Yeah just a shame he missed the 100 mark

Out of interest why the HP and not a Unifi if your using their AP's

Yeah i've been following all these "Right to Repair" stuff. Would love to see it happen

Another day of doing several jobs and getting distracted by everything

(soccer for you Americans)

just wondering. I'm spinning up a new Ubuntu server.
Does anyone encrypt the drive(s)?

Does anyone here run internal Vulnerability scans internally? What do you use?
I'm playing with Nessus and Nexpose at the moment just wanted to see different options.

I have also setup a Wazuh server and deployed some agents.

Can't remember.............................. so many little projects to many distractions.

LOL and RDS server I hope - otherwise I'm hoping that printing from a server it's a big deal...(save a print server)

Yeah RDS server

@Dashrender said in Windows 10 BSOD When Printing:

As for where did I get it? It came from Windows Update.

KB5001566 - v1909

Saw the first one on a server this morning

@Dashrender said in Windows 10 BSOD When Printing:

Looks like this update fixed my BSOD for Kyoceria printers.

Tested and didn't die.

Did you uninstall the "faulty" update first?
Also did you get the fix one from Windows update or a standalone download?

@Dashrender said in Raspberry Pi-based KVM over IP:

Lol don’t visit the wrath of Jared.

Yeah unfortunately this wasn't a "green" site so had so insert the new kit around what's there. Hoping they are going to move office in the next few years so we can re-build the network,

@Dashrender said in Raspberry Pi-based KVM over IP:

I'm lost.

If you can get the host to plug this thing into it and put it on the network, then you could plug in a laptop and ping the network from that.

if you had iDRAC, and it was on the same switching having a problem - no dice.

I suppose that's one argument for putting the iDRACs onto a different switch, but if you're stretching pennies already, I don't see that happening.

Because our infrastructure is on a different set of switches 172.20.6.X to the "main" network. 10.0.6.X if i had the KVM on this network i could get onto the console and find out where the issue was. Found out after someone visited the site one of the switches connecting to the host and idrac needed a reboot. Not going into too much detail on how our network is setup, but it's an old building that's had addon after addon

@Dashrender said in Raspberry Pi-based KVM over IP:

Right - if the network is down iDRAC, etc isn't working either.

The Core switch had issues so could ping all the hosts. If i could of got onto the server itself i would of done some pings and found which switch was the issue.

@DustinB3403 said in Raspberry Pi-based KVM over IP:

@hobbit666 if the host isn't responding to TCP/IP how is this IP based KVM working with the host?

That's just awesome. +100 upvotes!

Should of added just the host the rest of the network was working, if i could get onto the console i could run ping tests and see where the failure was.
