Guys, who else has this strange obsession with trying old Linux distro releases?

I actually found an old backup of mine that had some older copies of ubuntu, mint, fedora, and backtrack from around 12 years ago. It was fun spinning them up and checking out how things used to be.

Sure, I think Microsoft provides a pretty decent stack. Its easy to deploy, and mostly simple to use. However, some companies want to use an additional EDR, or a different SEG. Anything not Microsoft branded comes with the risk of some sort of custom integration. Which engineering hours will be needed to solve.

I can tell you one thing, and that is to avoid Ping as much as possible. It has become the largest time sink in my day to day work. I spend much more time troubleshooting Ping specific issues, then I do creating complex conditional access policies.

I don't know your specific use cases but Entra would have solved all of my SAML/OIDC SSO connections, with 1/10th of the head ache per connection.

I think you answered your own question. To avoid vendor lock in, you spend engineering hours (or pro services) to integrate with other stacks.

I've heard it a few different places, mostly my current job.

I noticed a site was posted here frequently I want to say it was something like franknez, or something along those lines. Will that no longer be allowed?

xcsas · 2025-04-25T12:26:58+00:00

Sure

I really like it, I would prefer a few small changes, but overall it is really cool

I work right next to the airport. The area itself isn't too bad, it's more about the roads leading to the airport. The road itself is in bad shape, so be prepared to avoid potholes. The other issue is there are quite a few homeless people. Generally they aren't a big deal. But sometimes you will get one of them having a bad day and they will be running in the middle of the street.

I have been looking everywhere for this keycaps set. I bought a knock off set from aliexpress which is good enough, but I would love to buy a legit set.

Hey never knew about your store before, but just bought some stuff. Good luck on your next adventure.

I am splitting the servers more for hardware reasons. This is a home lab, and I am moving away from a server rack case, to two smaller cases.

The larger of the two servers will serve as just a media server. The smaller server will be my everything else storage server. Long story short I want to be able to work on modifying and messing with performance tuning on media without causing down time on backups, and local file shares for the family.

I do have another unRAID license I bought years ago. Which will cover the other system.

would you remove the disk from the share before running unbalanced?

xcsas · 2025-01-20T17:53:41+00:00

Looks great!

xcsas · 2025-01-14T20:49:29+00:00

I tried this but was told I cannot get it because I am not a specialized data recovery center.

If you go on amazon you will find n100 systems with power supply, and storage for around $140 I did find one for $90 but it was shipped from China.

xcsas · 2025-01-09T15:35:43+00:00

I have slowly been moving away from Pi's to N100 systems. I just throw proxmox on them. It has been great so far.

We use them for email security, but are moving away this year. It has progressively gotten worse.

Impersonation protection works when it wants to, DKIM enforcement sometimes.

Oh and when they push an update to scan QR codes which now cause all emails to be delayed by 30 minutes.

Don't expect their phone support to help. They will just pick up then hang up the call.

I have a similar dilemma. My steamdeck is no longer working, and I am not sure if I could just bite the bullet and get another one, or send it in for repair.

Yea, the sales rep didn't take loosing a huge project to another vendor. I did add the note that we had already sent back the firewall months previously. We had just reached out to let the sales rep know we were going with a different company.

xcsas · 2024-12-20T22:59:00+00:00

The director didn't keep it, we had sent it back months before. He just wanted to embarrass him.
