goes. Its an interesting project 🙂

@dashrender apparently someone wanted it because @msn.com is a short domain name and addresses referencing recent culture are still available.

@mr-jones said in Ryzen 3900x vs 5600x:

@irj Nice. Since I left that comment I bought a pre-built as a graduation gift to myself as it seems the only way to get anything at the moment. I went with the 3900X / Radeon RX 6700XT combo. I got about a 6 week wait though.

One thing I would consider, if you haven't thought about it already, in relation to your original question is your power consumption. I noticed the 3900X is 105W whereas the 5600X is only 65W.

Unfortunately I found out my motherboard is not backwards compatible so I will be sticking with 5600x for a little while. I woolf eventually like to upgrade to a 5900x when I can find one for MSRP. The upgrade cost from Dell was more than Msrp on 5900x so I will just wait.

I have a 1000watt PSU so CPU power consumption shouldn't matter much for me.

@mr-jones Microsoft Exchange has its intricacies but once you learn it is okay 🙂

@openit said in What do you use to manage multiple Linux servers?:

If you are talking about "can't trigger a task on all servers connected on Cockpit", maybe yes, so far I can select one Server and manage it, but no action option for all Servers at a time.

Exactly. it's a great tool, but just for "snowflake" management.

@scottalanmiller said in Spectrum VS T-mobile home internet:

Even a lot of fiber services are like that now. And satellite. Upload costs more than download

Not exactly how it works.

Fiber are doing because they choose to use modems that are built that way (looking at oyu AT&T UVerse), or to prevent "abuse" of their network by people buying low cost consumer internet and running everything.

Satellite works that way because power to broadcast versus receive. So yes more expensive only because of hte cost to have a strong enough transmitter.

@jaredbusch said in offline, air-gapped backups / backup rotation (looking for hardware & ideas):

@dave247 said in offline, air-gapped backups / backup rotation (looking for hardware & ideas):

Of course backups can be encrypted. Anything physically attached to the network is vulnerable to malware/ransomware. The point of all this was clearly explained in my original post.

FFS, think a little.
They cannot be encrypted if the datastore is not accessible to anything except the application making the backup.

Thanks for your rudeness, Jared, it is so helpful.

Yes, I do understand what you are saying, however if a system is connected to a network and other systems, it is not air-gapped / truly segregated from the environment and therefore not 100% safe in a total ransomware situation. All applications have vulnerabilities and a skilled hacker (or insider) or well-made ransomware could still potentially get at it.

Additionally, I am not looking at this as any kind of main backup method - I am just trying to mull over ideas for a very last-ditch, fail-safe, "shit hits the fan but we have offline backups though" setup.

Thunk configuration was quick and easy. Must faster then FreePBX (assuming your providers are supported - mine all were

Didn't used to be that way. But it's been a hot minute. I'm sure 3CX has come a long way.

They may have come a long way, but I don’t think I would suggest them to anyone

Not likely. They were pretty bad in the past, both as a product and as a company. But not to the point that I wouldn't take a look again. But their licensing costs is high.

And that is one of the few main reasons. IIRC- Isn’t 3cx based off of freePBX?

Definitely not. If it were, it would be open. It's completely their own code at every level. It's not Asterisk based at all, so FreePBX wouldn't be useful to them anyway. The strength of 3CX is in their proprietary stack end to end. It's also their challenge. They are stuck doing everything themselves, but they also get to build exactly what makes sense for them.

@scottalanmiller said in Your organizaion is due for Microsoft License Review email:

That doesn't sound like something from Microsoft.

It really doesn't, I think it's more marketing. It did originate from microsoft@e-mail.microsoft.com, but we know they allow access to microsoft.com domain emails for 3rd party marketing purposes.

No way to know if it is REALLY sent from MS, either. Might be spoofed.

@dafyre There are many options out there.

If you want to do yourself and work on it
https://getgophish.com/

If you want to use a provider, Curricula and Knowbe4 might be your best bet
https://www.curricula.com/
https://www.knowbe4.com/

We have used Sophos Phish and TrendMicro but reporting and the actual templates lack a lot of what Knowbe4 does already. Knowbe4 also has extensive documentation on how to integrate with various email systems and SSO.

You can also educate the users and create a reporting for those emails either via a Plugin or manually forwarding to a dedicated email account. You would also think about separating permissions and tasks from users. So you would have an admin account that is not your every day user login on the computer and so forth.

Red Hat has introduced a new technology, called Stratis, that is a layer combining Linux' existing LVM2 technology and the existing XFS filesystem and merging them together to be managed as a single unit with best practices automatically applied. It's not new per se but takes best of breed existing technologies and puts them together to feel and act more like their more modern competition.

@irj said in Single 32gb DDR4 RAM vs 2x16gb:

I just bought a pre-built desktop from Dell. I opted not to upgrade the memory as it was much more expensive to do through them.

My system is only coming with a single 8gb RAM stick which is obviously unacceptable. The motherboard has 4 RAM slots and supports up to 128GB.

I'm looking at single 32GB sticks vs 2x16. The single sticks are appealing to me because it makes it easier to upgrade in the future. I could eventually have 32x4 to make 128GB.

Now I don't see needing more than 40gb currently which is why I was thinking 32gb would be fine.

Ok that's alot of rambling... My main question is single stick performance vs using RAM in channel. What would you do?

BTDT. I would go with two 32GB.

The future is uncertain and it's much easier to just get what you might need right now. If you can imagine needing 40 GB I'd do 2x32GB right away. Then you have optimum performance and the same memory on both.
