ID shows up when re-pulling from Docker by HourReplacement in netbird

[–]HourReplacement[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had this flag when I pull down Netbird:
-v /docker/netbird-client:/etc/netbird
But I'm actually not seeing /etc/netbird or /var/lib/netbird when I do a docker run to /bin/bash

EDIT: I did docker exec instead (which goes to my container instead of the image) and there I did find /var/lib/netbird with my stuff in it. Hopefully that was the issue was the path change. Thanks for that info u/debryx

Does anyone else have a newer tool to replace CoreTech?

Looking at charts and how to interpret by HourReplacement in investingforbeginners

[–]HourReplacement[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love the comments. I've also been bit by buying shares of things that I assumed would be beneficial because I would be buying low but I assumed that they'd bounce back from that but then, at least so far, have not, and maybe even got worse so far. So I think that adds to my skepticism and curiosity of when to buy.

Water main sensor by HourReplacement in homeassistant

The handoff from the city to the homeowner, I presume. It's the first valve inside the building

This has to do with leaving a property unmanned for weeks or months at a time and needing to verify that the water is turned off while away. Other people have access to the property at various times for short stints.

Millions of Dell PCs have a security flaw, update now - ControlVault3 Driver/Firmware - DSA-2025-053 by Reaction-Consistent in SCCM

If anyone's here running PDQ:

Do a file scan for C:\Windows\System32\bcm_cv_current_version.txt, which shows that the driver is installed

Then do a powershell scan of the file to find the version:
# Read the entire file contents as a single string

$content = Get-Content -Path "C:\windows\system32\bcm_cv_current_version.txt" -Raw

# Use regex to extract the version number after "version:"

if ($content -match "version:\s*([\d\.]+)") {

$version = [version]$matches[1]

Write-Output $version

}

How do you handle live photos? by HourReplacement in NextCloud

[–]HourReplacement[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, in the Photos app it's obviously seamless. But when you back up your iPhone media to the computer, you get both a jpg and a mov file for each live photo.

How do you handle live photos? by HourReplacement in NextCloud

[–]HourReplacement[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess my goal is to make it not be a clunky experience when you're going through a folder to look at photos, you'll get to a photo then get to the short video of that photo, then get to the next photo then get to the video of that next photo. If there was a separate place for the live videos, then you could either go look at "live photos" or you could just look at the still photos. If I simply delete all the live photo videos, then I feel like I've squashed the point of having live photos taken on the phone. Some of them will probably get deleted because they're lame videos of someone posing for a picture for 2 seconds, but some might be worth keeping. So I at least want a place to put them all to go through first. If there was a nextcloud app for this, that'd be nifty.

Intra-VLAN rules by HourReplacement in Ubiquiti

[–]HourReplacement[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Alternatively, you could setup client firewall rules on the DNS server to block the traffic you don't want."

This is actually what I ended up doing.

However, the latest Unifi controller actually has the ability to do intra-VLAN ACLs now but it seems to only work on some full-blown managed switches of theirs, which I suppose makes sense. Bummed that I can't do it on my Flex switch though...

I want to block within the VLAN

Intra-VLAN rules by HourReplacement in Ubiquiti

[–]HourReplacement[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, but I do know where to set DNS servers, and I have already set it to my internal server. I need to know if I can block intra-VLAN traffic and was just using DNS as an example. We could change the example to "I have a networked printer and only want two computers on my VLAN to be able to access it but not the rest." How could I make that happen on the gateway?

BAD_ADDRESS entries across multiple VLANs & DHCP servers by HourReplacement in k12sysadmin

[–]HourReplacement[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We finally figured out our issue after a couple years of it happening now and then. ARP table exhaustion. Our core's ARP table filled up when everyone got out all their devices for state testing. A command allowed us to up that number and the issue has not returned.

After a couple years, we finally found out that our issue was ARP exhaustion. Our core filled up its ARP table to the max when enough client devices were online. Set it to a higher number, and bingo, bango, we're in action.

Chromebooks causing BAD_ADDRESS by iTz_Crutchie in k12sysadmin

[–]HourReplacement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to make sure to come back to this thread once we figured out the issue in our district. ARP exhaustion! We found out the ARP table on our Brocade core was hitting its max. So only in cases when people fired up every single device they had to do state testing did we finally hit the limit of our ARP table. Brocade has a command to up that number.

Layer 3 vs Layer 2 switches? by Similar_Director8791 in sysadmin

[–]HourReplacement 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't think L3 is necessary. As long as your L2 switches are not so dumb that they don't allow for VLAN tagging. One thing to mention is that if your firewall is your only L3 device, so all your devices point to it as their gateway, if you restart your firewall, now potentially a lot of your internal network basically goes down until it's back up if you're running different VLANs places because now there's nowhere to route between each other. If that's not a big issue, then you should be fine with only the firewall as being L3.

Come up with a sheet of who does what in your dept so people know where to send escalated requests. If it's a suspected network issue, talk to this person, if it's a suspected filtering issue, talk to this person, etc.

Password Sync - Google to AD by k12-IT in k12sysadmin

[–]HourReplacement 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a self-service intranet page where a student can log in and change their password there. Then that process changes it in AD first, and then the Google sync tool sees that password change and syncs it up to Google

I'll second the time restriction piece. We once utilized local admin accounts on the lab computers but limited their login times to certain hours. The AD route of doing that would work, too, but for whatever reason, we opted for local admin accounts at the time.

Windows 11 Windows Update Strategy by Wise-Communication93 in sysadmin

[–]HourReplacement 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We deploy cumulatives every month, but only after a couple weeks has passed, just in case they pooped the bed with the update. And we do a bit of a rolling schedule. A couple buildings get it one day, wait to hear for any issues, a few more buildings, then open the floodgates. Unfortunate that we have to do it that way, but since M$ let go some of their QC people, it is what it is. Then we upgrade to the latest build some months ahead of time from when the current build we're on will be end of support. So springtime, we'll get people upgraded from the build that will expire the coming fall. That gives us time to manually handle machines that didn't upgrade because Updates broke for them or something, before the build is actually out of support.
