I'll take it

Yes, I have. It was talked about on Security Now a few years ago.

It allows TNO (Trust No One) on cloud storage . You control the keys for encryption. of course, if you don't have the keys, the data is useless.

The Register uses the term "enterprise Linux" to qualify the RHEL/Suse/Ubuntu group.

Maybe calling them USR would work better.

Assigned? Do you mean, spring break kind of things?

Her college is quarter based. There are three quarters during the 'normal' school year, and a fourth in the summer. There is a 5-10 day break between each quarter, plus winter break (xmas/new years).

@jrc said in Virtualizing Smoothwall (edge firewall and content filtering):

Yeah, this will be a dedicated piece of hardware with the hypervisor on it and just a single VM, the Smoothwall install. Nothing else, and it will not be tied into my existing pool, it will be, for the most part stand alone.

As to the point of no access if things go down, I don't see that as a major issue, because if things go down like that, then I will need to be on site, in which case I would have physical access to the server and will then be able to fix it from there if needed.

This device is how my network is connected to the internet, so if it goes down I have zero remote access, with or without it being virtualized.

If you have an iLo or like option on the server, you could make that available either directly to the internet, or through an ER-X that you VPN into. This would require it's own IP just for that.

That would be good on a case by case basis, but I assume he wants this for all services. If he had like fifty pay walled sites that he never wanted coming up in searches, it would be cumbersome to have to add that in for any given search. You could store that on a notepad somewhere to copypasta but would still be a big pain.

@Dashrender said in Building new Wordpress on CentOS 7:

@JaredBusch I don't see any point in securing the server not be part of the entire process. As I continue on this thread, I will be including it. Of course these things will only apply to this specific situation, but it will be an end to end of my journey.

Because they are rather different things.

How do you install Apache? - "yum -y install httpd"

How do you secure Apache? - Well, define your needs and let's talk about the degree to which you feel it needs to be locked down, what threats are pointed at you, what the value of the data is, etc.

One is concrete, one is not at all. They don't go together as a single thing.

@Danp Yep, it's a pretty basic, but really useful tool.

Good additional resource, although his guidance on disk size for RAIDZ is bad because it is array size, not disk size, that matters and no modern disk or array is realistically small enough to ever consider RAIDZ. So RAIDZ (because it is just RAID 5, nothing more) has been dead with at least 2009.

@Alket_tux said in Windows Server Memory:

i think i got the solution, it is the volume of the processes that certain user was doing 😉

That would do it 🙂

@Dashrender already done several times, no progress

@jt1001001 said in Data centers and retrofitting:

We have an old hospital that they converted the ER and emergency operating rooms into a data center. Redundant power feeds and generator were already on site so all they did was upgrade to latest code and add UPS system. The old ER ambulance entrance is now the shipping/staging area.

My company is colocating some of our equipment in here come next month.

We looked at Victory didn't go for it but it was a really cool datacenter.

@bhautik.shah said in IBM Server X3650 (Type7979I2S) Raid Problem? Server RAID Card 8K-L:

Now i have to decide add on raid controller on to this server.

A quality RAID controller is not cheap. Even the most entry level one will be worth more than a ten year old server. I would replace the server with one that comes with a RAID controller already.

If you are in the US, xByte makes this super affordable for Dell and now HPE servers. Outside of the US, I normally advice SuperMicro.

Allright I got the machine live! 
So what I did was really plain and simple...

Create a backup and recovery media with Veeam endpoint backup.
Restore the backup onto my xen server (with driver injection). 
Boot the machine in safe mode.
Disable hyper-v services (even though they are disabled in hyper-v...)
Reboot
Done

I still can't believe it took me so long to figure this one out. I was deleting/editing registry entries related to drivers that I didn't need etc...

@DustinB3403 said in FreeNAS Domain Failure on AD:

@scottalanmiller any news yet?

Nope

I also recommend developing the site on pantheon and then moving it to your server. It's much easier to develop there.

Fixed

@DustinB3403 said in Thinstation by Donald A Cupp Jr:

Exactly, thin client you'd pxeboot into your environment and go from there. You don't even need a hard drive.

That's diskless booting. A different topic. A pxebooted machine is very often still a fat client.

@Tim_G

/log=C:\CallRecordingsTest\Winscp.log /script=C:\CallRecordingsTest\CallRecordings.txt

OR,

If I just have this: /log=C:\CallRecordingsTest\Winscp.log

It will start WinSCP in the background (no GUI, I just know it's running via task manager) but will not put anything in the log file.

@scottalanmiller

Actually there's no problem in upgrading my OS, the only problem is that I might need to create first a vm for my other apps to work. After this, I might proceed with the upgrade. Actually the purpose of setting up this Hyper V server is for my colleagues to practice on Windows Server VM's. But thanks for the inputs, another day and another learned input from tech gurus like you guys.

Thanks
