N-Central earlier today reported active exploitation and post exploitation actions of connections and persistence on managed RMM/client devices (cloudflare tunnels being installed on end user devices/servers) status page advisory includes hosted installs. Take your installs offline immediately and threat hunt. Earlier today n-central said servers on the latest release were safe but have updated the advisory to include the latest release and working on a new hotfix, keep an eye on https://uptime.n-able.com/ Current IOCs listed here, also affects hosted instances so monitor accordingly. Community information suggests that a n IOC maybe be if your server is suddenly showing as unlicensed. https://www.n-able.com/blog/n-central-security-update-august-1-2026 submitted by /u/dhuskl [link] [comments]

Windows Server Backup fails with "semaphore timeout" (0x8004245f) I'm using Windows Server 2022. At the beginning, full backups were no problem. Now, the first backup attempt fails with "Unknown error (0x8004245f)" / "The semaphore timeout period has expired." After it fails, if I run the backup again, it completes without any issues. But if I try to run another backup right after that success, it fails again. If I try to back up multiple drives, or do a full server backup, it fails. It only succeeds if I back up one drive at a time and even then, only after a failed attempt in between. I've restarted the server, and vssadmin list writers always shows everything stable. I've also tried backing up to both an external drive and a shared folder same issue either way. Does any one has the same issue? submitted by /u/Altruistic_Use820 [link] [comments]

Our new co-managed MSP recently swapped us to N-Able from our old MSP who used Ninja. After the swap, system performance has degraded significantly on machines. I’m the IT manager so I am keenly aware of the drop in how reliable and stable my system is. Is there any reason this would happen? Any other MSP experienced this before? submitted by /u/Old_Development_8122 [link] [comments]

Went through our subscriptions recently and realized we'd been paying for a couple of seats(zoom) belonging to people who left months ago. Nobody had a thought to cancel them, it just kept quitely billing. For those of you managing this, whats your actual process when someone leaves? A checklist someone remembers to run? something automated?or does it slip through the cracks sometimes too? Trying to figure out if im just disorganized or if this is normal. How do you handle it? submitted by /u/MooseSea6 [link] [comments]

I am deathly paranoid that my app might lose my customer's data, whether through a bug in my code or the works of a malicious actor. With RCPs I can easily set up guardrails so that even when I'm logged in as the account root user I can't delete data, even if I wanted to. Well-crafted RCPs (and SCPs) offer tremendous peace of mind. SCPs and RCPs can also help enforce "nothing gets deployed to prod except through CI/CD." If you have data that you absolutely positively cannot afford to use, you really should look into implementing SCPs and RCPs as part of your data protection strategy. And don't give me the "I only have one AWS account" excuse. Creating an additional AWS account and an AWS Organization is free. submitted by /u/ReturnOfNogginboink [link] [comments]

Outlook, mappings, printers, etc etc Join the PC to the domain (System > Rename this PC (advanced) > Change, or Add-Computer -DomainName domain.local -Restart ). Reboot. Run User Profile Wizard on the machine. Select the existing local profile (e.g., C:\Users\jsmith ), enter the domain account it should map to ( DOMAIN\jsmith ), and let it run. It can also do the domain join for you in one pass if you prefer. Log in as the domain user — they land in their exact same profile. submitted by /u/LoveBirdNibbles [link] [comments]

Legal killed the hosted video APIs. Nothing leaves the network. So I got handed the fun project: price out what it would cost to run video generation on our own hardware. License review first. Most of the open-weight models have terms that will not survive legal. Geographic exclusions, MAU thresholds, custom community clauses. Three passed on clean Apache 2.0: Wan 2.2, LingBot-Video-MoE (30B-A3B), and Mochi 1. Then the VRAM. For 1080p the pipeline runs the full weights twice, base then refinement. Base pass peaks at 123.3 GiB. The refinement stage peaks at 175.0 GiB, which is what forces you into a 180 GB card. One B200 handles it. No smaller single-card config has been shown to work. Current street on a B200 is $30K to $50K. Set up a Proxmox cluster to model full TCO: the card, power, cooling, rack, three-year amortization. What I brought back upstairs: per-clip through a hosted API still wins on cost unless volume crosses a level most shops never reach. The compliance mandate is the only thing that justifies the spend. Not the math. Budget request is in someone's inbox. Expecting the "can we do this cheaper" reply any day now. submitted by /u/Competitive_Long509 [link] [comments]

Anybody else having trouble accessing recovery keys from a Microsoft account. Page is stuck in a redirecting infinite loop. These would be easy to access for a work machine but something tripped Bitlocker on my bothers home computer and it wants the recovery key.

With AI-generated voice and video becoming much more convincing, it feels like relying on someone's voice or appearance is becoming less reliable for sensitive requests. I'm curious whether this has changed how your team handles things like password resets, wire transfer requests, account changes, or privileged access approvals. Have you updated your verification process because of AI-assisted impersonation, or are your existing procedures still working well? I'd be interested to hear what's actually been effective in real-world environments. submitted by /u/Lovely0Cloud [link] [comments]

