@scottalanmiller They need to focus on the main desktop version of windows 10 and get that bloated bit of crap sorted. not missed it at all since being on Ubuntu. Went to change the adaptor settings on a windows machine the other day...how many clicks now....piece of crap.

Would make a great mess around VPS, probably not best for production, but thought I would share this find...

Here’s the deal:

1GB RAM
20GB RAID10 Protected Disk Space
1500GB transfer
100Mbps uplink
1x IPv4
20x IPv6 (free on request)

OpenVZ / SolusVM

Microsoft are helping a lot adding to the kernel. I'm sure if they really want to help in the future they could help more with wine compatibility. If they could help with running more programs on Linux would be great.

I personally think they should move over to a linux based MS OS with a compatibility layer for windows software. Just imagine how much less work they would have if they started using the Linux kernel. Not that there is anything bad with the NT based kernel. They already reduced their windows based team years ago. Probably the reason why they are doing pieces at the time with Windows 10.

This project looks so promising for previous xenserver users.

Be great to see an option to import xen-orchestra built into the project, wherever that imports the VM for you or installs on the host itself.

Netplan

Getting the formatting correct can be a nightmare, prefer the old way of editing the ip address settings.

COPS were stunned to find a Bitcoin "mine" stealing thousands of pounds of electricity during a suspected warehouse drug raid.

Officers in the West Midlands thought they were about to bust a cannabis farm - but were met with the advanced tech scam instead.

Mine went down too. So an old MS Concierge person that connected O365 to AD 2 years ago that was"disconnected" ... wasn't.

We are both back up now. WHAT A FREAKING PAIN!

So were any of the accounts using AD SYnchronization by any chance?

Yeah and we deleted some workloads on Azure today I will let you guess what one of them was...

So user caused issue.

Did no one check that AD sync was still active?

Well The Concierge person did something funky back then (remember scott's issues from way way back?), and we thought that the disconnection was done. But they had to repair things on their side still for both our accounts (I didn't have issues last time but I did today), but no one else on the team did. So weird.

Well, I didn't say you caused the issue.

Failure to verify, but something that should not have needed to be verified.

Same issue I had with a Dell tech that replaced a drive and rebuilt an array for me 5 years ago. I found out 2 years ago that he rebuilt it as a RAID0 .......

Lmao!

...I don't have anything constructive to say. That's just funny as shit.

Trust, but verify....

RAID0 though. I am at a loss for words.

There are many worst things like not having backups

Who needs backups when you have RAID... backups are overrated. :smirking_face:

Be careful saying that, some people will believe that lol...

Heavy wind and rain last night in the UK.

Leaked through their API, well that's just great hey!

Hey everyone, got an instance of Freepbx running on a dedicated server as a VM instance. all working well, I've just wondered are most people here just connecting endpoints(phones) using UDP/TCP or are they using TLS for connections. I know it would pretty hard for someone to intercept packets anyway using UDP/TCP but was just curious if people are using encryption?

Doing a Dist upgrade from 18.04 to 20.04 on my nextcloud server

Disable the Windows print spooler to prevent hacks, Microsoft tells customers

The third serious Windows print flaw in 5 weeks prompts new Microsoft warning.
Microsoft hit yet another snag in its efforts to lock down the Windows print spooler, as the software maker warned customers on Thursday to disable the service to contain a new vulnerability that helps attackers execute malicious code on fully patched machines.The vulnerability is the third printer-related flaw in Windows to come to light in the past five weeks. A patch Microsoft released in June for a remote code-execution flaw failed to fix a similar but distinct flaw dubbed PrintNightmare, which also made it possible for attackers to run malicious code on fully patched machines. Microsoft released an unscheduled patch for PrintNightmare, but the fix failed to prevent exploits on machines using certain configurations.

What an earth is going on at Microsoft. Too busy with UI changes to get the basics sorted/working

Hi, can anyone show some light on this though not connecting to FreePBX TLS doesn't work, tried UDP and only getting one way audio using UDP. This phone is at another location.

SNOM 300 at another location works, no problem. Ideas?

Just had my first jab today, was given the Pfizer one

What is going on with companies that would intentionally continue to deploy this crap in a "business"?

Yeah really. Especially crap with 7 year old privilege escalation vulnerabilities that was totally open for anyone to find at any time...

https://github.blog/2021-06-10-privilege-escalation-polkit-root-on-linux-with-bug/

Yeah fair enough, not great for privilege escalation. Someone will need access to the system shell already. No different then renaming the accessibility app in windows then launching a system shell user to be able to create a administrator account.

At least ssh with keys provides is a lot more secure management then leaving port 3389 open for example with the amount of exploits for RDP. Or linux hasn't had all these printer issues with these current windows updates being pushed out. Linux is far from perfect but I would trust it tenfold then windows.

@nashbrydges Nice looking rack

old school actually with round holes. do not see that much.

Great for the nuts and screws...

My Internet finally back on

I've been using synologys built in surveillance app, works quite well for me, using a hikvision poe camera with it.

@nadnerb Still getting the same speed 55/12 - Hopefully there won't be further faults on the line now though. they have replaced some ends in the cabinet and exchange.
