Something is already bound to that port from the looks of it. Have you tried doing a netstat tulp to see what's listening?

@mary lost power. Oh the joys of living in NY.
I never lose power, so your experiences with losing power in NY have to be related to being in rural locations or lack of payment type issues.
When I was on NYSEG we lost power once in 3 years... now that I'm on a rural Coop we lose power at least once a month.
So a "I moved to a location that is more rural and now I'm dealing with rural issues". Makes complete sense to me.
I live in Brighton NY, and haven't lost power in a very long time, and the times that we "lose power" it's a power blip at most and things are back within seconds to minutes. Definitely not long a duration like @scottalanmiller has repeated as being the norm for NY.
I'm agreeing with you. NYSEG is actually a really good utility. I think it's the small Coops that dot the rural landscape that are the issue.

Some friends got us into GuildWars 2. It's no WoW, but it is kinda fun.
GW1 sucked.. I never wanted to try GW2.
Ugh. YES. What I saw of the story was okay, but the gameplay was awful. GW2 is actually a bit better and plays more like is expected of an MMO while still being enough of a challenge.
I have a friend that thought GW1 was the best ever..
You keep strange friends.
I enjoyed GW1. It did something unique to the MMO landscape during its time. GW2 though was by far the better game, more options, better story, and a significantly improved player experience.
@frodooftheshire said in DNS - am I taking crazy pills?:
@scottalanmiller I agree with you. Again - I didn't set this up, but I can't recall a time in the past where a hosting company didn't have the ability to edit DNS records.
Probably time to move DNS to Cloudflare.

@scottalanmiller said in USG Pro 4 and our Company Security:
Another really important thing to point out is that a Unifi USG is a UTM. We never talk about that because that would be a shitty way to sell firewalls. UTM is nothing more than a firewall with some extra features (that we generally recommend against because they are either stupid and wasteful, or if needed shouldn't be on the firewall as that is horrible security practice) and the USG has some UTM features that you can turn on (but most of us don't.)
Unifi themselves wouldn't classify the USG as a UTM device. Are you saying because it's a firewall it should then be classified as a UTM? Thinking a UTM is worthless is one thing, but saying a firewall is a UTM because a UTM is simple a "firewall with worthless added features," seems bizarre.
I feel like we're comparing a VW GTI with a Porsche 911. "The 911 is just an expensive GTI with fancy features." A lot of people would say the Porsche is a waste of money...that both are German cars and get you from point A to B, but they're still not the same.
Maybe Ubiquiti recently added a bunch of features you would find on a Sonicwall/Fortigate/Juniper device?
** An amendment - it looks since I last looked they do IDS/IPS so if you factor that in with the firewall it technically would meet Wikipedia's definition of a UTM, but Ubiquiti would still never classify it as such since every device in that category usually offers some sort of gateway antivirus, content filtering, application control, spam filtering, etc.**
Apt comparison.... In both cases marketing is where the money is spent.

Here is an odd one, but I wonder if anyone (cough cough Jared) has ever looked for an outdoor SIP phone? We've got an outdoor area that we use constantly at the office, but it would be really handy if our helpdesk line could ring out there. Right now, that's a huge pain. Going to use a wireless phone for the moment. But something more stable would be nice.
Everything I have ever seen in this area is industrial. Not something I would want on the patio.
I would lean towards some kind of hinged cover that you can put up or down. as needed.
Picture a box upside down over the phone, with a hinge on one side to lift the entire box off the phone.
Makes sense.
The box could be made aesthetically pleasing to match the area.
Paul is thinking about building something. We are just about to start a new paint and wiring project for that exact area. So the right time to be doing something.
Obviously a box in direct sun will get super hot and melt anything put inside but depending, stuff like that something along the lines of a simple cover or something else that you can fold out of the way could work
Good point on the heat. It's Texas and that gets direct sun.
I believe we were using the Cisco branded version of this at my last place of work.
@jevans said in USG Pro 4 and our Company Security:
This is from the Rep:
"UTM (Unified Threat Management) This is where you have multiple layers of security at the gateway to protect against threats. These typically come with a subscription for regular update usually daily or even multiple times a day for their threat updates. Also DPI SSL inspection. "
This is why he was saying the USG will not be a viable option for us.
Why were you even running this by them? They don't really need to know what equipment is running in the rack.
You can also host Zabbix on a VPS. It can eat up storage in a hurry if you're not careful though.

They also have some type of container enabled, so I'd bet on a type-3 and a type-2.
Type-2 what?
He is talking about the type of hypervisor that Synology is running.
But he mentioned Type-3, and there is no such thing in hypervisor parlance. Type-0 is unofficial and not real, just a misunderstanding of Type-1 but used to refer to KVM and ESXi, Type-1 is KVM, Hyper-V, ESXi, and Xen; then there is Type-2 which is VMware Workstation and VirtualBox; and Type-C for Containers.
I think he was calling a container a Type-3, I've heard others refer to the same before.
Same. Not correctly but I've heard it for sure.

Doesn't that require MongoDB? I've never deployed it so curious. Although it can store all it's data in a git repository which is a really big draw.

@scottalanmiller I agree with this too. From what I read last they are the 3rd largest networking producer in the world. Don't know if this is still true though. I think we would hear about it a lot more regardless if there was something really wrong.
Yeah, they are huge and trusted by most of the world.
Everything against them seems mostly political. The UK did a huge security audit and said all this stuff was bad (even though reading through the actual comment it was mostly that they didn't think Huawei was capable of making improvements.) However they never released an official public report.
@scottalanmiller said in IT reporting website for every day users:
Dokuwiki is the right answer because it is so much simpler and no one that can't format should ever be allowed to give a status (it means that they are too stupid to understand the status) and no one should be formatting anything anyway when giving a status, so making it easier to screw up makes no sense
This. No requirements for a backend other then a webserver makes it portable and easy to use.
@wirestyle22 If you're looking for automation. You can make some really cool dashboards with Grafana.

I'm on season 3 of the 100 and all I can say is this is not what I expected when I watched the Pilot episode.
Safe to say I'm hooked.
It's a surprisingly good series. I thought it was going to mostly be teen drama BS. Turns out it's a mostly compelling Science fiction story.

@Mike-Davis said in Where Does a 66 Block Get Its Name:
I'm not sure where you got that picture, but it looks like a data guy did that one. Phone guys typically strip the cables way back and typically bring the pairs in from the top and down when the punch them down. On the other hand, maybe that's just a regional thing.
Phone guys bring the wires in behind the 66 block and then out to punch down.
No phone guy bridges across just to loop down either. All of those loops would be on the left.
Yeah, we had some of these (giant ones actually used to feed ~1000 phones all over campus) and they would sit on standoffs and all the wires would be tucked behind the block and out the side for a punch down. The insulation was stripped at the entrance to the block.

cisco 3702 waps flashing red. damn, i may have to contact cisco support and speak with the phillipines again.
Replace them with Unifi. Cheaper and probably much less time spent.
Yep it's just the name of the model
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/66_block
The term 66 block reflects its Western Electric model number.
Isn't it the name of the series that Bell released in the 60's? It's like WD40.
