Looks like it isn't just Sophos.

@scottalanmiller said in ISP Failover with Cisco ASA:

That's mostly true. But Cisco considers it real Cisco and it shows their view of themselves. And that, I always think, is important. Cisco doesn't seem themselves as an enterprise player. And I've been in sales meetings with Cisco and that definitely comes through when talking to them.

That's not what I got from my sales conversations with them. They were very explicit about real Cisco and the lesser sub-brands.

Having been at two huge banks that were burned by being willing to use UCS, Cisco and enterprise are two words I never put together. From networking to phones to servers, Cisco is consistently overpriced and underperforming.

I absolutely loved UCS, even wrote the original oVirt/RHV plugin for the VMFEX cards. They were ahead of their time with those boxes, but the cloud pretty much killed everything really cool and advanced about HW

Worth noting....

Clojure is a true LISP, implemented on JVM.
F# is not LISP, but OCaml variant, implemented on .NET.

LISP and OCaml are both fully functional languages, but also very different. But Clojure and F# are the two prominent functional languages today, with Clojure being way out in the lead.

Yes, I have one for you

I worked with them there through SHI.

@NetworkNerd said in Centralized Management for Pi-Hole - balena-pihole:

I was saying I had considered setting up a Pi-hole at each of our extended family's homes. Sorry if that was not clear earlier.

It was, but why? That's buying one piece of hardware per location, and managing one install per location. Why not just all share one?

Agreed- if you must- host it on vultr for this.. for less than a happy meal you can have one running for a month

@dyasny said in KVM/QEMU DNS:

libvirt has dnsmasq built in, to serve DHCP. It can also be configured to serve DNS to the libvirt NAT network, and the host.

This is an example of a working configuration: https://fabianlee.org/2018/10/22/kvm-using-dnsmasq-for-libvirt-dns-resolution/

Pretty cool. Thanks.

If I have my client call me on various phones I have with different carriers, I see everything you are supposed to see. I do not have an AT&T account so I have not been able to test it there yet.

@black3dynamite said in Cannot boot to LUKS encrypted drive on Ubuntu - freezes after unlocking drive:

@travisdh1 Is it possible that AppArmor installed by default on all ubuntu installation? Having AppArmor and SELinux both active can cause problems.

I'd love to hear a bit more about apparmor. I am not familiar with it at all. This should be a new thread.

@EddieJennings said in Windows Server 2019 Updates:

I'm create a template VM for Server 2019 (one with and one without the GUI). I'm curious to see if any of you have seen the following behaviors.

Non-GUI

Use sconfig to download and install updates. Choose All updates, download, and install. After notification the updates were installed (appears about 5 seconds after choosing to install), you're prompted to reboot. After reboot, check for updates again to find the same updates still listed, repeat from step 2 endlessly.

GUI
Updates stay forever at "pending dowload"

GUI and using sconfig
Same behavior as using sconfig in the non-GUI environment.

Nope, you got something weird going on.

@black3dynamite said in NGINX Reverse Proxy Help - Error code: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG:

In the server block, add ssl_protocols TLSv1.2; and reload nginx

no joy. Incognito mode did not work either.

This is what I think we would need, but I'm neither inclined to figure that out, nor do I want any additional equipment (VM or otherwise [MS recommends physical for this?!]) to do this. . .

I like this too, especially since I've had that graphic (the one they reference on their site) on the wall in our Lab for many years!

@JaredBusch said in Make Simple User Passwords:

@scottalanmiller said in Make Simple User Passwords:

Ever need to make passwords for users and, let's face it, in the real world a lot of customers demand some pretty silly simply passwords. Using password generators often results in passwords that customers will not (and maybe cannot) use. A ridiculous situation, obviously, but it is reality. Passwords are simply difficult to often pass on to someone.

When generating temporary passwords, having something super strong is rarely very important. But avoiding something too hard to be used is needed. But just making up something non-random or even non-unique is really bad.

What's a compromise?

Yup, here is reality. Sometimes children's tools just make more sense when, well, you can draw your own conclusions.

Adding swapping out RAM to the list. Haven't gotten any word back as to whether or not it has fixed it. Just found out that the user will be in China for a week and a half, so I won't really be able to try much.

That'll slow things down.

Swapping RAM or him being out of the country?

Being out of hte country.

OK lol. I thought that is what you meant.

Also... every reseller will tell you what he's telling you. This is a standard scam that makes a fortune.

No consultant will agree, when paid to advise, they essentially all will tell you that this stuff is pretty much a reseller scam.

Okay, we got it. Doing the switch, then the fwconsole update, then rebooting, and running through it all again... eventually it fixed itself.

Brocade Fiber Adapter for SAN devices on servers also have that issue in which we need to turn off and on the ports so it actually maps the LUNs, happens all the time. I have never liked that brand.

Sometimes you can find slowness and some other issues with WebDav in Windows. If the WebDav Server is in Linux like NextCLoud it works well.

There is a big difference in how the speed feels between Windows 7 and Windows 10. Windows 7 had some bugs that made it dog slow at times.

SharePoint

I think I found the issue 😜

Microsoft all around 🙂

My guess is that no, it could not work if the full drive is encrypted. Once you boot into Windows, the drive would be inaccessible as there would be no Linux to decrypt it.
