In your situation, you may need to ask help from a Broken Android Data Extraction tool. It helps you extract data from a broken screen or dead Android phone.

A Pi Hole might be better for this home client.

Compare to what bitdefender box provides PiHole only does ad blocking. Minds well setup a squid box with squidguard instead.

No one here uses Untangle ?

Nope, have never found it to be that great. Not that it is bad, but having used it, it was only so so.

@dashrender said in Mileage tracking app - any suggestions?:

Well - apparently our tax advisors have stated that we only need to monitor driving habits for two weeks, then use that data to extrapolate the expected business trips and do math... /sigh.. whatever.

Yeah, that's way easier.

What NFS server do you have?

Turns out the thing I was looking for was LLDP protocol.

Sometimes, it's all in how you ask the question -_-

@jrc said in How to install and enable Gnome shell extensions:

It turns out that while I was running Ubuntu 17.10, it had been upgraded from 17.04 and that upgrade had left the Unity UI installed and active. So the reason why I was not seeing the GNOME shell extension options in the tweaker tool was due to the fact that it was actually Unity and GNOME I was in. One hell of a noob mistake.

Once I switched to GNOME, it was all working and I am much happier with GNOME over Unity.

I was going to say, you need to select which one you want to use 🙂

this is the list of things provided by the full agent

I wish that chart broke it down by

MS LIS and agent

I would try Linphone and ZoIPer. If neither of those make your users happy, then buy Bria. It is a really nice solution.

@brandon220 said in SFTP and cipher strength:

@scottalanmiller I am not connecting to the server. I just set it up and have no trouble connecting to it and moving files around for testing purposes. One of our vendors will connect to it and upload files. We will then go retrieve them. THEIR client software is not playing nice with the ciphers that are the default in Fedora. They as a company are always behind the curve on being up-to-date. They just need it to work. I've been reading for hours on end to make it compatible for them with no luck.

Right, I guess that's the question, if they can't keep their software secure, time to have a "come to Jesus" talk with them. This isn't a hard thing to do, the most incompetent IT department would still have current ciphers for their SSH. This implies that they are behind by decades and are laughing that you are still paying them when they aparently fired their IT staff in the 1990s.

That looks nightmareish for something that should be quite simple.

oVirt is super simple. They have a live boot ISO ready to go to install.

I dont think it is super simple at all, if you ask me it is big mess. Only usable in big IT corp.

What's difficult about it? In using it, it was just "install and bam, it worked". An SMB would find it far easier than the competition, from what I've used.

Isn’t there a script that can be reused at the end of setup, after installing the first time for quicker deployments?

That's easily possible, but not something that I've noticed.

@brrabill said in Your Library is an ISP:

So is the neighbor who doesn't have a WiFi password also an ISP?

@scottalanmiller said in Your Library is an ISP:

even your home would be an ISP if you were to intentionally provide public access, it looks like.

So the question is - is he intentionally providing public access? The bigger question to me is - is he legally allowed to provide public access - that's seemingly unlikely, I would expect the consumer connection he gets from his ISP does not allow him to grant public access, but maybe it does.

Right, to do that intentionally you need an upstream connection that hasn't forbidden that, and "all" consumer ISP connections forbid that in the contract.

@zachary715 No problem. But as I said, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the server install that you had. I simply always just do instructions from minimal. I never assume a person has anything more than that.

@scottalanmiller said

I twitched a little but tried to let it go.

It really does make a big difference, though.

Pinging @KOOLER and @Stuka @StarWind_Software

I was thinking ssh too.
You would need to run ssh into your vm from xs#
then run your template script, but save the machine name info as a variable that xs can use locally
Then run xe vm-param-set uuid=uuidofvm name-label=$variable
Then run xe vdi-param-set uuid=uuidofvm name-label=$variable.disk0
Or something like that. Youll probably have to mess with single and double quotes somewhere

@scottalanmiller said in Ubiquiti - piss poor customer service:

You are missing that it's not Ubiquiti causing the problem here. We don't know why different places are listing these products, what we do know is that according to Ubiquiti, they are early release and not eligible for resale.

