About to go pack for a no-tech weekend. I'll be back in touch Monday.

I haven't experienced any issues with Sophos and email, yet. The one part time job in taking on uses Sophos endpoint protection, and was stopping a program from running, not that said program is any great shakes itself.

Are you using Sophos' hosted mailbagging service, though?

I honestly don't know for sure yet, is be surprised the as the secretary said they have mail hosted through Gmail.

@romo said in Sudo without Password?:

When using configuration management tools it does make things a lot easier to work with if you atleast have one user with passwordless sudo. You really don't need to log to the servers anymore, you only need to properly secure your ssh keys.

With things like salt stack, you don't even need that.

Depending on where you are, just press call the towing company?

I have to wonder about storagenews, I don't think they got the memo (probably being to nice)...

This summer HPE made several portfolio updates including the release of the fifth generation MSA platforms consisting of the MSA 2050 and MSA 2052 entry-level SAN arrays. Starting at under $10,000, the new MSA systems deliver a deep set of well-proven features (500,000 systems sold), along with reliability and ease of use that MSA has long been known for.

Uhm, since when?

oh,.. and considering the future of this goofy Surface,..... likely eBay

It's a Surface, time to go all Office Space on it.

@krisleslie said in Hitting the limits of the Ubiquiti EdgeRouter:

@scottalanmiller

I just saw the price of the Infinity lol I realized I need to go down a level :)
I'm hitting the same issue. I think we have maxed out our Edge Router (it get's insanely hot and utilization is often spiking to 70-90% with the QoS enabled.

I also so my 300 Mbps download speed drop to 100-160 Mbps (if I was lucky) and my 20 Mbps upload speed dropped to around 10-12 Mbps with the QoS enabled. I don't think it can handle the number of endpoints, QoS, and packet filtering we have on it. But at my other site, with same router but less people, endpoints etc they are just trucking along just fine. Of course there on a 100-150 Mbps download and 10-15 Mbps upload. But I think when everyone is on with every device, it's handling it fine.

ER-X or another model? They're all limited when doing QoS, so not really a surprise, but the other models all have a little beter cpu.

Home Lab stuff tonight.

In fact, moving to smartphone apps and no phone might actually be the best solution of all. I guess it would depend upon how much data they use while not in the office.

Not really. They don't work as good as one might hope. It is usually easier for the sales person to jsut call with their mobile. everyone is expected to have one anyway.

Yeah, not that comparing to Altigen is ever valid, but the MaxMobile app is "meh" at best.

Zoiper doesn't work?

Zoiper is just finicky at the best of times, and for whatever reason I've had no luck when on LTE instead of WiFi with it.

I use it regularly on LTE with little problem unless I am driving down 55.

Well, considering Motorola.... I'm going with the whole Lenovo breaking things.

get a real cell phone. ;)

Of course, and asap, but, money :(

@anthonyh said in Spiceworld Trip Cancelled Due to CA Legislation - Alternate Conference Suggestions?:

So, I work for a government agency in California. Legislation was passed where the state will not reimburse underlying agencies for travel expenses to states that have law(s) on the book that "have the effect of voiding or repealing existing state or local protections against discrimination..."

Isn't this a breach of the interstate commerce clause?

Since when has anyone paid any attention to little things like the constitution?

On a call. Realizing how much I detest OneDrive. Totally useless.

I've had good luck with it so far. What are your pain points?

No way to download or open files. It forces the opening of the file to Word Online, which doesn't work, and doesn't let me download to open it with an application that actually works.

I think you need to do a screen recording of this stuff someday. These sound like the weirdest issues.

What's interesting is that there are three places to download Onedrive documents.

None of those exist when something is emailed from OneDrive. remember I don't have a OneDrive account because Microsoft themselves hosed it.

Completely forgot about that, bother.

I hope they're just selling out as fast as they put new hardware in place, but I don't know any more than you do.

For those playing Project 1999, I finally found a client (I think). Hope to be in game sometime tomorrow, any advice for someone who's never played before?

! Step 1. Friend Serous and Sanabo :P

Hrm, first steps here, PvP or PvE server?

Hrm, so it may not be a bad thing I'm way behind after missing a couple of days?

Mangolassi.it was already so fast that it'd be hard for me to tell a difference without logging a lot of extra stats, because the meat bag running the computer can't process fast enough to tell already.

Happy Birthday to the oversized search engine that is trying to invade our lives every minute of every day. The Google.com domain was registered 20 years ago today. Happy birthday Google.

Huh, seems like it's been longer. Anyone else remember the days of "Jerry's Guide to the World Wide Web", Altavista, and AskJeeves? Don't, it's bad for your stress levels.

I generally keep the drive images in /var/lib/libvirt/images as that's the default.

If you're going without a gui (why would you want one with that little space anyway!). You can make the root partition tiny. I'd got for ~10GB, but 4GB is perfectly feasible for a minimal+KVM.

@tirendir said in Gaming - What's everyone playing / hosting / looking to play:

@travisdh1 Hats off to you travis, you can keep the trophy, the cake, and all that lol. I was working food service at the time, no way I was ever going to afford another computer (I did have a laptop and desktop at the time though). Hell, I got into playing MMOs because it was SOOO much cheaper to play them at the time than it was to play consoles or other PC games at $30-$50 apiece, and I would blow through 2/month or so.

Yeah, my younger, much more ADD addled self.

Seems like drives and RAID controller are missing.

yes
i have the drives except for .m2
Any recommendations for controller? An I right in assuming even the new cpu enabled raid on this chip/mobo is worthless?

It's most likely fakeRAID, which is less than worthless, yes. I like LSI cards (It's the manufacturer Dell re-brands for their PERC cards.)

Assuming this isn't going into production and will stay a lab system..

Stallard Tech is where I normally source this type of thing. They actually do offer workstations, which I'd normally tell you to head over to xByte. xByte doesn't do workstations tho.

@tirendir said in Gaming - What's everyone playing / hosting / looking to play:

@quixoticjeremy Only for one, relatively brief period over the entire time I played MMOs was I ever in a guild that was pushing world-firsts. It was brutal, and part of what burned me out on Everquest, even though I up to that point had loved it.

Little-known fact - The lore and story for Everquest was actually pretty bloody good! It's the biggest reason I also played WoW for as long as I did too. Yeah, I was kind of a serial-MMO-player for a while... including dual-boxing Everquest on two separate characters, often in different raids while playing WoW simultaneously. I was pretty nuts back in the day lol. =P

edit: Also though no, I didn't bot.. I was just crazy lol

Still not so bad as when I was playing Shadowbane after that went free to play. 3 computers, 10 characters, nothing running on a bot.

@eddiejennings said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

@jaredbusch

The bigger question is why is fail2ban getting 12GB of logs in a day.. This is a text log. That is a f*** ton of information.

Yep. I'll be figuring that out tomorrow when I can be back in the office.

All I can say is, good thing you had fail2ban running!

Why quote Scott, then give yourself the winning answer?

Because you can only select your own posts as the answer.

No wonder I can never find that option when I want it!

Nope, it's another one by @scottalanmiller's former roomie.
