@BBigford said in Lightweight Linux...:

Since LXDE is just the desktop environment, what is the most popular distro really being downloaded since it can be used on many?... Lubuntu?

Was also looking into VectorLinux Light with LXDE...

I general avoid light distros, light ones and heavy ones are REALLY close to each other until you get to really ridiculously unusably light. So Mint, Fedora, Suse or Lubuntu would be the way that I would go. We use LXDE here on Mint 18.

Yeah, the last query went from just standard DATE and pulled the same exact results as using RECEIVED and SENT.

I would do this: https://www.freepbx.org/appointment-reminder/

Much cheaper in the long run.

@Minion-Queen said in GTX1080, 1070, 1060... which would you get for gaming? 2-3 years future proof?:

Get the best for your budget. For only 1080p, I don't think you'd need more than the 1060 for a long while, but as @Breffni-Potter said above, you really can't truly know in the gaming industry. Every once in a while, some game will come along that requires very beefy hardware, and you may want to play it. This current generation of cards is geared towards 1440p and 2160p gaming. The best bet is to always get the best NEW card in your budget. Also, don't forget about AMD cards!

I've stuck by a philosophy for years that has served me well. It probably isn't even really necessary with today's GPU markets... If I'm building a gaming rig, I want an NVIDIA card. If I'm doing Graphics work, or Video Editing, I want an AMD card.

So now, the only way for someone to get my info is to physically come in my house and take it (which is a different discussion).

There is always another means of compromise, just thinking that there isn't itself is a security risk. One that I guarantee AWS' security team (ranked the best in the world) doesn't make. They also have monitoring and people there 24x7 always watching everything with the best AI and the best human I that there is. Nothing you do gives you the tools that they have, nothing.

But beyond that, the fact that someone could grab your stuff physically alone is enough to end the discussion. Amazon effectively removes that risk. You can't physically target data at Amazon. You can't target it via software tools, you can't target it with guys and a trunk and guns. You have to attack through different vectors.

This.
I keep getting shot down for so many services we could have hosted because our Sprint contracts say we can't use a hosting provider because the cloud is insecure. Same goes for anything HIPPA. But cloud security and monitoring is far superior to anything I could offer on a budget. If I had a ton of time... Maybe. But I don't, and that would cost the client a ton more even if I did.

HIPAA does NOT undermine security.

I would hope not. Intentionally not looking at every secure resource is just flat out negligent and naive. But I haven't had to do anything with HIPAA, yet. I've only talked to some of the admins at our local hospital about it.

HIPAA just has statements like "equal to or above standard industry security practice". It's very general and puts it on the IT and security teams to ensure that they are meeting basic security practices. If anything, having data not on an enterprise cloud should be a red flag and trigger an audit generate a sysadmin resume.

FTFY. 😄

@FATeknollogee said in XenServer: Backup & Replication:

I assumed we "are" talking about 7.0?

Yes, it works on XS7.

@DustinB3403 was running into the same issues I was on 6.5.

There is dicsussion that some other process is changing it back, but we have not started to troubleshoot that. (I no longer have any XS6.5 boxes here.)

Make it stop....please....no more....too much ethics.....

Do they swell with barometric pressure or are you suggesting that the ramp agents throwing it around can cause a battery to become unstable?

Yes.

The question was an either or... So I'm guessing 'yes' is to both in combination. 😄

Your guess is correct. When all options are correct, I do tend to answer with just a single yes instead of further elucidating.

Ubuntu beats CentOS in containerization, cloud computing, embedded systems, desktops, mobile devices. Lots of places, but not the ones that apply here 🙂

@nvila said in Connection lost:

@scottalanmiller User > AP > switch > firewall > internet. how do you want me to describe it?

You can setup your ping tester to ping each of these devices to see what stops responding.

Yes, feed back on solutions to us. We spent time trying to help.

Do a check disk on it as well. It might have errors and windows might have mounted it read only for safety.

If your laptop has established try connecting with that. You'll probably need to use the drive caddy to provide power if possible.

Wow crazy problem, never seen that before.

PuTTY, CentOS.
I also use Consolas, 14pt text.

Fonts are a client-side thing, the data is plain ASCII/UTF8/whatever

Didn't say it wasn't.
I mentioned PuTTY in Windows. I particularly like Consolas, I also use it for programming.

Didn't mean to offend you, just wanted to clarify. Not everyone here is a Linux guru 😉

OMG, that sounds very SAM-ish...

Here you go.

OH, you said SAM-ish, whoops.

I think Nextcloud integrates with the Web version of LibreOffice if I'm not mistaken?

Yup

@thwr said in Apache 2 and Ldap Auth:

Awesome, glad you found a solution. Please be aware that auth basic is plaintext, just base64-encoded. Better use at least SSL to protect at the transport layer.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication#Client_side

Yes, I know. First thing I did when I setup this server was to add a cert, setup the SSL and create a rewrite rule to force all access over SSL (HTTPS). This auth stuff is also only in the default-ssl.config file.
