especially if you're building a cluster. Though, I'd be curious how you'd interconnect them, this dosen't have the USB ethernet chip, so you might have a bit more freedom on how you do it
I am setting up a new Samba3 domain on Debian Wheezy. I installed the packages, and tweaked the smb.conf file to my liking. I cannot access the shares though, except those I'm supposed to based on my own group membership. This may seem normal, but I am also listed as the admin users in the [globa...

"" So, to confirm, there's no way to use the internet securely, at the moment? It's just "trust that the websites you use haven't been a target"? Also, is it correct that changing passwords now, before the new certificates have been issued would not be secure? – Articuno 7 mins ago "" Who told these people it ever was completly "secure" ? And how many times was it revealed that it was not?
@njallam: not really. I do seem to think we're a bit iffy on troubleshooting. From my experience I'd also do a bit of a site survey to make sure you're not getting kicked off by interference, and what's your wifi card?
@MichaelFrank Well, I guess it actually is the software that's killing the machine. But I have to simply power off the machine several times per week because it's unresponsive. I just hate it :P
Which is why we're now upgrading the old server to set up a new system and migrate stuff around
So I'm working on this "support ticket" right now. A client has an Excel sheet with relative links to documents in it. Somehow the client managed to save the document and have all links converted to absolute paths, breaking the whole document... which is shared with everyone in the whole company
So I restore a version from last month from backup where the links are still relative and send it to the client. Client tells me the file is still broken
So now I'm sitting here, installing Office in a VM in their network to try and replicate the issue
I haven't worked on anything I wanted to get done to
And I know that the file is fine. The client probably just opened it from a temporary location and the relative paths just didn't work at that location O___o
@njallam er....? "not a fan of them"? they've been predicting Microsoft's next step with Windows 8 since before it was released and you're "not a fan of them"? what did they do to piss you off? write the Gamers' Bill of Rights? refuse to ever use DRM? sell all their products at reasonable prices? how dare they!!!
I mean shit, if you're not a fan of Stardock, you must absolutely abhor Microsoft, right? I can't imagine you run Windows at all, right? Microsoft is a MUCH more evil company than Stardock!
First call was about one of our FairManager instances, second call was from a business partner whose HDD died and this thing right now is because we have a service contract with the company which apparently covers Excel problems...
@njallam do you have Java installed? How about Flash? How about Adobe Acrobat? any one of those programs has much more bloat to it than anything Stardock's ever made
the only program Stardock's ever written that has had any sort of "bloat" is WindowBlinds, and that program is specifically designed to produce "eye candy" on the desktop at the cost of performance (and people who buy it are aware of and accept that fact)
I run Start8 and ModernMix on a Pentium N3520; look it up, the benchmarks on that CPU are pathetic -- and I notice exactly zero slowdown on the system due to it
if there were any bloat to it at all, I'd feel it in the loading times for stuff on that system
that system is just downright slow
(and was that way out of the box before I even touched it)
I generally tend to ask more questions until they give up
Because it really doesn't matter which Office it is. The whole question was "Do you still have that Office 7 disc?" And, yes, of course I have it. I have discs for all versions of Office
my cat kept declaring herself as important this morning - I was downstairs getting laundry and she was rubbing her head against the banister and saying "me! me! me!"
@Bob I really don't, but once in a while I hear of a "neat" app
I generally read the permissions and imagine if there's a world of possibility where it could need that perm, and if not, I seriously reconsider installing it
IIRC, there is some program or firmware or something that lets you reject individual permissions on rooted phones, but obviously it can cause programs to crash if they get a null pointer back or something
let's see... apps.. on my homescreen i have: gmail, AOSP text messaging, google play music, spotify, audioguru, audible, google authenticator, battle.net mobile authenticator, mcafee security, data toggle widget, chrome, firefox, hipchat, stackexchange, google drive, mighty grocery, wegmans app, youtube, elemental kingdoms, smart light, AOSP settings, google calendar, Hi-Q MP3 recorder, calculator, MLB At Bat, LastPass, Google Navigator, and Google Play Store
@OliverSalzburg why? Google's already got me by the {inappropriate bodily reference}; if they're an evil actor, I've been owned since I picked up this phone at the Verizon store
at this point, unfortunately I have to assume, for better or worse, that Google is "safe"
if it turns out they're not, I would have to completely redesign my mobile life. new hardware, new OS, new search engine, new email system, etc
There's also [xprivacy](http://repo.xposed.info/module/biz.bokhorst.xprivacy) for rooted phones. > XPrivacy can prevent applications from leaking privacy sensitive data. XPrivacy can restrict the categories of data an application can access. This is done by feeding an application with no or fake data. There are several data categories which can be restricted, for example contacts or location. For example, if you restrict access to contacts for an application, this will result in sending an empty contact list to the application. Similarly, restricting an application's access to your location…
@ThatBrazilianGuy my phone is stock and non-rooted now... and I kinda like it that way; there are no known root exploits on my firmware that have been published, which is actually a good thing for security
@Bob if the firmware can be in any way exploited to gain root, it's a security hole... the ones I've seen on Motorola recently (including a prior release of firmware for this phone) involved just running a native binary, basically... a black box that exploits while the phone is running
nothing to do with recovery or USB debugging; in fact, USB debugging is quite useless for rooting in my experience
in theory you could install an app that has a native component that roots you and then uses its rooted privs to do bad things
having a ROM with no known root exploits, at least none that are public information, is a good thing -- that means anyone who's going to exploit you will have to find it on their own, instead of just being a script kiddie and using someone else's exploit. and it's a lot harder to find one on your own and then not publish it
it's a lot worse if your ROM has an exploit that basically consists of "run this binary and you will have a # prompt" -- which all Moto firmwares up until 4.4 have had
I backed up (very carefully) all my data and app state, and then did an FXZ to 4.4
complete system wipe
FXZ wipes all partitions -- user, cache, data, system, etc -- and flashes a new radio, new system partition, new bootloader, so basically every writable/user-programmable portion of the device gets "clean" code -- and the firmware has to be signed or a locked bootloader won't take it
I got the FXZ from Motorola themselves anyway so I'm not worried about the firmware being backdoored
> what scares me about 3d printers is that every 2d printer I've owned has been unexplainably horrible to use. Its like they've not mastered the dimensions before moving ahead.
@Bob don't know what it stands for, but it's basically an image file that consists of a baseband firmware, plus a partition image of every partition that comprises the Android system, incl. bootloader
you use RSD Lite or fastboot to flash it and you lose absolutely everything, but it's the safest way to upgrade
the only thing I think it doesn't flash is the SIM card
I had a lightly modified and rooted 4.2.2 firmware before, so I figured anything short of a complete FXZ without preserving data would likely break things badly
a few weeks ago I spent the better part of my evening re-configuring everything after I FXZ'ed
had a couple progs backed up to the cloud, fortunately
the biggest annoyance is using the on-screen keyboard to type in all my various passwords to reauthenticate all the apps after they've been reinstalled
also had to stop Google Play from automatically attempting to install a bunch of apps I had installed previously which I didn't want to be reinstalled (de-bloating as part of the FXZ)
