@DustinB3403 Hello, yes you right, i haven't setup a certificate for wazo-plaform.org. My mistake, it was on my todo list, but i didn't have time to setup it. But now, it's done.

@scottalanmiller That's one hell of a run on sentence! Do you actually speak without pausing or breathing? 🙂

Recorded this in like May and it just posted today, but boy is it right for this discussion.

@Pete-S They list both the 61xx and 62xx as options for the R740XD.

Good!

What CPUs do you have in the R720 today? 1 or 2 CPUs?

Do you want the new ones to be faster or just capable of running more VMs?

I have 2 x E5-2609 CPUs in each server. I would like faster, but more VMs would be the priority.

The E5-2609 CPUs are at the low end of what was available at the time so no problem there.

Actually, are you looking to keep the old servers around for testing and such?
In that case you could just drop in refurbished CPUs that are faster and/or has more cores for very little money. If the server can take E5-2600 V2 you can get up to 12 core CPUs.

yeah, but Windows licensing is an issue, assuming multiple CPUs... for a test server, not likely worth going over the 16 cores. Not to mention the test server might require licensing (if needed beyond the 90 day test period for something).

Two 8-cores would be an option. For instance two E5-2690. They are 2.9 GHz base frequency and have 8 cores. About $100 each when buying refurbished.

About 50% faster per core (2609 have no turbo) and about 3 times faster multicore performance. Has more cache and faster memory transfer speed. Was a very high end CPU at the time. Was listed at $2000 while the E5-2609 was $300.

The fastest 8-core E5-2600 V2 CPU is the E5-2667 V2. 8 cores and base frequency of 3.3 GHz. It will likely also be an option for the R720XD. V2 uses 22nm technology so uses less power with the same clock speed and can fit more cores or run higher frequencies.

Can you create it with virsh? Wondering if it's just a virt-manager issue since they are deprecating it.

Over my dead body. I love virt-manager they kick that out and I will be kicking them out. not everyone wants web gui using resources and being inefficient with VNC protocol and opening another port.

The web gui hardly use enough resources for you to even notice.

I do agree, cause I have split personality but that said I still want virt-manager to be around. It is very mature and snappy.

Deprecated is probably the same as how ifconfig is deprecated it will be around forever.

@scottalanmiller

Hi,

Is suse Linux free to download and use without commerical support ?

Yes, both Leap (LTS) and Tumbleweed (rolling updates) versions. Suse has had a free option since the 1990s. I brought Suse to IBM in 2000 as our main platform in manufacturing.

Not until you actually do the actual re-branding

I've exported his PDF's and converted them to ODT files for editing, they are currently available from Github here I've sent @Ylian an email requesting he pull these files over so the community can assist with updating this documentation.

@quintana said in First look at the Wazo Platform:

@scottalanmiller With the API?

API would be interesting. I think for most users, without an API would be the more useful guide. Both, is ideal 😉

Since the images disappeared, I added them as code.

Also, Identity Management (FreeIPA) makes it really easy to store public keys in LDAP so any system joined to IdM can verify the key.

@Romo said in Does Windows 2016 Server have SSH?:

@Pete-S start and type winver

Awesome!

Unfortunately it's a version 1607 build 14393.3243.
So I can't install with powershell according to the article above.

@notverypunny said in All in one backup appliances:

OK, maybe I mis-spoke. Nothing community / unsupported.

Oh, that's entirely different. No connection to open source there. Open source has more support, not less.

Community versions of commercial products definitely help find bugs. Support is generally well searchable and many people are knowledgeable about it since it is more widely used than paid versions. Being able to have a community product where you then add support and features to it, is ideal.

Absolutely.

Postcards basically looks just like Textable, but is free.

OK huh - free? that seems unexpected... but, I'm guessing SMS between carriers is generally free nowadays... soooo....

You still pay for your SMS usage

In that case - Assuming all of your customers are on carriers that have an email to SMS gateway - you can do this completely free through email.

Now to discover that, you'll have to do some work - find what carriers are in use by your customers, then check for a gateway... that could be time consuming.. but hey - could really pay off with a free solution.

@dbeato said in Printer Leasing/Maintenance - Installing Software on the Network for Monitoring Print Devices:

It is common, however just make sure when they configure only the Static IP of the printers to be picking them up. Also make sure the SNMP community is not public (also none of your devices should have that).

I should ask them about this. I am guessing that all the printers are going to have to be networked now.

Yes, otherwise it will not work.

@syko24 said in Is SMB 1.0 more vulnerable at the client level or server level:

On Windows 10 you can enable SMB1.0 Server or Client. Does enabling just the client side make the Windows 10 system vulnerable? What I am trying to figure out is if I have a special machine running XP and need to pull data from a share on it, can I enable SMB 1.0 client on a Windows 10 machine, connect a crossover cable and have the 10 machine pull data from the XP share safely? The 10 machine would then move the copied data onto the primary server running Windows Server 2016.

If this is a horrible idea are there any suggestions to make this a secure setup other than replacing the XP machine.

Thanks

Both. We've seen Emotet gobble up an entire network where nothing has been done to patch for EternalBlue which is the exploit in SMBv1.

We remove it _everywhere we manage a network on all endpoints. Period. Full Stop.

@scottalanmiller said in Does 64 bit or 32 bit really matter?:

Presumably the OS is 64 bit so shouldnt matter.

OK. Linux servers to start. The 32 bit app requires some 32 bit library stuff that I cannot find for Debian 9/10 so I was thinking I could install on a 32bit and go from there.

Do you need to be on Debian? Linux 32bit is a dead animal pretty much across the board. I'm assuming that this is dead software without support? What's the plan in the future as these libraries get more and more rare?

It actually isn't dead. I'm not sure why they haven't made the switch the 64 bit. They just updated the software back in June.

No, it's dead. "Updates" are easily manipulated. Trust me, there's no plausible way that it relies on 32bit libraries and isn't actually dead. There are very, very standard tricks to make software look maintained after it has died for expressly this purpose.

In this example you wouldn't have to write an interface, but that's part of the power of Go. Interfaces are defined implicitly.
