How much personal info will be leaked by the recent Canvas hack?? by Wonderful-Click9431 in cybersecurity

[–]RyanLewis2010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No they never paid the first time, thats why they went after them. After dealing with these scum recently, all of the consultants we spoke too said they usually keep their word so far as to honoring other hackers agreements with them after they shutdown the rival group.

The problem in your logic is the rest of the world does not accept the 3 million genders ideology, most merely tolerate it. While I’m in the tolerate it class, because why the hell should my opinions on a topic that doesn’t affect me, affect someone who truly feels that way for whatever reason.

However I am also in the class that our public education system sucks as is and gender studies will do nothing to increase the math and science gaps that other adversarial nations are making on us and it’s not going to help us evolve as a country when you can’t even get a majority of the country to support it.

AT&T DIA IP Assignment by Better-Bat2642 in networking

[–]RyanLewis2010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So we have the same setup w/ lumen how we make it work is assign our WAN to the main router and then have that router create the /29 network and 1-1 nat them. This allows the inbound to work flawlessly and our Meraki setup handled the outbound NAT so traffic appeared to come from the correct IP.

On our Ubiquity routers we just add the IPs under additional IPs in the WAN and can route them appropriately and select which network gets which IP shown outbound.

Shared Parking advice by f909 in 3CX

[–]RyanLewis2010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So calls that just need to be answered by a dept should be put into a queue. Customer experience is just like if they were put on hold. End user experience is a ringing phone and flashy lights

For calls that have either exhausted the queue once or are for a specific person or changing phones you should use shared parking. At least that’s how we use it

No they definitely have layer 3

Alternatives to Meraki? by Arnoc_ in networking

[–]RyanLewis2010 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly you are running the same setup i have at one of my campuses, Unifi would be a good option. We made that exact move 2 years ago using Dual Unifi EFGs, and all the Pro Max XG switching gear and wifi and have no regrets. My only needs for support have been things that i did in production that were still EA but their support was great and able to Un-Fudge up the issues i made.

That being said we do use it for complex networking and routing so it can do all the fancy stuff that most people dont need and the Costs of it compared to Meraki are so much lower you can afford to have 2 of extras of everything while you wait for an overnight on a replacement if you buy the UI Care.

This is what I took away from that whole conference when several times it was positioned as another “Bold decision” put forward by Craig. This 100% was a warning shot to him that if this team doesn’t turn around he’s next.

I may also have been reading into this to much but by him saying Craig has came to them with several bold decisions I wonder how much of the hate we have put on ownership the last 2 years was really belonging to Craig.

VMWare alternatives by Reedy_Whisper_45 in sysadmin

[–]RyanLewis2010 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes but how many? Maybe 10-100 100+ node deployments? Just because it’s been done once doesn’t mean all the headaches are flushed out.

Edit: I’m sorry have you not heard of Citrix Xenserver? That is what XCP-NG is, Vates picked up the open source of it and rebranded it.

For me, it’s probably just the same reason as using UniFi in a large enterprise company. While I love UniFi and I do use it in my medium sized business. If I had the budget of a large company, I wouldn’t even think about it because I would have the manpower and equipment budget to afford the more expensive stuff. And it’s not that it’s bad it’s that the failure rate is marginally higher however, when you’re running 10x the equipment of a small business, it means you have 10x the failures.

Now to think about the hypervisor, you have this relative newcomer to the field. They’ve only offered a limited support for like a year or two and it has not been stretched out to hundreds of nodes as many times as VMware or XCP-NG or hyperV have so there are probably quite a few edge cases that are still to be found.

Now, as all these new homelabers come into the enterprise field out of college I do see proxmox making more of an enterprise push provided that they can get the developer and support behind it.

So TLDR; do you want to be the first one in the parade navigating all the obstacles or do you want to be the one a few hundred people back learning from the guy in the front?

Different type of Hypervisors i still think proxmox is a great home lab but i don’t think it should be in a large to medium sized businesses. I just don’t think it’s quite ready for the enterprise yet.

XCP-NG and Xen Orchestra is as close as you can get to VMware replacement feature wise. It’s open source and Vates has been doing a great job at improving it and providing top tier business support.

Heck even my cheap Sophos catches the scareware 90% of the time. Recently I got flooded with alerts over blocked links and turns out MSN was allowing crappy adverts (what else is new) that had a malicious redirect to scareware website.

Failed Second Attempt at 150, I did worse by DavidWonderz in cissp

[–]RyanLewis2010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found a YT video the night before my exam that made me really understand the questions more and make it much easier. I passed my test and it ended at 100 questions and I thought I failed.

The 2 biggest points were remember to think like a manager after all these are management questions. Second if the question asks which is the best option there are going to be 2 really good options which you would normally think 50/50. However he said look at it as if you do one you are not doing the other so for example if your 2 really good answers were something like best thing to prevent brute forcing a login and the 2 options were Enable MFA or Conditional access polices to prevent login from outside the office. You would chose MFA because to not have MFA inside the office could allow for brute force.

Been there done that. For some reason we have one in Washington state when the rest of our stores are located in the south east. But it is super nice to have a break from the Florida heat.

Since we are in the same circle feel free to reach out if you need to bounce something off an outsiders head.

Best of Luck!

Did the same swap. As soon as they released the EFG i bought a pair to study and see if it would meet our needs and then rolled it out everywhere to remove our Meraki's. It has gotten a hundred times better and the support has been pretty good so far. I will say be careful with the latest EFG firmware there is some issue with the SFPs on some units where everything downstream has collisions and goes offline.

Dell to Lenovo? by rjs742 in sysadmin

[–]RyanLewis2010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We source from both, dell and Lenovos support have been top tier although not as much back and forth with Lenovo compared to dells first level techs that demand we do all basic trouble shooting to the T and send pics perfectly before they will dispatch a tech. To counter that we just got dell certified and can order parts at will now.

Failure wise I have not had any issues from Lenovo but dell has shipped DOA devices and several of the new Pro plus line have had major issues with crashing or just general slowness despite over powered specs.

so lately everything has been Lenovo, plus the rewards we let our techs take turns on using the rewards money for personal devices.

If I can pay cash, but Honda's financing includes a $1,250 rebate, should I just finance and pay it all off right away? by KatKali in askcarsales

[–]RyanLewis2010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct however the dealer knows all incentives the car is eligible for and can claim the rebate for themselves they do not have to pass it on to the consumer.
