When I worked in Connecticut, employees at GE headquarters had their cell phones all hijacked by another company sharing their building and all of their texts (ALL of them) were captured and stored by another company (with conflicts of interest as well.) Any text sent to someone there was guaranteed to be not just intercepted, but stored. And they had no way to know because of the complete lack of security in texting.

nmap is so much lighter and faster than other tools, too.

It is.

Getting ready to throw Mint Cinnamon onto a laptop although Pop OS seems to be the new belle of the ball nowadays.

Pop_OS doesn't make their own desktop like Mint does. Mint's focus is making an alternative desktop environment and Mint is just the showcase OS for it. Pop_OS! is a tweaking to Ubuntu used as the default on custom hardware.

Cinnamon is far and away my preferred DE. I just wish that other distro's / spins would integrate it as tightly with the underlying OS as Mint does. The add/remove (install/uninstall) integration right into the main menu is convenient. I just have an extreme dislike for their policy of staying on LTS / Stable packages and package base.

Fedora's Cinnamon spin is pretty much as integrated as Mint.

They are pretty much all integrated once installed. Many DEs have a software manager / software center gui now that is shortcutted.

Yeah, pretty much all DE have that now.

Thanks. This was it. But suddenly, it's not enough of a frustration to go without audio! Go figure.

Also does your use have an NVidia Video card? If so, they can get this.

Here's another test. It shows that IPsec is more than 50% faster than WireGuard.

Thing is that WireGuard uses the ChaCha20 cipher which is very efficient and fast on non-dedicated hardware. IPsec, and sometimes also OpenVPN, can however often use hardware acceleration on AES and is then faster.

It's the devices in each end and their architecture (ARM, x86 etc) and any hardware offloading that will determine what to pick for maximum performance on a VPN. And often it just doesn't matter - for instance when the hardware can handle encryption at WAN speed.

Nice thing about WireGuard is that it has just been included in the 5.6 kernel so soon enough it will be available by default on every linux system.

@EddieJennings said in MacVTap Modes:

One option I didn't see in the redhat doc was openvswitch. Don't they support it?

The link I posted was for RHEL 6. I just now saw that RHEL 8's documentation is online. I glanced through it and didn't see that mentioned. I'll read it more closely tomorrow.

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/configuring_and_managing_virtualization/configuring-virtual-machine-network-connections_configuring-and-managing-virtualization

There's no mention of openvswitch anywhere in that document. I am aware of XenServer and XCP-ng uses it by default. So its possible RHEL just prefers using macvlan/macvtap instead of openvswitch.

Wow ... it's been a month since I asked this!

From the responses, I guess there is a third little piece of this, in RMM and also how much I want control over my user machines.

In many ways, I was almost considering them all just having fresh installs, like they went out and bought a new laptop from Best Buy, and now want to attach to Office365.

The files will be there, they can collaborate. Do I really need to provide anything else?

We are currently using an RMM solution still so I can run scripts and assist remotely if needed.

Correction meant to say EXT3

@Obsolesce said in Power shell syntax: Get- Map drives:

Why not do it via Group Policy or other similar means?

It's the state - I don't have access to GP... or much really - and the few scripts I have made, I pulled out since they 'refuse' to use anything with logic...

Then why bother with it?

@WrCombs said in Unifi AP on unrouted Network - Issues:

How do you Export/Import Sites into new controllers ?

Never mind I figured it out.

I went into "site" settings , In the bottom left corner there was "export site" option.
Click on that, download the backup file,
create network on other Controller, then import site.
You can then (if you have a domain set up) migrate the AP to that Controller.

I didn't have this issue; I installed and it's working properly, can view, and edit the AP .

@JaredBusch said in UNMS Cloud:

Nothing is free, so I am curious, and have not been able to find, what they get out of this.

Loss leader. Netgear already does this, so lacking it meant being behind their competition.

I know you love Netgear, but they are not competition to me. I never consider them.

Craziest thing...that program called CONFIG TOOL just decided to discover everything...was able to find cameras, give them a proper IP, used the IP of the network card on the Milestone system as GATEWAY address and I am halfway through this converstion now... 🙂

Well - it looks like we have to issue an update about this.

Unfortunately, 4.skyetel.com clashes with some systems that do not support numerical values in DNS entries (yes, thats a real thing) and so please use na.skyetel.com instead. We will be sending out an email tomorrow asking everyone to please use na.skyetel.com instead of 4.skyetel.com. Sorry for the headache guys.
