socphoenix,

This might be a change due to that new Microsoft recall program

socphoenix,

We moved to Colorado and 10 miles takes me about 15 minutes to cross the city we’re in, 30 in traffic. Where we grew up 10 miles around the city was 1-2 hours regardless of time of day (except maybe 2am). The country is just way too diverse for distance to be nearly as meaningful at transit time.

socphoenix,

This has to do with encryption protocols. Offhand my assumption is either they are trying to be extra cautious as the rules are incredibly complex, or they have a different algorithm included by default that would be subject to those rules.

Reproducing a Microsoft corporate environment on Linux.

Most companies I’ve worked at where employees had a Microsoft work computers. They were under heavy control, even with admin privileges. I was wondering, for a corporate environment, how employees’Linux desktops could be kept under control in a similar way. What would be an open source or Linux based alternative to the...

socphoenix,

Antivirus would probably be clamav.

As for policy, selinux would be my first Google.

Software allow lists I’m only going to mention system wide since stopping user space installs or chroots would be your software detection tool that I would be clueless on. System wide I’d look at sudo where you can control exactly what root level commands different users/groups can run.

socphoenix,

install Debian the way you want up through the apps you need. Then it off and use it as a clone to copy for all your setups as needed.

gotta get a new printer

Greentings As youve seen from the the title, i want to get a new printer as a present for my parents. Sadly they are still windows peasants and my mom somehow thinks that the HP printer on her desk has been a good financial investment, even though it has costed us more than 300 bucks in ink over the past 2 years....

socphoenix,

Brother does sell laser printers but they cost a good bit more. What media do they actually print? That would help a lot in trying to give advice.

socphoenix,

If it’s capable of acting like an fxo card then probably yes, with something like asterisk, without knowing more about the modem I would guess no however. You can see here for a forum discussion on the topic.

Issue with Valve Index

I got myself a valve index, as I’ve heard that it works well on GNU/Linux (I use Debain 12 with GNOME). Turns out, there were a bunch of hurtles. At first, my cable was just broken, so I needed to get that relaced. Later on when I got the cable, Everything worked fine, but nothinig is being displayed in the headset. The screen...

socphoenix,

What graphics card are you using? What driver is installed for it?

How do you have the USB’s plugged in for the headset and lighthouses?

Are there any Windows-exclusive programs you use?

I had to test/fix something at work and I set up a Windows VM because it was a bug specific to Windows users. Once I was done, I thought, “Maybe I should keep this VM for something.” but I couldn’t think of anything that wasn’t a game (which probably wouldn’t work well in a VM anyway) or some super specific enterprise...

socphoenix,

On ^1^ see here or here

socphoenix,

I had this when it was using a cups generic driver on a cannon I think printer. Switching to the manufacturers drivers fixed the issue.

socphoenix,

I think the point is network appliances but it seems mainly used by hobbyists from what I’ve seen.

socphoenix,

If you look at the supported platforms you kind of get an answer here. There’s support for the m68k Macintoshes and other similar ancient devices still.

netbsd platforms

socphoenix,

Have you tried booting from a live image? I’d try downloading something with a live option like Ubuntu to a flash drive, and then trying to mount the drive from that. Anecdotally I had massive issues with Manjaro a while back where it would “lose” access to entire usb bays on the motherboard that didn’t happen in Debian etc.

socphoenix,

I would want a FreeBSD type of packaging system where system libraries and apps are different. Their binary packages are separated into quarterly and latest so you get a very stable OS but either Debian or arch style package updates.

socphoenix,

You might try adding a cache drive instead. It can help lessen the memory usage zfs needs to maintain speed. My server is spinning rust with an ssd drive attached to the pool as cache.

Command would be “zpool add pool_name cache /dev/sdX” where pool_name is the pool you want the cache on, and /dev/sdX is the empty drive you want to use with it (or partition). Make sure to encrypt this drive before setting this up, my knowledge is zfs doesn’t do that for you.

see here for a bit more information on caching.

socphoenix,

It’s 512GB of ssd cache plus 128GB of ram, so for now that’s been enough
