@XYjacobsson That must be AWS Route 53, that's one of the few that requires that.

System time is generally viewed as UTC Time - which I can understand for standardization.
Will have to 'adjust' my expectations.

@gjacobse said in Windows 11 Remove PIN and Only Use Password Instructions:

@scottalanmiller

I may have an account I have forgotten about
But I continue to use local only. I believe they call it an “Offline Account”

On my personal Windows laptop, I use my Microsoft account (MFA'd). It makes things all around that way more convenient for me. To avoid passwords, and because I want that separated, I use Windows Hello (fingerprint or PIN). Then BitLocker (TPM 2.0+), and of course the BitLocker Startup PIN.

On my personal Linux laptop, basically the same thing as above, but SW level encryption.
I'm looking forward to trying Ubuntu's TPM-backed Full Disk Encryption soon! I haven't had time yet.

Moving from that port which was only giving 10FDx to an unused port, gave us 1000FDx.

I'm not sure where this issue stems from..

Got it sorted out, for some reason (and I'm still working on the specifics) our ESXi hosts secondary NIC keeps falling to 10FDx (likely some misconfiguration at setup).

I've moved XO off of this nic, and performance has been fixed.

If you want to improve ESXi performance, install KVM.

Yea, that's a different conversation entirely, I do want a outside of the XCP-ng pool environment, in case something goes sideways. I'm dealing with some sunkcost conversations about it, though I am making progress.

@scottalanmiller said in New Building Considerations ...:

Build a super dedicated, fully cooled, fully wired, LARGE space with room to move about data closet on a raised floor.

I'm in the camp of a consistent temperature, regardless if it's 72 or 80 degrees, doesn't matter to me.

Everywhere I've worked aside from datacenters, has had power outages and then concerns about condensation forming on/in equipment.

More resilient power to the AC unit with a properly setup UPS to shutdown in the event of a outage seems way more important than the rest.

I don't disagree with having space to work.

@Obsolesce said in Define Air Gapped Networks:

@DustinB3403 said in Define Air Gapped Networks:

When using terminology like "Air Gapped" what is your first impression of it?

When I see someone say they have an air gapped network, I think it to mean that the network is separate from the rest of the organization (through a physical disconnect), and that Air Gapped, does not imply the lack of internet.

Air Gapped != Without Internet

What's your opinion?

An air gapped network is indeed physically isolated from other networks, but the key yiur missing is that it is also isolated from the Internet. The primary characteristic being lack of any connection to outside networks, including the internet.

It's not the "connection to the outside" that violates the air gap, the issue is that if BOTH networks connect to the Internet or any shared network, it clearly isn't air gapped. Air gapped systems can never talk to each other without a different mechanism passing messages in between that crosses the air gap.

You misinterpreted what I wrote. Coupled with the first sentence, it's clear. Also, outside being outside said network, not necessarily public networks.

It's now 2/15/2024 with Fedora 39, and this is still working.

Just setup a new reverse proxy.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone.
Got a few better options than when I started 😁

What are you doing that LANCACHE is useful for? Do you install the same games to several computers inside your house?

@DustinB3403

Ha! That's the thing though, I am curious if sudo will be (at least partially derived) from the sudo we know and love, or will it be Microsoft's own thing that happens to use a command named sudo.

@gjacobse You should consider publishing this and others (sanitizing of course) to GitLab or GitHub. It can serve as a reference for you as well as a bit of a portfolio. I know for a fact my GitLab stuff had a positive effect with helping me land my current gig.

@JasGot Thanks everyone. This was very helpful. And that other discussion was too.

After further discussion with them, they are only trying to protect the routing and account number for accounts. The same routing and account number that is printed on their check and sent through us mail.

They agreed, this level of secure transmission is not required.

Thanks.....

@syko24 said in Move FSMO Roles Using PowerShell | Active Directory Domain Controller AD DC:

I'm a fan of the one liner assuming you are transferring all roles to the same DC.

Move-ADDirectoryServerOperationMasterRole -Identity "DC-Server" -OperationMasterRole 0,1,2,3,4 0: PDCEmulator 1: RIDMaster 2: InfrastructureMaster 3: SchemaMaster 4: DomainNamingMaster

Me too. This is what I normally use. SOOOO helpful.

Not sure why powershell made it so complicated to find who has the roles.
netdom query fsmo was so easy.

Finally got this working, reporting my issues here incase someone with similar issues stumbles upon this thread.

