If you want to stick in that vein, I'm familiar with two of them. Snort and Suricata.
I've run both in IPS mode (where they actively block attacks). Suricata is the more performant option from my experience.
It's been a while since I've run either of them on live traffic though.
We're supposed to be reselling Cylance. I haven't heard of any actual sales or installs yet, so I don't really know the ins and outs of it yet.

After one of the last node updates, I have to swipe down to refresh to load new / updated content… is this something others see also?
I have to do something to see the updates. I tend to click the unread posts button anyway, so not a big deal for me. I did notice that I'm not seeing updates until after I click on the button now, before they would automatically update.

No thanks -
Though I have often wondered how the elders in the Japanese Society did sit.. chair, floor, standing just doesn't matter any more for me.... I just hurt, and to take the levels of pain medication needed would burn my system down like it was a house filled with spiders.oh - that and I really like having dual monitors... I can't really function anymore from just a single monitor or laptop... unless I'm doing only one thing - Using it for the Laser or the Radio..
Get yourself a portable monitor for when you travel. I still love having mine, even with it being an older lower resolution model.

playing with pfsense software router in Oracle VirtualBox.
Why? What's the goal? It's pretty rare that I would want a software router outside of a lab setting.
It was something I was working on a while ago that just spun back up to start over again.
I've not used a software firewall in decades. In a lab, sure, but not in production. You really always want hardware, but sometimes in the cloud you can't. But typically your cloud provider will provide the firewall in those cases. So it basically never comes up.
well then it's a good thing it was in VM's and not in a production setting .
No, I was explaining why I don't bother playing with the different ones out there - because it's not knowledge I can then apply to production. So while potentially interesting, it's not very valuable IMHO. There was a time when products like pfSense would get put on dedicated hardware because nothing on the market was any good. But today, it's very much a flipped market. Today you get better prices and better products by avoiding that stuff rather than by using it.
Just suggesting that if you are looking to play with something to further your career, pretty much anything else would be better because essentially (not completely) it's a product category without a use case today, making the time spent learning it and researching it lost to you.
Unless you are at a point in your career where there's just nowhere to go so you are no longer learning for the point of career growth
Nothing wrong with playing around with tech if you find it fun. Just making sure you understand that knowing every software firewall on the market inside and out won't give you any soft of advantage of someone that just took a nap instead.
I get it, but i'm pretty sure you were the one who told me / gave me a "project" to help me on my learning journey.
I'd completely switch gears and go with VyOS instead if you want something useful for a career. It's what landed me my current position at least.

They even have video tutorials to do this
To me, video tutorials are more of a pain. Like when I'm looking for a single command I need to run in the middle of the instructions, good luck quickly finding that in a video!
@Dashrender said in Is Real Estate Actually a Good Investment on Average?:
In looking at it from Scott's point of view - it looks like renting property is almost never worth the investment. So then who are the idiots who are buying these home and renting them to others?
How are these investment groups making any money buying all of these houses and then renting them all - taking all of these putting them under an umbrella and then selling ownership shares in that umbrella... how are they making money?
I know in this area, most of the single-family rental properties were bought as tax write-offs. They're known to always loose money, so we've got slum lords that buy these things and rent them out till they get condemned by the city/county.
@scotth said in Outage - Armstrong in N-Western PA:
Could easily be.
I'm not sure (maybe Windstream -- ugh) is the next hop up from one of our sites in NE Ohio and they were down all day Monday.
Some odd behavior with our cell service lately too. We have dead spots where we have never had issues before. Verizon, in this case.
The storms that came through earlier this week wrecked havock on infrastructure in NE Ohio. We still have roads closed and people we know are not due to get power restored till this weekend.
At work I've cleared a record number of tickets this week because we had so many outages.

We're relaxing and trying to recover after a day spent a Cedar Point. Back in the hotel and looked at my step counter, 18093. A normal day is ~5600.
Did you get hit by any of the storms yesterday?
Around 3:45 PM. We got into the park at 9:00 AM, so we still had a long day riding rides and roller coasters. Very few lines this time of year as it's the first week Cedar Point is actually open during the week.
Wow,
I haven't been there since I was in high school. I would like to get there again.
You definitely should. Halloweekends is a great time to go if it is still warm with no rain.
Halloweekends when we went was so busy as to make it not worth the trip (paying for the expensive fastpass would've helped, but we didn't know ahead of time).
We're fastpass fans. My oldest daughter just responded, nope. I'm working her over with my son-in-law's help. This is going to be fun.
Yeah, fastpass is a must if you're going when there are any crowds at all. We were just walking on most of the rides and coasters.
FastPass is dead - Genie Plus is the new thing, and it sucks in comparison, and it's not free.
I believe you are thinking of Disney. I chose no in March as I didn't think I would enjoy paying upwards of $15 per ride at a specific time or $20 per day. On vacation, my time is worth less than $15 per hour so I just picked specific rides to wait for and blew off the rest.
Cedar Point still has their Fast Pass. I just noticed that they have a Fast Pass Plus. Also the original Fast Pass no longer includes 4 of the top rides. Could have been there a while but I just noticed this year.
Yep, we're talking about Cedar Point, which is only ~2 hr drive away from us.
Also, yes, Fast Pass Plus is what you'd want to get. More expensive per day than a season pass (if you get the season pass for the 2022 season today 6/6/2022, it's $99).

Looks like I was forgetting a few steps. Try https://samsig.dk/extending-gpt-lvm-disk-on-centos/ (It doesn't have you delete/create the partition).

@travisdh1 said in Question about fdisk:
So raw partitions with no LVM? Sad geek.
Is parted available in CentOS7? It's been so long I forget, but parted tends to act better if you are able to use it.
If I remember correctly, it is.
Yes, by default. No idea how he went with that assumption.
The disk is bigger.
But it is not visible yet.
Normally, you simply use
fdiskto delete the partition and recreate it, then LVM and such see the space. But I cannot do that because of the above.
That would not be normal at all when using LVM. fdisk/parted shouldn't need to be used.
pvresize /dev/pathtopv
lvextend -r -l +95%FREE /dev/pathtolv (pick you're preferred percentage, I like to leave room for temporary snapshots)
The final step depends on the filesystem in use.
XFS xfs_growfs /mount/point
EXT4 resize2fs /mount/point
The deleting and recreating the partition bit is only needed when directly on the physical hardware. Since you resized the virtual partition, just skip that.

Trying to find a Mac installer for a windows based software - I haven't been able to find one yet.
My next thought is to have them install a hypervisor and create a windows based machine in the hypervisor and install the software there. than they'd have to spin up the VM and run the software.. and these aren't the brightest people..
decisions decisions.Thankfully I found it in the Apple store on my Support iPad.. Having them check now.
Never mind, they can download it but it doesn't load anything like it is supposed to .
Windows software running without Windows AND without AMD64 hardware would be a challenge of epic proportions. I think if someone had a Windows emulator that didn't even require PC hardware that it would be much bigger news.
There has been an ARM in beta for years. Otherwise some of Microsoft's own hardware wouldn't function!

decisions decisions.With Mac, the hypervisor can be completely transparent to the user. You put a desktop icon for the Windows software on the main desktop, and the user never even knows they're running under a different OS.
Of course, you have to pay for the hypervisor(s) that enable that for Mac. Just a cost of using the platform.
interesting. I did not know that.
which one do you recommend?
I think we used Parallels.