Do you really think B&H would be selling product that's not officially available?

you didn't buy it from B&H, you got it from NewEgg, So I really wonder, is B&H (no clue who they even are - never heard of them before) just has a page up for pre-sales. Don't really know.

Everything on Ubiquiti's site points that the product is still in beta.

I had a quick look at some products here, and only Aircube seems listed on products page. No XG units, no application server, no PRO camera, no application server. If Aircube is still beta, it should be clearly marked as such on main product page, not in forums that are inaccessible without applying for early access.

I agree that it is not as obvious as might be useful. But it is important to understand that this is a universal standard to have products that are not released yet on product pages as if they are released. You can never tell, with any product or any vendor, the status of release in this way. Example Asus - their entire website is advertising products that have not released yet. You can't tell even when year products will release.

I don't like it either, it's a confusing way to let people know about products, but this is how everything works. Unless it explicitly tells you that it has released, you have to find out somewhere else. UBNT at least does have the info, vendors like Asus don't have it at all and leave you guessing until the product line is done and shut down. Sometimes you can never figure out if it ever released at all.

@kuyaz said in Database schema for user custom field in SAAS ie. salesforce:

@jaredbusch
I got project in CRM SAAS development.
So they want to add custom field feature like saleforce.

I am not trying to match their scale, just want to get some information about the database engine and structure, so we can at least stay under best practice guideline for such case.

The options I have currently :

EAV JSON Column (Mysql / Maria recently supported this). / POSTGRESQL NOSQL

Just not sure which is the best for my case above.

Why would Salesforce's decisions indicate a best practice or an appropriate practice for you? SF does a good job, don't get me wrong. But there are a lot of things to consider:

What SF is doing and what you are doing aren't related even if it is similar data types. So what is right for them at best gives you a starting point for you. SF is old, really old. That's not to say that they've not kept up, but they are dealing with loads and loads of legacy code, data, and decisions that aren't relevant to you. Just before SF made a decision, doesn't mean it's a good one. They might be living with some very bad decisions and just feel stuck with them or haven't evaluated other options. SF's scale is one of the biggest things that dictates their decisions, so you can't look to them for guidenace if it isn't their scale that you want dictating what you perceive. NoSQL is a massive pool of options, this doesn't exactly narrow things down. This isn't a case where best practices exist. That's not something you can look for. You can, at best, look to see what others have used, what has come about since then, and attempt to extrapolate based on guesses as to their logic.

@popester said in Trusted source for learning Cloud Backup:

@scottalanmiller I really, truly appreciate your patience and willingness to help. Thank you. I have reached out to the service to see what connection the vendor offers. It is Cloudsafe for those that would like to know.

Again thank you, I am really glad I found this group, everyone is top notch.

Chances are with a small provider like that, there is one way to use them and all decisions around "how" and "best practices" were made by whomever chose them as the service provider. There are unlikely to be any options around this.

WTF?

sudo dnf install -y https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm

That doesn't include the repo so it can easily update via dnf does it? Although chrome generally updated by itself so you may not need that functionality.

@scottalanmiller said in Thoughts on how I could improve my network security?:

There are places where router and firewall merge and can't be pulled apart - and that is NAT. A NAT translation is assumed to be part of the routing functions, but is a firewall. NAT literally makes the router and the firewall be the same component and function. Of course, in theory, you can have a router that doesn't do NAT, but in the real world, no one has made one since the early 1990s, and maybe not even then.

Exactly. When packets reach the NAT and have nowhere to go, they get dropped. That's firewall.

Yeah, NAT is also not the firewall.

But it is. NAT is a form of firewall. You can't NAT without firewall. But you also can't NAT without router. It's where the two are forced to overlap.

oh right... forgot about the base NAT policies. I was wrong there.
