We allow users external access to Sharepoint but they still have to authenticate to log in and still can only see what permissions allow their user account to see? Are they seeing stuff they shouldn't or do you only want them to access it from you internal network? Will they have a VPN to connect to you LAN in order to access Sharepoint?

Wasn't bad too watch actually. I usually steer clear of stuff like this but I think it was a reasonable effort by NG

I've always been a fan of Linode

As much as I am not a fan of Linus Tech Tips he does offer some good insight into the new platform. I'm not much of a gamer so I can just go the Xeon router without worrying too much about all the extra fluff.

May be old breaches but if OP wasn't aware of them he may not have taken steps to secure his account or move to another provider until now.

I still don't mind the show. It's the closest thing to reality we have been given by a mainstream show.

guvcview is popular with most of the linux youtube channels

Another vote for Squid here.

Spiceworks does a reasonable job of a ticketing system. Their inventory scanner leaves a lot to be desired by their own admission with many false positives etc but the ticketing system is good for a free product.

I don't think the show will ever go back to the way it was in the "good old days" but I still stop by thier you tube channel to see how things are going. Was pretty amazed to see my forum account is still active today too lol.

System user agreement every user signs tells them their internet activity is monitored from the outset so no pleas of ignorance. If you leave any loopholes or ambiguities, people will exploit them.

Spiceworks here, our size does not warrant anything flashier and the community support is quite good.

Ice Weasel is the "Freedom" respecting browser based on Firefox. I use Chromium or Firefox4 on Linux. GNash worked well with Chromium on Debian 6 for me for you tube etc.

I still don't understand why things like this don't ring alarm bells from the get go. I wouldn't even jokingly entertain the notion of tying to get in on one of these offers.
RE: advertising on websites. I find that if your small fry running adds it looks like a cash grab or poor web design, maybe even both. I'm not against people making money from their sites, I just find it looks terrible in most cases.

Just get a VPS from a decent provider. Linode are brilliant.
-
Decent logging will help give you clues to some extent.
-
We wouldn't have dos, but we'd still have unix which is better anyway
-
Microsoft didn't invent sign language.

Boy I used to love these threads but they really are dying. Will post one of my arch desktop later.

so, obviously, you're referring to my post..? i wouldn't be so quick to make that assumption. i get around my kernel update reboots with ksplice. sure, i have to restart X every once n a while for some crazy ass weird reason, but it's not that hard to get that uptime on a desktop linux box, imo. even if i didn't do a lot of os related updates, it wouldn't be a huge deal. if ones firewall is properly setup, who gives a shit. ya, some of it has to do with having good uptime...not going to lie there, but a majority of the reason is that i just don't have to. though, typically around this amount of uptime, i do have to reboot. so it'll happen soon ;)
I wasn't referring to anyone's post in particular. I don't use windows except for at work so decent uptimes aren't all that unbelievable. For a everyday windows desktop box connected to the net, receiving updates etc though I would be highly skeptical. I'm a sysadmin so I am all for massive uptimes.

Vegemite was just a scam to feed people with the otherwise wasted byproducts of all that beer the Aussies drink.
Aussies only think it's good because they were force-fed Vegemite during WWII and it tasted good when compared to starvation. It's now marketed solely on Australian nationalism.
Vegemite is regarded as a national treasure by many, but we're just hard as nails and that's why we like it. Coke in the US contains more sugar than it does here too i believe so that is one example of dietary differences. Americans are used to markedly sweeter foods so their palette isn't ready for Vegemite.
I like Vegemite with peanut butter on toast.

My home server was around 180 days and then we had a power outage (no UPS) so it broke my heart a little. At my last job there was an old windows 95 box hooked up to some lab equipment and it was over 4 years if I remember correctly. Will try and get one of the guys there to take a *pic (no screenshot i'd hate to see it crash. Would be like murder)
*Some of these claims seriously need pics if they are just your everyday desktop. Hundreds of days up time on a server is pretty easy, but on a plain old desktop I am skeptical. Not because of stability reasons, but updates and the such. If you refuse to update just to keep uptime high then you're an idiot.
ESXi Backup
in Business and Enterprise IT
Posted
You could install some backup software on the server 2012 VM itself to back it up. Is the virtual machine stored on the ESXi server itself? You might want to consider setting up some sort of network storage and have ESXi access it via iSCSI and then look at snapshotting the SAN/NAS.
