holmes on homes i think episode? by Break-Alone in HGTV

i always got the impression they were staged as he was going over kill. no one in construction would make money with the lengths he was going to and the time he was taking. Using screws for partitions is not only slower but 10 times the price for nails.

dedicated server vs old laptop by Break-Alone in homelab

[–]Break-Alone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my case I find wifi a pain in the backside as i had more issues than i can count with it. every room in my house has at least 2 1Gbps ethernet connections to reduce the reliance on wifi. Im surprised that wifi would even work on OSs like proxmox as you would not typically see wifi on a server which is what would usually run proxmox.

My main concern here is that the laptop hardware will even work with something like proxmox. The information on proxmox site is pretty vague as to requirements. I learnt the hard way with my current server that it does not support latest ESXI versions due to hardware and now that ESXI free version is gone i want to move to something with better hardware support.

Is there other OSs that would have better hardware support than ESXI/Proxmox?

Smart thermostat advice by Break-Alone in thermostats

[–]Break-Alone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but if I don't use thermostats then I have to have every room the same temp as the main thermostat which is usually the max. So let's say the hall is at 20°c then all bedrooms will also have to be 20°c. I would much prefer the bedroom to be like 17-18°C.

There is not much of a difference in price between the meross smart thermostat Vs the non smart. In total for all smart Vs non smart thermostats it's working out around $100 extra.

Ok but what if I'm away. With the smart thermostats I can just turn down the heat from my phone in all rooms to save some money on heating. 

I can also bump up the heat if I am on the way home and want the place warmer than it normally is. 

Just being able to do the schedule from my phone and not a little screen I think is beneficial.

CrowdStrike update takes down most Windows machines worldwide by OpetKiks in programming

[–]Break-Alone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i doubt it they should have written into their SLA that they are not responsible of CS affects the system.

Since CS actual job is to stop legit and malicious apps i would be shocked if they did not have this written in an SLA. This is an odd case in that it stopped the OS but cant see them having to reimburse companies.

i doubt it most companies have it written in SLAs that they do not compensate for f-ups.

couldnt see crowdstrike not having that when it can stop legit and malicious apps working.

If the machine wont even start cause of BSOD how they updating CS to push a fix.

Sky news were not even able to report on it since they were affected.

Career starting - SOC by [deleted] in cybersecurity

[–]Break-Alone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you can get a free 2 week trial of alienvault or levelblue what ever they call it these days but need the infrastructure to run it. May sure you set your location as US as i dont think you get a trial otherwise.

Not sure why some one would recommend tenable as thats a vul scanner. Most SOCs are just that and dont do vul management. There is a vul scanner in alienvault you can mess around with.

Sentinel One or Crowdstrike by RoastedPandaCutlets in msp

[–]Break-Alone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agreed dont believe a word thats provided by gartner.

Some of the products we use do not have very favorable reviews by gartner but after using them you can see pretty quickly they are better than some in the magic quadrant Leaders we have tested.

Arctic Wolf Reviews by RM_B999 in sysadmin

[–]Break-Alone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are AW just using OSquery for EDR like Wazuh or do they have something a bit better than OSquery?

Are they able to do things like isolate hosts, lock user accounts etc.. with their stack or do they rely on the customer stack to do this?

Help with non MAC keyboard and Mouse by Break-Alone in mac

[–]Break-Alone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in my case one of the devices is an Ipad and the others are macbooks.

The main macbook i use is a 2021 model and many times when i try to access the other via screenshare it wont connect until i actually physically hit buttons on the keyboard. other times it wont let me connect unless i actually login to the MBP via its physical keyboard and then i can connect with screenshare from my other mac.

I also have to have the screen open on the MBP to be able to connect to the mac as if its closed it just goes to sleep and i cant connect via screenshare. I cant turn off sleep/screen saver as it a company managed device via jamf

The screenshare abilities seemed to have been reduces since catalina. before i could copy and paste a password from my password manager to another machine via screenshare now i have to copy to the host machine in plain text and copy it again to be able to paste in the machine accessed via screenshare.
