So here's a playground example of using functional options and error handling: https://play.golang.org/p/cfw7axv6pjO

The advantage over method chaining is that we can return our errors correctly this way. Using the following as an example, I can return my error the whole way to the function call in main() and only need to handle it in a single place.

type MethodOption func(*http.Request) (*http.Request, error) func NewRequest(opt ...MethodOption) (*http.Request, error) { r := &http.Request{} var err error for _, opt := range opt { r, err = opt(r) if err != nil { return nil, err } } return r, nil } func SetURL(URL string) MethodOption { return func(r *http.Request) (*http.Request, error) { u, err := url.Parse(URL) if err != nil { return nil, err } r.URL = u return r, nil } } req, err := NewRequest( SetURL("https://google.com"), ) if err!= nil { fmt.Println(err) os.Exit(1) }

My plan too as soon as the Meraki license comes up next year

That's why they don't include CNAM or 911.

No one should get CNAM from their carrier anyway. It is a silly expense to pay for no reason for many businesses.

@stacksofplates said in Linux Desktop Environment:

I use GNOME 3 pretty much no matter what it is. Every so often I'll use i3, but I really like GNOME.

I use Gnome 3, but only out of standardizing. I actually prefer most other options. Cinnamon just calls to me a lot.

yes, it was down this morning

@FATeknollogee said in Help setting up routing:

@JaredBusch Just curious, what it the /23 on eth3, is that one of your LAN IP blocks from AT&T?

AT&T can't issue private IP addresses.

@JasGot said in Sending Secure E-Mail?:

The dept is engaged in a grant program with the State Department of Environment…, which requires us to include our banking information on every reimbursement application.

Come to think of it, banking information is not really sensitive info, is it? If you send an invoice to anyone, they have your banking information.

The only risk here is a man-in-the-middle attack where banking information is changed on the application while it's being submitted. So that the money is transferred into another account.

So do the company send all their invoices and ordinary mail containing banking info by registered mail in locked containers, so it is secure from end to end?

If not, then email isn't any less secure.

@brandon220 said in Anyone here know of core banking vendors that are actually good for small community banks?:

The only one I've ever had dealings with starts with an F. I have listened to a few of the others give their "sales pitch" but when you are so heavily involved and invested with the same core for so many years, there is a "fear" among the C-levels that prevent them from wanting to change. Some of the ones we listened to even offered to buy out the current contract, etc. just to be awarded the contract.

My biggest gripe with the above mentioned is the lack of keeping software current and not using legacy programs and software. In 2020, we still are forced to use IE11 for most of the web-based items. If you question it, you are asked to submit a feature request to update a platform.

Yeah a lot of our services require IE11 and they wont even work with modern browsers. Much of the applications we have been using are terrible, slow, clunky and end of life with minimal support from our core vendor.

Final verdict, it completed and showed clean shutdown.

I deleted all the log files at this point and the database mounted.

Email flow resumed around 4pm with no lost email as the spam filter kicked delayed messages in response to inbound email.

Having this issue on another Ubuntu 20.04.

Same error as before, but everything seems to be installed correctly

vagrant plugin list No plugins installed.

If I get time tonight I will look at this and test it to see how it works for me.

It's def still alpha so don't have high hopes lol.

@flaxking said in Relative path in batch:

.\ Won't necessarily refer to the folder the script is in, it will refer to the working directory at the time that the script is launched.

%~dp0 refers to the directory the script is in, but I don't recall if it works for Network shares.

Good point. mapped drives would help this, even if you're mapping it long enough for the script to run, then unmapping it at the end.

@JaredBusch Might take another look then... My FTTH comes in as a tagged VLAN and it wouldn't pick up a dhcp lease on v2, even after a few reboots but once I downgraded to v1 it picked up the lease from the ISP right away.

O365 has this built-in. Check Exact Data Match (EDM), and Data Loss Prevention (DLP).

You define what makes a document HIPAA restricted (EDM) (or for any other other reason if you wish, it does not have to be a HIPAA issue), and then you create a rule about how any document meeting that EDM can be viewed or distributed (DLP).

In a nut shell; Let's say you have documents with Social Security numbers, you create an EDM to identify SS #s in documents (this happens as you access them) and it flags them as having met the criteria for one of your EDM rules.

Then, your DLP rule can, for example, only allow the document to travel through email within your domain, or within a group (department, C level employees, etc). It can disallow the document from being downloaded or printed, etc.....

Have a look here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/compliance/create-custom-sensitive-information-types-with-exact-data-match-based-classification?view=o365-worldwide

Yeah this is bread and butter for config management tools. You'd either use a template for the config or the lineinfile module for Ansible.

Your template would have something like this:

PermitRootLogin {{ root_login_enabled }}

In it and then you can control which servers allow root login with the root_login_enabled variable.

@AshKetchum said in Out of office auto reply best practice:

We noticed that the employee that left the company 6 months ago still has an active auto-reply. what is the best practice and how long should auto-reply for terminated employees?

We send email bound for "dead" accounts to someone else so that we can respond. So for us, the duration is "zero".

@krisleslie How is it better? It would take a lot for synology to be better than ubnt in my opinion. Not saying it isnt possibe, just asking the details is all.

@Pete-S said in Searching for text in file:

If you have a text file that looks like this:

start_folder='/folder1/abc.txt' iterations='123' passphrase='xyz' last_command='invoke' return_value='0'

How can you pick out just xyz when looking for "passphrase"?

I know grep will get me the line but what should I use if I want just a part of the line?
Can it be done in one command or do I have to pipe several together?

If you the text has a character that would be a good delimiter, you can pipe grep to cut... ie:

cat myfile.txt|grep "iterations"|cut -d '=' -f 2 Output: '123'

the -f # is which column you want.

There may be other ways to do it, but that's the first way I can think of.

You can specify a file with grep, no need to pipe in from cat.

This is true! I always seem to get it backwards when I do that, so i just cat $thefile | grep | blah ... Cuts down on frustration, ha ha.
