http 400 error when using nginx reverse proxy

14 June 2026 @ 6:05 pm

I have set up nginx to reverse to several OLD APC webadmin http pages with no issues. when i used modern things like homeassistant things start getting stupid. i am currently getting a 400 error for home assistant with the same config i have for the apc's i am not seeing any thing obvious in the logs. though I am new to nginx so im not sure what im looking for. upstream homeassistant_app { server 10.1.2.136:8123; # Your application server } server { listen 80; server_name homeassistant.linux2themax.com; Redirect HTTP to HTTPS return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri; } server { listen 443 ssl http2; server_name homeassistant.linux2themax.com; SSL configuration (certificates managed separately) ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/certs/homeassistant.pem; ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/certs/homeassistant.key; Security headers add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN" always; add_header

SPF hardening - can I remove mx/ip6/ip4 and go DKIM-only?

14 June 2026 @ 6:28 am

I am wondering how feasible it is to send email with a DKIM-only setup, with an SPF record of v=spf1 -all. If my DMARC policy requires DKIM alignment then recipients who understand DMARC will still accept my mails. Recipients who don't do DMARC but do process SPF would reject them. Is anything known about how common such recipients are in the real world? I suppose I'd get a lot of 'SPF alignment fail' reports that I'd have to ignore. On the other hand, I'd be protected against the risk of sending email that isn't DKIM-signed for some reason. It's a shame you can't express "don't bother with SPF, only consider the DKIM result" in a DMARC policy.

Can a managed Google Workspace account work natively in an Intune-managed Android work profile, or is Google's own EMM required?

13 June 2026 @ 9:29 pm

Environment: Microsoft Intune manages Android Enterprise personally-owned work profiles. Identity/productivity is Google Workspace on a managed Google domain, federated to Microsoft Entra (OIDC SSO). Goal: users use native Google Drive/Gmail in the work profile, signed in with their Workspace account. Symptom: the Workspace account can be added to the work profile (device restriction "Add and remove accounts = Allow all account types" + domain allow-list) and sign-in completes via the Entra redirect, but it never becomes functional: Google Play services raises a recurring "Account action required" notification that taps through to Company Portal and resolves nothing; Chrome "verify that it's you" never clears; Google Drive opens but returns no files. Already ruled out: GEM set to Unmanaged for the OU; OIDC SSO assigned and working; Google 2-Step Verifi

How to run an SSH server in Docker and on the host machine on the same port?

13 June 2026 @ 10:43 am

Is it possible to bounce packets sent to git@ip to the Docker container, or something, such that I can connect to either server without changing the port?

MegaRAID 9580-8i8e hangs at POST code 0xAD after firmware update with dual-path SAS JBODs

12 June 2026 @ 9:02 am

We are running an ASUS RS720-E11 server (Z13PP-D32 motherboard, pure UEFI mode) with a Broadcom MegaRAID 9580-8i8e controller. The OS (Rocky Linux 8.10, kernel 4.18.0) is installed on an internal RAID1 VD consisting of two Intel SATA SSDs managed by the controller. Two Supermicro JBOD shelves containing 82x 18TB Toshiba SAS HDDs are connected via the external 8e port. 9580-8i8e ├── Cable 1 → Input port, JBOD shelf 1 └── Cable 2 → Input port, JBOD shelf 1 └── Output port → Input port, JBOD shelf 2 Problem After updating the MegaRAID 9580-8i8e firmware package from 7.36 (52.36.0-6528) to 7.37 (52.37.0-6663) and the ASUS RS720-E11 server BIOS, the server no longer boots when both SAS cables are attached.

Linux nft firewall: overlapping set elements

12 June 2026 @ 9:00 am

I have a question regarding overlapping elements in nft firewall sets. Let's have a set: table ip filter { set iponly { type iface_index . ipv4_addr flags interval elements = { eth0 . 10.1.1.100, eth0 . 10.1.1.4/30, eth0 . 10.1.1.0/24, } } } This works. But if I use sub-networks with the same network numbers or broadcast: eth0 . 10.1.1.100, eth0 . 10.1.1.0/30, eth0 . 10.1.1.252/30, eth0 . 10.1.1.0/24, I get an error: x.nft:13:21-38: Error: Could not process rule: File exists eth0 . 10.1.1.0/24, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Networks 10.1.1.0/30 and 10.1.1.0/24 have the same network number, networks 10.1.1.252/30 and 10.1.1.0/24 have the same broadcast.

