Is it possible for someone to recover data after a combination of full disk encryption (long random password that you don't keep) and quick format multiple times?

I didn't even knew that he died.

Few weeks ago, I was in Houston for Halloween when I found out.

I also noticed that we can watch 007 movies for free on YouTube.

Finished setting up my home office with new equipment.

@Fredtx said in What is the best way to prepare for a technical phone interview?:

How much depth do you cover on each technical answer you give?

Unless they asked for an in depth answer, I give them a brief summary.

@Fredtx said in What is the best way to prepare for a technical phone interview?:

What do you do or say if you're asked a question you are not very familiar with?

I have no problem telling them that I’m not familiar with...

@Fredtx said in What is the best way to prepare for a technical phone interview?:

Do you keep a cheat sheet (sounds bad) by your side, such as tcp/udp port numbers for known protocols, domain fsmo roles and their function, terminology definitions, etc?

I had a recruiter provided me some questions to prepare in case I get asked questions outside of what I already know.

@Fredtx said in What is the best way to prepare for a technical phone interview?:

Do you review material you are already familiar with? Or not familiar with?

I usually review material what was provided by the recruiter.

@gjacobse I've had no issues with my setup so far.

My only issues are my own .

Thank you to @scottalanmiller to making me see some obvious issues. ( like duh- open port 53)

I’m curious what you did, while the adguard is running and working- I want to close the VPS as much as possible... only one place that needs to be pulling dns from it,.. more when and IF I decide to add them.

You can configure access rules for Adguard Home.

Going over the new managing containers objectives from RHCSA.

Podman?

Yeah. That's one of the tools mentioned. I'm also new to containers in general.

We use LXC/LXD all of the time and love it.

I'm big fan of LXC/LXD and also Podman too.

left a word out.

would free/truenas run AS a vm in hyper-v?

trying to keep myself busy, it's quieter than a cemetery at midnight atm

The general consensus that I've seen here is

• a NAS OS is redundant and hampers efforts to repair things.
• You're better off using something like Fedora, CentOS, Ubuntu Server, or your favourite flavour

so do you mean, just build up another server consisting of an OS that support staff are familiar with, fill it with disk and use that?

Yep, that's been the consensus around here. No real value add in having an appliance manage SAMBA and/or NFS for you. If you really really want a GUI interface, use a RedHat distribution for cockpit.

I haven't tried Cockpit in a while, but I don't believe you could manage shares there last I tried. Do you know if that's changed?

You can manage storage but not shares.

Wyze releases a $20 Smart Watch

Saw that, pretty interesting.

I'm curious if Wyze is prepping themselves to be purchased by someone.

I've tried FreeNAS in Hyper-V, Vanilla KVM and Proxmox. But I mainly did because I was curious about it.

The latest MeshCentral update has a new login screen.

For RHEL, CentOS, and Fedora that have Wayland enabled and is set to Wayland session by default when logging in. You would have to log out and then select GNOME on Xorg before you log in so you can remote desktop into them using remote tools like MeshCentral or TeamViewer.

Lately I've been disabling Wayland and selecting Xorg as the default GNOME session for that reason.

@brandon220 said in Windows and NFS:

@black3dynamite I know it can be done... I have read conflicting documents and articles where it goes both ways. Some say there is a risk of both systems accessing the same file via different protocols and causing corruption. I will most likely try it.

Yeah, I’m not sure about the corruption part. Maybe it’s something do with a specific samba and nfs version, filesystem that was in use, and SELinux.

@brandon220 take a look at this blog site about sharing the same data from Samba and NFS.
