@JaredBusch said in Chocolatey not available after being installed through ScreenConnect: I guess you could cycle the screenconnect client service. That should do the same. This did it; thanks. It's the only working solution short of a reboot. I did not want to connect to the client with SC so I pushed a re-install, it was current, so it just went through the motions and restarted the services. Perfect for my needs.

@Emad-R said in Install OpenVas9 in Ubuntu Server: @dbeato the thing is openvas versions is all over the place, dont they have a new version 10 right now, a month ago it was on 8 . It was 8 then 9 and the 10 version is GVM. I am testing it still but hasn’t been stable for me yet.

They should be in journalctl right? So I don't have a ton of experience with the AWS side, but with GCP you define your startup scripts like this: Here's what's in my script: #!/bin/bash sudo touch /etc/the_file sudo echo "is this working?" >> /etc/the_file cat /etc/this-file-doesnt-exist Then after boot, you can run jouranlctl --boot and it gives you logs since last boot.

This is some awesome stuff.

@scottalanmiller Thanks for all your considerate words and careful thoughts about this. I'm very appreciative of this thread, and particularly this post of yours, SAM. I wasn't (yet) kicked of SW, but have always found it an extremely odd place with many demonstrating being either very new to IT, or painfully constrained in their thinking based on knowing only what they know (due to their given opportunities thus far, in terms of exposure and "experience"), and often confusing any calls to review their established and limited (sometimes, not always) and/or ingrained assumptions about a problem and how to best approach it, with personal criticism. Which is also commonplace for people new to IT or particularly defensive about their knowledge of IT (and the manifold topics and considerations that "IT" encompasses). I was also sad to see you go/be forced out of SW, but theres much history there that I wasn't part to, nor care to be. While I already was definitely aware of MangoLassi long ago, when I saw that dbeato had joined here and/or become more active, I was happy to see it, and made a point of checking in here more often. Very interesting to get some of your behind-the-scenes perspectives, SAM. All of this certainly gives great pause in terms of what will happen now or eventually with SW and anything we post there.

Google Drive will introduce long-asked-for file shortcuts feature It's coming to G Suite in beta first, but may reach more users at a later date. Soon, Google will add one of the most commonly requested features to its Drive file hosting, sharing, and collaboration service: shortcuts. These will allow users to create pointers to files from either the same drive or another, separate shared drive. The new feature will work just like shortcuts in Windows—they are pointers to a file stored in another location. The shortcut can be stored anywhere without impacting the location of the original file. Google gave this example in its blog post announcing the feature:

Sudan just got a step closer to full democracy. Big obstacles remain The Transitional Military Council's Gen. Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, and opposition demonstrator Ahmed Al-Rabee, raise hands after signing the historic agreement. After almost nine months of violence and wrangling, Sudan came a step closer to a civilian government on Saturday when opposition leaders and military generals signed a power-sharing agreement in the capital, Khartoum. The choice of a fearsome commander on the signing table, and the absence of women who played a crucial role in the protest movement, show that obstacles still remain in Sudan's path to full democracy. The agreement follows protests that toppled 75-year-old dictator Omar al-Bashir, ending his 30-year rule over the northeastern African country.

What windows version is on the client? It's not 10 / 1803 or newer is it?

This reminded me of a tweet I seennot so long ago: https://twitter.com/MarkWilkinsonNZ/status/1155931194925522944?s=19 It leads to here: https://adamtheautomator.com/pending-reboot-registry-windows/

@scottalanmiller said in HCI vendors: software or hardware: @DustinB3403 said in HCI vendors: software or hardware: I'm pretty positive it requires a windows guest to be supplied the storage, which then gets passed out to the hypervisor. It used to be Windows based. Correct, but you still need Windows to manage the Linux version...which makes no sense to me.

@JaredBusch said in Windows Offline files won't sync: I don't even bother to try anymore. Make a copy outside of sync location. delete form sync location and hidden sync location make sure folder in solid sync put file back Yup. Don't mess with it. Drop a copy of the files in question into a \Temp folder then delete from the local and redirected folder, sync, and finally put it back into the local folder. Then sync again.

