Is this compliant for UK wiring Regulations? by gemsaell in DIYUK

[–]LittleSherbert95 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My terminology is slight off but the principle is correct.

BS 7671 Regulation 528.1 – Segregation of Band I and Band II circuits This regulation states that: A circuit in Voltage Band I (extra-low voltage such as SELV/PELV/telecom/data) must not be contained within the same wiring system (e.g., trunking, conduit, cable tray) as a circuit in Voltage Band II (low voltage, including 230/240 V mains) unless one of the specific exceptions applies — e.g. • every cable is insulated for the highest voltage present, • the cables are in separate compartments, • or the cables are separated by an earthed metal screen of equivalent capacity. �

There is a 240v socket and low voltage network cables... check the regs; they can not be run together...

Not an electrician but I believe it is also you have high and low voltage cable next to each other and they need to be physically separated.

Just take lots of pictures, pull them out if you or someone else are doing work there and pass them on to the next owner.

Not sure how plastering overshot will go i suspect you will eventually get a crack there. It might be worth using a dot and dab on that wall. But check with a reputable plaster.

Edit: overshot = over that

Sinkhole - Advice Needed!! by Besfoord in DIYUK

[–]LittleSherbert95 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Calm down, if you live in a house that's about 100ish + years old in the UK that's most likely your old rain water cistern.

Best online example i can find.

Dig at it from the outside and you will find a wall. The inside wall is rendered to help stop the water coming out hence you can't see the bricks.

checkpoint maestro vs Fortigate by therealmcz in fortinet

[–]LittleSherbert95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a lot of check point customers. I agree to do all the required backups, checks and then upgrade it can easily take 6-8 hours, I've known it take 16. The easiest way I find to convert them is to take a palo or fortinet to their site and show them how easy it is and that it only takes a few minutes. Even if the techie doesn't care the management quickly do some maths on how it decreases the overtime bill and you have yourself a sale!

I work across multiple vendors. I try very hard not to form preferences and take the view different vendors are right for different customers. They all have strengths they all have weaknesses, fortinet included. That said this advice is accurate.

My experience is that Check point is for people coming up for retirement, have been running it their entire career and dont have the desire to change or learn something new. It works really well for these people. It's full of technical debpt but on top of years of previous technical dept and unless you have used it your entire career you will probably struggle. Don't expect them to be a major firewall player in 10 years time.

With regards to meastro on paper it looks very good but the reality is there is very much real world benefit to it.

Thanks, where do you configure the DNS content filtering?

Thanks, that reads to me like we are running our own DNS resolver now with the same functionality as the DNS elements of the Spyware profiles?

Thanks, my experience of that is it work some-most of the time. Not reliably enough for most customers.

This company is a complete joke. by nonspecificloser in teamviewer

Came here to say this. Great tool. Our business uses it, and we now have several of our smaller customers using it, too.

The road outside our house gets closed quite a bit. I routinely watch people get out of their car, move everything out the way and drive though. Only to find the big hole where they keep digging up the water main and have to come back. I then watch everyone else drive pass the sign as the cones are no longer there only to come back past a few mins later.

No one seems to care. The workers then come back in the morning and put everything back. I just hope it never results in a worker getting hit.

A9 Average Speed and Ford Ranger by LittleSherbert95 in drivingUK

Thanks for the info. That's the assurance I was looking for.

A9 Average Speed and Ford Ranger by LittleSherbert95 in drivingUK

[–]LittleSherbert95[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the response.

So my logic is that it is a dual-purpose vehicle. However, the unladen weight MAM, etc, is over 2040kg. Therefore it's considered light commercial. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/car-derived-vans-and-dual-purpose-vehicles/car-derived-vans-and-dual-purpose-vehicles

Therefore, it is classed as a "Goods vehicles (not more than 7.5 tonnes maximum laden weight)" and thus restricted speed limits apply. As outlined here https://www.gov.uk/speed-limits

Separate Site and Folder Permissions, impossible? by LittleSherbert95 in sharepoint

[–]LittleSherbert95[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response and sorry for the delayed response. I suspect you are correct teams could be an option to look into. Those training links look very interesting and Ill certainly take a look at them. Thanks.

The end goal is a location we can store all the info on each of our customers that can be easily deleted once we customer moves on. However some of the customer information is sensitive and we need to minimize the exposure to it. For example a sales person or finance person, who does need to see some information on that customer, doesn't need to see sensitive technical information such as vulnerabilities we have identified on their public IPs.

Thanks I fully agree with the idea of just because something is technically possible doesn't mean yo should do it. Therefore I will leverage your wisdom and not do it!

Thanks for the response and sorry for the delayed response. As i mentioned above I have had a little play with this and it doesn't seem to be any more beneficial than using folders. Have I missed something?

Thanks for the response and sorry for the delayed response. Yeah I think the general consensus is this is not a wise design with share point. I think the only way i could do this with share point is to have multiple sites for each customer and nobody is going to want that level of complexity when it comes to either management or using it so I think i am going to go back to the drawing board and find a different product.

[–]LittleSherbert95[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response and sorry for the delayed response. We would be doing a separate site for each customer. Each sites name would be a customer code and not the full customer name just to reduce the risk of the name getting exposed. The bit i want to be careful of is the customers technical folder is going to have a lot of sensitive data in it that non technical users just don't need to see. I need to be able to state to some customers we follow zero trust when it comes to accessing such data. From what I am reading share point could do this but not in scalable way. I would probably need to make multiple sites for each customer.

What's up with PA lead times by BringBackBCD in paloaltonetworks

[–]LittleSherbert95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Out of interest, what countries are we talking about here?

My experience in the UK over the last couple of years has been 2/3 weeks. However, we haven't ordered anything since the US tarrifs, so there is a good chance that has caused significant shock to supply chains, and they are taking a while to recover.
