@enigmatico it isn't, according to some of our clients' domain controllers (still in production). #sysadmin #networking #Linux #NeoV

Can somebody make the "Scooby Doo Fred pulls off villain mask" meme using "WiFi mesh with wired Ethernet backhaul" being 802.11r roaming?

Thanks in advance. #sysadmin #networking #Linux #NeoV

Setting aside against proprietary and closed-source/walled garden software . . . Synology NASes are a heck of a deal. Great UI, rich and robust ecosystem, and cloud services are à la carte.

When you buy the system, that's it. You're done (if you want). Many of its most interesting features don't require a cloud Synology account at all, and only a small *small* subset of those that do require actual subscriptions. Now of course be weary that when you pay nothing you might be the product, but the point still stands.

To be fair, it's not the best for power users - Synology doesn't expect (and possibly discourages) users to administer from the command line. The way it does things can also be opaque, such as the "Cloud Sync" and "Active Backup" suite of apps. You have to blindly trust that these closed-source apps are non-malicious, and somewhat free of backdoors.

That doesn't change the fact that these devices are absolutely fantastic for small to medium sized business, which need cost-effective resources and file backup strategies or risk exponential losses.

OpenVPN if you need user auth.
WireGuard if you don't.

IPsec if you're a boomer. #sysadmin #networking #Linux #NeoV

Spent the day renovating the DTSK's server stack . . . I feel more accomplished in the last twelve hours than the last six months!!!

It's still nowhere near perfect, but many of the major issues have been squashed. Plus, I added a few (sleek-n'-sexy) cable managers that really brings the whole renno together!

Current issues are a dead NIC on one of my servers (of which I have a spare), a broken RS232 to USB cable, and a missing Mellanox-compatible SFP+ module. After those are dealt with?

Then the real fun begins :} #sysadmin #networking #Linux #NeoV

Heavy closed-source and restrictive licensing models/intellectual property protection is objectively bad for competition and end users alike.

I mentioned this earlier but I've been having way too much fun giving out IT and network infrastructure advice. So much so to the point it is eating significant chunks of my day . . .

If only there were some way to reformat this energy into something more . . . "digestible." Like some kind of . . . Motion picture . . .
