This could be great for AMD, I would like to see them start dominating the server market more.

took ages to figure out why packets were dropping in pfsense. I could use ICMP but everything else was dropping. One setting I had to change was "Advanced > Disable Hardware Checksum offload".....man, one checkbox and all is working correctly, what a nightmare lol.

Realtek network card or your pfsense is a VM?

Yep pfsense is a VM

I don't see why Let's Encrypt should govern websites, I think let's encrypt has done a great job trying to push all websites to use ssl. Out of good there will always be bad folks taking advantage.

Just cooked on barbie, too hot to cook anything in the kitchen...nice bit of chicken and burger..

During the weekend I have setup a small VPS for monitoring network latency, I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 Server edition, I have assigned 1GB Ram and just 15gb hdd to this machine.

Multiple locations can be monitored, and alerts can be setup, here is what the interface looks like:

If you would like to setup SmokePing, please just follow these steps:

Setup a VPS, specs don't need to be high. [e.g 1gb ram]

Install Ubuntu Server 16.04 - https://www.ubuntu.com/download/server
Once installed:

I changed my NIC from DCHP to a static IP Address, eg:

sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

#My Interface File, My interface is eth0, yours may be different, you can find this out by typing "IP Addr" at the bash CLI

# The Primary network Interface
auto eth0
Iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.202
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.254
dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4

Once completed I then restarted the networking service

sudo service networking restart

You should now have a static IP address for your VPS, you can confirm by typing: Ifconfig
I then updated my machine:

sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y

Once this was completed I restarted the machine:

sudo reboot

Once rebooted if we log back in, we are now ready to install smokeping:

sudo apt-get install smokeping

Once installed:

# Enable the config and mod_cgi
sudo a2enconf smokeping
sudo a2enmod cgid
#Reload the apache config
service apache2 reload

You should now be ready to edit the targets for Smokeping:

sudo nano /etc/smokeping/config.d/Targets

Here is an example of my Targets file below, if you would like furthur help with your Targets file please visit: http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/doc/smokeping_examples.en.html

+ Menu
menu = Google
title = Google Trace

++ Google
host = google.co.uk

+ GWMenu
menu = Gateway
title = Home Gw

++ Gateway
title = BT GW
host = 192.168.1.254

I then edited the pathnames file so sendmail points to the senmail instance or to a valid file otherwise smokeping won't run.

sudo nano /etc/smokeping/config.d/pathnames

sendmail = /bin/false

Install FASTCGI

sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-fcgid

Finally give smokeping and apache a quick restart:

sudo service smokeping restart
sudo service apache2 reload

You should now have a working smokeping Installation, you can access smokeping here:

http://Your.Server.IP/cgi-bin/smokeping.cgi

@WrCombs so much better, no annoying messages to restart my computer anymore.

We all love Nextcloud here at ML..

Ugh.... My new band is now drummer-less, and the search begins. Such a PITA. And right when we were starting to build a little steam and momentum. No bad blood, the guy just walked away, but here we are, high and dry.

That's Rough man
Drummers aren't hard to find, good ones however, are.

Truth. We know lots of good ones, all of them are in at least 3 bands and have no time. But the feelers are out, fingers crossed.

Good luck man.

Thanks. I'm going to concentrate on building my home setup for now... Gonna be rocking out mad beats and dubs.

you're into EDM music to then?

Got all the Dubs and Wubs coming outta Rojo's House .

I'm into everything that isn't pop. I'm a huge DnB head from way back, have played in a roots reggae/dub band, etc. I'll shoot you some links on the DM.

Don't mind a bit of Dnb sometimes, I mainly listen to hiphop. Also tunes I make are mainly trap/hiphop.

Hi All,

I know most of us here have setup and use our own nextcloud/owncloud servers, but I thought I would share this just in case this would interest anyone, I haven't personally tried this though.

@scottalanmiller @JaredBusch
have you seen or know about this PBX based on Asterisk.
http://ombutel.com

@eddiejennings Ok that makes sense, If you explain i'm sure they might be ok. But they may be funny with running nmap. But nmap is quite powerful and and can be run with scripts to find potential CVE's. Which ain't a bad thing tbh. all networks should be scanned.

Some vendors do this with software products, I normally click off the website and move on If I can't see clear costs upfront.

I can understand projects costs can vary, but you can at least give an estimated cost per/hour, or a rough cost per devices/users.

@scottalanmiller wow that view and position looks stunning. I'm slightly jealous

The team are great with their constant development of Nextcloud.

@wrcombs Need a powerful witch doctor to get rid of the spam lol

I've have used that ProfileWiz before by ForensiT, works really well.

Found this tutorial on using Lets Encrypt with RDS, might be useful for someone, have not tested this myself yet though.

There is also one for Exchange as well:

I've heard only office has excellent support for opening office documents with heavy formatting, how true this is I don't know as I haven't used it before.

it's a shame the Original owners of Screenconnect sold themselves out, but these buyouts normally end up making the product twice as expensive without any decent further development.
