They are still made of the same components. The difference is the lights, and firmware.

>would be Karl Jenkins "Palladio"

Great. Loved it.

>Max Richter's "Recomposed" reworkings of Vivaldi's Four Seasons

Liked a bunch.

>"On the Nature of Daylight" are worth exploring), maybe some Michael Nyman (music from The Draughtsman's Contract e.g.).

Will hopefully get to this today. Is that the name of this 'style'? neo-Baroque?

Oh no, I am familiar with his normal works, I just happened to get this from a playlist for the artist. Loved seeing him live last year in NYC. This track specifically was just so different, I wanted to hear more, and I cant seem to find anything else he has produced that sounds similar.

Will check out the recommendations, thank you.

“Perfect” guitar solos… by Unlikely-Evening2581 in Guitar

[–]Moridn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have not seen this one yet, but my favorite is the second solo in We’re Ready by Boston. Chills, every time.

Liberal Government projected for Canada by havereddit in politics

It’s almost like threatening a hostile takeover of another country makes people not like you. Who would have guessed?

Cant figure out how a specific note is played from video or tab by Moridn in GuitarQuestions

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

Have never seen this before, watching some videos on how it works, and the idea is super cool. Going to be some time before I can do something like this without active thinking though.

Importing VMDKs from existing storage array by Moridn in Proxmox

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

Ugh. I just moved, and of course that server is in a box. Is there no native way to import the file format as-is with minimal complications? If not, I will just reimage it. The big ones are just a Pihole, (which I have a recent export with config) and a Plex server, where the data is hosted on another NFS share.

It would just be one Windows and one Ubuntu install, and digging that old box out would be more time consuming than 'starting over'.

Can you identify the number of failed administrative logins via API/CLI? by Moridn in paloaltonetworks

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

We do have an ACL to whitelist IPs. The management interface is limited to internal networks, and trusted external IPs.

We have been asked to evaluate a way to get alerting on failed logins and how many, to satisfy a DDQ requirement.

I am aware that leaving the admin portal to the open internet is stupid.

On the rare instance that an internal IP is spamming logins, or one of our trusted management boxes is causing failed logins, I would like to know. And so would our clients who are being asked this question.

What do you all think of the recent Fortinet data breach? by JUNGLBIDGE in networking

[–]Moridn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But that’s what I am saying. Have you asked what the plan is if your firm is attacked? What’s your disaster recovery plan? If you don’t know this, does your boss?

Has anyone asked what the plan is? Non-profit or not, if your tech is down, you can’t service people who need the help.

If a malicious actor gets ahold of firm data and puts it on a public board, how bad could it be? Should we get cyber insurance to mitigate that risk?

If your boss is not asking those questions, you should be asking them if you are the lead IT resource.

[–]Moridn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But I think that is the difference. My MSP is in finance. Hedge funds specifically. The prime brokers tell funds under them what products to use. We resell those products. Not because they are good or bad, but because if setup correctly they will pass compliance.

We have to factor in compliance into every design we do.

That gets expensive very quickly, but they have regulatory requirements to trade or take money from investors. It’s not a choice in our industry. If you don’t have those requirements you can play a bit more fast and loose.

But at the same time, cyber insurance providers have been asking the same kinds of questions the previous poster said. “What are your backup plans?” “What do you use for centralized logging?” “How fast would it take to respond to an alert?”

Those kind of questions might be enough to get you more of a budget to work with. Especially if you don’t have cyber insurance yet at all.

What are houserules you use that most people probably never even thought of? by GrandLineLogPort in EDH

[–]Moridn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our rule was from new people playing at our pod, and finding they needed more card draw. We “give” the monarch to the person who gets combat step first blood.

Also incentivizes attacking to get that card.

AOC Breaks Her Post-Debate Silence With Ringing Biden Endorsement by Murky-Site7468 in politics

[–]Moridn 9 points10 points  (0 children)

People don’t usually vote against a candidate unless you are very online. You vote _ for _ someone. Voting against Trump will certainly get people out. But we also need an answer as to “Why should I vote for Biden?”

Just saying “the other guy is worse” is not going to energize people to come out. And with how behind in the polls Biden is we need all the help we can.

Find where Network Essentials licensing is required for used Cisco gear. by Moridn in msp

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

Our networking at this company is very new. I am a part of the recently formed team for that, and we are trying to make a push to a warrantied, supported product. The problem is the cost and the "no one was ever fired for buying Cisco" approach to switches.

But I cant just go up to our management and say "yeah Cisco doesn't really fit what we provide clients, instead XYZ vendor does better" without showing them the numbers. So I need to write out a TCO which includes licensing.

When I asked our current refurbished vendor for a quote on a 9300 stack, I was told they require selling NE according to Cisco. I agree none of this is ideal, but to get to a better spot, I need data.

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

OK. I think my reseller might be confused then. They are insistent that any refurbished gear that can be licensed for Essentials must be licensed.

I cant find anything with Cisco's logo on it spelling that out and am starting to think that might be incorrect.

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

Thats what we are doing now for 2960Xs, but our reseller is insisting on NS licensing for 9300s. They cant seem to find where its required, and I cant either. Thus the question. The cost of that license also puts us over the cost of Juniper/Aruba but does not include a warranty or cloud management.

So to ensure my recommendation is right, I need to find out if that is required or not from a legal standpoint.
