    @XeL it's been a while. How did your process go of getting into mobile app development?

    Looks like the made 2 accounts here, posted a video and link to gather some precious clicks, and then disappeared. Spamtastic.

    Might look that way at first glance, but XeL is, I'm pretty sure, someone that some people like @Pol and @Joy know personally.

    Yeah, @XeL is one of my devs around 2014. I think his good now, he's been a good iOS dev.

    And by the way, can somebody delete my other acocunt? I dont use @Pol anymore. I can't access my credentials when I tried using that account.

    No, we can't delete because that would cause all your posts to be disassociated.

    You chose not to delete because posts become disassociated.

    You easily could.

    @Duffney
    It takes the vlan database of the server switch with the highest revision and sends it to every other switch in the VTP domain.

    Be careful though, VTP is a double edge sword.

    As are VLANs themselves! 🙂

    @Dashrender @Jimmy9008 My largest client to use this for their Office 365 backup has 42 mailboxes and it works very well for them. I can't confirm with anything larger than that though.

    In theory then it should work well for me. Will test and see. Thanks

    From what I can tell the program we are using has a built in integration for Excel but you have to have Excel and not something like Libre Office.

    Likely using the Excel automation API that is unique.

    I spaced this one.

    I was thinking the application could be lame and trying to call the excel.exe executable directly. That could be solved with a link to LibreOffice executable - assuming the LibreOffice executable accepts the same arguments.

    In theory, yes. But I think it is using an API to make it output to CSV. Otherwise, we'd just expect it to open the file and sit there.

    I assume then that using the API is easier than the application simply outputing to CSV on it's own?

    I doubt it.

    sooooo... they did it why? bad programmers?

    Always, or they just hate the users. But the latter would be crazy.

    @Pete-S said in Pros and cons running local repository (for packages like deb, rpm etc)?:

    Cons would be storage space - amd64 repository for debian stable is around 60 GB.

    According to the information in this link, which is updated daily, amd64 is 330 GB.
    https://www.debian.org/mirror/size

    It's because that includes everything like testing, unstable, experimental and what not. Also source code. So it's a couple of different versions of the OS.

    The amd64 stable main contrib non-free are 60.1 GB today - as of right now...

    This is a good reason to have more than one credit card from more than one bank.

    This isn't just a credit issue though. It's people literally unable to access their own money, not money on credit. More so if people have the money in their checking/savings account to pay their bills why should they have to pay their bills on credit?!

    The bank had better pay off any interest if their customers had to use a credit card to pay for anything during this time to get things back to Zero.

  • MSPs the New Hacker Target?

    MSP Maturity Model. Strictly speaking, the MSPMM does not tell MSPs to make all of their customers identical. But in practice, it encourages it and many MSPs talk about the MSPMM in these terms - finding ways to make customers all run the same tools, software, practices, network design, etc. This makes management so much easier for the MSP, but has two major problems.

    First, it forces the customer to conform to the vendor, which makes very little sense. IT needs to adapt to the business, not the business to IT. But that's another topic.

    Secondary, it means that an attack vector that works on the MSP will likely work on every single one of their customers making the prospect of breaching the MSP that much better. Sure, if a targeted attack by experienced state-sponsored hackers goes after an MSP, the MSP has little chance of winning that battle. But that isn't the real risk. In the real world, the risk is automated attacks looking for common vulnerabilities and spreading organically through shared tooling - things that are only possible or reasonably likely when the environments are homogeneous: both amongst the MSP clients, and between clients and the MSP themselves.

    The traditional approach of MSPs, especially VAR - MSP combo companies, is to have not only the same tools and software, but even the same hardware and products so that any hole anywhere because a hole everywhere and breaching any one piece of the infrastructure means you are likely to breach it all.

    What's seems odd to me (even though it probably isn't) is that there are no major players also working on this in tandem. If this is supposed to be the next iteration of anonymous login there are a ton of security adjacent vendors that would love this.

    No, they wouldn't because they can't make money off of it.

    Actually they could, if it had any value. They could make a lot off of it. It's because it doesn't do anything useful that it has no value. OAuth already does all the good parts of SQRL and fixes the "not easy" problems.

    No it doesn’t because oauth gives the control to that third party, it’s not trust no one.

    SQRL does that too.

    What no it doesn’t. You are the only one with your private key and everything is done on the fly based on that. No third party is ever involved.

    That's the impression that they like to give, but it doesn't work that way. To share identities or have any "easy" between sites, it is still sharing just like OAuth (Actually, they state that they are just extending OAuth.)

    So with SQRL you always have to trust at least one source, and if you want the features that most people want, then you have to trust a third party as well. The SQRL key carries no info, so is nothing more than a cookie, so requires the same third party sharing that we have now,. It's just a cookie that doesn't automatically get conveyed between unrelated sites.
