You're not!? We've seen our profits increase 7000% since putting the word "cloud" all over our website. We have "cloud backup" that syncs servers to a server at our datacenter, "cloud email" which is resold Office 365, and a "cloud AV" that is a local AV client that gets it's updates from the AV...

Underrated line. I cracked up. Just the image of tired and abused BB equipment trying it's best, and everyone throwing insults at it. It's sad and hysterical.

Are these not fiber? I thought at least the bundles on the right were, if not most. I can see how most look like BNC or some kind of coax, but thought I had to be mistaken. Does anyone actually know what this is for? At any rate, if it's not fiber, I would have to imagine it's a different...

It sounds to me like UPnP may not be enabled on his router, or at the very least, not working properly. I know some routers will require you to enable UPnP before it actually works. If it's an older router, check that it's on the latest firmware. If you have an extra on hand, swap the router out...

We've had this happen before. Long outdoor ground or roof runs were fairly common in one of my previous environments, and we were replacing switches and desktops as a result. Beware of where you buy from if you go Cat6 these days. Many of the Cat6 cables cost more, and don't actually meet Cat5e...

We had both in service, but if I recall this one in particular was a 250. I'll post some of our datacenter pictures in a bit, it was a decent setup. I like the onboard RAID, or even the RAID expansion arrays they have. The big issue there is most of our storage was shared across several ESXi...

Thanks! These were from my deployment in 2008, so I'm happily on American soil again. Haven't been back since. I wonder if I have pictures of some of the networking closets from my 2006 deployment; they were even worse. Many of these were taken prior to network cable cleanup projects. Here are a...

Just a few of our core switches in Iraq

Not to mention that this was blown completely out of proportion to begin with. I've commented on concerns like this before, and the hype and momentum gained by these things is rarely quelled by the reality that inevitably follows. We end up taking passing comments as (or worse, directly issuing)...

Glad I could help, @GomezAddams! HVRemote is a life saver!

I've had issues getting Hyper-V Server up and running in non-domain environments as well, but there are some pretty good tools to get you going. Here's the best starting point- a script that configures most of the things for you...

Everyone always sees these smaller devices as pfSense (or equivalent open source firewall/UTM distro) potentials. For the $100 base layout, then case and stable PSU, additional gigabit USB Ethernet adapter (with Linux support, mind you), one may as well actually lay out the money for the real...

It is Debian, correct. Shouldn't be any surprises, as far as I can tell, based on what you're doing. One thing, I do know VyOS has moved to ISC DHCP 4 (http://blog.vyos.net/post/68466041801/isc-dhcp-4-1-8), and from what I understand, the developers work closely with Ubiquiti Networks to develop...

Heres the info regarding full BIND support: https://community.ubnt.com/t5/EdgeMAX-Configuration-Examples/EdgeMAX-Install-and-Configure-BIND-DNS-Server-on-the-Router/ta-p/558587. The DHCP server is able to do anything I would like for it to, if you have something specific in mind, I can look...

As a point of interest, I have upgraded my home network to a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite from a Linksys E4200 running Toastman's Tomato build with QoS. I have to say, the new case along with EdgeOS V1.5.0 really sold me, and I'm so glad I changed over. I didn't see huge gains in performance...

Yeah, the actual concern is attack surface though. Special consideration has been taken to minimise the attack surface with it's current feature set, and adding more services or applications to it could, potentially, increase that attack surface. Say, for instance, there's a vulnerability on the...

Mark D. Montgomery II If you mean adding a torrent server, or a web server, that's a big no-no. If you ask questions like that around the forums (https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=32920.0) you will always get the same answer. From what I gather, anything is possible (Mom used to tell me...

Do you ever have problems with the NICs? I noticed they are Realtek, and I still have issues occasionally with Realtek NICs. Just two weeks ago I fixed a FreeNAS box that was just killing NICs every so often until it could no longer talk, and a reboot fixed it. Turns out it was getting watchdog...

I love Quinn Norton so much! Great artical. Hysterical images as well- though, I think most of us have suspected the Ubuntu one for some time.

I have to disagree, this one was fairly widespread, and potentially presented, in clear text, a large amount of information. I do believe there are varying degrees of severity to vulnerabilities, don't you?
