Webmin 0 day exploit:
https://pentest.com.tr/exploits/DEFCON-Webmin-1920-Unauthenticated-Remote-Command-Execution.htmlGood example of how even a good product can have risks. WebMin being an unnecessary extra layer that Linux doesn't need creates just overhead and exposure that can be avoided simply by keeping the system lean.
- Buy server.
- Don't install ANYTHING.
- Keep powered off.
- Zero overhead, zero exposure, lean system.

Would you say the same thing if cockpit was exploited too?

For sure, extra layer that isn't really required. Cockpit has some advantages, but a GUI is a GUI.

Just saw this headline.... "RAID 5 ON 3 md1200s with 36 8tb drives". I'm not going to read that thread, but boy can I just imagine the setting him up for disaster advice that people are going to give because they think that it is funny to trick people into losing data.

Coffee time.

Well that should give you a few hours to catch up on some other things then!

Got a call from one of the other tier-3 techs. A client had a RAID battery go bad and take the controller with it. Happy times are sure to ensue. They were only told the server needs replaced at least once a year for the past 3 years that we have documented.

Starting to organize a bookshelf in my office to hold my D&D books and accessories.
I found this in a box labeled D&D. I should have the entire series in one box or another....
-
Poorly packed box of graphic novels. Umm, I think I need to purge.
-
Back to work after a whole week out, feels good.
-
More user migrations using rsync, some of these users have a ton of files and way less intrusive to copy the bulk of their files using ssh and rsync.

watching my co worker try to figure out how to configure a D-Link AP for our HR POS (IPAD based POS system) . It's quite Comical to be honest.

Everything about that statement is comical, from the D-Link AP to the HR PoS and the iPad. . .

i thought the fact we were using D-Link AP was hilarious .
HR PoS (Heartland Restaurant PoS) is something our sales man / president decided we're going to start doing .
and it's ran on an IPad through a "portal"
I dont know much about it because my new boss wants me to focus on Aloha (server/windows10 ) support. -
I get the benefit/value of having an all in one internet enabled PoS system, food trucks, carts etc all make perfect sense to need this. But why does it need an AP?
iPads come with the option of Cellular data, why complicate it further by needing separate internet provided over dedicated WiFi?
