@DustinB3403 said in Everyone is not a "Security Group":

My argument was in regards to the people I work around and their broken mindset of "everyone needs access" or "just add the everyone group".

My OP I thought was very clear in that I was ranting a bit. But ok...

Well, in those cases, who should be blocked from access, do you feel?

By default I would say "not everyone".

Allow even an existing security group. But the "everyone" security group is not providing any security.

Might as well allow anonymous access.

Everyone does mean anonymous. This might just be a language thing. Someone outside of IT should not be aware of the "everyone" group. If they are saying "everyone" they should not be meaning that group, they probably just mean "Domain Users."

Everyone does not include anonymous. It is just about everything up to that point including guest and service accounts: https://blog.varonis.com/the-difference-between-everyone-and-authenticated-users/.

Did you manage to get anywhere yet on this?

I finally got the support form to work on my PC at home, so he filled it out and sent it. Hopefully it is sorted now. I guess I have to help clean out his PC at some point.

LOL, sounds like he might be the source of many issues in the future.

I saw a couple of posts on their support forum referencing similar issues. Seems like it might be widespread.

Might be browser dependent or something like that.

He couldn't get it to work in chrome or FF, I was able to get it to open in FF correctly. I think it is something else on his computer.

My last restore will finish sometime tomorrow... it'll burn down soon or later, better make sure you can get back!

You should be ripping everything to a good format instead of mp3.... FLAC and AAC give similar file sizes and far better audio quality.

and far fewer things that can play them.

VLC has always been able to play both those formats. Not sure why people use other media players.

kinda hard to use VLC in my car, unless they have an Android version that supports FLAC? Honestly, no clue if they do, I've never looked - I rarely listen to music I primarily listen to podcasts.

VLC exists on android, so I'm sure that FLAC support is either built in or available to add on. Checking on my phone now...

"VLC for Android is a full audio player, with a complete database, an equalizer and filters, playing all weird audio formats."

Nice..

I have been hosting my own server for months and then I found something out really cool today. If you have CPanel access on your website you can install it one click on your web sever 🙂

I ended up using this guide:

If you're using Windows 10 on the end points, this article would be good for you.

@Dashrender said in 1 displayport 2 monitors:

Those other two look like Display Port, but that could be the angle, so I suppose they could be HDMI.

I agree - but they are display ports,.. the left side of the connecter / and bracket are cut at a 45deg,.. but the right side is not. But hey - don't listen to me,.. I was confused as to what the DVI port was.

That moment when you have spent 3 hours waiting (5 min here and there) and then realize you are in the WRONG DNS Management Page....

smh

Get the larger one. Think about wear leveling in hardware (which often does not work or simply does not exist except in high-end products) or in software using specialized filesystems like YAFFS and others.

Try to keep your partitions small if you plan to create images.

@JaredBusch Awesome, just found it.

Hey

Ya one of the largest points of re-doing everything is to get it to a point where we can schedule it (we currently run it 2 times a week and then enter some information)

So we are also trying to get all the cells that we would manually add information to populate.

There are alot of one off reports (using this report) that people want, for example we currently run it on Monday and Thursday, but people also want then different time frames etc so while scheduling it eliminates the time problem it only really half eliminates it.

I was actually able to make a few changes and got the report down to 27 minutes, so I'm back on track for optimizing the report!

Thanks

Sweet! What changes did you make?

Looking at this as a replacement.

@stacksofplates I don't think anything you wrote about KVM is true, and it never was true also. I don't think I'm biased towards KVM in any way, I use more vSphere and XS hosts than KVM ones as of today, but… KVM and the standard toolstack has everything. At least, anything apart from some very new and particular GPU or latency-related stuff that only ESXi and customized (AWS!) Xen have. But of course, the basic and advanced stuff are absolutely covered. Every single thing.

He's talking about Boxes, not KVM.

Oh, ok, now it makes sense! Never heard about Boxes… libvirt is really anything you need for KVM. Maybe virt-manager, if you are used to XenCenter-like administration…

Boxes is a VERY nascent KVM front end. I'm playing with it right now, it's neat that it uses KVM with local console redirect. But it needs some polishing, the interface is awkward and missing a lot of basic features.

Ya it's weird. Virt-Manager gives you 1000% more and you can get console output from virsh, so I never saw the draw to it.

They never mentioned the infection route, did they?

Thanks for sharing this, Scott. Threats are always evolving!

Yep, use a VM. 🙂

@Mike-Davis good thing they didn't go with anything before!
