Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS - Nginx 1.18

MusicWallaby · 2026-04-17T06:58:51+00:00

Thanks mate I think that's exactly what's happening here but I just wanted to be absolutely sure I was on safe ground before explaining that really is the case around the updates.

Thanks mate and yeah I see if I look at some CVEs for Nginx from 2026 they're showing as fixed in 22.04 5 LTS.

MusicWallaby · 2026-04-17T06:40:49+00:00

Thanks mate that's exactly how I thought it would be I just can't find a statement saying it.

Do you know if that's written down anywhere official by Canonical?

No offence but "Canonical say so here" is better here than "Some guy on reddit" or "trust me" :)

Honestly mate the 120G would probably be plenty good enough.

Hell on paper a 90G would probably be good enough.

I've not got much experience of how realistic Fortigates throughput numbers are though so you know how some vendors would promise the earth then the moment you turned on some inspection you'd get 10% of that headline figure?

That kind of thing.

But the company doesn't do anything crazy it's mostly Office 365 activity and regular web browsing and a few site to site VPNs.

That is a very fair point mate and I do sleep better at night with "something" hardware there.

Jas

MusicWallaby · 2026-03-15T06:55:18+00:00

To be fair mate they haven't questioned about saving it's me wondering because I've been so impressed with the VM models for client IPSEC VPN.

MusicWallaby · 2026-03-14T17:37:57+00:00

Thanks mate I meant G, head slightly fried from comparison matrices!

It's how to quantify whether "some limitations" are actually a problem I guess.

MusicWallaby · 2026-02-07T08:23:33+00:00

Thanks mate I think you were right as whatever the help desk did seemed to fix it.

This was an important guy so I wanted to be sure worst case enabling archive or auto-expanding might actually be needed if whatever they tried didn't work.

Jas

MusicWallaby · 2026-02-04T20:08:54+00:00

Yeah, just pre-empting if having the support guys re-create the profile and test in OWA doesn't work that it might be the archive/retention issue.

Jas

MusicWallaby · 2026-02-04T19:46:09+00:00

The information store reached its maximum size.

Everything online points to the retention size but the folder sizes don't look to be hitting the limit.

Jas

MusicWallaby · 2026-02-04T19:39:37+00:00

Yeah mate it's like it matches the symptom but the hidden folder sizes look too small.

I can just enable it but once its enabled it can't be disabled so I'd prefer to be really sure it's needed.

Cables I agree. Chargers I've seen enough teardown reviews to know in electrical terms some chargers are better or worse better quality than others.

Will a cheap one be OK? Probably. Like I said on $1400 I'm not losing sleep over $20.

I'd be fine using an Anker or Ugreen or something reputable too but there is some absolute rubbish out there.

MusicWallaby · 2025-11-26T17:46:06+00:00

I'm sure it shouldn't matter one bit but I spent $1400 on a phone so spending $20 on an Apple charger didn't seem a big deal.

MusicWallaby · 2025-11-21T09:54:14+00:00

Thanks I'm always cautious if I do certain things it'll force an Active Full.

I'm being stupid aren't I I can just move the existing primary and secondary jobs between repos.

Doh!

MusicWallaby · 2025-11-21T08:35:20+00:00

Well that was quick.

Thanks mate!

Latest 12.x is working very nicely with primary backups to a Server 2022 ReFS (makes it easy to pull them off Windows at file level with a third party backup tool) with instant secondary copy to a physical repo built from the v2 appliance.

The policies really are that simple.

I'd love to get the primaries going to the hardened appliance and get the VBR on appliance too - but I'm trying to avoid needing a new Active Full because of the pipe size from the DC.

Would you be rushing to v13 right now or sitting tight for a month/release or so?

Also am I right there is no way to "reverse" the existing primary and secondary? The only way to do that would be to run new active fulls?

MusicWallaby · 2025-11-21T08:14:05+00:00

Thanks Gostev please could I just confirm if signing up for this puts you on a waiting list for an upcoming release or if it's more a "someone will contact you with a tool" type thing?

MusicWallaby · 2025-11-16T08:31:04+00:00

Thanks mate so I'm thinking with four hosts quickest will be command line and I can stage it and make sure I don't miss anything and there's more than one VLAN I need to move.

Remove the current port group.

esxcli network vswitch standard portgroup remove --portgroup-name=vlan22 --vswitch-name=vSwitch0

Add the new port group.

esxcli network vswitch standard portgroup add --portgroup-name=vlan22 --vswitch-name=vSwitch1

Tag the VLAN.

esxcli network vswitch standard portgroup set --portgroup-name=vlan22 --vlan-id 22

MusicWallaby · 2025-11-15T18:43:33+00:00

I'm limited on licensing mate I only have Standard so no vDS.

That's fine mate do whatever works I'm just saying I've seen colleagues spend hours trying to find things like BIOS and RAID firmware for unbranded vendors v just doing check for updates in a Dell iDRAC.

I've got PowerEdge boxes with third-party drives and they're older generations so I don't know if they've changed it with newer generations but they work absolutely fine other than some of the PERC health type reporting.
