@olivier I was thinking of XO in particular, but this would be a good way to get the word out about your project for anyone. FLOSS Weekly, email [email protected] if you're interested in getting some free advertising.
Yeah, the entire show is basically free advertising for open source projects.
@Tim_G said in Pentagon Warns Against Using Lenovo Equipment:
I see Lenovo adds ALL over the place on spiceworks. No idea why.
Just me?
Lenovo is one of a select few companies that spend lots and lots of money on advertising with Spiceworks. They seem to get special treatment from that. Also makes me question weather I can continue to trust anything Spiceworks related 
@scottalanmiller There is the "trusted domains" section of the config.php file. I don't think ownCloud throws that error when the trusted domains isn't set correctly tho.
Software engineer Ian Duffy found the flaws while building a secure RHEL image for Microsoft Azure. During that process he noticed an installation script Azure uses in its preconfigured RPM Package Manager contains build host information that allows attackers to find all four Red Hat Update Appliances which expose REST APIs over HTTPS.
From there Duffy found a package labelled PrepareRHUI (Red Hat Update Infrastructure) that runs on all Azure RHEL boxes, and contains the rhui-monitor.cloud build host.
Duffy accessed that host and found it had broken username and password authentication. This allowed him to access a backend log collector application which returned logs and configuration files along with a SSL certificate that granted full administrative access to the four Red Hat Update Appliances.
Duffy says all Azure RHEL images are configured without GPG validation checks meaning all would accept malicious package updates on their next run of yum updates.
I mean, even I make sure that GPG is enabled. Guess this could be included in the "Burned by eschewing best practices" thread as well.
I'm also wondering if that rhui-monitor.cloud host is a Microsoft or RedHat run server?
@wirestyle22 Have to ask, is it connected via a POTS line or SIP/VOIP?

I survived the 24hour LAN party with no sleep just fine, but woke up to a dead sump pump
Oh, I bet that was lovely! You get it fixed yet, or you gotta call someone out?
Yeah, we put another one in right away. The carpet in the basement will take a few days to dry out and we'll be good.
Glad you got it sorted!
I'm feeling the carrying a bunch of 8 gallon buckets of water up the stairs from the wet vac till the new sump showed up!
"Rule #4: Cardio"
What was that zombie/comedy movie with the rules, but you only get like half of the rules of survival?
Amazon Snowmobile
To be fair, I first saw it on Spiceworks, but it was only a link to the Wired article.
Even with a one gigabit per-second connection such as Google Fiber, uploading 100 petabytes over the internet would take more than 28 years. At an average speed of 65 mph, on the other hand, you could drive a Snowmobile from San Francisco to New York City in about 45 hours—about 4,970 gigabits per second. That doesn’t count the time it takes to actually transfer the data onto Snowmobile–which Amazon estimates will take less than 10 days–or from the Snowmobile onto Amazon’s servers. But all told, that still makes the truck much, much faster.
I knew I missed my true calling, I should be driving everyone's data around the country faster than you could possibly download/upload it!
Hey Amazon, I can do computer networking, administration, service and drive a truck, what's an all-in-one driver/service person expect to make?
@LAH3385 said in SSL Certificates Wildcard... where do you get it from? $$$?:
How long has certBot and LetsEncrypt been around?
About 6 months after I got my lazy wildcard cert, dang it all.
@Dashrender said in What Are You Doing Right Now:
There will always be those who don't want to sit around and play Xbox all day long. Some people (I'm thinking Scott as an example here) who nearly always have to be doing something. Sure, there will be tons of people doing nothing, but why should they be enslaved to work, if our technology can do it for them and take care of nearly everything else too?
You're trying to apply technology to a social issue. We could have completely automated farms and housing construction and we'd still have the same problems.
Softpedia reporting on the new release.
The big new feature? You can now copy/paste into the message input area....
It only took them to version 1.15 for that? Really? Sounds like this release should be around .5 not 1.15 to me.
Spotted the server side of AMD's new architecture. The raw numbers look good, but HotHardWare only had AMD's own performance review, which was obviously a 1 sided performance comparison... AMD didn't even put the same amount of memory in both systems.
I really want to see the performance comparison from a non-biased source.
The CPUs are 32 core/64 thread, 8 memory channels (16 total memory slots), and 128 lanes of PCIe per chip. Should be able to put massive amounts of workloads on those things... we'll see.
So I started my zabbix vm today, and it's broken. Where's Scotty when I need him? Engineering, more power!
You're all nuts! No wonder I hang out around here so much 
My personal favorite 1 liner from the story: Neiderman claims to have discovered 40 previously undiscovered security flaws, including those that would allow hackers to run code without having physical access to the device.
So anything with Tizen is on the same level as Lenovo. Just what we don't need.
@DustinB3403 I use a Drupal blog. Simple and easy to manage.

Wondering how much it's costs to get @scottalanmiller to come In and talk hardware refresh with us
I really want to move from 3 hosts + SAN, to Scale system. But I know our current MSP will befell the board and get them to buy a SAN.
So you have your resume ready to go, right? Because if you know that, you know exactly how valuable they see you as.
