Do you have a Windows environment? Are you one of us ancient dinosaurs who still have on-prem servers running Active Directory? You may, on occasion, run into an issue where your servers seem to believe they are on a Private or Public network, instead of the Domain network. This can
Let's imagine a world... ...where I had a Windows file share called Share with several hundred folders in it, each of which should only be accessible to one security group. To a new staff member just trying to find the files shared with their building, this could be
So I decided to save a few bucks, bought the significantly cheaper 64GB version of the Steamdeck along with a big old (1TB+) microSD. The OS runs on the included m.2 drive, the games are installed on the microSD, and all is well... for a while. There are two
You should definitely be using encryption wherever possible. That includes encrypting data at-rest. If you are an organization using Active Directory and any number of Windows client machines, you're going to want to make sure that if those devices are lost or stolen, the data on them is
I LOVE DEBIAN! Debian -- Reasons to use DebianReasons to use Debian Debian is a stable linux distribution, and is used as a foundation for most of the biggest linux distributions on the planet (including Ubuntu, Proxmox and TrueNAS). Just about every linux application ever made comes in .deb format

If you haven't yet heard of it, Zoneminder is a super cool open-source application for recording IP camera footage. It works with just about every IP camera in existence, and it costs exactly $0 (assuming you have the hardware that is...) In this post (and at least a
If you, like me, choose to deploy your operating systems via PXE boot using FOG Project instead of Microsoft's WDS/MDT, good for you! There are literally dozens of us! I recently discovered, having changed the IP address of the underlying OS (Debian, of course) that FOG itself
I won't lie, this post is in large part for my own benefit. I set up a lot of Proxmox systems, and there are a few steps that need to happen for hardware passthrough to work correctly. This is the quick and dirty guide to get it working.
This may be the shortest post I ever make. Sometimes a disk fights with you, and all you want to do is quickly obliterate the entire partition table & every partition on it. The command I have found to work the vast majority of the time, even when dealing with
Say we have a system where we need a single encrypted drive for all our rare and expensive Linux ISOs. Say we don't want to enter a password to decrypt the drive every time we boot. Say in the event the drive gets stolen or tossed, we don&
I was searching for an image of a progress bar and found this. So there's that. Irrelevant cover photos aside, It is in fact possible to set up Debian to automatically update all of the things and reboot if necessary. Is it smart? Probably not. Do I use
