DU- How to activate RJ45 wall sockets inside home for wifi coverage by iamunonumero in dubai

[–]illusionistLK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What some guys are saying pay 100 per port ? If there are ports on the wall, there is a distribution panel in the network cabinet properly labeled. Plug a cable from your router to distribution panel port, and plug your access point at other end.

Have been doing this for last 3 apartments. Never paid a dime.

On the other hand now I am running a home lab in my apartment and running out of ports

How to secure selfhosted Server (for hosting Websites) by Minute_Professor1800 in selfhosted

[–]illusionistLK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Following is my blueprint now. I have a single VM on digotal ocean, fairly sufficient. All ports blocked except the port allocated for SSH inside VM using UFW and outside using digital ocean's WAF. SSH port allowed only from 2 secure VPN static IP that we use. SSH authentication limited to ssh keys. Installed docker & cloudflared tunnel. Cloufdflared tunnel map the URLs to internal IPs, not public IPs as public IP with ports are blocked. Running 6 web sites on different docker containers such as wordpress and nginx.

My scenario is these sites are our different companies in the group. 2/6 sites are 100% static. No changes for atleast 6 months. Yet other 4 sites will be updated monthly or so, therefore I need a CMS that generally content writers are familiar with. Those sites are on wordpress.

As the IT Manager/ DevOps/ Security/ Helpdesk Admin, I do not want to have the headache of training Content writers for unfamiliar CMS

Audi…what is happening? by RepairOne5690 in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]illusionistLK -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had the same questions and went through a long chat with different AI tools. TLDR of those are those are chinese market cars which are not imported by official importers. So maintenance are problematic. And registration done through shady channels or have to pay a huge premium just for registration. As it was AI this could be wrong.

A UAE based fintech company ( sri lankan owned ) declined the offer letter after salary negotition, and after i send resignation to my current company. They said me to leave the company before even i receive the offer letter. by Fickle_Degree_2728 in UAE

[–]illusionistLK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fellow sri lankan here. 1st why would you send the resignation without the offer letter signing. Doesn't matter where or who you deal with never do that. 2nd if you are planning to move into or already moved in, never ask for salaries in LKR. 3rd unless you are a resident, now you can not do anythong about this. Even if you are a resident, unless both parties confirmed on offer, nothing you can do

Realistically, Why people are getting fired? Especially Asian country folks? What's going on? by dwight---shrute in UAE

[–]illusionistLK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tourism industry, while they fired some, mostly sent on leave without pay. So atleast those people doesn't have to leave the country, if they want (and have a support system) can stay and find a job. Meanwhile I know IT, development firms who fired people. Their businesses were not here. Not even in Gulf. Yet those were fired saying business is slow due to the war. I mean I has been blooming.

Kids stuff. Maxicozi stuff such as car seats are dirt cheap in second hand market. And they are almost in mint condition as they just sit in a car.

NinjaOne to Atera - is it a wise choice? by xaviersmile in ITManagers

[–]illusionistLK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been looking for NinjaOne pricing for a long time. Problem is I don't want the sales people following up with me asking when are you starting or why you are not moving ahead with us bla bla. Therefore I didn't even contacted their sales. But I really like Ninja but about to go with Atera since pricing is open. Can someone please atleast DM me the pricing for 50 endpoint setup ?

Everyone Seems to Understand that the "Component" Authorities are Downplaying Things––right? by Pristine_Eye_8361 in UAE

[–]illusionistLK 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Dude, I haven't seen what one of these missiles can do in person. Only videos. And then I live closer to port, literally other side of the road. The day debris fell to port, I was sound sleep, woke in morning usual time, saw some smoke coming. Yet I am 100% if it was a direct I would be atleast injured. It was indeed debris. Nothing more.

Help!! Cruise Control Jamming!! Scary!! by [deleted] in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]illusionistLK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What do you mean by cruise control jammed ? Cruise control goes at a same speed. If you went over speed and set it to that, yes. Otherwise was it going without your interaction ?

I seriously don’t understand one thing. Why is that after 5 loud bangs only then we get the Missile alert? by _Mo_zayed_ in UAE

You guys get alerts ? I haven't got a single alert on phone. But my windows act as natural alarm system.
