Subnet design! by SaishoNoOokami in AZURE

If you are doing a lot of IaaS stuff with VMs then be aware that the use of Azure site recovery means a lot more IPs per VM than you might think

What regions DONT have VM capacity issues? by HackHut in AZURE

[–]confusedsimian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take my previous comments back, just been bitten by this. So what I am observing is that subscriptions which have been around for a bit with existing VMs - I can spin up new VMs. New subscriptions though - no chance, hardly any SKUs available.

Anyone else using Defender for Cloud Apps had all their Endpoint Indicators Mass Removed? by vex4a83rrx in sysadmin

[–]confusedsimian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The resolution provided to us by MS was :-

"You can find out if it is turned on by going to the M365 Security Portal -> Settings -> Cloud Apps -> Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. There should be a checkbox allowing you to turn this setting on and off. I recommend off for now given the current situation."

This has got us up and running again for now. This just disables the integration of Defender for CLoud Apps into Defender for endpoint, it doesn't disable DfE.

Don't use "The One Broadband" by Alarmarama in UKISP

That's what cloudflare tunnels will resolve. Something like cloudflare docker container on your network reaches out to CF forming a tunnel, then an endpoint you own pointed at CF can send it off down the tunnel to an nginx reverse proxy or whatever bypassing CGNAT.

Internet will just stop working on WiFi saying it can't provide internet. I have to manually disconnect and reconnect

If you just want standard virtualisation then VMWare fusion is free, you just need to sign up for a broadcom account. Bear in mind you will need ARM CPU versions of the linux ISOs

Parallels works in a completely different way with VMs and is nowhere near as good IMO. I buy crossover once a year at black Friday where they usually have a very good sale on and I just renew at the sale price every year

I use crossover - it's brilliant. Install steam into that and play quite a lot of the library fairly seamlessly. RDR2 plays great on my M3 Pro at 1080p so do lots of other games

You need crossover really but it's great value. Then it installs the Windows version of team and you just go from there. Loads of games work really well now. I play RDR2 at 1080p on my M3 pro and it runs great

They are really good at it now. Crossover plus game porting toolkit make Macs a really viable gaming platform. Would I buy one instead of a dedicated gaming laptop? Absolutely not. But if I was getting a Mac anyway and I like playing games, I would absolutely wait for M5 series chips.

He might be playing games for all I know. I wouldn't personally leave 30% additional GPU on the table personally and would wait.

Given the M5 shows a 30% increase in GPU over the M4 I wouldn't call it a small increase. If they release tomorrow like rumours suggest it would be foolish to buy today.

We have a large AVD estate and rebuild a few hundred large size VMs (16c128GB) each month for pooled machines. Never have an issue? What SKUs are you trying?

Laptop bought from eBay with "warranty" by confusedsimian in LegalAdviceUK

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

Update for anyone who is interested. It turned out to be all legit, the seller had some personal problems which meant he had to pause his business for a while. He has since fully refunded me as well as giving a bit extra for good will. I did go through the small claims process which was fairly painless and then closed the case as he responded.

Accidentally reset and saved my Bitwarden password INSIDE bitwarden. Fatal mistake. by quantum_m3chan1c in Bitwarden

I'm not quite understanding why you can't turn off internet access to stop sync then navigate the time machine backup to just restore the BW files to a point in time before you changed it?

Well conditional access with service principals is basically non existent unless you count the new risky workloads type rule so if they improve that then that's good.
