I just left one company as, despite me implementing a low cost solution for interfacing our existing ancient databases with AI through an API, they decided to hire a consultant, an out of work academic who insisted we needed MS Fabric. Old colleagues tell me he can’t get even basic things working and it’s probably going to take years for him to get anything close to what I built. My new company is similar in that they paid hundreds of thousands to setup a databricks environment, yet no one is really using it or has any good ideas for it, except “AI agents!!” submitted by /u/xmasnintendo [link] [comments]

We have historically had external filesharing disabled in our M365 tenant for security purposes. We are getting more and more request to enable the feature. I'm currently in discussions with leadership about the security implications of enabling external sharing. There is a business need for it and not enabling it is leading to shadow IT workarounds. I'd like to take r/sysadmin 's pulse on this topic. Is it enabled in your org do you do any active monitoring of files shared outside the org? submitted by /u/jstar77 [link] [comments]

Hi everyone trying to add the Checkpoint Data Connector CCF in Sentinel, I followed the procedure went on Harmony and Created 2 API key 1 for Hamony and 1 for Log as a Service Went to sentinel and added the connection with the info in the good lines, when I clicked saved it said Failed too many requests. The Table CheckpointEmailSecurityEventCL then connected green and started injecting Data The other 3 EmailsecurityPhishingExeptions, SecuritySpamExeptions and SecurityAuditLogs all stayed Grayed Disconnected. I check today the CheckpointEmaiSecurityEventCL is now Grey like it was disconnected and it says we got 10M logs, but the connector itself is Green Connected Anything I can do to check or I have to call Checkpoint? Please note the API keys are valid and I put an expiration date of 2032 Thanks Edit forgot to say, in the connector itself Iit says last log received -- and if I query the CheckpointMailSecurityEventsCL take last log is almost 24h ago with Graymail submitted by /u/neko_whippet [link] [comments]

Hi, any sites to purchase fully configured server hardware for a low price (I mean as cheap as it's possible in this market lol)

Hey, If you are bored and wanna play around with a LXC container: https://microlxc.net/ Currently AU, NZ, JP, NL, LA, SG, NO, and ZA are available, you can pick between 256 and 1024MB packages. As usual some requirements apply: Your account needs to be 3 months old You need to have at least 50 Posts You need to have at least 50 Likes If you meet these, you can go on the website, and to verify that you are you, you need to post the token that will be given to you in this thread. The Bot will do the rest. If stuff goes well, it will be publicly soon. Please report bugs and suggestions. PS: IPv6 is DHCP based in AU & CH but JP & LA needs Static config, which is automatically configured on Debian & Devuan but not on CentOS/Ubuntu needs to be done by hand yet. You can find your IPv6 in the Panel just substract -1 for the Gateway.

our company has grown to about 150 people and the informal approach to it decision making that worked at 30 people is starting to create real problems. projects get approved without proper scrutiny, priorities conflict with each other, and nobody has a clear picture of what is actually in flight at any given time looking at governance frameworks but everything seems designed for either very small teams or large enterprises with dedicated governance functions. trying to find something that adds enough structure to solve the actual problems without creating a bureaucracy that slows everything down for companies at a similar stage, what worked and what turned out to be overkill submitted by /u/AdorableRope3117 [link] [comments]