The T54W phones would not download the xml files by https (may be because I do not have a valid certificate setup). I could via the xml files in browser on https but phones would wait awhile and fail.
I am doing auto provisioning via http, but my default admin port was set to 8080. I could not download xml files via http with admin port on 8080.
Once I changed the admin port back to default 80, I was able to download xml files via http.
Phones can now download the php/xml files via http.
I changed permissions for the php files back to rw/rw/r with owner asterisk:asterisk

Auto Provisioning was another headache. Eventually I found out that I had the config settings wrong, was using features.remote_phonebook.data.1.url instead of the correct remote_phonebook.data.1.url

My working basefile edits (using EPM):

directory_setting.remote_phone_book.enable = 1 remote_phonebook.data.1.name = Internal remote_phonebook.data.1.url = http://<pbx-ip>/ylab.php features.remote_phonebook.enable = 1 remote_phonebook.data.2.name = External remote_phonebook.data.2.url = http://<pbx-ip>/cm_to_yl_ab.php

With directory_setting.remote_phone_book.enable = 1
You do not need the favorite_settings.xml to enable the remote directory. But it will put local directory as the first option and remote phonebook as the second option after hitting the directory key.

I have added this code to change the order:

directory_setting.local_directory.priority = 2 directory_setting.remote_phone_book.priority = 1

Or to get rid of the local directory

directory_setting.local_directory.enable = 0

Yealink has a Config Parameter Excel file that has all the config parameters and reading it is what lead me to find my mistake.

Thank you so much for considering giving HelpWire a try! We truly appreciate your interest. I'm here not to spam, but to address your concerns directly.

Concerning the "too good to be true" perception, I understand that this often stems from privacy concerns related to using a free (and new) product. So, what's the catch, you might wonder?

Initially, we launched HelpWire as a free service to establish a foothold in a market where competitors offer a broader range of features. That's the entire story.

I assure you, we do not sell any private information to third parties to cover our expenses. Instead, HelpWire is supported by our parent company, Electronic Team, Inc., which has a range of successful products generating revenue to support HelpWire's post-launch phase.

Will there be a paid tier in the future? Yes, but that's still a long way off. Even then, HelpWire will continue to offer a comprehensive set of features for free. Currently, every feature and functionality is available for extensive use, free of any limitations.

I hope this clears up any concerns! If you have more questions or need further clarification, feel free to post them here (I'll keep an eye on this thread) or contact our support team at support(at)electronic(dot)us.

Check for driver updates, ensure that your Radeon graphics card has the latest drivers installed. You can download the latest drivers from the manufacturer's website or use an automated driver updater tool.

@NetworkNerd

1. Identify the Cause of High Disk IO and CPU Wait MariaDB Activity: Since mariadb is showing high IO during the problematic window, it's crucial to identify the queries causing this load. You can enable the slow query log in MariaDB to capture queries that are taking an unusually long time to execute. Scheduled Tasks: Check for any scheduled tasks (cron jobs) on the server that run around 5 AM CST. These could be system tasks, WordPress cron jobs, or database maintenance tasks. 2. Systemd-journald Failure The failure of systemd-journal-flush.service suggests that the journaling system is overwhelmed, likely due to the high IO load. Investigate the journal logs (journalctl) for any errors or warnings that occur around this time. 3. Review WordPress Plugins and Activities Plugin Behavior: Even though plugins like Updraft Plus are scheduled for different times, they might be triggering background tasks. Verify plugin behavior and logs. WordPress Cron: WordPress has its own cron system (wp-cron.php) that can sometimes trigger resource-intensive tasks. Review the WordPress cron events. 4. Server and Database Optimization Database Optimization: Run a check and optimization task on your MariaDB database. Over time, databases can become inefficient and slow. Upgrade Resources: An e2-micro instance is quite limited in resources. If this issue is related to resource constraints, consider upgrading the VM instance type. 5. Monitoring and Logs Enable Enhanced Monitoring: Tools like sar, iotop, or atop can provide in-depth system metrics. Make sure they are configured correctly. Access and Error Logs: Review NGINX, PHP-FPM, and MariaDB logs for any anomalies during the problematic time frame. 6. External Factors Traffic Spikes: Although Jetpack stats show low traffic, consider checking the access logs for unexpected traffic spikes, which might be bots or crawlers. Network Analysis: Use tools to monitor network activity. Unexpected external connections might be contributing to the load. 7. Testing and Isolation Isolate Components: Temporarily disable certain components or plugins during the problem window to see if the issue persists. Test in a Staging Environment: If possible, replicate the setup in a staging environment to test without affecting the live site.
