Can you install it on (or bring up) another domain member server and install Azure AD Connect on there instead... if a reinstall doesn't work first?

RE: Searching for text in file

@Pete-S said in Searching for text in file:
If you have a text file that looks like this:
start_folder='/folder1/abc.txt' iterations='123' passphrase='xyz' last_command='invoke' return_value='0'
How can you pick out just xyz when looking for "passphrase"?
I know
grep
will get me the line but what should I use if I want just a part of the line?
Can it be done in one command or do I have to pipe several together?If you the text has a character that would be a good delimiter, you can pipe grep to cut... ie:
cat myfile.txt|grep "iterations"|cut -d '=' -f 2 Output: '123'
the -f # is which column you want.
There may be other ways to do it, but that's the first way I can think of.
You can specify a file with grep, no need to pipe in from cat.

RE: How to let only customers download files with wget/curl?
Why not force https, then allow them to wget/curl with basic authentication using something they already know like Custer number and company name (for example). That can always be logged and tracked, alerted on if it's abused.

RE: Ticket versus Projects
My thoughts on this all, as well as a definition I found of project that matched my preconceived idea:
Tickets: problems, incidents, change, service requests, etc. from those you provide your service... e.g. Stakeholders, end users, customers, ...yourselves, etc.
Project: (lots of definitions for project) A temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product, service or result... Which, could be a means to accomplish a linked ticket or tickets.
But it doesn't matter what u call it.
I'd keep tickets where they belong, and manage projects where they are easier to manage. For some, kanban, etc... Others, take your pick.

RE: Linux: GeoIP Blocking
Really, the only use for it is to check off a checkbox when you have to follow policy for laws as example. Like how Netflix or news sites do it for licensing or gdpr reasons for example. Then if people VPN to get by its fine, u did ur part.

RE: Photo Backup And Sharing
@NashBrydges said in Photo Backup And Sharing:
For those of you here who support photographers or you are an amateur photographer yourself, I'm wondering what you use to store and share your photos. I know I can use Nextcloud but it's not really designed for things a photographer might want. I'm aware of 2 open source products...Lychee and Piwigo. Wondering if others use these or if you would recommend something else. This is just for me so FOSS is always my first option. Let me know if you have any recommendations.
As for features...
Needs to allow for albums
Filters for either file names or photo attributes like shuter, location, date...etc, maybe also allow me to add tags
Ability to share via links (secure). A bonus if I can set expiry dates and force passwords.
Must have mobile app so I can upload directly from mobile and view via mobile appIn full transparency, I've not fully tried either Lychee or Piwigo but will likely do that along with other recommendations here.
Oh, I should mention, I don't want to rely on either Apple One or Google One. Must be separate from mobile device manufacturer.
We have tons of family photos and videos, hundreds of thousands. We use OneDrive, which has all the features you mentioned.
In addition to the features you mentioned, it supports generating HTML code to embed the photo... for displaying on websites. Also does tagging and automatic tagging. Lots more cool stuff too. Oh, versioning and backup as well, which is nice. Allows commenting, shows activity, notifications, captions. -
RE: Light weight Distro for VMs
@gjacobse said in Light weight Distro for VMs:
Is a light weight distro going to handle a VM host system?
Why not pick your favorite flavor of Linux based OS and start with a minimal install and only add what you need? That should be light enough, no?

No, 100k daily private views by birds, dolphins... and aliens. No people and certainly not public.

RE: Sangoma Ransomware
@scottalanmiller said in Sangoma Ransomware:
Pretty minor. Ransomware really doesn't pose any threat to open source. If anything, this is a great example of "haha, automatigically immune to ransomware!" Except for their paid customer list, which doesn't impact clients.
It could be that, the ransomware is the only part they noticed so far. Perhaps their systems were infiltrated months ago, monitored, data collected - including secrets, a large number of possibilities there... ending with them finally initializing ransomware.
We do know for a fact lots of data was stolen and made public. Nobody knows what else was done and to what, until the company says something. They still haven't responded.

RE: NGINX Just Stop Working
At this point it's likely a more efficient use of time to migrate to a new VM if there's no indication of anything in any logs. Maybe debug logging could shine some light on something like you said, hopefully it does it again when expected, or maybe it won't help at all.... who knows. But being that it can be rebooted all the time, doesn't sound like a LoB service, so yeah, I'd just bring up a new VM and migrate as there is spare time and not waste so much time on further troubleshooting. Before you swap the traffic over to the new one, you can run tests on the new one to see if the same issue exists, too.

RE: Gophemeral
Awesome project!
Question, is the secret encrypted withing the DB which uses the pw to decrypt? Additionally, is the DB encrypted at rest?
-
RE: Gophemeral
@stacksofplates said in Gophemeral:
I'm not sure I understand the first question. The password isn't stored in the database. It's generated randomly and used to encrypt the message and then given to you. That encrypted string is then stored in the database. If you lose the password, your message is not recoverable.
Yes, that answers my first question exactly... I meant it as in the secret is encrypted within the database, such that if the DB is compromised, the secrets are fully encrypted using the password that is given to you (aka the decryption key), with no record or log containing the key.
It also plays in to Q2, which is answered
I also see that the data from the web form is sent to the server via https (https://api.gophemeral.com/api/message), which was going to be my next question but seen for myself, and obviously from the server back to me.

If the company thinks wasting man hours on that is a good idea the company is insane
While I largely agree, our R&D laptops are ~2-3K a pop. (fully max spec' MPB or XPS with onsite repair agreements).
I did hear we have started on the Mac's using DEP, so the device will auto-enroll in MDM even if the device is wiped.
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204142Makes no sense developing on a laptop IMHO - unless you're talking about another kind of R&D in another field.
On our team we remote into development servers and all development and testing is run there. Which means the computer you're actually sitting in front of just needs to be able to run a browser, rdp, ssh etc. So any machine suitable for general office work would get the job done. So no 2-3K laptops needed for development, even if that is not the primary reason. I kind of assumed everyone worked that way but haven't actually given it much thought until now.
I haven't really seen anyone do this other than CAD work. Everywhere I've been it's local development, possibly using Eclipse Che or Coder or something for a remote IDE but still local.
VSCode and JetBrains tools allow you to include your development environment in a container. So when you open the project it will open inside of a container with all of the dependencies included. That's the best workflow ive seen so far.
I believe you and find it very interesting. Wov. If that's how most people work, I'm just blown away. I assumed everyone was remote and had full on development and test environments at their disposal.
Mirrors what I've seen. What little bit I've seen it seems that development remains more often local than remote.
ChromeOS seems to encourage away from that, but not many devs using that.
it's like the LANLess idea, great idea, rarely implemented
If by LANless you mean a Zero Trust Architecture, then it's more than an idea.... it's widely implemented, and proven as one of the most effective methods of security. There are large global enterprises everywhere who have already adopted and implemented it. There are many others who are currently implementing it, and there are many planning to.
It's the only true path forward. Those who don't adopt Zero Trust Architecture, will surely end up wishing they had.

RE: Spectrum VS T-mobile home internet
I went with the lowest tier Spectrum 200/20 for now. Once T-mobile shows support for the address I'll consider that. I hate the 20 upload, that's just weird, but whatever. 200 should work for now, if not upgrading is easy.
