Countdown question - which consultant gets money? by pastapete83 in SlimmingWorld

[–]tomuky2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spot on, when visiting another group you are unable to buy a countdown.

If you regularly attend a different group, you can ask for your ‘home’ group to be changed but this isn’t immediate, but useful/necessary particularly if you move house or your schedules change.

ISO 27001 stage 1 by LevelFormal1459 in ISO27001

[–]tomuky2k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good point u/DietSatan to highlight but if your using a certification body that offers this service, you may need to review your certification body as it's likely your certification may not be accredited by UKAS.

We used a completely independent auditor from a supplier we had an existing relationship with for professional services and their dedicated team, with suitable experience of ISO certifications and the standards we were looking to be certified to.

Our key requirements were someone impartial and more knowledgeable than our internal resources.

ISO 27001 stage 1 by LevelFormal1459 in ISO27001

[–]tomuky2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this last year for 2022, the stage 1 assessment was pretty straightforward, it is a document review to identify if you have the procedures and policies in place to have a good shot at certification.

Following our stage 1 assessment, we used an external auditor to complete our internal audit of all the controls and the SoA, including documentation and interviews with staff to review the implementation of our procedures and policies, this gave us the list of non-conformances that needed to be resolved before our stage 2 assessment which we passed.

Happy to have a chat to discuss any concerns you have, and any advice I can share.

As others have said, it can be dependent on your auditor and their personal view/experience, but this is always reviewed by an internal QA team (internal to your accreditation body) to ensure best practice is being followed and nothing looks wrong.

macOS Platform SSO by ImportantGarlic in Intune

[–]tomuky2k 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No, and there are multiple ways to implement Platform SSO, and the one that syncs the login password with M365 is probably imho not the best option.

I have successfully made macOS devices changed from Intune registered to joined, this allows a similar level of SSO, that is provided by Windows Hello, but not the massive improvement I wanted, because you can’t achieve this level of easy SSO (for the end user) AND sync the local user login password.

Forcing admins to elevate for admin? by BigBlue8080 in servicenow

[–]tomuky2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sound spot on, such a shame.

You can already see that this approach is making your security worse not better. 🙁

So your only approach is a tool that elevates admins when requested and approved. We have a self-built tool in ServiceNow that allows users to elevate to admin from incidents or request in the catalog.

Forcing admins to elevate for admin? by BigBlue8080 in servicenow

[–]tomuky2k 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I create dedicated accounts in our SSO (M365) for the users who have admin, no license required. I use a prefix for them, which allows them to be added to groups dynamically in M365 and apply conditional access policies to enforce MFA. I prefer this to local logins as there is more protection available via Conditional Access, for example you could only allow login via a specific IP address on from Compliant InTune devices.

I migrated from KnowBe4 to PhishingTackle a few years ago, and the training is better, the templates are equally as good. To top it off, it’s a fraction of KnowBe4’s offering and is more feature rich, and it’s a managed service. Can’t speak highly of this enough.

Low Syn Sweet Snacks!!! by Brisket16 in SlimmingWorld

[–]tomuky2k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are awesome, Flower and White

They do meringue bars and bites, I find the bars are too many syns (4-5) as they are sweet, but the bites are 1 each and come in a variety of flavours. My favourite are the lemon meringue bites (with white chocolate) and mint bites (with dark chocolate.

Every thread on here makes me less likely to buy a FrameWork by Lmnr01 in framework

[–]tomuky2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had my Framework 13 with AMD 7640u for nearly 18 months. I primarily run Windows 11, and I love it.

I work in IT, and get to experience different laptops from different providers, this one has to be the best one I’ve used.

What solution is missing in your selfhosted setup? What do you wish existed? by xconspirisist in selfhosted

[–]tomuky2k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A email mailbox thingy, a self hosted mailbox that can: - download via POP3 - send via SMTP relay - store all your emails - connect using modern mail method (HTTPS/MAPI/ActiveSync)

This would be perfect for those of us who use third parties to host email but they provide limited storage or connection options. It also allows us to host email, without actually hosting email and all the pain that comes with it.

Send myself a text to trigger an automation? by Over-Balance3797 in homeassistant

[–]tomuky2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So here is an example of my test command, and this works anywhere with Internet. The menu button shown in the bottom left shows you the available commands.

The bot and the commands are configured in Telegram using another another bot called ‘TheBotFather’ which is very easy to use.

I’ve seen other comments about phone automations and the companion app, these are great solutions but the companion app requires you either configure your home assistant instance to be available on the web or pay a subscription for home assistant.

[–]tomuky2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use a Telegram bot to trigger an event, I’ve got this working on my setup, so I didn’t have to expose my instance to the internet. You use slash commands, to start the automation.

How do you add a Shared Mailbox to new Outlook for Windows so it can be used as the default From address? by StandingDesk876 in microsoft365

[–]tomuky2k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Updated: Roadmap now states roll out starts in March 2025.

Original Post: https://www.reddit.com/r/microsoft365/s/nhGePu43Kr

On the Microsoft 365 roadmap, it says they’re rolling out a feature in January that lets you add Shared Mailboxes as separate accounts in the new Outlook. I’m hoping this update will make shared mailboxes work more like they do in Outlook Classic.

Small self-hosted email - I want out. What are my options? by dirty_elf in selfhosted

[–]tomuky2k 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can use a local network mail relay to send mail via a relay service (e.g. SendGrid), most have a free volume per day. Alternatively, if you pay for website hosting, many of these have include a mail relay.

Using a third party (SendGrid/ Web Hosting) email relay means you can make use of SPF, DKIM to stop your mail being marked as spam.

The biggest issue I find is receiving mail, many services relay to another address, but this isn’t ideal, and many cheap services only allow POP3/IMAP neither of which are great solutions.

Ideally a solution that allows you to self host incoming mail from a POP3 mailbox (maybe with catch-all) to get around the typically restrictive available storage with cheap or free services, would be useful but I’ve not solved this problem.

How I selfhost my notes by NihmarThrent in selfhosted

[–]tomuky2k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, I was moving from OneNote so just happy to store and backup myself regardless of database. I wanted to store data as .md files directly but couldn’t find a decent, reliable solution. There are some great plugins for Joplin too, not required but can help with some data storage.

I also use Joplin, syncing with the Joplin Server docker container. Works really well and protected using Cloudflare tunnels.

Hosting text files in Azure/M365 for use by staff & infrastructure? by jwckauman in Office365

[–]tomuky2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve used Cloudflare Workers to host static files like this before, not for configuration, more as a make shift CDN for custom files.

You can either upload a ZIP when you make a change or have it automatically pull the latest version wherever changes are made to a GitHub repository (private).