Critical VMware vulnerabilities: patch vCenter and ESXi as soon as possible Broadcom has published VMSA-2026-0006 , addressing five vulnerabilities affecting VMware vCenter, ESXi, Workstation and Fusion. The most serious issues have a CVSS score of 9.8 and can potentially be exploited remotely by an attacker with network access to vCenter. Most important vulnerabilities CVE-2026-59309 — vCenter authentication bypass A vulnerability in VMware Directory Service may allow an attacker with network access to vCenter to: Bypass authentication Gain unauthorized access to vCenter Access the system without valid credentials Severity: Critical CVSS: 9.8 CVE-2026-59310 — vCenter remote code execution A directory-traversal vulnerability in the vCenter Syslog server may allow an unauthenticated attacker with network access to: Traverse directories Execute arbitrary code on vCenter Severity: Critical CVSS: 9.8 CVE-2026-47876 — ESXi host code execution through VMXNET3 An out-of-bounds write in the VMXNET3 virtual network adapter may allow an attacker with local administrative access to a VM to: Escape the affected VM context Execute code on the ESXi host Only virtual machines using a VMXNET3 network adapter are affected by this vulnerability. Note: You might suspect you need to update VMWare Tools but this is not required according to this FAQ Severity: Critical CVSS: 9.3 CVE-2026-41703 — information disclosure or host-process DoS An out-of-bounds read affecting ESXi, Workstation and Fusion may allow someone with VM deployment privileges to: Disclose information Cause a denial of service of the host process For Workstation and Fusion, Broadcom states that the impact is limited to information disclosure. Severity: Important on ESXi CVSS: Up to 7.6 CVE-2026-41709 — insufficient ESXi logging A malicious administrator may be able to perform certain operations without those actions being properly logged. Severity: Low CVSS: 2.7 Fixed versions For VMware vSphere 8 environments: Product Fixed version VMware vCenter 8.0 8.0 Update 3k VMware ESXi 8.0 8.0 Update 3k For VMware 9 environments: Product Fixed version VMware vCenter 9.1 9.1.0.0300 VMware vCenter 9.0 9.0.2.0100 VMware ESXi 9.1 9.1.0.0200 VMware ESXi 9.0 9.0.2.0100 Workstation and Fusion 25H2 users should update to 26H1 . Older VMware Cloud Foundation and Telco Cloud environments may require an asynchronous patch or product-specific update procedure. Important Broadcom lists no workarounds for these vulnerabilities. Restricting access to vCenter remains a useful security measure, but it does not replace installing the patches. Because the two vCenter vulnerabilities can be exploited by an unauthenticated attacker with network access, updating externally reachable or broadly accessible vCenter systems should be treated as a priority.

FastAPI JWT authentication suddenly stopped working only in deployment after working two days ago. How can I debug the production server?

Just a headsup , getting 401 errors from a few users that rely on pages using it. Oddly enough ARM devices are not showing that issue, so it may be coupled with some Windows component. submitted by /u/autogyrophilia [link] [comments]

Got a chuckle when this popped up. Have to wonder if this is them being proactive, or a response to a specific incident. My bet is on the latter.

So i started my aprenticeship in the area sysadmin which included works in networking, it infrastructure, maintenance and updates, 2/3-Level Support and so on. I really loved it and i love tinkering and trying stuff out and learning something new. After i left my company (i didnt like how they worked) i started at a little IT-Consulting company and we mostly work with companys who want to automate or improve their it processes. I like to learn how to structure and organize processes and think of a better way to do them. The more i look at the tasks and the market i see so many possibilities for the future and how i can improve in this type of work. This is really nice and it pays well. But what about my love for tinkering. Can i invest into tech and still get a well payed job where i can improve and wont be put into the same tasks for 20 years? I hope i explained well what i mean. Does anyone have experience in that? submitted by /u/MMemoryy [link] [comments]

Hi, I wanted to learn about GCP so i started the 300$, i had some personal projects, i set up an infrastructure, some vm, and i thought nothing about it, thinking that maybe when the 300$ is gone, i will get an email or notification that i spent the free credits and that i will be on the paid plan.Nothing next thing i know i got charged 50$. I am unemployed had been so for 8 months now. And i squeeze my savings tight. This bill wasn't expected i emailed the support they told me to wait i waited some 3 days and nothing then another week then they sent email telling me that i had been granted 20$ in credits,but no monetary refund. this was early july this month.During this i had deleted billing account, then another one, and i deleted the Vms the platform is not really user friendly it's hard to navigate for beginners. Yesterday i was charged 100$ I dont know what to do, i contacted them they said wait for 32 hours. This is just unacceptable and i feel scammed. submitted by /u/Haunting-Lettuce-660 [link] [comments]

It is this time of year when LW increase prices. Each year they do that on larger or smaller scale. This time it is ULTRA massive (~20% overall increase). https://blog.leaseweb.com/2026/07/28/vps-price-increases-are-coming-for-new-contracts-in-2026 If you have contract - it is time to extend it to max 3 years term. Good luck with your endeavour.