Good morning, I am looking for some assistance to see if anyone else has figured out this issue. We're a GCC tenant currently getting sensitivity labels and MPIP set up. So far, things have been implemented okay minus a few snags. M365 products are working as intended, but the real stickler is Adobe. The initial issue was that any encrypted label we tried to apply or even switch to, it would not work. I found this Reddit post that called for enabling some registry keys . Things like adding bMIPLabelling, bMIPExternalAuthAdmin, bSilentAuth, iMIPCloud = 6, etc. However, that did not seem to allow us to add an encrypted label or even switch to one. Even forgetting the Purview information inside of the Adobe settings did not help. What I believe started helping was three or four things. Clearing the Purview information inside of Adobe, deleting the generic Adobe credentials, deleting the contents of %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\RMSLocalStorage\mip, and running icacls "%localappdata%\...\LocalLow\Microsoft\RMSLocalStorage" /setintegritylevel L. Seemed like that combination worked and I finally was able to authenticate through on a PDF, it grabbed my info, and allowed me to change to an encrypted label. However, the next document, it did not work. I was able to finagle the same steps above and it let me through on that one. So at this point, I'm trying to figure out how to prevent this from happening on every PDF instance. Logs have shown me that it likes to run MipContextImpl as configured for offline-only mode or tell me my cloud type is invalid. In Event viewer I see things like Token broker operation failed with AADST65002 error, or an OAuth response error: invalid_resource, service principal for resource 'urn:p2p_cert' is disabled. So at this point in time, I'm kind of stumped. I have a ticket to Adobe about this, but kind of unsure where to look next to keep this MPIP stable in each Adobe instance. The few that are good remain good and can be changed from secure to unsecure labels, but anybody have any clues on where I can look next? Thanks, all! submitted by /u/Popensquat01 [link] [comments]

Hi, I want to confirm that what I must know about networking that will help me in cloud, also if you can share a useful course or a document that covers it all, Kindly share it submitted by /u/Hassan_121 [link] [comments]

I've been renting dedicated servers in NL for a while, I'm loyal to my host but his responses have became slow and essentially scammy (for example 3 weeks without a server I paid for because he was too busy to add it to my dashboard...). I don't like the fact I'm paying for nothing in the long term, I'd prefer more of an investment and cheaper monthly costs. I have an interest in hosting, so I'd also enjoy the learning aspect. I want to purchase or lease-to-own 2 of the same servers, 1 to replace my current server and 1 for a new project. I pay €130/mo for the following: CPU: Xeon® Gold 6138 Memory: 128 GB DDR4 ECC Storage: 1 TB SSD Network: 10 Gbps Fair Use NIC: Intel X722 10GBPS It works well, but I have some new requirements: CPU can be switched with anything in the same sort of range, E5-2690v4, E5-2680v4, E5-2697v4, etc... Unmetered or 300TB traffic is necessary, atleast 1Gbps I need the possibility to switch to my own ASN/IPs in the future 2TB NVMe and maybe a bunch of SAS HDDs? Any country in Europe works for me. No budget in mind, but I'm aware of market averages. Please quote for any similar servers you have (outright purchase or LTO) along with the colo price for them Thanks!

Looking for some windows dedicated servers that can offer: Location: Preferrably Germany or Netherlands. RAM: 64 GB or more. CPU: AMD ryzen 9 7900 or better Storage: NVMe 256 GB+. Budget: Up to $100/ month.

Looking for provider with annual cheap plan: minimum 2tb bandwidth in month. Attractive price. Clear dedicated ipv4. No fraud block (Or Fraud score under 25%) 1gbit port. location: EU. (germany, sweden, latvia, estonia, poland, finland)

Looking for cheapish NAT VPS that can be purchased for half a year/year ~5/6$ 500-800Gb traffic, 152-196RAM, 5GB hdd, can be NAT, EU locations They die like flies (just 5 died this year) so I'm not interested in "le expensive but good solution" as it will die too (either on the seller's side or blocked by my government) Not interested in WebHorizon and their offshoots (NATVPS, etc) (terrible service, outright scam). Not interested in Khan and their offshoots (unusable uptime, constant blackouts)

I placed an order with Gorillaservers, but it was flagged as fraudulent. I submitted a support ticket but haven't received a response from customer service. What should I do?

Hi everyone, I'd like to introduce a "new" open-source project: Register-PanelLayer . Register-PanelLayer is a GDPR-compliant suite of self-service registration portals for various web hosting control panels, including DirectAdmin, cPanel, Plesk, HestiaCP, and more. The key feature is that the system operates entirely without its own database . Instead, it provisions accounts directly and securely through the native APIs of the supported control panels. Some of the portals are still under development, so we're currently looking for beta testers. We'd love for you to check it out! 🔗 Website & Live Demos: register.panellayer.com 🔗 GitHub: github.com/agxl Background: This project started as my final university assignment five years ago. Unfortunately, it received the lowest grade in the class, which meant I failed the course. Even so, I still believe the project has value, and it would be a wasted opportunity to leave it unused on my hard drive. That's why I've decided to release it as open source software. Disclaimer: AI was used to assist with parts of the translation and proofreading. Please keep in mind that both people and AI make mistakes. Legal Notice: Register-PanelLayer is an independent open-source project and is not affiliated with DirectAdmin, cPanel, Plesk, or any other hosting control panel vendor. It uses only publicly documented APIs. Users are responsible for operating the software in accordance with applicable laws, Terms of Service (ToS), and Acceptable Use Policies (AUP). The full legal notices and disclaimers are included in the project documentation. I'd really appreciate any feedback, suggestions, or bug reports! Greetings, Andy and Johanna ( @jjn )

Altho I’m an active lurker here, I’ve recently started using X to try and connect with people working in infra, platform engineering, and devops, but I’m finding it surprisingly difficult to discover that side of the community. But my feed is still mostly AI hype and general tech content, while I’m more interested in more informal discussions around k8s, ai & cloud infra, observability, networking, platform engineering, etc. For those of you who are active outside of Reddit, where do you usually discover good infra content or interact with other engineers? submitted by /u/sayori_hunter [link] [comments]
