The location of VMware Security Advisories (VMSAs) has changed on May 6, 2024. They are now available from the Broadcom Support Portal. The legacy VMSA URLs still work but are now redirected to the portal, for example: www.vmware.com/security/…/VMSA-2024-0002.html points to support.broadcom.com/web/ecx/…/23681....

I have created a new Samba community on lemmy.sdf.org...

Samba is amazing, Windows server is a lot less so. The problem with Windows server is that it takes tons of steps to do basic things. On Samba I had Samba tool and it was very nice and friendly. On Windows server you have a ton of different management panels....

Hey all!...

Hopefully this does not affect you but if you are running something like Arch, OpenSUSE tumbleweed, Debian sid or Fedora Rawhide and use SSH for remote access you should do a full wipe.

I received the below message. It states Skyline Advisor Pro can’t be activated after 4/1. This doesn’t look good for the Skyline program. I’ve been using it for a long time and between log assist and the recommendations, i’ve found it very helpful. I have the Dell integration in place but I haven’t really used it much....

Here is a video about Intel VDI.

Basically what it says in the title. I did a lot of searching in Internet. I think small form factor computers are mt best bet. But I still feel they are costly for my purpose....

NIST is a US government org that releases industry guidlines on best practices for cybersecurity....

I would never put Nix os into production as it is fairly obscure but since there was a interest here in Samba AD I though this might be interesting

Debian has less complexityand is very stable. It has a nice wiki and a Debian system can run for a few years on unattended upgrades....

Hey guys,...

If you are on call and you receive a call at say 3:45 am and you resolve the issue by 4:30 am. Is it then worth trying to go back to sleep to wake up for work the next day or should you just stay awake and power through it?...

Does anyone have recommendations for good VPS Linux hosting places? I used to recommend DigitalOcean, but I'm having a subpar support experience currently that sets off some slight alarm bells such that I might want to look elsewhere. What's good?

Honestly all new lenovos have been giving me issues, webcams break, stop charging, except for those black thinkpads… This one suddenly decided to go display Chinese text and display goes black randomly

Have been using this for occasional outside broadcasts. It stopped working today. Downgrading to version 7.0.4 fixed it for now. Unfortunately Rustdesk doesn't support reverse tunnels so I'll have to hunt for an alternative method.

I manage hundreds of servers at work. They each have a BMC (remote power on/off, reset, KVM, etc) and we need to use those features frequently. I’ve been using a Google Docs spreadsheet to track their URLs, what each box is used for, specs, etc but it feels like a dynamic web app would be better for this purpose. Does anyone...

I read someone was trying to get Samba AD working in a container and now I am curious what else you guys are working on....

I’ve been seeing a lot of doom and gloom about VMware. The cutting of services and licensing changes of the cost of core offerings are huge issues. Is anyone planning or budgeting to change to another hypervisor? If so what?
