Kids school had sent out notice of issue and shortly after that it should be resolved.

Sad- one service “took out” school systems across the US.

This is the centralized world we're moving to.

Decentralized is really the system we want.

Why? Decentralized means more, smaller outages but doesn't solve the fundamental issues. In fact, it would make them worse. Decentralized outages don't make headlines, but they cause more downtime to the end users. More downtime, with far less ability to point to and resolve. They require vastly more resources so the ability to repair is much lower.

One word of warning on these, the mic pivot point it's that robust, be semi-ginger with it, and once you set it, leave it alone.

WTF? That would be a hard no. The entire point of a hinged boom mic is to easily move it.

I'll show it to you next time we're together..

I have a similar one and love it:

I do like the full over the ear idea..not on the ear.

Same here, If giving the option, go wireless. Dealing with the cord is troublesome.

Do you have anything that's automatically setting the VLAN for the port?

Speaking of, MeshCentral is able to be behind a CF Proxy as of today. So we just turned it on.

What changed with MC that it can now be proxied?

Don't know, but that was the specific purpose of the 0.7.24 release yesterday.

So I decided to upgrade. :). Weekend project while I’m sick. Vms created, moving all data now. This is MUCH quieter than the r710.

I have an R710 and its pretty quiet.

That's what I thought too. but the R630 is even quieter! now I just have to upgrade my network switch to a fanless one, and I'll be all set.

We already have lots of colo servers at work for testing where I can run whatever I want but having some stuff on the home LAN is nice.
So I'm thinking about building something around this supermicro chassis for SOHO use:
alt text

It's roughly 10" in all dimensions. It has 4x3.5" hotswap (SAS/SATA) and two internal 2.5". Takes micro-itx sized motherboards of which Supermicro has a couple of serverboards that fits. Can't go crazy because there are thermal restrictions but that wasn't the intention either. More along the lines of a small Xeon CPU and maybe 64GB RAM or so and a couple of drives.

@travisdh1 said in Virtual appliances?:

@stacksofplates What the what?

Install Fedora sudo dnf install -y kubernetes `systemctl enable --now podman1

That's all it takes.

Yeah I see you haven't actually done that.

Podman is not Kubernetes. Also when you install Kubernetes you don't get a podman1 service (or any type of podman service). When you install Kubernetes that way you don't get a Kubernetes service. You seemingly have to start the kube-proxy, kube-scheduler, kube-controller-manager, kube-api-server, and the kubelet separately. It installs docker, which is deprecated in k8s now. They have switched to using containerd which is pretty much the standard runtime now.

So I'll stick with my original recommendation.

Yep, this is why I need to mess with this stuff in my home lab. I can't even talk about it intelligently yet!

@Pete-S said in Windows Task Scheduler not running my task. Cron for Windows?:

When you have "interactive" don't you have to be logged in for the task to run?

No, the only two options for Mode are "Interactive Only" and "Interactive/Background" the slash mean Or in this case.

@pmoncho said in Drive wiping tools:

The first few were about 10 years ago, but that fun is done. Now its just a PITA, but with HIPAA and all, I figured better safe than sorry...

Check with your shredding company. Many of them will accept drives in the shred truck the comes by.

One of my clients does this. The shredding company jsut wants to know when drives are involved prior to arrival so they can make it first stop or last stop, i forget which. Because hot metal and paper = potential fire.

I think it is last stop. so they can easily extinguish if needed.

@gjacobse said in PXE Boot & Software deployment:

What is your preference on PXE Boot deployment and software deployment?

SCCM and Software Center seem to be a joke here. Although it could be the team responsible for managing it.

We have a tremendous amount of issues with PXE Boot deployments, not installing the right image and thus nothing is installed or installed right ( Office 365, Adobe, VPN software, etc).

If the agent isn’t right you delete from ADUC and SCCM and start over..

We are lucky if Software Center works,... some times.

Published software packages break on a regular basis, aren’t available to install due to GPO, and you can’t run it ( that my group has found) in an elevated state for applications the user doesn’t see; not all applications are published to everyone...

We use Intune for ~10k devices across a handful of countries and is working great for device and software deployment.

I agree with this. Intune is replacing SCCM functionality in the best way possible.

By any chance are there any DFS shares on this File Servers?

