I use a NAS and have been for a few years. No issues at all.

I'll probably be porting numbers over starting next week. I haven't used either service.

I have some numbers that need to be migrated to SIP. The client had a salesperson leaning them towards SipStation from Sangoma but I'm leaning more towards Voip.ms

Plex VM (Ubuntu Server) and media on a ReadyNAS. Thought about trying Emby but haven't yet.

I have 1Password on my phone and it gets used the most. Of course it is easier to type notes and documentation on a laptop....

Dokuwiki or Mediawiki? I suppose this would be good on a VPS too.

I thought about a wiki but that is one I have yet to try.

Those of you that consult or have to keep track of info for customers such as logins, IP info, etc... I have tried many different things (spreadsheets, password managers, hand written notes) but none seem to cover all bases except general notes. Trying to get more organized. I don't need a full CRM. What tool have you found useful?

Telcos normally install a 24 strand fiber to a building. It normally gets spliced into a larger cable. They usually will "activate" 2 fibers. Very common to see it done this way.

Running the Ubiquiti cameras at a few locations. Some on their NVR and some on a Dell server with the Unifi Video software. No issues and very good video quality. Cameras are the G3 - both dome and bullet. Can't beat the price.

@scottalanmiller I am not connecting to the server. I just set it up and have no trouble connecting to it and moving files around for testing purposes. One of our vendors will connect to it and upload files. We will then go retrieve them. THEIR client software is not playing nice with the ciphers that are the default in Fedora. They as a company are always behind the curve on being up-to-date. They just need it to work. I've been reading for hours on end to make it compatible for them with no luck.

When I go to the MAN page (man sshd_config) it shows that:

The supported ciphers are:

               3des-cbc
               aes128-cbc
               aes192-cbc
               aes256-cbc
               aes128-ctr
               aes192-ctr
               aes256-ctr
               [email protected]
               [email protected]
               arcfour
               arcfour128
               arcfour256
               blowfish-cbc
               cast128-cbc
               [email protected]

I tried adding AES128,AES192,AES256 and nothing changes. I did stop and restart the service. Seeing that the ones I need are not listed as supported, I am not sure if they will work.

I see the ciphers listed on the ssh_config file which is supposed to be the client side. In the sshd_config there are no ciphers listed. If I run the command:
sudo sshd -T | grep ciphers
it returns:
ciphers [email protected],aes128-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-ctr,[email protected],[email protected]

I still cannot find where it is getting these from to be able to edit them.

@jaredbusch I can see in the ssh_config and sshd_config files where the ciphers are listed but they are commented out. In fact, most of the lines in the files are commented out. I am struggling to find where it is actually getting its config from. I'll keep poking at it.

I set up a SFTP server on Vultr a few months ago. No issues with it and everything is fine. The vendor that is going to be connecting to it to send us files sent an email stating they don't support the ciphers that it is using until end of 3rd quarter in 2018.

From them: Our client supports AES128, AES192, and AES256 but does not work with the “-CTR” ciphers. The new version of our client “should” work with the “-CTR” ciphers, but will not be available until about 3rd quarter in 2018. So, unless the customer can enable standard AES ciphers, you’ll have to try FTPS or some other available method. Can you enable the standard AES ciphers on your sftp server? Please advise. Thanks!

I am guessing they are running outdated client software. I can connect just fine with WinSCP and other clients. Is there a way to add the older ciphers to Fedora? This company is always behind on everything. They never told me they needed anything other than an SFTP server. Very frustrating.

@momurda Yes, I forgot about FreeNAS. I see that a lot too. Especially in /r/homelab.

@travisdh1 Ooooh. Why such a tough question on a Monday???

@travisdh1 I go there often to read the "advice" they give. It makes for a good laugh and is an excellent way to piss off time. Don't forget Proxmox. They push it like crazy too.

@scottalanmiller People push unRaid on Reddit like mad. It is comical the advice these folks give.

I've spoiled myself with 16G of RAM and SSDs. I could never go back either.
