@aaronstuder said in Synology High-Availability Cluster: @pmoncho I already have the units, so I am just looking for how to set it up. This location has no room for a rack/servers/etc. Seems like Shared Folder Sync should do what I want it to do. Ah, making use of what you have. Synology HA will be fine as long as you are using the Synologies appropriately.

@scottalanmiller said in Testing oVirt...: Yes, but there is a lot of legacy stuff that isn't going anywhere. Most people have to deal with legacy stuff indefinitely. I get recruiter calls all the time, and they all want the new shiny tech, not old legacy knowledge. At least all the recruiters who have a decent offer on hand. The ones who want old school sysadmins to work on old systems that aren't going anywhere, are offering miniscule wages. And like I mentioned above - there are means of dealing with legacy stuff in containers, just like when vmware was starting to become prominent, a lot of effort was invested in supporting older OS inside a VM, so that people would be able to move away from old hardware

@dustinb3403 I just opt-out of Discord, problem solved.

I don't really understand the question. A proxy and a VPN serve different purposes. Proxies are not for transmission security nor LAN expose. VPN is assumed to be about LAN extension with a secure wrapper. I can't think of a case where the two could overlap. What use case are you envisioning?

@guyinpv said in Synology one bad sector crashes whole volume RAID0: Frankly I just thought it would be more robust. I mean, I know it "can" fail, just didn't think it would be within a year. I also know my car tires can get blowouts, but I don't expect one every month or two either. Statistically, you'd expect it to be around a year. RAID 0 is incredibly unstable because it takes the risk of a single drive and magnifies it dramatically. So if the average failure of a single drive is, maybe, once every six years, RAID 0 with four drives would make that every 1.5 years on average. And that's just an average. So well inside the bell curve are failures at six months and three years. And RAID 0 has failures that cause all data loss that don't cause full data loss on single drives. The RAIDing process making RAID 0 astronomically more dangerous than just 4x the risk of a lone drive.

@brrabill said in I have to change cloud drive service yet again: @guyinpv said in I have to change cloud drive service yet again: Our account level of O365 doesn't include Sharepoint, just 1TB of OneDrive space. What are you on the "Business" plan? Maybe it's worth upgrading someone to the $4 a month more plan and getting a sharepoint site. Just one user? Or all users need higher plan to get it?

@ccwtech said in Ubiquity USG 3 Port with Centurylink Tecnicolor C-2100t: @jaredbusch Because the device is offline while you are configuring the PPOE on the WAN side, there is a place for VLAN tagging in the UI for the USG. You can put in the username, password and there is a checkbox for VLAN. I have tired it with checking the box for VLAN and putting in 201. I have also tried the PPOE credentials without checking the box for VLAN. See this is why I said that.. Nothing I was jsut talking about has jack shit to do with the USG. I was exclusively discussing the C2100T

@dustinb3403 said in Do you setup SSL for Intranet websites only: @dafyre I get the point, but these systems literally go no where. It's a dead end even if anyone was sniffing my network. There was no point to his post. SO to say you get it means you are reading into something or assuming something. @dustinb3403 said in Do you setup SSL for Intranet websites only: @JaredBusch I'm assuming you think it wouldn't be worth it for these tiny systems? Stop and think about the process, this is not that hard to understand. How would you even get a trusted certificate on the box? LE works buy reaching back to you to verify the server nonce and issues the certificate. You cannot do that because that ONLY works on http/https. You cannot forward that through your router to everything. That is not how networking works. You can try to DNS verification, but then you need to have public DNS records for all of these servers and associated text records with the challenge nonce. That is in addition to your internal DNS being setup to route to these systems. Or you buy long term certs (or a wildcard) form someplace and use that. That at least only needs configured once every year or two.

@dariena said in If you are new drop in say hello and introduce yourself please!: Hey folks, Darien, in MD just above DC, and... yeah computers... I used to live in the Annapolis area (Arnold) and worked downtown.

OK, thanks for the update. I'll hold off until I hear more.

Just think of what a different discussion this would be if MS just allowed you to spin up a free AD server, that just had AD, like Hyper-V Server.

Going to see MC Chris tonight!!! He will playing this album in its entirety. So in the spirit of the holiday, here's a song about dying and becoming a zombie. Youtube Video

Meatball sub from a Food Truck. Was pretty good.

I've been battling with VPN on Windows 10 ever since the latter came out. And if you do a quick google search, you'll find thousands with all kind of VPN issues on 10. Here's the only thing that worked so far, and I only discovered it yesterday. In registry, find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\PolicyAgent, then add AssumeUDPEncapsulationContextOnSendRule DWORD key, and change value to 2 and reboot.

@scottalanmiller said in 802.1x port-based authentication - when and why?: ...(like they knocked the cable off a desk and it plugged itself in as it fell.) This feels like it should be a meme of some sort.

I generally learn best by actually doing things. Which is why I rent a server to use for a home lab. I can go install stupid stuff and break things without caring all that much.

As many as 9.5 Million fake post for the repeal of NN are suspected of being supplied by lobbying firms; NY AG has subpeoned multiple companies to get the truth.

I found a post where someone blamed the way chrome uses BITS for updates. They claimed that removing chrome, then resetting BITS would solve it. I didn’t have time to test before my trip.

Everytime I see @scottalanmiller's face it surprises me. I know I've scrolled down too far though.

@danp said in Vultr - Canada: Must just be a coincidence that it occurred on the same day that pot became legal. Wink wink

@scottalanmiller said in PVLAN (private VLAN) in the switch - are you using it?: PVLAN, or Port Isolation as I think most of us know it, is one of the better uses of VLAN tech. The idea is for extreme environments (not really SMB generally) when normal security measures are not enough, that you make an individual VLAN for every single device on the network so that you control via central firewall a second layer of access for every single port that there is. There are certainly legit cases for this. And I've worked for one of those places. But it's super rare. It is a lot of work, requires gear that supports it, and adds a lot of complication that you have to consider. It also adds a good deal of security. In the SMB, most places have over the top security already and zero day threats rarely threaten OS level firewalls. So PVLAN, while legit, rarely has appreciable value to an SMB. But when you need that "second firewall per device", then yes, it's definitely the way to go. Makes sense, but I'm thinking it doesn't have to be that much more work if you can apply automation to switch management as well. I think you can do port isolation on the virtual switches in VM hosts in the same way as the physical ones. I understand that at least VMware has had it for a long time so assume other have it now as well.

@jmoore said in Windows 10 goes to sleep outside listed sleep times: @dashrender Thanks that is interesting. I've encountered that a few times but not often. Had no idea why it showed up a little and not all the time. This is the most frustrating part - I have 100 PCs, but only two people complaining about the problem. The second one is only today. It's likely/possible that others just aren't reporting it. The problem also temporarily goes away when you reboot. It only happens (the system going into sleep after 2 mins of inactivity) after the system goes into sleep mode following the listed times (in my case 15 mins). I.e. the user goes to lunch or leaves desk for a while, returns, they wake it up, now it will go to sleep after 2 mins of inactivity. but if they reboot, it's fine, until it goes back to sleep after 15 mins of inactivity.

@nadnerb said in Light vs Dark Theme: Now that I've picked up Dark Reader (Chrome Extension), I feel that I have completely turned to the dark side. My red lightsaber is under construction. Interesting extension... I just gave it a go. It isnt for me, but much more tolerable than most dark themes I have seen.

Classic Curtis.

If all goes to plan, this weekend is yet another Harry Potter movie marathon.

Sounds fun, going to have to make this happen.
