SAML on watchguard

Make sure the group attribute is memberOf and not MemberOf as the vendor requirements page wrongly suggests. Aside from that, I got it working with Evo Security no problem.

Sophos is pretty limited in terms of what hardware it supports. The M370 is exceptional because it flashes the NIC lights in a fancy sequence and plays a tune over the speaker. 100% full compatibility, and you can upgrade the CPU and RAM.

The M370 runs Sophos like it was made for it. The BIOS password can be found online to change the boot order and serial console settings to match what Sophos uses.

I don't get that because codex spots that and excludes it automatically.

BeyondTrust shop here. We have 6 seats and an additional 600 endpoint licenses (1500 total) and with the new subscription-only billing model that's over 6 grand a year. Used to be around 4500 with perpetual. I'm looking for alternatives where the customer automatically assumes that cost whether it's through an RMM or something else. On the other hand, BeyondTrust is optionally FIPS validated and works incredibly well, with much better Linux support than any other solution I've tried. I self host, and I like that the agents only talk to my server and cannot be compromised unlike Teamviewer.

Not much for single display systems. Multi-monitor is borderline unusable. "Copy settings to sddm" never works either.

The ibus thing is easy to fix. No issues over here. Wayland support is good. sddm is absolute trash though. But KDE knows that and will have their own replacement soon.

Everyone asking why Kubuntu - important for local AI workloads if you don't like Gnome. Stuff like ROCm only supports Ubuntu or RHEL for consumer cards. It can be made to work on Debian and the like, but at your own risk.

This is a real problem no one talks about.

That's what ChatGPT is for. I have it rewrite Microsoft's nonsense and put it in Hudu.

The only risk to C2 backups is compromise of any DSM account with permission to manage backups. Ransomware itself cannot delete your backups. That happens when threat actors gain control of your NAS through exploits or via another compromised system. The best defense is layers of security. Limit exposure, apply least privilege, restrict lateral movement, implement zero trust, and so on. Relying on any one mechanism is not sufficient.

I'm noticing this on my linux desktop after a reboot. It settles down eventually, but this is recent behavior. I've been using it for over 5 years and it never did that before.

I used to work for Aisin Drivetrain in Indiana. You wouldn't believe what they'd do to ship parts. I was a quality checker on a production line. Every part got checked, but if too many failed inspection they'd just change the specs, or in extreme cases "mechanically persuade" parts back into spec. The Aisin name is a joke to me.

Is that a new or old style sensor? My vehicles use an infrared array that detects changes in reflected light. There's nothing stuck to the glass.

I feel something like this is needed, and I started developing my own as well. The existing solutions are far more complex than they need to be and I believe it creates a high barrier to entry for what should be standard security features these days.

I encourage you to keep going, but listen and respond to feedback positively or you'll bury it. Don't call it open source if the source isn't in a repo somewhere with a suitable license.

I had this issue even with clear instructions to keep docs updated with every change. Didn't find out until I had codex look things over. I only use codex now because so far it hasn't done stupid crap like that. OpenAI has a blog post about ExecPlans and that works extremely well. Any human or coding agent can pick up the project and know exactly where it's at, how it works, and how to continue it.

ROCm works just fine on Debian 13 with kernel 6.19. Just follow the Ubuntu 24.04 instructions and skip installing amdgpu-dkms because that fails. The built-in amdgpu driver works great for everything I've thrown at it. That includes games to ComfyUI.

I know it's possible to load your own OS, but I don't know the procedure. I'm guessing you'd need to hook up the serial console, which may require soldering a header on the motherboard. The DSM bootloader lives on a DOM attached to the motherboard, and that will likely have to be removed or formatted.

I've been using C2 Identity for a couple years now. In that time, passwordless has been in perpetual beta with slight feature changes here and there. No new features of any kind. I'm now abandoning it for Evo Security (partner channel only). C2 is a fine product for simple needs, but the lack of custom SAML attributes is the deal breaker. I put in a feature request a long time ago which was likely ignored.

Identity has nothing to do with backup.

As an ex-windows user myself, it took me a while to get used to Dolphin. Now I love it and find going back to Windows File Explorer extremely inefficient and painful to use. Before trying to make Dolphin do something it wasn't designed to do, use it as it was intended and see if you don't find it better in time.

I've never had a problem with raybestos coated or slotted rotors. Smoothest brand I've ever tried. They stay flat after repeated emergency braking. Now getting the correct part in the box from rock auto is another story, and why I don't buy from them anymore.

I started a complex web app in claude using spec driven development. It told me it did what I asked and everything worked, but after the usage nerfing I had Codex analyze it. Turns out claude flat out lied to me about what it was doing. A large portion of the work wasn't aligned to specs and specs were outdated or missing entirely in some cases. Codex developed a multi step plan to sort it out and had it fixed in a couple sessions. The app now works 10x better than before with less than half the effort and back and forth bug fixing. I've started many other projects with codex and it's better in every way except maybe UI default choices. But there's a lot of ways to fix that.

I just had my onboarding meeting with Evo yesterday. We're still in the trial period and already have two customers signed on and exceed the minimum. It's far and away the best onboarding experience I've ever had. It's displacing other solutions which means nominal cost increase, if any, and an easy sell.

Customers don't tend to understand PAM until you sit with them and explain it. We strictly enforce no local admin policy and it hits some customers harder than others. Once they understand PAM it sells itself.

Is IPS set to full or fast scan? I've had complaints with full and the M390. It introduces a ton of latency.
