That is pretty sweet. Always looking for ways to clear up search results.
Glad I started this thread.

I should mention, that because it's a regular HTML input box on our internal app, appending all those ignores is automated. We dont have to type it.

@Dashrender said in Microsoft Security Essentials - Script?:

Do you have a remote access solution for these machines?

If not, Mesh Central might be a real life saver - then you could remote in and run these commands. No driving required.

What do you meant "Remote access solution"?
if the question is "DO i have remote access" ?
then the answer is yes .

LazyLibrarian will search and initiate downloads of books, and once download completes it will add it to Calibre library. It's not a software to manage you collection of purchased books, its purpose is to find books on usenet and torrent sites and send these to download clients. It's like Sonarr or Radarr, but for ebooks.

Sorry to see you go Breff.

Is Dafang still the best choice here?

Yes, but not for long. Wyze is finally going to be adding things native.

Also, garage space. The hail in Texas makes car ownership less attractive.

That could definitely be an issue. At least there more alternatives to owning these days.

Yeah, for me it seems super easy to live without one.

Have you tired any of the non-traditional renting app/services yet?

@wrx7m Why yes I do!

1988 - Johnny Winter at Center Stage in Atlanta. Then I got to see Steve Vai not long after that. Then hundreds and hundreds more throughout the years.

I'll say the plating is a bit much.. however the idea behind a magnetic connector is pretty neat.

However for the cost,.. it's a Nope in my book.... There are a lot of charge hours on a $10 pack from Amazon...

The thing with this network is that it's focused on the gadgets, not the tech. From a tech side, it's pretty weak and the author doesn't really even know the stuff that he has...

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed, there were a few times were I was like "..that's not what that means/does/is"

Definitely someone not very familiar with it. Appears not to have learned to much on that side of things even after having installed and presumably used it.

Sounds like I should have read the entire thing instead of just glancing at a few highlights.

@Emad-R : Soo.. When are you moving to Canada?

Come to Canada, we have winter..

hopefully that will change my mood and health.

I can't say the winter is good for your mood, SAD is a real thing here

I agree. One time, I was on the bus alone, looking at the window and it's snowing. Urgh! I don't even want to talk about it. HAHA

A lot of people I know, including myself, use desks where you can stand or sit. I can't stand standing all day and I'd say most people with desks that can do both, spend the larger part of the day sitting.

@StorageNinja said in 4th Ammendment:

Doesn't it only work for the purposes though of border enforcement, and only by border patrol?

That's the excuse that they used to get a ruling removing the constitution. But as there is no law to create limits, there are no limits.

@DustinB3403 said in How to Install Desktop Environment to a Fedora Server:

@Pete-S I was the person to mention creating a desktop environment on the system to use as the management domain, and run virt-manager there. And I've repeated it numerous times, across several topics.

As for using virsh, that is an option too.

Sorry, I didn't follow the other previous thread(s).

So following on from the Other thread.

Looks like i'm heading to the Install KVM, setup a Linux VM and use that to manage the KVM server from that.

We constantly see people saying 'never publish RDP to the internet' - but how much of that is just fud, and the real issue is poor passwords and no lockout policy?

That's FUD. RDP is a fully secured protocol. It is wrapped in SSL, so already inside a VPN tunnel. It is as secure as anything else.

RDP has a tendency to be a high profile target, which is still not a big deal.

The biggest issues with RDP are that...

Microsoft's implementation of an RDP server lacks common sense security to lock out brute force attacks. Like how fail2ban protects SSH. End users of RDP tend to be "Windows users" and that user group is notoriously incapable of doing things properly so tend to use weak passwords that never change on publicly exposed services.

If you treat RDP like you normally treat SSH (smart users, good security) they are equally secure.

I've held this belief for many years.

I have had so many sudo-Jared FFS's by at least 5 other security individuals about this subject over the last 15 years. I try to state the logic behind RDP with good passwords and lockout (RDP Guard) but get the "No Direct RDP connections" that is so ingrained in the security mantra.
It has just become a dead talking point for me.

I just tell the doc's, "I have no problem spending more of your money that other "experts" want to rip from your pocket."

Yep, exactly.
