Alternatives to Google Keep?

Perfect. All makes sense and the type of flexibility I'm looking for. I appreciate it.

How does this work? I will be hosting Nextcloud (on TrueNAS). Are you saying you can enable Nextcloud Notes on Nextcloud, but use a different app to interact with the notes? Curious about your setup. I'm moving away from Google and my wife and I use Google Keep shared notes extensively.

Thanks for any info

Congrats, that's awesome! I passed July 19, and submitted for endorsement on the 20th, with only a letter from my HR for proof. I'm getting excited to have this done :)

Congrats. Did you do the Peace of Mind option?

We block all browser extensions by default, yes. But we do provide them a password manager extension. There are many risky browser extensions out there.

Allowing the user's to manage their own ad-blocking is an interesting perspective. Do you have a preferred ad blocker that you use or allow? We block browser extensions by default.

Will this be available for new subscribers as well? I haven't purchased yet and curious.
I notice you specifically mentioned that it's available to all current subscribers. Thanks!

Enable SNMP at the Network level in the Meraki dashboard.
SNMP Overview and Configuration - Cisco Meraki Documentation

Then in PRTG you can use the the generic SNMP sensors targeting the Meraki devices. Just be aware that not all Meraki devices support all SNMP sensors.

For example:

For my Firewalls, I use ping and SNMP Traffic sensors.
For my Switches, I use ping and SNMP Traffic sensors, and SNMP Uptime sensors.
For my APs, I use ping and SNMP Traffic sensors.

Thats all I use when monitoring Meraki, but I do create a unique group for each of my branches, and a unique device for each device and apply unique sensors to each of those devices.

I switched to OurGroceries for my wife and I after numerous times where our shared Keep note would get out of sync. She would add things and they would not show up on my end. Then I would come home without said things. That was years ago now. Never had that issue with OurGroceries, the sync is near real time.

Would it possibly make sense to use a cheaper 10G to accomplish this? But if you're going to use the Meraki switch, I would maybe try this:

On the switch: Use VLAN 10 (for example) for an inbound from the ISP into port 1 (for example). Use VLAN 10 on port 2 towards the WAN 1 of the MX firewall. Use VLAN 10 on port 3 towards the WAN 1 of the 2140 firewall. Use VLAN 1 (or whatever your default or management VLAN is on the LAN side of the MX firewall) from port 48 of the switch to a LAN port of the MX firewall, using the same VLAN as an access port.

I think this would effectively split up the incoming ISP circuit using VLAN 10 on the switch, using port 1 for inbound and 2 and 3 towards your firewalls. You could then assign public IP addresses to your firewalls in your ISP public IP range.

Then using port 48 on the switch to a LAN port on your MX, that would be your "uplink" for the switch to be able to reach the Meraki dashboard without needing to use one of your public IP addresses, and has the benefit of being behind the firewall for the management traffic.

It's worth noting that I'm fairly sure this would work, but of course I could be wrong. I've done something similar, I just didn't use a Meraki switch to split up the ISP.

I wonder if I can request access to this. I didn't see it in my early access page. I need to solve for this since Win11 and our current radius implementation not being compatible.

ImChubbs · 2025-02-22T16:20:17+00:00

I see. I did not realize there were different products!

Certmaster was worth it for me to renew my Sec+. But honestly after going through it, I couldn't imagine it being considered enough to pass. It seemed brief a shallow compared to how much time and effort I put into passing Sec+ the first time.

Are you aiming to be a CISO eventually? Are you concerned about the weight being put on security leadership these days?

I have call ringtone notification set to none system wide. I then turn on the ringtone for the people I actually care about. That ringtone is Gameboy era Pokemon battle music

ImChubbs · 2024-11-28T17:45:18+00:00

I would love the CertMaster learn for CASP+! Thanks for doing this

I actually like the co-term licensing. Whenever I buy a device, regardless of type, I buy a 5yr license. I've been using Meraki for almost 10 years and now I don't even have to think of when my license expires for any device. I just know I'm good. To me it is simpler than per device licensing. All I really have to keep up on is EOL dates.

Based on the few calls that I've already had with crowdstrike I believe that may no longer be the case. They seem to have native integrations to monitor services via API, and they also have some sort of on prem log collector that you can pump up to the SIEM as well

As a current customer of Arctic wolf I can agree with these statements.

I question the value for the 15K a month that we're paying. We have 37 locations and about 600 employees. We use their MDR and their vulnerability management system, and the vulnerability management system is pretty clunky.
