@garak0410 You want the internet connection on eth0 or eth1, those are the two ports that get the ASIC accelerated routing. eth2, eth3 and eth4 are all on a switch that has to use the CPU for routing functions, really slows things down.

@siringo said in The Skinny on Plex: How Are People Using It:

I don't know anything about Plex, but am I correct in thinking it's a cloud based service/server that you upload your own content to and then share with whoever?

No. It's your own personal media server. Generally not shared on the internet (you can, but licensing becomes a PITA).

Like your own personal Netflix?

Yes, just not cloud based.

If so, how do you cover licensing and copyright issues?

It's for anything you can watch in your own house, so licensing and copyright shouldn't come into play.

@syko24 You probably need to use a different USB drive. It's possible that the drive is bad, it is also possible that the port isn't supplying enough power for a spinning drive. What ever the issue actually is, just replace the drive.

@siringo said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

So the Dept went a bought 1600 new servers, with 3 x 1.2TB in RAID 5.
What do you think about that!

HDD, SSD, or NVMe drives?

HDD = bad

SSD or NVMe = fine

With all that being said, HIPAA is extremely lenient, too lenient. Basically as long as you are using some sort of common sense, you'll meet HIPAA

And there is a really good chance that if you don't use common sense, you'll still meet HIPAA

Like using faxes...

Now that said - Medicaid/Medicare programs are currently tied to Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS)/meaningful use incentive programs.

In the beginning, these programs paid providers directly for "going above and beyond" with features that where claimed to improve patient care. This was meant to entice providers to adobt EHRs and other programs, policies, reportings that would otherwise likely never be implemented. Of course, they started out as totally voluntary with a reward but at the same time providers were told there would come a time when they would be come required, and if not fulfilled, the providers willing to Medicaid/Medicare would be penalized.
Well that penalty time is either here or nearly here.

All that was to help you understand that the new Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS)/meaningful use programs now have a measure on what percent of doctor to doctor communication is going through Direct Messaging vs faxing. If the faxing is to high, the providers will be penalized... so they are finally working to move past faxes.

Sadly, the system is still to broken - as Direct Messaging is not meant for anything more than Provider to Provider communication. This leaves out many non-Providers who still need this information, like the patient, lawyers, insurance companies, etc. Now insurance companies already get the information via a different secure method, but patients and lawyers don't... and if you send to them, they count against you in the faxing scheme.

Ohio Medicare and Medicade providers still have to use an Internet Explorer plugin to access the state system. It's nothing but scary to anyone that knows anything about security.

@Obsolesce said in City of Munich Moving to Closed Source Software:

It looks like the whole issue was due to their use of some weird distro years ago.

That article technically doesn't say why they need Windows now, so for all I know they have some new weird requirements I don't know about, but assuming they don't, I think the decision to go to Windows is a horrible idea. They'd be much better off going to Ubuntu instead.

Yes I upvoted a post about how Ubuntu would be better than an alternative. Please no heart attacks people.

No, that would be infinite latency because anything that they send never arrives. That's the opposite of zero.

Apparently it went right over my head, too... I thought the same exact thing :man_shrugging:

Yeah... not like I "missed" something, I just assumed since that was obviously the opposite of the joke that that couldn't have been it.

By that reasoning, my grandfather has 0 latency internet as well.... no internet. Does not compute.

@wrx7m said in POoE issues with Unifi switch:

I don't deal much with shielded. They look kinda messy. Isn't the shielding supposed to be in the connector with the rest of the cable?

Nope. You connect ONE side of the shielding to ground. Managing them is a pain. Also, if shielding is required, just us fiber imo.

@jim9500 30TB is about the max for a single LTO-8 tape. Don't let the bad old days (and probably consumer type cruddy tape drives) put you off of tape. It's more reliable than any other media when you need to transport it, and you will want something off-site to be protected from ransomware.

Lot's more detail others will go into before I can get back here and complete my thoughts I'm sure.

Moved from Jellyfin to Plex tonight. Wife approval factor +100%.

@Obsolesce said in LibreOffice - Runs so slowly:

Licensing for O365 products just doesn't go away like it did in your experience, preventing users from using office. You can't base things off of anomalies or your fringe case.

It does all the time, actually. Properly licensed MS Office installs will often experience licensing problems that require intervention. This is often caused by an end user signing into a personal or secondary Microsoft account elsewhere (like in a web browser.) It's extremely common.

Don't get me started on how bad it is when you forget to use and the close all incognito windows. You sign into one client's account to reset a password and the admin window you end up in some other random account. Nobody can convince me that is not a total security nightmare waiting to happen!

I will never buy Lenovo. I did not like them before they got caught stealing info.

ALso, tha tis Windows 10 S mode. No thanks.

Wait - stealing info? I don't know about that one.

I know about Superfish - installed shim in network stack you couldn't get rid of to allow advertisers, etc access into encrypted transmissions
and the BIOS thing would would reinstall the Lenovo tools under windows...

That's what Superfish does, sends data back to a Lenovo "partner" company. They can steal any data they want, and you can do nothing about it.

@DustinB3403 said in SCA grub2-setpassword not registering as passing:

Okay so this is a bit confusing as I've gone through this process and set a grub2 password and have confirmed it works by rebooting the system and making sure I can login.

What else needs to be completed here so this changes from failed to passed?

If you have a working bootloader password, then their script is f***** up. At least that'd be my first assumption about any script from an auditing company.

Know that saying "Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach." In IT it's "Those who can, do. Those who can't, audit."
