@EddieJennings Storing data offsite isnt that bad, and if your ISP is given enough money per month then you can upload and download things to b2 at close to Gb speeds.

Sometimes the pedantry is a bit much. Don't care usually about people being rude assholes, cause I do that sometimes.

What if I browse to your blog, but my DNS is hijacked, and then suddenly I'm on your blog website, but now I see a login form. Why the hell woudl I attempt to log in to your blog, knowing I do not even have an account there?

Exactly, that's my feeling. If I don't have an account somewhere, and the site is not one that would have a purpose for logging into it, it seems far fetched that people will log in anyway. Even "legit" sites would use that for data harvesting if that was really how people behaved.

But I see his point of present a central OAUTH and people might actually do that stupid thing.

I had a user who actually made a Firefox account on first day after she logged in and opened got that 'you need a firefox account' page that mozilla sends people to.

This topic just glowed bright blue on the main page for about 5 seconds. What is that?

@black3dynamite I like the colored icons. I HATE the original autoplaying ad on top, and really HATE the 2nd autplaying trailer they just added two rows down.

@coliver said in AD, Group Policies and Moving Users to a new OU:

Are the users moving to a new forest? If they are just moving to a new OU you could either make them sub OUs of the Users OU. Or you could link the existing policies to the new OUs that you create.

No need to export or recreate OUs.

You actually cant make sub OU in Users or Computers because the default Users container isnt an OU. Same with Computers default container. If you right click on these>New> you will see OU isnt available.

I always thought this was something to be fixed but it is apparently by design.

@nic That looks fun.
Mad Max was probably the best 6 bucks I ever spent on a game.

@jmoore You must not have had the hot salsa on your burrito. I used to work there and that stuff eats clothes.

@rojoloco ON a Wednesday?

SSRS 2012 email config by default uses the user alias, but wont add @domain.com, meaning sending email reports doesn't work. Have to go into the reportserver config file, change SendEmailtoUserAlias to false, and then every single person that wants a report has to manually type in their email address when subscribing. Incredible.

@scottalanmiller I was just talking about this site in particular, not all sites.

Something I never see, but is anyone else having Google getting Secure Connection Failed errors?

@scottalanmiller I get the mixed content warnings still on FF. Dont use Chrome.

The best gangster film youve never seen
Once Upon a Time in America.
The 4 hour version is on Amazon. I rented it for $4.

@obsolesce No that wasnt his point. Yet it happens more than all others put together. Also this woman didnt od on alcohol. I was just bringing up the fact he doesnt 'do drugs' but drinks alcohol, so he does, in fact do drugs.

@jmoore Alcohol is a drug that causes more disease and death than all others put together?
How hard is it not to do drugs? Pretty damn hard considering the vast majority of humans use drugs.

I went to do this and there was no OpenSSH server.
Then i remember optional features are disabled in WSUS.
I unjoined this pc from domain, then was able to find and install OpenSSH Server for Win10.

@scottalanmiller Can you post a screen shot? I dont know what youre describing. If using snip ruins the effect, can use PrintScreen?

100k for 70 phone users?? Dizamn. We dont use Cisco and pay a bit less than 7k/year for 50 users.
That's how Cisco makes some of their money; charging for updates.
The hardware support/rma is good though, theyll get someone to you with a part same day many times.

What is the Smartnet $ amount for renewal?
