Didn't want to start a few thread at the moment,
But i'm hosting a quick site at home on a VM, got a domain and forwarded to my external IP.
The VM is Linux Apache, MariaDB, PHP. But how would people beef up the security.
Stick Nginx in forint on the same server or a separate VM?
Cheap website hosting options? (I'm talking £5 per year 
)
Need to host a Web page or two somewhere. What's the best option?
Find something online and pay for simple hosting? Buy a domain and host on home lab securing before opening to the outside.
Only needs to be a 1-3 pages of images and text, nothing fancy
We used to use Kaesya (well our MSP did). Now on Datto RMM
"Keep Talking and no body explodes"
What Linux desktop os would people recommend?

Using separated systems seems to actually get you to use one or the other, and that is why I think having them separated by the bootloader makes for a smoother transition.
Granted I'm probably the only person that believes that....
This is what i'm thinking, have it as a separate system will "force" me to find solutions for isssues.
Thinking of trying Linux as my main driver and have windows as a boot option

If the gateway is the DNS for the internal clients, try having one of them go direct for lookups.
OMG so much broken shit...
So the problem is that their AT&T is down due to a power failure at the DMARC that they have no access to. I popped the door open with a screwdriver. Nothing in there has power. Fire alarm, other monitoring gear, nothing.
Rest of the building has power though. So fun times.
On to what's so fucked up.
The private network 192.168.1.0/24 is working and DHCP is a Windows 2012 R2 DC. But it hands out and old SBS server that does not exist as the primary DNS, then itself as the secondary DNS. The gateway is a pfSense box on 192.168.1.5 and uses a Charter Coax connection to get to the internet.
But that's not all! The DC is not the owner of the FSMO roles. I can't access the DNS MMC because of that. The old SBS server is still the FSMO role holder of ALL the roles.
But the network not working was the warehouse. This network gets its DHCP from the pfSense box and is on 172.16.44.0/24 and routes out the AT&T pipe. This DHCP only had 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 as the DNS entries.
I had hit the firewall to route the warehouse to the charter network early on, but it was still failing. No idea.
Once I arrived on site and found out that the AT&T service was down, I changed the routing again and this time it worked. Everything is going out the Charter pipe. I did also disable some weird blocker service module that was installed in pfSense so that might have helped.
Enough said, they are online and I left to dela with the customer I was supposed ot be coming to St Louis to deal with.
WOW sounds fun
@scottalanmiller said in So Windows 11??:
Not that easy currently, either.
I find it very easy, just don't have it connected to the internet when installing. You then select offline account. 
@scottalanmiller Agree with most of wants said in that article.
Think we've discussed this in the past, that it needs to be a dedicated person/team when a company hits a certain size, as monitoring logs, network activity etc can be a large task.
One thing i think about, they all bang on about have Air gapped backups, but some Ransomware can lay dormant for a bit while it spreads around the network. Depending on your backup strategies this could mean even the backups are useless.
Doing a Detailed DR Plan, like a step by step on how to recover from different scenarios.
Like Building burns down, or we loose both our clusters.
Another is Ransomware.
What would your first reaction/actions be if someone phones up and says "a pop up just happened saying everything is encrypted". Would you unplug and switch off everything, then look into it?
Or would be just switch their machine off and isolate it to investigate.
Personally think my reaction would be switch all servers off VMs and physical. But is that a bit OTT?

Installing and setting up ProxMox... Oh what could go wrong with this.
I just did this on my Dell Workstation/Server.
Just need to work out how to add two SSD and my RAID
But that's a Google job for tomorrow
Not used Windows backup but does it need the folder location to be added to backup maybe?
WOW @scottalanmiller thats a lot to take in, will take someone a week to read and digest all that lol
But all good.
US tycoon McAfee found dead in Spanish prison
Anti-virus software entrepreneur John McAfee has been found dead in his cell at a Barcelona prison.
Just hours earlier, Spain's National Court had agreed to extradite him to the US to face tax evasion charges.
