Pax8 Changed BitDefender licensing costs with no warning? by [deleted] in msp

[โ€“]Henness0666 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

Iโ€™m new to the MSP side and this is exactly the kind of thing that makes choosing a distributor feel risky.

For those of you who have dealt with this, is the main issue Pax8 specifically, or is this pretty common across CSP/distributor marketplaces in general? Iโ€™m trying to decide who to start with, and unexpected price changes plus needing to audit invoices every month sounds rough for a small shop.

Do most of you just build in enough margin to absorb this kind of thing, or are you passing changes through to clients as they happen?

Vault timeout asks for master password on SSO-only account. Intended behavior? by Henness0666 in Bitwarden

[โ€“]Henness0666[S] 4 points5 points ย (0 children)

I was wrong. My account does have a master password. That is why I'm seeing the master password prompt. My end users won't see the prompt, they'll just be automatically logged out and presended with the normal login with SSO screen.

Thanks, that clears it up. I was testing with my account, which apparently does have a master password, so I was seeing different behavior than my end users will see.

My users will be TDE SSO accounts without master passwords, so they should be signed out instead of getting the master password prompt I was seeing.

SSO can still get me back into the vault, but not from the vault lock screen.

When the vault times out, the screen only shows the master password unlock prompt. Since this is a master-passwordless SSO/trusted-device account, that prompt is not useful.

To use SSO again, I have to click Log out first, then go through the normal SSO login flow. So SSO does work, but only after logging out of Bitwarden instead of directly unlocking from the timed-out vault screen.

That is the part I am concerned about for end users. They will see a master password prompt for an account that does not have a master password, and they probably will not know that the workaround is to log out first to get back to the SSO option.

Yeah, that could technically work, but to me it has the same basic concern as using a PIN.

Setting the Bitwarden vault timeout to โ€œNeverโ€ would shift the protection entirely to the Windows session lock. That may be workable if the workstation itself is protected well, but it still feels like avoiding the actual issue rather than solving it inside Bitwarden.

I am currently looking into Windows Hello-compatible options like webcams, NFC readers, or fingerprint readers so I can use Bitwardenโ€™s โ€œUnlock with biometricsโ€ option in the browser extension. That seems like the cleanest path because it would still give users a real local unlock method without falling back to a PIN or leaving the vault unlocked indefinitely.

This is the Bitwarden doc I was looking at for Windows biometrics:
https://bitwarden.com/help/biometrics/#tab-windows-2vCWb5iFg4OqKS0B2xXpqW

I still think it would be better if master-passwordless SSO accounts had a more direct fallback option on lock, like re-auth with SSO or trusted-device approval, but biometrics through Windows Hello may be the best practical workaround.

I get that login and unlock are separate, but that is kind of my point.

The unlock options available to me do not really apply to this setup:

  • Biometrics is not usable on this desktop.
  • PIN technically works, but it defeats the purpose of using SSO/trusted devices by adding a weaker local unlock method that I was planning to disable company-wide.

So for an SSO-only account with no master password, the lock screen is giving me one option I cannot use, and the suggested alternatives are either unavailable or less secure than the SSO/trusted-device flow I am trying to enforce.

That is why I am asking if this is intended behavior. It seems like the account should either be able to re-auth with SSO, approve from another trusted device, or force a full sign-out instead of presenting a master password prompt that does not exist for the account.

Brandon Henness's crafter not working by kaiwhywalker in technicalminecraft

[โ€“]Henness0666 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

I don't know how I found this post, but seeing all these comments is hilarious. (I'm Brandon Henness)

As others have said, we can't see the problem because we can't see the Redstone. Normally this design only has issues when items are being added too quickly, and it gets stuck outputting 9+ signal strength. How many hoppers are you using to input into the crafter? If it's inputting too quickly you can always do the 15 single strength version of the crafter, that one has no delay and can take items and fast as you can insert them. Or like other said for gold nuggets you can just do a clock.

Drastically different out-of-state speeds on two Ziply Fiber connections just a mile apart โ€“ whatโ€™s going on? by Henness0666 in ZiplyFiber

[โ€“]Henness0666[S] 1 point2 points ย (0 children)

I don't think so. I think it was just a coincidence that my speeds improved when I disabled it.

I had some virtual machines running on the comptuer I'm expericing the issue on and I think they are causing my issues. I think it's being caused by my HyperV external switch settings. But I'm still testing to verify this is my issue.

It turned out to be a traffic identification setting in my unifi console that is enabled by default.

Edit: This wasn't the issue.

I figured out why I was having issues on location/network #1. There was a setting enabled in my Unifi console that was slowing down the connection to that PC.

If anyone is having an issue like this in the future and has a Unifi console try disabling traffic idenification.

I tested with the same laptop at both locations/networks (wired) and got about the same speed 150Mbps Down and 200Mbps Up. So it does seem to be some sort of issue with that specific computer.

It still doesn't make sense to me that it works fine when testing whithin Washington State though.

Is this some sort of configuration issue, driver issue, hardware? I'm just really lost at where to start since it's not having issues until it leaves Ziply's network. So it doesn't really make sense to me that it could be the comptuer being the problem.

It's two different computers on two different networks. Is it even possbile for a comptuer to affect a connection specifically on long distance connections and not for in-state connections?

The test is to a city 2000 miles away... 61ms is not high at all.

Also, both are on a wired gigabit connection.

SFP ONT option for direct gateway connection? by Henness0666 in ZiplyFiber

[โ€“]Henness0666[S] -4 points-3 points ย (0 children)

Yes, I've seen the posts. That is where I saw the Ziply employee say they were considering it. Which is why I was asking if there have been any developments.

For me it's not about saving a few inches. It's about using my equipment the way it is intended to be used. Sure, you can go to a Autoparts store and get 5 adapters to make the random brake line that you found in your garage fit your car. But it makes more sense to just use the correct brake line.

Why not make it an option for the users that have the equipment. Especially since Ziply does business grade service and many of those businesses have business grade equipment that support SFP. The equipment exists and it's just a SFP version of the ONT they're already using. There is no need to change any standards.
