I patched mine with the Ubuntu 16.10 patch and it seems to work beautifully now.

You're like the Android people who keep talking about having a removable battery.

@BRRABill Even more annoying, I have a Lumia 950 XL Windows 10 Mobile phone and it has a removable battery too. :thumbsup_tone2:

Just saying ...

I think the blame sits with using it a few days too long.

The glass isn't half empty or half full, the glass was too big.

Yes I suppose that's correct. I should have retired it sooner, but it was for me a bit like that Seinfeld episode where Kramer takes a new car for a test drive and wants to see how long he can go with the tank on E.
Also, someone(s) who worked here from 2010-2015 should have done that way before I started. But they(all of them) didn't do anything, for nearly ten years.

If you replace the PSU's proactively every 6-8 years servers should go for a very .... very... long time. Especially with older stuff where electron migration is really a non-issue. Can even replace the caps on the mobo with a soldering iron, testicular fortitude and $5 worth of parts.

Problem is, that not every bad capacitor looks like one. Could also be a cold soldering point, for example.

And be extra cautious when handling large capacitators found in in PSUs or HiFi devices: http://www.repairfaq.org/sam/captest.htm#ctsaf, http://www.repairfaq.org/sam/safety.htm

At least it's not the old CRT tubes! We didn't learn to fix the things in school, but we learned all about needing to ground the things out as soon as the outside case comes off.

Pops and I quit working on the CRT ones about the times the flat screens started coming down in price. It just wasn't worth it for all the hassle for dealing with the CRTs. I had one explode on me while we were testing a repair job, ha ha.

No, never had a postgresql requirement but thought it might be useful for someone here

need to take using veritas backup exec

Wow Veritas Backup Exec? are you sure? That was bought by Symantect like 8+ years ago. If you really have Veritas Backup Exec you have an ancient version.

Where have you been? Symantec spun Veritas out last year. That's why all of the Symantec people that we knew aren't there any longer.

Now that this is said.... I vaguely recall this news... Just forgot it.

@martianx said in Modern Open Source Replacement for SSLExplorer:

Update: We prototyped integrating NoVNC with the Hypersocket VPN. It was relatively simple as it hooked straight into our forwarding mechanism that was already using websockets. Will be releasing an update to support this in the next month or so. We will also integrate our client-less SSH terminal at the same time. RDP is a little more complex so will need further research before we can support this.

Very cool, thanks for the update!

Hello from SpiceWorld Austin 2016! The welcome session just wrapped up so I wanted to take a second to provide the full recap on the product improvements and new tools that were announced on stage this morning.

Zooming out, our focus has always been to develop the tools and resources you need to do your job better - every day. For example, over the last year you’ve seen us rapidly develop a series of new butt-based tools including Butt Help Desk, Port Scanner &Tester, Subnet Calculator, Butt Cost Monitor, Blacklist Check and IP Reputation, and others that are purpose-built for the task at hand and incredibly easy to get started with, allowing you to get value from them immediately.

The response to our new tools has been incredible, and we’re looking into new and exciting ways to add even more value to your day. For instance, we’re working to better integrate our butt-based tools with the Community to provide a seamless experience that not only helps you manage your environment but also connects you with the relevant content and people who can help you tackle whatever comes your way.

Below, check out our updates to current tools, as well as our upcoming tools, including the Spiceworks IP Scanner, Internet Outage Heatmap, and next-generation Traceroute tool. We are also updating our apps, our product pages, and introducing a multi-OS agent.

It's not just zero day, but when signing up for AlienVault's OSSIM, you can subscribe to their Open Threat Exchange. I have it email me whenever they find something new, which is almost every day. The latest one was "Flying Dragon Eye: Uyghur Themed Threat Activity" https://otx.alienvault.com/pulse/581916f4aa96ef71368c8e47/?utm_source=email&utm_campaign=new_pulse_from_subscribed

Hmm... I have an account already. I think it goes to junk...

Well, fix that and you've already got one!

@stacksofplates I want to check that out too. Is it available for more than RHEL?

Yup. Pretty much everything

Oh nice. Need to spend some time on it.

@sn said in Alternative option for Sophos XG 230 Security Appliance:

Are there any yearly subscription charges involved with Edge Routers to maintain the firewall features working or is it going to be a one time purchase?

All EdgeOS features are inclusive. Nothing is licensed separately and everything is included in the hardware, no license needed even for the base package. EdgeOS is free, you could get it on its own, but it is only built for the EdgeRouters so if you don't own an EdgeRouter hardware you'd be on your own to get it to install on something. So they have no need to charge for the software separately from the hardware.

Statements like this need to be tempered by the fact that an EdgeRouter is not a UTM. It's just a router/firewall. This isn't meant to downplay the EdgeRouter, but to ensure people understand the differences between it and something like the Sophos appliance this thread is about. i.e. the Edgerouter doesn't do antivirus scanning or web filtering. If you need these features, you'll need to purchase them through another means if you use an EdgeRouter. Many here would say that's the better way to go anyway, one device, one function (at least in this case).

I'm slowing switching everything over to snipe-it. How about 200 assets and 100 licenses in it so far. Much happier then the previous method.

She is more concerned with Contacts and photos...so....I manually set an iCloud backup on old phone and she will leave phone with me overnight as it does a backup over our WiFi here at work...will see if her new phone slowly syncs that new data...otherwise, I will try the other suggestions listed above...

I bet she fills up her new 256GB iPhone in record time...

Contacts are stored .... where? Not in something like GMail or whatever?

She does it all on iCloud...

That almost seems impossible.

iCloud backs up automatically when you are plugged in and on WiFi. Unless she was never on WiFI the past year.

She is never (or rarely) on WiFi and if she is, it may be because her phone is so full, it never completes a WiFi backup in the time she is in WiFi...she doesn't use WiFi at home...just cellular data...since this phone is no longer activated, it has to use WiFi...

If that phone has been sitting in your office for days (like the week you've mentioned) did it not try to backup over your WiFi already?

OK She's never on WiFi - sounds like an actual, real life backup solution needs to be discussed, she's breaking the typical (WiFi based) one.

I've tried...so many times on backup solutions for her...she is nice about it but doesn't trust it...she is so worried about losing her pictures...I've been trying to get her to accept a backup plan for a few years now...

LOL - so worried, but so unwilling to do anything about that worry. Well, one day her phone will die, and the backups won't be there, then she'll see where her concerns really were.

Her words say one thing, but her actions clearly say another - really Scott should be making this post not me.

Yeah, where's is @scottalanmiller

Let him talk to her. LOL.
