“That's why PoS attacks are so viable right now, because from an attacker's point of view, [these avenues] are nearly as attractive as PCs,” Budd said.

And PoS manufacturers and programmers are total idiots most of the time and make the worst possible stuff you can imagine with literally no security at all in most cases, and in even more cases has to run as full administrator and every other terrible mistake you can imagine.

Eagerly awaiting GNU/Hurd to release!

That requires actual work, instead it's much easier for Stallman to just take credit for Linux GNU/Linux. I mean it's been 30 years and he's made no progress, and plus he lives in the 1970s anyway when it comes to his views of computers, and his followers tend to be overidealistic weirdos who do things like harass people who don't release all their source code, and make excuses for his general insanity, taking advantage of others, taking credit for others' work, and just being generally disgusting and unpleasant.

It's way easier to just do talks about why you should work for free, but not him.

It really does work most of the time. It's difficult to make a plug and play, one size fits all product for business computing. Every environment is unique, and every admin has their own methodology to configuring their architecture (often, that is driven by general cluelessness and/or ignorance). I think that, given the diversity of what you have to be able to adapt to, the roughly 95% success rate that I have seen with incremental forever is pretty decent. The thing that makes it somewhat aggravating is that it is a proprietary mechanism that is held rather tightly. Even inside of Unitrends, there doesn't seem to be a lot of general knowledge floating around about how to fix it when it doesn't work. The algorithms that control it are basically "unknown". It's a magical thing, powered by pixie dust, and you don't mess with it; it just kinda does its thing. If you have a Unitrends support contract, and it's giving you trouble, they can help diagnose it and get it fixed. For the rest of us...

Only complaint would be that for a backup system, 95% success rate is way, way too low for it to be a recommendation. It should be a "this is really fragile but if you want to give it a shot and monitor it closely, here it is" kind of thing at that point. It's a neat idea but if it doesn't match the reliability of traditional setups, I'd think recommendations should fall to the reliable. No aspect of IT has a stronger leaning towards consistent, conservative and reliable as backups.

Your new site is better than the old one, that old layout looked just like your suit, but I always assumed that wasn't an accident. It did make me think of "Count Dracula's nephew fixes computers" though.

That was not intentional. And yes, I prefer the white too.

Using anything but UTF-8 is a crime!

True, and even old WP installs used it without the actually making sure the DB was configured that way. So odd.

That kind of ineptitude seems par for the course for WordPress. UTF-8 issues can't be blamed just on them though, consider the absolutely bizarre issue of utf8 vs utf8mb4 for MySQL, why the hell wasn't it implemented completely the first time?

Interesting enough,.. I'm still running into the issue of OWA showing new email. Last time I check email, the OWA icon showed 12 but I opened it up, and had only three emails and none of them were new.

I only have two minor complaints about it so far.

Setup only works in IE. ActiveDirectory sync for users & SSO doesn't work on a domain controller without a GUI (core install) the sync tool will install. But you have to run a wizard from IE to complete it. It can't be completed from the tool. I guess I'll but it on my fileserver since I need to convert it to GUI anyway.

Right on - but from what I understand, and from what I have downloaded, this is a linux machine, and it ties into the Windows Server, somehow... not sure, still studying..

The easiest way to do it would be to mount the windows share on the ownCloud box and make that the repository.

Having not tried to integratge AD let alone pass permissions, I have no idea how well this would work.

Pertino does now have the iOS app and would simply pass AD auth.

The Pertino Android app was broken with ICS or KitKat (I forget which). I have not tested if they fixed it yet with the new 420 release. The other problem with Android is apparently some changes in what 3rd party apps are allowed to write to. As long as you are pulling it down live you would be fine, but there seemed to be new security issues with writing to SD.

you don't know what problems are already resolved and you might miss new problems

Yes i agree with that.

If you are using multiple SSIDs from the same APs and using vlans they need to be tagged in those ports. Depending on the ap it may not have a managment VLAN setting so you either need to make it untagged on your staff network or mamagment vlan depending on how your network is setup.

@tonyshowoff I know, but it still should be removed.

Well, I'd agree it certainly is less ugly, especially the ones that are ridiculously long

Hey, someone downvoted me again but didn't defend their criticism, brave indeed.

Our adult entertainment division is legally based out of the Netherlands and we still charge USD for everything, because even so most of our customers are from the US or are familiar with the currency.

Often with those choices you get PostgreSQL too, which would be my preference nine times out of ten.

You can go straight to hell. That's right, an old rivalry that I can no longer justify.