@IT-ADMIN I am also seeing some missing menu what is the solution for it can you suggest me

Things change over time. What you think is missing, is most likely something that no longer exists.

Other than that, did you register the system with Sangoma?

I was a little bored, so here you go:

## Example drive letter selection # Only allow X, Y or <enter> do{Write-Host -NoNewline -ForegroundColor Cyan "What drive letter do you prefer as a backup?" $letter = (Read-Host -prompt "(X) or Y?").ToUpper()} while ($letter -notin @('x','y','')) # This sets the default to X, allowing the user to simply press enter if X is OK. if($letter -eq ''){$letter = 'X'} # Now set the drive letter. New-PSDrive –Name $letter –PSProvider FileSystem –Root “\\server\backup” –Persist -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

Basic drive letter set is done, but we can be more complicated:

# Do actions based on a user that has an network location from IP. $ipaddr = Get-NetIPAddress|?{$_.SuffixOrigin -eq "Dhcp" -and $_.AddressState -like "*preferred*"}|select -ExpandProperty ipaddress # Set the preferred drive letter. $letter = X If($ipaddr -like '192.168.0.*'){ New-PSDrive –Name $letter –PSProvider FileSystem –Root “\\alpha\backup” –Persist -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue Write-Host -ForegroundColor Green "You're in Alpha!`nBackup drive connected to Alpha site.`nHave a sumptuous day!" } # if you have more networks, insert here with more if statements. Else{ New-PSDrive –Name $letter –PSProvider FileSystem –Root “\\bravo\backup” –Persist -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue Write-Host -ForegroundColor Green "You're in Bravo!`nBackup drive connected to Bravo site.`nHave a sumptuous day!" }

@gjacobse said in Fail2Ban: Failed to access sock path:

Since that is a screen shot, it appears that some parts of the code is cut off.

You are not listening. I said previously posted.

Thus, you need to look before that.

There in the actual .local file I did post, you will see an action listed. In the settings of said action is one of those options.

I posted that screenshot of with the intentional size because it contains the comment regarding what each does as well as the format.

Actually, I was and am listening. When I you are working from a 6.5” diagonal screen as I have been, you likely miss a bit of information.

That said - not that it likely makes any difference.

This shit still doesn't work properly through the EdgeOS-provided /etc/init.d/openvpn script. If you do /etc/init.d/openvpn status or systemctl status openvpn you get a green-light active (exited) but this is deceiving because it's a one-shot service and not a proper systemd daemon. systemctl edit --full shows the following piece of crap "service":

[Unit] Description=OpenVPN service After=network.target [Service] Type=oneshot RemainAfterExit=yes ExecStart=/bin/true ExecReload=/bin/true WorkingDirectory=/etc/openvpn [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target

/bin/true? Are you fucking kidding me, Ubiquiti? I pay thousands of €s for your shit and you still manage to be so bad at Linuxing. At least don't pretend you have a service or properly document your shit, ubnt.

https://community.ui.com/questions/Restarting-OpenVPN/2e5c4e8b-ab61-49f1-a25b-e5aa23130d48 suggests that reset openvpn interface works but… it didn't. You can try it before you try the following.

What helped me was to change settings so the config got regenerated. For example you could set or delete the following option:

interfaces openvpn vtun0 openvpn-option "--cipher AES-256-CBC"

then commit and see with sudo ss -lpn | grep :1194 that the thing's started. If OpenVPN is running or doesn't restart, you can killall openvpn a few times with forced Enter (hit the Enter key very hard, it's important) before you change the settings.

Just wanted to mention this to anyone finding this thread through "openvpn restart edgerouter doesn't work" in google or similar. I hope I sweared enough for my first fucking post in this damn nice forum 😛

@JaredBusch said in Caddy vs. Nginx:

You have to compile yourself if you want to use commercially.

This is not something I will ever want to use because of that.

Yeah that's kinda lame, but not a deal breaker. Nginx has to be compiled for more advanced use cases like WAF or certain HAProxy features.

It's a bit of a bitch, but once you script it. It isn't too bad to do upgrades going forward.

that doesn't seem to be a limitation anymore. I didn't see it on their documentation.

Also I didn't realize Arden Labs made this. That's pretty cool.