Now it likely will. They claimed that they disabled the "remote kill" ability so that their infrastructure was no longer in use. Is the assumption that they broke their terms of service and secretly kept it tied and they can (and will) remote kill people's systems? I never saw that. So I assumed it was still all tied to the community accounts and such. they had a massive outage a couple years ago and everyone found out that they had been tying it together (and had no redundancy) so when their ISP failed, every on prem SW failed with it. Then they promised that it was separated and no longer depended no their no-redundancy, no-failover back end. And I'd heard from people who tested that it seemed to actually be done. So my understanding was that they really did it, but they are always pretty suspect, for obvious reasons, they've violated their terms so often that there is a good chance they would have turned it back on later. But they were so exposed when it happened that it seems kind of unlikely that they would risk that happening again. It is still tied to it at least on the initial setup, same for network monitor. You can set it up offline after that but it does need checkins for the plugins such as warranty check, cloud detection, alien vault alerts, software updates by Zoho and many more. Additional stuff i"m not surprised, but I think that the product itself is offline, at least after install? Only after install and still dependent of gekko.spiceworks.com What does Gekko do and what happens when it goes away? Scripts and such https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/2142631-spiceworks-hangs

@scottalanmiller said in Bookstack Backup to S3: @wrx7m said in Bookstack Backup to S3: @dbeato said in Bookstack Backup to S3: @wrx7m said in Bookstack Backup to S3: @dbeato Are you running bookstack in AWS? Not at the moment. I am just backing up to S3. Look at Wasabi for S3 compatible object storage. Significantly cheaper. Yup, can't think of any reason to use S3 unless you are hosted on AWS and aren't using it for backup but for production storage. And even then, not the majority of the time. S3 is too expensive and doesn't really offer anything except locality that is of any specific value. B2 and Wasabi beat it a lot. Sorry, I posted this as S3 but I should change it to Wasabi. It is the same Idea for both.

Just updated to 0.4.0-b

As an "extender", you'd definitely need a parent of some sort.

@Pete-S said in How to remove incorrectly uploaded to imgur: @Pete-S said in How to remove incorrectly uploaded to imgur: @scottalanmiller said in How to remove incorrectly uploaded to imgur: @Pete-S said in How to remove incorrectly uploaded to imgur: @scottalanmiller said in How to remove incorrectly uploaded to imgur: It was really frustrating setting Imgur up, because you didn't get a sign in like a normal app when we did it (this is 2014.) Crazy confusing to use, because you registered and got the API info, but no account to use. Looks like you have to register at some point. And there seems to be a header when imgur API's are accessed and that how they know which account it is that is posting the image. If you can check what that is, you'll know your client id. From https://api.imgur.com/: Register an Application (IMPORTANT) Each client must register their application and receive the client_id and client_secret. For public read-only and anonymous resources, such as getting image info, looking up user comments, etc. all you need to do is send an authorization header with your client_id in your requests. This also works if you'd like to upload images anonymously (without the image being tied to an account), or if you'd like to create an anonymous album. This lets us know which application is accessing the API. Authorization: Client-ID YOUR_CLIENT_ID Yes, you register. But during the registration process, at least in 2014, there was no "account login" involved. No username or password. There was registration and the API / secret. But can we use that to log in? No, doesn't look like you can use that to login. It actually looks like you can't remove images using the API either - if they have been uploaded anonymously with your client_id. You need the deletehash value from each upload mentioned earlier in this thread and it look like nodebb imgur plugin doesn't save that info. So no dice. I think @JaredBusch has another setup. He tied the application to his imgur user account - by getting the client id/secret for the webapp from imgur while being logged in. So when images are posted to imgur using the client id Jared got, they will automatically belong to his user account. How do you get a client if and secret without an account? I used My twitter log in to make the imgur account forever ago. Long before I made the api creds. I would never do it that way in today’s world.

Been using Wasabi for several months now. Was using AWS S3 for several years prior. Haven't had any issue with Wasabi. Using the same tools, as it is S3 compatible.

@scottalanmiller said in SFTP fails after 7GB: @WLS-ITGuy said in SFTP fails after 7GB: @scottalanmiller I figured it out.. I formatted the drives wrong and made separate partitions for /Var, /home, etc Ah yeah, almost always best to avoid that. So I assume that whatever filesystem you were using was full? You are correct sir!

@IRJ said in One of the configured repositories failed (Unknown): I also think you may be looking at the wrong file. In Ubuntu it is located here /etc/apt/sources.list You can also add sources by file here /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ He's using Centos, and location was correct. Both distros store config files in slightly different locations.
