    You should point out that XenServer is almost exclusively for quite small companies, not large ones. XenServer goes after the SMB market primarily. It is Xen without XenServer that tends to go after the big enterprise customers. Both play in both markets, but XS really is focused on SMB and Xen sans XS on the enormous cloud market.

    But as such, those big clouds are used by nearly every up to date SMB. So almost everyone is running something on Xen even if they do not realize it. Xen is just about everywhere.

    Do you think this will lead to an even higher infection rate than before?

    Yes, because it now does not even take any coding knowledge. The crypto is created for you. All the person now has to do is find a delivery mechanism.

    If you are trying to provide coverage for the customers, and only have one device - you risk 'losing' those customers since one carrier gets preferential treatment.

    @Mike-Davis Your confusing two different services both offered by Backblaze.

    Backblaze Business is a backup service like CrashPlan Business. $50 year for unlimited data, but it's designed for workstations not servers. This service is NOT in beta.

    The service I was discussing was their B2 Cloud Storage service which is like Amazon S3. It just raw storage, you need something like the Cloudberry software to do the backup, and B2 would storage the data.

    Does this make since?

    P.S. I didn't realize B2 Cloud Storage was still in beta, would be better to hold off using it in production for now.

    I thought in the other thread they had said it was out of Beta now.

    They did provide specifics. They said open UDP 1024 - 65535 for RTP traffic specifically but UDP 5060 for SIP.

    No, stating 1024-65535 is NOT specifics. It is a cop out.

    At that point, why not just completely make it unsecured and put in an any/any rule.

    I would silo that shit pronto, so when the inevitable pwnage happens it doesn't infect the rest of the network.

    If it's limited only to the IP of the SIP provider, what are you worried about? Don't get me wrong, we should of course limit the ports when possible, but really 1 port versus 64K ports - does it make you more vulnerable when you've locked the ports to a single incoming IP?

    My response to that is how can I trust them to keep their stuff secure when they cannot even configure a proper set of ports for RTP?

    You have a completely valid point.

    Setting that aside - does the rest of my point remain valid?

    Yes, as long as you have properly restricted it to the provider, you have less to worry about.

    I've restricted SIP and RTP traffic to the Intelepeer ips as @Dashrender mentions.

    This is the important bit

    function getSiteStatus (url) { var siteStatus = -1; try { var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, { muteHttpExceptions: true, validateHttpsCertificates: false, followRedirects: true }); siteStatus = response.getResponseCode() === 200 ? 200 : -1; } catch(e) {} return siteStatus; }

    So upon further investigation I've realized I'm a complete moron. So I created the local storage through the web interface. I thought that meant it was local to XenServer, but it was local to XO. So the backups are being saved to the container and not on XenServer. Disregard everything above, I'm just stupid.

    I don't know about sending a window to another screen, but the 1/2 was definitely in Windows 7. That quadrant thing does sound usable, assuming your on a larger 4K type display.

    That guy sounds like he hates productivity. I can't imagine what that would be like. Cringing as I write this.

    He has changed his GoToMyPC settings to never disconnect and the session is up for days at a time.

    Social Media is king these days. I only spent about $50 in advertising for this traffic. Using Facebook Groups to promote our site has been highly effective. I have also gained more blog authors due to the amount of exposure.

  • Go-to questions to ask when interviewing a potential candidate

    We don't do tech screenings with questions like this. We interview using conversations. I find the entire idea of having a list of technical question or non-technical weird questions (what kind of bird would you be) to be a waste of time and actively counter-productive. They tell you effectively nothing about the abilities of a useful candidate. Discussions are much more telling and much harder to fake or prepare for while not weeding people out at random based on testing .0001% of their potential knowledge without knowing if it is something that they should know about. Also far less likely that the interviewer is the one that is wrong - which I've seen be the case as often as not sitting on both sides of the table. Interviewers rarely research their questions and this makes it that much worse that you might weed out people based on knowing too much!

    Related to the actual cause of the problem, I apparently was testing some SMTP stuff a while back and disabled my rule to block all SMTP outbound on my network, then forgot to turn it back on. That rule is enabled again, so now waiting to see when it gets hit to find out what the hell on my system is sending spam.

    But, this still does not resolve the MS problem with the white listing until the CBL drops off.
