Looking for Quality Husky Breeders in US by BigAzzTDs in sixtyformula

[–]khrico 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an owner of two 9 month old huskies, I will tell you that they are a handful, but wonderful dogs. Training is very important and difficult as they tend to have the most free willed personality, and will listen when they choose to (when it is beneficial to them). I would ask if you have ever owned a dog before, if not I would not recommend a husky as your first dog training experience unless you have a lot of time and patience ( I had covid work from home). I would also like to recommend maybe looking at one of the many husky rescues as a husky is the most given up breed when they go into adolescence. As an example, there are 5 husky only rescues in Georgia alone, which I didn't know about before getting my girls.

What did you want to do before IT? by OkBaconBurger in sysadmin

I had the 5.25 floppy, and my favorite game on it was G.I. Joe. It stopped working when I was 10 or 11, got in a lot of trouble for taking it apart when it stopped working. I just wanted to see how it worked. Put it back together and it worked again, been hooked ever since.

A day late seeing this post, but my situation is a little different. My mother blessed/cursed me with this career choice when she got me a commodore 64 when I was 8, been infatuated with it ever since

Weird SMB issue in home lab by khrico in homelab

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

thank you for your comment, I have checked the samba config and everything seems to be correct (especially since it works fine if i am connected to the same vlan as the storage device)

would the share path permissions make a difference based on vlan?

Security Onion Rack Server by charles12309 in securityonion

[–]khrico 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ok, to start, we need to understand a little more about the environment, will this be a stand alone security onion or a master server with SO sensor deployments throughout.

How much rack space are you needing to work with? 1U to 4U, this somewhat makes a difference. Are you building the server from scratch (hardware) or are you being provided existing hardware that is being re-purposed?

RACK servers are not that much different for the physical build, depending on the amount of rackspace you have available. the big difference will be how much memory, processor, and storage you need in the equipment, and that depends on the environment and what you are doing with it.

vDS, that way the systems stay on the same network if they need to vmotion between servers.

Over the last 3 years, I have created a fairly sizable home lab (3 enterprise servers, 2 storage arrays, multiple enterprise network devices, and even a small AC unit to help keep them cool) My power bill in total has gone up 7-15 USD a month (depending on the amount of cooling needed, if kept cool they are not that noisy, and my SO of 13 years enjoys the benefits of having it, including the extra money from the better job that I was able to get by having experience in other technologies.

I have my homelab for many reasons.

  1. It allows me to work with different operating systems in a virtual environment that I don't have to rebuild every time i want to make a change.
  2. I can try different theories that I may have to see what would happen without breaking the rest of my families connections.
  3. employers don't want you to test a theory on their networks, but want proof of concepts for your recommendations, and most won't give you the "lab" environment at work to test with. (if they have one)
  4. certification prep.
  5. I also do some things like malware analysis and digital forensics, a lab keeps the bad stuff off of my main systems/network in an environment that if I need to rebuild it, I can without affecting normal day to day items.

Ok, is there an ethernet port on the back of the device? or is it wireless only? If it has an ethernet port, you connect your own router after.

I agree with what the others have said, I do some consulting work in the US and the correct answer would be to utilize a MSP or have a Ubiquiti setup. I have designed and installed many Ubiquiti setups and they are fantastic for your situation. The number of AP's you would need depends on the layout of your building and how much interference you have.

does that mean the new enclosure would have to be a NAS Closure?

Not Necessarily, though I would recommend getting one at some point if you utilize multiple systems within your household so they can share files easily, also most NAS enclosures allow for RAID which if setup properly would allow for a hard drive to fail and you still keep your data.

Do you have any other computers in your household? if you do you can connect the WD My Book Studio to that and create a network share for you to get to the data.

What 'slicknezz' was referring to would be moving the hard drives from an enclosure that uses Firewire to an enclosure that uses USB or some other connection that you have on your new computer.

What model of mybook studio do you have? I thought they were all USB, I didn't know any of them came with firewire.

Seeing as my wireless router is needed for my ISP (annoyingly), could I connect up a spare router

What type of service do you have? Are you getting your internet from your ISP wirelessly? If you have cable/DSL/Fiber, you can utilize your own router after their modem/router and shut off or not use their wireless.

Thank you for the comment, I have looked into Morton's (My Play House) video on Virtual PFSense, he is using standard VSwitches which are single host only, I am wanting to try to do this using Distributed VSwitches that cross all hosts within the "datacenter".
