      @stacksofplates said in Experience with NDR Solutions:

      Why is Sally accessing this service from a non work computer at 3 am her time with a chinese IP address? Sure this request has the password but that doesn't sound valid.

      Which means you can automatically perform additional validation with MFA, or straight up deny access.

      There's a lot of options really. You can only allow access to certain systems and/or services via company devices enrolled in MDM, with up to date OS, encryption, and endpoint protection. You can verify endpoints and users with passwordless auth via Beyond Identity and in certain cases use additional MFA via Duo or whatever you want to set up.

      Sally is trying to log in to her company email. She's authenticated via passwordless auth via Beyond Identity on her work computer. Her work computer passes the health check seamlessly through BYID and allows her to access her email. Maybe she's also prompted for MFA always, or maybe only if she's logging in outside her normal geographic area on her work computer. Maybe (e.g. email) access is denied totally if from a non-company device. Options...

      @JaredBusch Yup, and they want to do a audit of devices using a deployment tool that is not even a Microsoft one.

      Normally all we have to do is change it back.

      That is not fixing the problem though. Simply working around it.

      The problem is why do these tools not work under Wayland?

      Tested the fix of changing nesting to disable. So far, so good. But it'll take time to know.

      Another day, no crashes. So far this fix is working and is really easy.

      The GIT repo isn't showing the 2 branch yet. Not sure why because it shows up on GitHub.

      Well they pulled it, so we are now on the "latest" again.

      Most software have help -> about menu option and it should list software vendor.

      If you can log in 😉

      But we know the ERP is Oracle NetSuite. But like everyone, they went through a reseller and lost the more important contacts.

      Literally no one has any emails on that at all? have all the people in the company who were involved in that project left the company and their email has been deleted?

      Correct. The people involved quit and the powers that be decided to just delete their accounts rather than manage them in some way. So all contact is lost.

      @Carnival-Boy said in Is Real Estate Actually a Good Investment on Average?:

      Oh, and "water cooler" time is good for generating trust and forming bonds within teams, which is essential.

      My experience is that it does the opposite. It creates cliques and promotes the idea of promoting for socialization rather than for results. I think good, skilled workers who want promoted based on merit see it as sowing distrust... a mechanism for those that aren't as capable or as ethical to avoid work while "schmoozing" the bosses.

      Yes, if you want bad employees to trust each other, it's good. If you want to have employees you can trust to protect your business, it's bad.

      @jaredbusch said in Restoring a Windows MS SQL Server Database to Linux With Move SQLCMD:

      @scottalanmiller I have not had to do that before with a normal backup to a .bak and then restore. Not some an place move like it seems you are doing.

      Happens if going to a space with a different storage layout. If you are coming from Linux you are probably fine. But Windows injects the drive letter into the path (obviously) and so going from one machine to another that doesn't keep identical storage path names causes the issue.

      @scottalanmiller said in Responding to "This BS called URE" from Synology Forums:

      if the OS rather than simply flagging that file on the drive as being corrupt, would rather flag the whole drive, it comes across as a rather short sighted screwup.

      This is actually what it does. Except not the OS. The RAID controller (hardware or software) flags the file (array) as being corruption, not any drive. Any drive(s) with a URE are flagged as being healthy.

      If you were to divide up the drives into many arrays, and you hit an exposed URE, only the single array (file) in which the URE was found would be corrupt. The drives, and other arrays (files) on them would be just as healthy as ever.

      It only comes across as a short sighted screw up if you don't realize that the "fix" takes us right back to where we already are.

      @obsolesce said in Beyond Computers and Cables: Achieving the Full Potential of IT at your Clinic:

      Nice video, but I ran into quite a pet peeve. I would like to point out I wholly disagree with Allen's definition of "cloud" about 15 mins in... that, as he says, "it's just somebody else's server... just means the server is hosted somewhere online over the internet".

      I know. He always does the "tee shirt definition" rather than the real one. It's because vet customers can't even begin to understand cloud and all the cloud vendors in the industry aren't using cloud but just using it as a proxy for hosted.

      That's a horrible thing to tell customers and in no way whatsoever does anything for the customer except misinformes them and solidifies their misunderstanding of cloud and why it's used. That basically tells the client cloud is if you want something off prem and over the internet. That couldn't be any further from what it is and why it could be beneficial or not to them. Yall are straight up reinforcing myths by saying that.
