I have had a very similar experience with SMB companies as well. It's always the last guy's fault, but then you realize it's really the company's fault. Either they don't have enough of a budget, the pay sucks, or you're working 60-70 weeks just to keep your head above water. Most likely all 3.

Just make them domain admins......

I like Ubuntu

(gets vegetables thrown at me)

Is there a Crazy AJ's in NY yet?

Wanna know something really cool?

Many of you know I have taken on the initiative to get 100% away from Windows at work on my company system. I have come across many challenges and have been able to overcome everything.

Yesterday my team lead approached me and said he really liked what I did with Fedora. He believes that the rest of IT security team should no longer use Windows. It is a goal we are going to work towards. He recommended that I met with our Linux team and we are going to look at using Red Hat satellite to PXE boot Fedora images to replace Windows in various areas!

I should just point the banner there, LMAO.

I don't think @Minion-Queen is laughing...lol

What makes Hyper-V a valid option in production environment? It seems lacking compared to other virtualization options.

Is there something with Windows licensing that makes attractive?

The appraisal came back and we already have some nice equity in our house!!

We were shooting for closing on the 20th and it looks like it is going to happen. The turn around time has been unbelievable .

Maybe it is my Windows virtual machine!

Let's leave politics at the door and talk about his as if an election wasn't going on. How do you feel about Hillary's blatant disregard for handling classified emails. It sure seems to me like anyone else in this predicament would be at a minimum stripped of their security clearances and probably face jail time.

I always fix my KVM to use /home/virtualmachines for the VMs.

I decided to delete it. I am able to RDP into Windows if I need it anyway. My total disk size is only 128GB. So I dont really have room for a 30GB VM anyway.

My Chuwi is still running strong. I love this device. I am working on rooting android on it.

I am also thinking of doing a Linux installation to do a triple boot boot Windows, Android, and Linux.

Install agent

yum install -y wazuh-agent

---

Disable automatic updates for agents

---

sed -i "s/^enabled=1/enabled=0/" /etc/yum.repos.d/wazuh.repo
yum update

 

---

Copy ossec.conf file for agent configuration settings.

I used this area to push an automatically configured ossec.conf file down to client
You can manually edit /var/ossec/etc/ossec.conf

Add agent to wazuh server using SSL

---

systemctl restart wazuh-agent
/var/ossec/bin/agent-auth -m 192.168.1.1
systemctl restart wazuh-agent

Wohoo!!! Android Root is successful

My website had a massive performance increase when I moved from apache to nginx. I also decided to handle caching myself using nginx instead of doing cloud flare. What a massive performance increase.

I would recommend anyone who has a WordPress site to try test nginx and nginx caching.

It is looking like we will have a mandatory evacuation where I live. I am located on an island so a hurricane isn't exactly good news for me. Hopefully the storm switches off it's current path.

Found the answer here:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/32908/how-to-insert-the-content-of-a-file-into-another-file-before-a-pattern-marker

sed 's/CHANGEME/$x/g' origfile | x="$(<file2insert)" envsubst '$x' > newfile

This will replace every CHANGEME occurence in origfile with the content of file2insert. Remove last g from sed to replace only the first occurrence of CHANGEME.

I am finally getting a chance to sit behind a computer for a bit

First of all we are ok and our house sustained zero damage. Not a shingle missing or any water breaches. So we are beyond thankful for that. We also never lost power during the storm which is absolutely unreal. I have been through a nearly a dozen tropical storms and 3 hurricanes. Every single one even inland we lost power. We lost power at my parent's place 50 miles inland.

The storm strengthened to a large category 4 and was predicted to be a category 5 by landfall. The eye was on track to hit us directly. About 3 hours before landfall the storm weakened and pulled offshore. This saved us from certain catastrophic damage and flooding. We got 117 MPH winds were I was at. The weather experts say at 125-135MPH winds catastrophic flooding would have occurred.

Merritt Island looks really good considering the power of the storm. The media hype is worse than it really is. Only a few houses in my neighboorhood are missing a few shingles. No houses seem damaged and I have driven around most of the island. The only damage is trees and fences. Every traffic light is still up. Docks and boats are destroyed and there is some flooding in areas directly on the water, but overall the island held up quite well.

The best way to learn is by forcing yourself to do everything on powershell. It might be a little slower at first, but once you really get it you can remember alot of commands and use help much more effectively for stuff you don't have memorized.

So this Miami cop is weaving in and out of traffic going 120mph. A florida state trooper decides that is dangerous and he is breaking the law for no reason. So she flips on her siren and chases him down. The chase lasts for about 4 mins as the cop continues running at 120mph (all in a marked Miami cop car) from the FHP officer. He finally stops and she pulls a gun on him and arrests him.

After all that, other cops are mad at this female officer and start threatening her. She had Miami cops block her driveway and patrol constantly on her dead end road.
