Sigh - again - NOT HACKED!

those accounts were compromised because the account owner didn't follow best practice and use a different password for each site, and a lesser site was compromised.

Fanstastic!!! something could never really get C@C to provide.

Self entitled twats.. that's all.

A better point would be, they bought Nokia for $7.3 Billion, and wrote it all down, and recently paid out over 930 Million more in layoffs for the remaining Nokia staff.

This $1 Billion for cars would be nothing!

This started as a topic in What are you doing now.

I found this list of instructions on how to use Clonezilla to move from a larger disk to a smaller one, assuming the data is less than the smaller drive.

"Pseudo-cloning" of a larger hard drive to smaller one may be accomplished by using Clonezilla. Effectively you can save and restore the disk's partitions. The following steps (developed for HDD to SSD transfer) will get you there:

(1) The first trick is to use Gparted to resize the partitions on the hard drive, shrinking each partition so as to reduce the amount of unused space it contains. Obviously, the partitions must be sized such that the total space required for all the partitions is less than the capacity of the SSD.

(2) One then runs Clonezilla and makes a copy of the individual hard disk partitions (using the saveparts option), storing these temporarily on an external USB drive. Note that it is necessary to save the partitions (saveparts) rather than making an image of the entire disk (savedisk).

(3) With the SSD installed in the target machine, the second trick is to use the partition manager once more to create the desired partition structure on the SSD.

(4) Clonezilla is then used to restore the saved partitions (using restoreparts) onto the SSD.

See: "Cloning” a hard drive to a smaller SSD for more discussion on the process and a number of links for reference sources.

Wondering the best way to implement RADIUS into my environment.

AD on Server 2003
Unifi AP's
(I do have a "spare" 2012R2 server ready (For NPS Service and CA if needed))

Seriously? 2003? You know MS dumped support for that a few years ago? No more security updates.

Sounds like he, too, is an IT Cowboy. We're a dying breed. But those of us still around have proved our mettle on the ol' dusty trail of tears. Also, Vista.

You and your fancy smancy Vista... back in my day we used Windows Me and were happy to have it.

O365? pft. Back in my day we wrote IP addresses on the back of our shirts and ran the mail to each site. High speed was just a really fast guy

Sneaker-net anyone?

wow, how much of the internet as a whole is affected by these attacks? The potential to bring it all down seems pretty high.

This touches a bit on the crytpoware talk we were having yesterday.

Apparently there is newish ransomware that will find network shares that it has write permissions to and hit them up as well.

I guess in that case SSH would be best. And creating a dedicated backup user who is the only user who has write access to the volume would be another layer of protection.

So, I have to do a medical test. The agreed upon cost for this test between my insurance provider and the test provider is $253. The test provider will allow me to get the test at $200 cash.

Does anyone see a problem with me paying the $200 cash, then turning in a reimbursement request to my insurance for this test?

Would this unethical in any way?

Thirteen kids have descended on my home! That's in additional to my own. Most around eight to twelve years old. Our deck is loaded with kids playing games.

Weird.. just random kids showing up.. parents have no clue where their kids are, etc.

Sounds like the 80's when I grew up.

People are so paranoid these days.

So once sysprep'd how do I deploy/send to target machine?

I use Clonezilla, but you can setup a FOG server to push the image to and pull it from.

What did you use to pay? if Paypal or CC - I would contact them.

@stuartjordan said in Microsoft putting MSPaint out to pasture:

Will be removed automatically with the Next update I should imagine , I use Linux for some servers, but it won't be long before my full personal desktop will move over, getting the hump with these forced updates and features.

If I have a program installed, I would like it to stay and not be removed automatically just because Microsoft want to, I'm sure we will all be on monthly subscriptions for our O.S soon as well.

I don't see a subscription for consumers to ever be a thing with Windows.

But the removal of software with no replacement is definitely crap!

This all said, the main person behind the Paint.Net project has said that he is updating Paint.Net to be able to be published into the Windows Store.

If you're a mega overclocker, and you want a fishtank on your desk.. sure why not

Don't you just hate it when you follow a guide and get something working........months later you want to do it again for production and guess what................Can't find the bloody guide!!!

that's why I've started posting the information of importance here on ML instead of just a link to the site.

@scottalanmiller said in Notorious Short-seller labels Ubiquiti Networks $UBNT as FRAUD:

Honestly it's Citron that looks like fraud. That article is straight out of Facebook "You'll be shocked to learn what happened next...." land. It's red flags of false journalism all over it.

Do they make a point? Not one that I saw. Basically they sound jealous. Their complaints are that UBNT is doing well and they don't like the CEO. They don't complain about anything real. Just words used and the success numbers. And Citron goes on and on about how they expose more fraud than anyone. They sound like Donald Trump writing Facebook ad copy.

This is one of the biggest issues - The webpage screams I'm a fraud - I'm here to scam your money from you...

I almost get the feeling like Citron was paid off by Ubiquiti's competition to make this claim.

Right now we are about 1.5TB in. So in 5 years we may hit the 4TB mark. Just want to make sure that I have a good understanding on this.

You can always do a one time "grow" by taking a backup and moving to bigger drives. Even today you can hit 8TB with a single drive pair. So you have tons of head room.

And a few years from now you would likely replace the server, not increase storage. Growing storage always sounds better than the reality is when the time comes.

You can say that again.

I'm currently using around 1.2 TB on my VM host - but I've been looking at actual real business use data - it's around 50 GB. The rest are things like WSUS, and the tons of ISOs, drivers, system images, etc that I have.

I'm in the process of pulling all of that stuff out of my VM setup and into a 2 drive NAS.
