You need to be very careful with any security products these days. We find that the vast majority are just capitalizing on the security gold rush right now. My company gets to test alot of products and we find the vast majority to be pretty bad. I have no experience with Better Cloud, so I'm not saying it's good or bad. I'm just saying you have to be very careful with security application promises.

Full House with the kids.

@dave_c said in Building a Mail Server: @scottalanmiller https://iroute.io is another brand of the owner of MXroute . They use https://crossbox.io/ as a email web client and MailChannels to send emails. I haven't used MXroute nor iRoute but I know people that is a customer of the former (small amount of mailboxes) and they say that the service and support are great. Take it with a grain of salt. Crossbox looks pretty nice at a quick glance.

@FATeknollogee said in Comparing MeshCentral 2 to ScreenConnect: Auto-update is now working. I'm now on 0.2.8-n I'm on that too, now.

@matteo-nunziati said in Testing oVirt...: A bit OT but I've tried to find the suse competitor of RHV and I've not found it... Is there anything from suse? Probably but I've not used them for that in a long time. Would be interesting to know.

Now if only Protek would own up and admit what happened, we'd know some more. Without them willing to engage in a dialogue, everyone automatically kind of jumps to the worst possible case in their minds. Given that their remediation is not going well (that's how we found out about it, they weren't actively fixing affected customers for a while, and possibly not at all yet, we don't know) it seems like going public with an apology and explanation would be the best thing to do.

@black3dynamite said in Miscellaneous Tech News: @DustinB3403 said in Miscellaneous Tech News: LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice vulnerable to same bug; only one is fixed LibreOffice, an open source clone of Microsoft Office, has patched a bug that allowed attackers to execute commands of their choosing on vulnerable computers. A similar flaw in Apache OpenOffice remains unfixed. LibreOffice is on another level compare to OpenOffice. Why is that project still alive. Development is fast and there are more options for installing LibreOffice. Totally this..

How are you feeling? a little better. i can keep food down. and i can at least leave my bed. That was the worst!!!!! I would sit up and my whole front and left side of my abdomen would be in pain. Hope that you feel better soon. Thank you! I was out since Saturday. Had to go to the ER right after i went to Urgent care. The doctor looked at me and transferred me away to get an xray. It was weird. But i got to leave the house which is nice. also my valentine's day present was my bill getting paid. which was very sweet.

@scottalanmiller Try with another separator instead of dash, just to make check if it's the dash or something else. Maybe just remove it altogether.

This absolutely blows my mind. The way they make music with motorcycle and siren sounds and the beautiful combination of a few voice samples that are scattered around the climax of the song is amaaaaaazing. The best part starts at min 1:10 Youtube Video

Managing 4 shortcuts for everyone with hardcoded links would be a nightmare to update. You mean "pretty dynamic" being the same as "totally freakin unreliable", with unknown uptime, unknown bandwidth, used by spammers and who-knows-what? That's why I said VPN service, like nordvpn. Which in this scenario is exactly the same thing as a proxy. Or set up your own proxy servers somewhere in the cloud. Right, but can you run 4 VPN services at the same time? And even if you can, can you configure a browser to use a specific VPN? Can you? Yes. Do most support this? No. Right - I know you can run for SSH sessions at once, so yeah right there - 4 VPN tunnels... but can you make it work as this person wants? Perhaps, I don't know how at this time - I guess Google would be my friend. AFAIK no one makes a VPN tool for this, but you can make your own for sure.

@dafyre said in Webroot to be acquired by Carbonite: We have been mandated to switch to Bitdefender away from Kaspersky (Political decisions, sigh). Kaspersky wasn't that bad, and it did work relatively well compared with the competition. Yeah, but still is a pain to manage... and renew...

@pmoncho said in Kerio Connect "license error: license exhausted, cannot allow another host": Based on the couple posts I have seen, each registered user can have five devices. So, if they have 30 devices, they need 6 user licenses. Did they add any extra devices lately? Easily, but more likely they just let their license expire.

@scottalanmiller said in I thought I had a lot of gear at home but WTF?!?: @tonyshowoff said in I thought I had a lot of gear at home but WTF?!?: @scottalanmiller said in I thought I had a lot of gear at home but WTF?!?: The thing with this network is that it's focused on the gadgets, not the tech. From a tech side, it's pretty weak and the author doesn't really even know the stuff that he has... I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed, there were a few times were I was like "..that's not what that means/does/is" Definitely someone not very familiar with it. Appears not to have learned to much on that side of things even after having installed and presumably used it. Sounds like I should have read the entire thing instead of just glancing at a few highlights.

At this point, I'm assuming anything Cisco has an unpublished admin user/password somewhere! https://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20190212-nae-dos This one seems like an actual bug, and not a hard coded password. From what I read, the TL;DR version is that when you change your web interface password, it doesn't change your CLI password. I didn't get a chance to do more than glance at this one. That's actually worse. How do you screw up a credential system that bad? This is actually a very common design. Nearly all systems are this way. One password is to the system, one is to the application on the system. Totally normal. You're assuming it was supposed to be designed that way. No, I'm stating that it is super normal and expected. It's only that you assume that it is supposed to be designed differently that makes it seem weird. It's good to tie the two together in many cases, but very few vendors do, it should never be assumed. Then shouldn't you also have different account names as well? Not having a different account name, or documentation clearly spelling the difference out, creates a human based security hole. (Not that people actually read documentation.) Also, just because it's common, doesn't mean it's right. (Just getting it out there.)

@Pete-S said in Windows: Set screen to blank when locked?: Sorry, I should have explained more clearly what I'm try to accomplish. I want to screen to blank, which is what causes the screen to go into power saving mode. Not just setting it to a black color. Blanking is tech speak for when the graphics adapter would turn of either one or both of the horizontal and vertical sync signals and thereby communicate to the display that the screen is not in use and it can go into one of it's power saving modes. Lock windows computer =>> screen goes into power save mode right away. Computer don't go into sleep until it does so by it's normal settings. So then this might apply to this

I just had discovered on a recent audit a Barracuda Backup device, but I was able to get the account login for the cloud and local account. I used the email of the previous IT person and the administrator password. If you don't know the account or password at this point is better to reset and start over or contact Barracuda Technical Support...
