This whole TLS clown fiesta was brought to my attention by one of our ISPs that is hosting one of our websites. I just ran the SSLLabs test against the domain that they host for us and the results came back showing that TLS 1.0 and 1.1 are not supported and it had fewer warnings. This is a great info. We are now working on disabling those cypher suites. I call this whole thing a win. 🙂
Installing maybe... But it's need to run the software
I saw that all the time with crappy proprietary video surveillance software. You had to have admin rights to run it. Ridiculous!
Is there any surveillance software that isn't crappy? Ever one of them I have seen is just junk.
As far as this thread, I'm in the same boat... Software written back in the early 90's that is STILL the leading software in the veterinary industry requires local admin to run it.
Usually this is just a matter of needing admin access to a few folders and files. Not the entire system.
IT for giving the user local admin,
the local user for allowing a remote person to create a local account
the local user for not checking the password requirements for that account
the remote support for using a shit password
the remote support for allowing use to have access to RDP (assuming it wasn't needed)
Thanks for the tip. I'm a WinDirStat junkie but I'll give this a spin. Although I would really miss just being able to type <Win+R> iexplore ninite.com/windirstat and 20 seconds later having it installed and ready to go 😉
@dbeato Lot's of good stuff here. I've been in a bit of a transition (had to make some changes so that I actually had money to pay the bills) so that slowed how quickly I was pumping out fixes but I think we're getting to a point where I'm almost back on track. I'll be looking into all these hopefully later today.
I definitely understand that! Just getting it out there what I found out.
Currently using ZenDesk (over 1 year already) to support my customers (a bunch of different companies). Pretty simple and convenient interface and nice mobile app (i am using the one for android).
Takes me around 50$/per IT guy/per month (4 engineers in total). Alerting, SLAs and most bells and whistles one might need - pretty happy so far.
Would need some more information on requirements, but Wave and Xero are rational places to take a peek. For example, what industry, any confidentiality requirements, SAAS vs on-premise opinion, do they need inventory module, payroll, job costing, any current CRM integrations or a need for one.
I'm filling out a form for a government agency and it has the question below. Does this look like VLANS? I'm trying to figure out what they are looking for.
CONTROL#12 - BOUNDARY DEFENSE
Detect/prevent/correct the flow of information transferring networks of different trust levels with a focus on security-damaging data.
ou have something like Pi 3 and if so why ? and what OS on it ?
If you want to buy one which one interests you.
Thanks.
Raspberry Pi3 for thermostat and Arduino for door automation.
Why I am getting the vibe here that it is easier to code and automate with Arduino , is there an easy guide/wizard for it that does not involve alot of coding ?
Arduino is microprocessor coded with a specific dialect of c as most of micros todays. It is not able to run an os. Like any micro it accepts an entry point and starts looping the same code again and again until you pull the plug.
Raspberrypi is an arm architecture able to run an os. You can code it even in python or node.js
This project is coming along nicely. Not sure how far they are as I've never used them but Apache has been working on Open For Business for a long time.
I set up multiple archive policies and let the user do what they want, if they want. Nobody has reached the max capacity yet, and if they do, it only effects them.
We try to push for good user email organizational habits.
If they fail and it causes outlook issues, then we suggest they archive old stuff.
