@scottalanmiller Just a) logging into our machines b) network security

@IRJ This is the screen I get. I deleted everything. Then you re-enter the gateway, and it will ask you for your password.

I think we need to know more about your VPN setup, sounds like that is just broken and likely the culprit.

In a statement it told the BBC: "We experienced intermittent issues with our mobile and internet banking services earlier today. All our services are now working, however if customers experience an error message they should try logging on again."

Arizona doctor believes Vitamin C could be game changer in COVID-19 treatment Could a common vitamin prove to be a key in helping treat the coronavirus? Some doctors in both China and New York have been using Vitamin C to try to treat their patients. One Arizona doctor who’s been using this technique for other infections explains why vitamin C might be effective. The key, he says? Absorption through an IV. “When people get sick, the first thing in their body that actually gets depleted is vitamin C,” said Dr. Steven Katz, a naturopathic physician in Scottsdale. Dr. Katz often sees patients with pneumonia or bronchitis. The World Health Organization says coronavirus can lead to things like pneumonia. “I’ve been using Vitamin C for acute and chronic infection patients for a long time,” he said. He said the immune support the vitamin has on a person’s body is incredible. But he said it's more than just your typical Vitamin C pill or chewable gummy. Instead, it’s a very high dose of it through an IV that he said could help save these COVID-19 patients. “The absorption is going to be much higher when you go with an IV because it gets absorbed right away,” he said.

@JaredBusch said in Zoom meetings on Ubuntu: Without a green screen or other good color to make the base, it sucks though. Thanks @JaredBusch , that is exactly what I needed.

OK - ran into this post while trying to get directions on making Teams skip the lobby for meetings. https://www.magenium.com/Information/Articles/how-automatically-admit-attendees-microsoft-teams seems like a bug, at least the post offers a work around.

Here is my updated rule set that I use on my personal ZT network. # Whitelist only IPv4 (/ARP) and IPv6 traffic and allow only ZeroTier-assigned IP addresses drop # drop cannot be overridden by capabilities not ethertype ipv4 # frame is not ipv4 and not ethertype arp # AND is not ARP and not ethertype ipv6 # AND is not ipv6 # or not chr ipauth # OR IP addresses are not authenticated (1.2.0+ only!) ; # Allow SSH, SMTP, HTTP, HTTPS, and Cockpit by allowing all TCP packets (including SYN/!ACK) to these ports accept ipprotocol tcp and dport 22 or dport 25 or dport 80 or dport 443 or dport 9090 ; # Drop TCP SYN,!ACK packets (new connections) not explicitly whitelisted above break # break can be overridden by a capability chr tcp_syn # TCP SYN (TCP flags will never match non-TCP packets) and not chr tcp_ack # AND not TCP ACK ; # Accept other packets accept;

@black3dynamite said in Ubuntu 18.04 Gnome - unstable asf: Obvious you know better. But having a green will make someone assume to choose that one. And that's a regular complaint that I have always had about it. But that "installing by accident" doesn't apply to IRJ, or really anyone here. Random users, sure.

@scottalanmiller said in Nodeweaver: @stacksofplates said in Nodeweaver: However it's still not just plug a box in and you have a hyperconverged setup like Nodeweaver or SCALE. Neither is Nodeweaver in this case. he's not talking about buying appliances, he's talking about installing software. So far more like Proxmox than dislike it. No it offers auto load balancing of the host once the application is installed. So it's more like SCALE. I've been through a SCALE setup, it's not autodiscovery. You still need to tell it where the other hosts are even though the software is already installed.

@JaredBusch said in Keep my ssh config file synchronized between two systems: @stacksofplates said in Keep my ssh config file synchronized between two systems: I use git for this type of stuff. I have all of my dotfiles stored in a git repo and synced between systems. I thought about that, but then it gets into git triggers and scheduled jobs. I just do it when I open my terminal. It auto downloads when a new window is opened.

@JaredBusch said in Fedora 32 server disables root by default: @scottalanmiller said in Fedora 32 server disables root by default: @black3dynamite said in Fedora 32 server disables root by default: @scottalanmiller said in Fedora 32 server disables root by default: @black3dynamite said in Fedora 32 server disables root by default: It's been like that since Fedora 31. At least with the netinstall everything iso. Gotta be the Netinstall because we install this constantly, every few days, and in the Server Edition, it's not there by default. root account is disabled with the following ISOs: Fedora-Everything-netinst-x86_64-31-1.9.iso Fedora-Server-dvd-x86_64-31-1.9.iso Fedora-Server-netinst-x86_64-31-1.9.iso Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-31-1.9.iso Must be in 1.9. We do these constantly and haven't seen it yet. Was there more than one ISO release of Fedora 31? There is not always. Not sure. I just looked and we are on the 1.9 ISO and it definitely has a different default.

I even posted a selfie. But my time was so rushed to catch my flight home, I didn't have time to discuss anything with him.

@JaredBusch said in WP-CLI and database users: @Pete-S said in WP-CLI and database users: @JaredBusch said in WP-CLI and database users: @Pete-S said in WP-CLI and database users: And when you use -e you should have it after user and password so the SQL commands you want to execute comes after the -e. That was a once off artifact of me doing it on this system after the root password has been set. OK, so maybe this then: sudo mysql -e "CREATE USER [email protected] IDENTIFIED by '$DB_PASS';" sudo mysql -e "GRANT ALL ON $DB_NAME.* TO [email protected];" sudo mysql -e "FLUSH PRIVILEGES;" right. Updating the guide. but half tempted to leave the single quotes everywhere it that causes no error in order to protect against spaces by others. Though I am using pwgen to to this. It's kind of f*cked up to have spaces in user names and passwords. Personally I don't use something unless it's specifically needed but either way works.

Bit of a necro post, but I'm finally getting back around to NFS review for RHCSA. nfsstat -s tells me I'm using version 4.

So likely when I need to renew my cert it will be less work to just flip that toggle than to generate the cert from cloudflare and paste it into GitLab. I won't need to do that for another year or two though.

This is the SSL score. I assume this is why the A rating and not A+ But not much to do about that since it is Cloudflare that is terminating.
