@irj said in Greenfield Kubernetes Architecture and Security:

Also another related question, would you even use kubernetes for databases or would be better to use a hosted service like RDS?

it depends. It's valid either way. However, things like dynamodb can get stupid expensive really quickly, so it's valuable to run those in cluster and just pay for the PVCs used.

@hobbit666 said in NG AV / Endpoint Protection in 2021:

So in simple terms, people are saying dump the AV products like Webroot/Bitdefender/Eset and move over to a more SIEM orientated setup whether that's in house or externally managed (we wouldn't have the resources internally)

By and large, just dump them. If you need SIEM, that's a different discussion. But definitely dump those. ESET is outright evil, they are an active threat. We've had actual criminal activity from them. They are nothing like the others.

Bitdefender and Webroot, they just don't add value over what is included, but do have some pretty significant negatives (not only cost.) Performance and, especially with Bitdefender, all kinds of application breakages.

The upside to customers who keep installing Bitdefender against our advice... boy does it rack up the billable hours to fix issues that it introduces.

@pete-s said in Bash Help:

My personal preference is actually php. A lot of people think it's just for web development and don't realize it's actually a script language that you could use for anything.

Rarely use it for that specifically, but PHP is definitely an awesome general purpose scripting language. I especially like that it is so good for web and great as a gp scripting language. So you get the best of one and one of the best of the other.

I like Python a lot, too. And it covers the same range of things as PHP. But I like PHP better.

@dashrender said in Microsoft Printer Vulnerability - FYI:

You had to what? Reinstall all drivers even for printers that were already installed?
Glad I haven’t seen that hit me!

Oh yeah. It was a "oh today is going to be fun" moment. Initially I thought, because I had recently migrated to Serve 2019 for my print server, that I had messed something up. Just a coincidence though. One might argue that since I was using v3 drivers, I did in fact mess something up, but I remember having issue with them previously, and took to Xerox Tech Support to ensure I was using the drivers they recommend for the new build. Not to mention, some manufacturers don't even supply V4 drivers yet, and some OS's don't like em, from what I'm reading.

With the MS Aug Update, two of my v3 drivers no longer work on 2019. Been working on finding an updated driver that will work. A few v4 have issues, then there are a few v3/v4 drivers (using Windows Update for MS Digitally signed drivers only) that won't install because it keeps telling me access denied.

Setup a Windows 2016 server print server to test, all updates and all is fine so these issues are related to Windows 2019 as far as I can tell.

Yeah, 199 Euro ain't bad in the grand scheme, of course if it doesn't meet your needs then I wouldn't bother with it.

I though it was reasonably priced.

I have the ticketing data downloaded from the API through CURL. trying to post the message through the txt file which i have which is giving some errors

@fredtx said in Did I connect these switches according to best practices?:

For instance, I've seen your posts where you said you learned some good concepts while studying for the mcsa MCSE back in the 90's.

That's true. But mostly I learned about the parts that weren't related to them, and mostly from third party sourced like Ed Tittle. Microsoft's own materials weren't bad, but not on par with good educators.

Also to make @scottalanmiller haooy change the title away from Build a pc. Since you only mean setup windows.

Ah. I see the disconnect here. I was really wondering why you would assume OS setup wasn't part of the job, but seeing now that I must've titled with the word "build" which threw you off a bit. That's on me. To be fair though, the computer has probably been gutted, so maybe build would apply? At any rate, that's on me.

I have seen this a couple times myself and disabled it. I have never seen a difference from disabling it.

...this.

The recommendations are based on the original bit. RDP alone has essentially no requirements at all. But if they need to do other things, then that would be the driver of requirements, RDP is a red herring.

That's fair, it does conflict because I said "just needs RDP".

I pulled the trigger on a cheapo Dell Refurb. Will do great for this specific scenario. Thanks gentlemen!

Like many mentioned before WiFi is the more economical choice. Though if it is a must you can also try Ericson as well.

@pete-s said in Yealink and bluetooth headset:

By chance I discovered that TP-link UB400 works the same as Yealink's own adapter. The phone thinks it's a Yealink adapter - the same chipset I think. Difference is that it's only $10 each and TP-link is easy to find.

Good to know.

Option 2:
Use the built in and use a connector that is IP auth'd

I would move PBS to the PVE environment since your just dumping data on the NAS anyways. At least then it’s replicated. Don’t forget to backup your encryption key.

@mr-jones said in Windows 10 Network Icon / Networking help:

Is the AP using the same network range as the rest of the network?

@scottalanmiller It's a different VLAN. As there are two AP's on this VLAN, I've confirmed that at least the few other clients that I tried with Wireless NIC's on these two AP's work with this setup.

Going to try to dive in today unless something pressing comes up. Gotta make time to learn.

OK - I'm guessing that the VLANs are playing into this somehow. They are preventing your client from getting a DHCP request would be my guess.
I know you said you have two other devices connected to same network - but are they using the same AP?

How about a complete reset of all network settings and wifi settings - i.e. forget all WiFi networks and start over...

@biggen said in Point of Sale System Recommendations, POS:

I use RevelPOS our retail business. Had it for about 7 years now. It’s ok. Uses iPads.

I’d probably do Clover if I had to do it over again but it’s too much of a PITA to switch now.

I've heard mixed things about Revel though - We have an iPad based system that used to be "Bite Squad" but now it's called HRPOS and I have mixed feelings about it.

Does it work for you pretty well? you said in Retail, have you used it in Hospitality before?

My kids each hook up a laptop, phone, Nintendo Switch, Amazon Tablet, iPad, and possibly more like instantly.

Well I mean the iPads are going bye-bye with this recent announcement from Apple, no?

Yup. Xiaomi has a new tablet being announced THIS WEEK. I'm pretty excited. I hope that it is available quickly as I was about to buy an iPad for myself and this looks like a way better option. However, rumor is that no "mini" size is coming in the announcement this week 😞
