@rojoloco said in iOS 11 annoyances:
@dashrender I can and will dislike and blame companies for putting profits above people. At a certain point, giant companies have social responsibility. Pure, textbook capitalism IS greed in its purest form, and if you think companies didn't intend to do illegal stuff to get that profit, you're naive.
So why are you only despising Apple? Other companies are exactly the same way.

What do you do when all filters have failed?
What do you do? You don't allow scanning to email, period. Email inboxes are not file stores. Most of these machines allow you to scan to SMB share. Users need to learn to use file shares for storing files, not their email clients.

Nothing wrong with doing a multi pass as well... I have heard of people going so far as to create a 'dumb text' file of junk text and copying it to fill the drive, then doing the DBAN. Also - if it is a physical ARRAY - by killing it, you add another layer of obscurity...
I generally have just pulled drives and kept them. They are cheap and easy enough to replace, and can be found new, refurb or used...
We're donating with the drives, so will be wiping them to a reasonable standard.
Just trying to find out id one pass of 0's is actually a reasonable standard....I would go multi pass with random data... single pass to me just isn't enough
That would take a long time. Its not data that's about customers, or patients or whatever, this is data that if found wouldn't cause an issue. Hence doing 'quick best effort'. Leaving the array doing multiple passes with random data for a week is just too long... but, if one pass of zeros is easy to get the data back, then I have no choice but to do random...
I look at it this way; I am no hacker, not a digital forensic specialist - but I have formatted SD cards from my digital camera, and been able to recover the images with nearly 98% error free recovery.
When it comes to digital storage - I don't like to chance things. I go extreme in some cases doing a full DoD wipe twice..
Single format doesn't destroy the data, you need to actually overwrite it.
I use Pi-hole and Adguard. It's so effective it even blocks ad videos in games.
Apache mod_rewrite could be disabled. Check .htaccess file if rewrite rules are there. Can you access pages with "ugly" query string after main url. ie. /?p=11 ?
You've never heard of ssh or proxy for sql?
In either case, they said they want to set this up, so just provision Linux server with openssh server installed and have them do the rest of the work.
@popester said in SQL server SSH proxy:
@marcinozga Thank you so much. They wanted it in 30 min. I said no way. I am going to take your information and get something robust made so if they need it in future I will be able to respond.
You're dealing with DevOps, so getting servers up in minutes is expected. If you run esxi, try this:
We use RingCentral for VoIP, so faxing is included. They have 3 options for sending faxes. Emails to [email protected], through deskphone app, or printing to virtual printers installed on desktops.
Like Scott said, this is a server side feature and has nothing to do with Outlook, it never did. What you have in Outlook is an exposed setting in Exchange, and it's the Exchange server responsible for sending out of office replies. Email client is never responsible for that.

Also is 32GB of RAM seriously useful if you don't run VM's locally?
Never. I've never, not once, seen anyone use remotely close to the amount of RAM they think they need (who doesn't run multiple VMs). It's always a waste of money when someone wants tens of gigs of RAM... 20 or 30gb plus. Even in the teens.
For example, we have some serious drafters and programmers who swear they need lots of RAM, but I've never seen usage go past like 8 to 10 or so GB.
I do hit 16GB I have in work PC occasionally, with Photoshop, Indesign and gazillion tabs in Google Chrome. I can imagine crossing 20GB, perhaps even getting close to 30GB.
@aaronstuder said in Install Chocolatey on all Domains Computers PS:
How fast does chocolatey get update for things like Adobe Flash?
Probably faster that if you did it manually. It depends on maintainer, but most popular packages are updated quickly.
I'm planning to migrate my media server running Plex, Sonarr, Radarr and few other apps on FreeBSD to Linux box but isolating each app into Docker containers. Is anyone running their setup in similar configuration?
I'm also planning on slowly moving from local storage to Google Drive, you just can't beat $10/mo for unlimited storage. Does anyone have experience with streaming from GDrive and if it's smooth without buffering? I have gigabit internet, so bandwidth is not an issue, latency is the unknown here.
@obsolesce said in Need SSL cert - What's next best?:
@marcinozga said in Need SSL cert - What's next best?:
Can you put reverse proxy in front of that appliance and automate certs on proxy?
Hmm, perhaps. I didn't think of that, but there are other services besides https that the proxy would need to pass through to the server then. Is that possible? Users would access the https stuff over web browser, but agents on their computers would be trying to connect to the same server.domain.com over some custom port, lets say 52274 for example.
Yes, it can be done, with Nginx for example.
@travisdh1 GSuite Business is $10 per user, and they don't enforce 5 user min to get unlimited storage, so you just need 1. I have 24TB, plus a few random USB drives floating around, probably around 40TB right now.
@DustinB3403 See this:
https://github.com/geerlingguy/ansible-role-homebrew
it's a rather complex role, and it covers complete brew installation, clearing cache and the whole nine yards. If you want to retry it, add following parameters to Cask task, in main.yml file
retries: 2
delay: 5
register: result
until: result.rc == 0
so it looks like this
# Cask.
- name: Install configured cask applications.
homebrew_cask:
name: "{{ item }}"
state: present
install_options: "appdir={{ homebrew_cask_appdir }}"
accept_external_apps: "{{ homebrew_cask_accept_external_apps }}"
with_items: "{{ homebrew_cask_apps }}"
retries: 2
delay: 5
register: result
until: result.rc == 0
notify:
- Clear homebrew cache
You might have to adjust delay, but that should do the trick.
Remove / at the end of dockutil lines. Is there any chance this script was written on Windows machine? Perhaps EOL needs converting from Windows CR LF to unix LF.
What happens if you change shebang to /bin/bash?
@DustinB3403 I just ran that if part of the script, and it runs fine.

No, I think you are just deluded, or refuse to see reality only because you are paid to push Windows solutions.
It is easily and simply possible to be completely OS agnostic in the modern era for any size of corporation.
Completely Agree
OK, so if it's so easy then how do @Donahue and the people he supports go about doing their jobs when Autocad is what they are using and AutoCAD doesn't run under linux? Find another equivalent app?
Well, you are aware that AutoCAD are industry leaders in their field? There are no equivalents and it's not just the software itself, it's the ecosystem of add-ons and small programs. It's also the fact that subcontractors and consultants have the same software and you need 100% compatibility when exchanging files. It's also the fact that AutoCAD is what people are trained to use and what you can get training and support on.
https://www.3ds.com/products-services/draftsight-cad-software/
In the US AutoCAD is popular enough that people forget that alternatives even exist. But Dassault (yeah, the big aerospace giant) makes a competitor, and yes it runs on Linux.
Draftsight is not even close to AutoCAD. It might be ok for simple projects, but anything more complex, and you're sol. And that's just 2D. Most shops will use Inventor, Revit, perhaps 3ds Max, variants of AutoCAD (Electrical, Mechanical) and store files in Autodesk Vault. Add CAM to the mix, Mastercam for example, and you're stuck with windows, doesn't matter how much you try to move away from it.
Or you could even run Chromium browser on choice of Linux on Raspberry Pi or similar.
Ansible is probably the easiest of all configuration management solutions. All you need is Unix machine to start, you don't even need anything on devices you're going to manage, just access with ssh. And ansible syntax is yaml, so very easy to get started. I believe Salt uses yaml too, but it requires agents on machines you're going to manage. Chef and Puppet are a different beasts, very steep learning curve.
