@JaredBusch Correct, I did not state that. However, my OP shows the version as 4.2. So, the issue is that I can't install the latest version available on Fedora. I will update the OP.

@Obsolesce said in Dar (Disk ARchive):

Looks pretty standard at a glance. How's it differ over other disk archiving backup tools?

I still prefer restic, but I could use this as an alternative to tar.

@pmoncho said in Get Windows Version from Command Line:

No doubt. Currently working on getting Server 2019 DC, DHCP, and RDS working in a lab. A few challenges so far. Was going to try using PS to do many tasks I normally do in GUI (force myself to learn as I go) but decided to put it on the back burner due to frustration. I will get there with PS but it has to wait.

Unfortunately, no matter how much we want to complain about PS and how Windows has no production-level roadmap at this point and is getting worse by the day, if you are going to run Windows today, PS is how it is done. Issues with PS have only one valid purpose to discuss - to use to explain to management why Windows shouldn't be getting deployed in production workloads, or why risks with it need to be accepted. It's like the licensing issues with Windows, these things all add up to cost and risk and risk is really just cost. It's part of the "decision numbers." Beyond that, it is what it is. If the business actually knows how costly it is and still chooses it, then PS is how you manage it.

If you deploy and start without using PS, it'll be that much harder to switch later. I know the learning curve is absurd and the whole thing is so much harder than it has any purpose being, but I would bite the bullet if at all possible and learn it now. It'll just be harder later.

@flaxking said in Comparing PowerShell to Linux User Manipulation:

It interesting to think about, one complaint about Linux is that it has fragmented off into tons of different distributions, however it's has managed to keep a lot of the tools standardized across them all.

That's very true. It's even moreso than that. Many of those tools remains standard across not just operations systems, but OS familys, too. AIX, Solaris, BSD, Linux... all those families tend to share a lot of tooling.

OSX even has kept mostly uniform with the command set from UNIX. It's surprisingly nice. I'm appreciating OSX more because things are easier to repeat over and over and to do things remotely.

Yeah, even with how rough many things are in OSX, their shell and command sets are definitely one place where even Apple is keeping ahead of MS.

@360col said in Office 365 Phone System Deployment:

MY experience so far. I have managed to get the phone (with S4B firmware) logged in using the web sign in with pin thing. But I had to log in to the handset via IP then initiate the whole process. Not very automated.

Yeah, once you have to do that, a username and password is almost everything that you need to set up SIP normally!

@Obsolesce said in What Happens When Microsoft Doesn't Issue Licenses:

@scottalanmiller said in What Happens When Microsoft Doesn't Issue Licenses:

So the reset and query tool that Microsoft provide do not work (they don't claim that they do in 2016, just that they thought that they would.) They report that all is well, and then RDS fails anyway. So there is both the licensing issue, and an issue with a lack of working tooling.

Next time do it properly?

And not use Microsoft? We did everything we were supposed to do, Microsoft messed it up. Short of not using anything that depends on Windows, what's the solution? Right now Insight and Microsoft are still going back and forth blaming each other.

Unfortunately, not using Windows isn't something we control. But without being able to control that, having a reliable product isn't always something IT determines.

@wirestyle22 said in Mitigating Nextcloud Two Factor Authentication Error:

I upgraded Nextcloud and for some reason two-factor authentication activated on my admin account. Since I couldn't access my admin account I needed to find a way via cli to disable two factor authentication, but because it wasn't configured there was no folder in /var/www/html/nextcloud/apps for me to rename, etc. Below is the command I found that worked for me.

sudo -u apache php occ config:system:set twofactor_enforced --value=false

Note: You have to run the command as apache, or if you're using Debian www-data.

You also need to be in the right folder

By default on Fedora

cd /var/www/html/nextcloud

Or

sudo -u apache php /var/www/html/nextcloud/occ config:system:set twofactor_enforced --value=false

@mary said in Intern Discussion episode 1:

@dbeato That's pretty cool to actually work with that technology. I'm kind of jealous!

I didn't like it though, nothing like breaking a cassette...

And they are so slow. You really don't know slow until you use an audio cassette for data storage. They actually recorded audio and played it back, and it is obviously linear. So image the worst, old floppy ever, now imagine that you couldn't use a table of contents but had to do everything at half speed, and sequentially! What might take three minutes with an old floppy could be 30 minutes with a cassette!

@flaxking said in Why mostly people hire Developers from India?:

Offshoring junior Devs that will end up always being junior Devs is a good way to make your senior developers have to work harder and give them incentive to find a new company.

LOL, and so true.

It depends if you are using an agent or just rsyslog. Rsyslog can do tls and compression but not sure if you can cache until the remote server is back up, you would have to be sending over tcp for it to be able to verify. It can do tcp but I don't know if it has built in mechanisms to cache until the remote returns. The best way to handle it with just rsyslog is to have multiple syslog servers (Graylog) to send to and then they store in their backend (Elasticsearch in the case of Graylog).

@JaredBusch said in Wazuh Agent Install - CentOS:

Why are you disabling agent updates?

Wazuh doesn't understand how to maintain their own repository, so when OSSIM updates their stuff, it breaks Wazuh. It's silly, easily fixable, and I don't have the time to maintain the thing myself.

A simple scheduled task to run a simple PoSh script would be easiest IMO.

@travisdh1 said in Deepin 15.9 Installation Screens:

Am I the only one that still missed text mode installers? Probably.

I do find it funny, that they all have gui installers when everything is cli, out of the box.

Deepin is a desktop only, never meant to be a server or command line, though.

It sucks that you cant create rules by group yet. The devs have submitted a feature request for it on my behalf so hopefully soon 🙂

@JaredBusch said in ScreenConnect agent on Fedora fails rpm install:

rpm -U ConnectWiseControl.ClientSetup.rpm

ConnectWise Control version 19.0.23234.7027 resolved the failure to update. but they neglected to remove the old screenconnect version as the new install is named connectwisecontrol

If the client isn't connecting at N or AC, you won't get higher speeds. If the client hardware is capable, you can try modifying the adapter properties and forcing the preferred band.

Just an FYI - Whenever I see weird issues with Wifi affecting a single client, I usually find that the client is a Windows device that has been using sleep mode. Sleep causes speed issues and other weird issues like connecting not being able to connect to a VPN but no issues connecting to the internet.
