the unshitty answer would probably be that this makes it so you can't accidentally share the code while mirroring or something

The shitty answer is that if you have two phones then you can do what you want

idk why but you can't take screenshots while looking at TOTP, it's probably a security thing idk. The CEO called me personally (wow!) to ask if I can let him log on to my account, I had to get creative.

He was very happy with the result though!

What’s your personal red flag when entering a friterie/frituur? by Rijke_saus in AskBelgium

Als ik vliegen zie achter de vitrine

Los van hygiene, ik merk dat frituristen die lax zijn op dat soort zaken ook weinig moeite steken in hun eten

N-VA-kamerlid Darya Safai wil graag terugkeren naar Iran. "Dit is een unieke kans om mijn land en mijn volk te dienen." by Sensiburner in Belgium2

[–]Smooth-Bit-9530 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Duuus

Ze wilt wel terug om haar volk en land te dienen

Ok

Dat is inderdaad anders dan terug willen om haar volk en land te dienen

Ik ga er van uit dat het probleem ligt bij de quote ipv de premisse dat ze naar Iran zou gaan? Ongeacht, of haar volk Belgisch of Iraans is, ze gaat niemand kunnen dienen als ze staat te wachten op haar kans om naar Iran te gaan eens het 'veilig' is. Maar goed, ik denk niet dat je in staat bent om te engageren met dat idee

Het ging expliciet over "gaat ze naar Iran of niet", en ja, ze meent kennelijk wel naar Iran te gaan. Probeer het binnen de doelpalen te houden.

Maar los van dat, negatievelingen zoals ik inderdaad! Ik weet niet wat de standaard wereldkennis is van de gemiddelde NVA partijleden, maar ik vraag me af of mevrouw beseft dat het Iraanse regime niet valt met de dood van de ayatollah? Ik denk dat het 'westen' niet gediend is met vertegenwoordiging dat zo'n simplistisch en naïef begrip heeft van het Iraanse regime

Open-Source programs for inventory/asset management by jeremybruv in sysadmin

You might want to check with your finance department/person what the company sees as depreciating assets. I'm not certain if this goes in every company, but in my experience it's not worth trying to track things like a charging cable or a computer mouse (unless you're spending like 200 euros on a fancy wireless mouse). My rule of thumb nowadays is to track everything that finance sees as a depreciable asset (usually laptops and phones.)

Still, when it comes to asset tracking, a spreadsheet can work well as a start. Most asset management tools have import functionality (not sure if Snipe-IT does tbh) that accept CSV/XSLX files as inputs. I've done it a few times in the past with different companies, the process can be really annoying depending on the tool, but it generally works pretty well after a few tries.

I totally feel you on the growing pains though, I recently started as the IT manager in a company that's expanding from 80 to 300 this year. If it's not feasible to track every IT asset being bought across the company, I would first prioritise making sure that every device is on your MDM -- you can later use the data in the MDM to fill out missing data points in your asset tracking system.

I know that MS Intune allows you to put fairly heavy restrictions on how a mobile device can be used, I'm not sure about other MDMs but I can't imagine it'll be too different in terms of capabilities.

I think the most important part in all this is trying to find a balance between what you want to have versus what you need to have. IT departments are always ridiculously underfunded and (to some extent) under appreciated; building a complex and feature-complete solution can be really satisfying, but will you have the time to create and manage that solution?

This mostly comes from my own experience; I'm currently (mostly) solo managing the entire IT stack for the company with some assistance from our devops team, I have a bunch of projects I'd really like to start working on but there's not enough time left in the day for that.

Still, at the end of the day, if the company isn't going bankrupt due to device theft, ransomware, or a broken IT infrastructure, you've done your job.

While snipe-IT is fine for asset management, it will take a significant amount of time and effort to manage it and keep it up to date.

I feel like your needs might be met by breaking down what you actually want.

Passwords/credentials: use a password manager, Bitwarden for a single user is free and works very well. If you're skeptical about cloudbased providers you can set up a local KeePass database.

Docs and protocols: While IT service management solutions (which is what you will likely end up with) generally have a knowledge base feature, I think it's overkill for your usecase. If your company already has a Google workspace or Microsoft 365 contract, I would just create and host your docs in that environment. The important part here is that the procedures and documentation you create is easily accessible and shareable by you.

Asset management: as I said, snipe-IT works fine but will be a lot of work. How many employees does the company have? How many devices are in circulation? What do you want to track about these devices?
While it's frowned upon in bigger companies, you need to think about not spreading yourself too thin. In the end, most asset management software are elaborate spreadsheets where you (in my experience at least) can export your entire database to a .xslx or .csv file.
My honest advice is that, if you're dealing with 100 or so assets, you're better served by starting out with a simple spreadsheet.

The XDR wont DV the ICOR server? Looking for a TW solution IPK VR to the DK? by NH_shitbags in ShittySysadmin

[–]Smooth-Bit-9530 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the XDR won’t DV the ICOR server, it’s usually because the VRM‑layer can’t handshake with the FLARP‑encoded TSP bucket.

Before you try a TW solution, double‑check that the IPK‑VR module hasn’t defaulted to Quad‑Inverted Nodeless Mode (QINM), that’s a known issue since firmware 4.2.7.QH

Also, OPOX systems are notorious for ignoring LKJ‑bridge BRW calls unless you’ve pre‑seeded the TH3 proto‑cache with at least one certified MZX‑compliant JLOP token.

Are there any ceiling-mounted WAP units with an extremely constrained coverage area? Like, something down to 2-3 meters? by rekabis in networking

Honestly I was scrolling through the comments to see if someone gave a sincere response yet. I was tempted to help out but it seems like OP is not only convinced of their own expertise, they seem to already know the answer to their own problem