PHP code cannot connect to NetworkManager

11 June 2026 @ 12:33 pm

I need to access Network Manager functionality from PHP code by exec()-ing the "nmcli" command. However, when run from PHP code, "nmcli" command returns the error message "Network Manager is not running" and does nothing. Network Manager is running and I can successfully run "nmcli" command from the command line even as the Apache user. I suspected it has something to do with the lack of DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment variable in the environment in which PHP is running (and of course lack of the actual socket this variable points to) but probably it's not that issue, because when I run the "nmcli" command from command line with strace, I can see that it doesn't access that socket at all. I suspected some SELinux issue, but I don't see any recent denials in the audit logs. I don't know where to search. It's a standard Apache/PHP (FPM) installation on a RHEL10 OS. Edit: The problem is

Intel AMT/vPro enters power save mode after one minute of inactivity becomes unresponsive

11 June 2026 @ 6:52 am

An industrial mini-PC has Gen 15 Intel Core Ultra 7 155H CPU. It has vPro/AMT onboard and i226-LM NIC. The goal is to use AMT/vPro in CCM mode for remote power control of the PC. This technology already works on similar mini-PC configurations based on Intel Core CPUs of gen 6-13. (I did not test it on CPU before Gen 6 and on Gen 14). The status of Gen 15 mini-PC is: AMT FW Core Version: 18.0.5. This is greater that AMT release 9.5. AMT is set with static IP/netmask. AMT is able to execute a PC power cycle by HTTPS request. The Mini-PC is NOT mobile device. The Wake on LAN is disabled in all mini-PC generations in use. The problem is: After not being used for 1 minute or so, the AMT stops responding to HTTPS request and even to ping. It resumes the work (responding to HTTPS and ping) after someone starts using the PC or immediately after power cycle. The difference in hardware, s

NetBox at 10: Network inventory tool now a full infrastructure intelligence platform

12 June 2026 @ 3:53 pm

NetBox was not originally designed to manage AI infrastructure. When the project was first released as an open source tool in 2016, the goal was straightforward: Give network teams a reliable record of what was on the network. The project spread well beyond that original scope. It is now embedded across more than 10,000 organizations, from enterprise networks to AI data centers running some of the most demanding infrastructure builds in the industry.  As the technology marks its 10-year anniversary, NetBox Labs is expanding the platform further

How Jeetu Patel made Cisco unrecognizable

12 June 2026 @ 3:20 pm

Cisco Live 2026 is in the books, and it was “prove it” time for a promise made 24 months ago. At Cisco Live 2024, Chief Product Officer Jeetu Patel promised that Cisco would be unrecognizable as a company—in a positive way—in two years. The innovation payload at the event suggests he has largely delivered on that pledge. Cisco is repositioning itself from a holding company of products and dashboards to a unified, AI-native infrastructure platform, with Cloud Control as the control plane, Cisco IQ as the CX brain, and Secure Networking as the glue binding it all together. The shift is not just about new

Amazon claims its data centers are 7x more water-efficient than the industry average

12 June 2026 @ 12:57 am

As they face increasing backlash over their resource consumption, major data center operators are scrambling to prove they’re not a drain on the environment, or, at least, not as much of one as their competition. Amazon has published some bold new claims to this end: The tech giant says it has achieved a 52% improvement in water efficiency over the last 5 years, and says its data centers are 7x more water-efficient than the industry average. This, the company says, is thanks to a mix of innovative methods, including free air and evaporative cooling, and increased temperature thresholds. The announcement underscores the importance of disclosure in the AI era, and si

Marvell announces 102.4 Tbps switch silicon built for AI

11 June 2026 @ 7:42 pm

Marvell Technology says its newly unveiled Teralynx T100 is the industry’s first 102.4 Tbps switch silicon purpose-built for AI. The Teralynx T100 was architected for AI, with low power consumption and low latency at this bandwidth tier, to address critical bottlenecks in today’s large clusters. Data movement has become an important concern in modern AI data centers. In the past, a cluster of a few servers could adequately handle back-office applications and databases. But with AI’s gigantic models, all sections of the data center need to move and receive data at high speeds. That requires a lot more power use than in the past. GPU- and XPU-based systems are ap

AI-powered WAF, virtual patching: How F5 is hardening networks against frontier threats

A quick look at Cisco’s strategy to become a software monster

10 June 2026 @ 7:47 pm

Cisco is in the years-long process of shifting from a hardware-centric business focused on switches and routers toward a broader software and services strategy, aiming to position itself as a central player in cloud, security, and AI-driven networking. Cisco remains a dominant hardware vendor but has spent recent years investing heavily in software to build recurring revenue streams, said Jack Gold, president of J.Gold Associates. In fact in its Q3 earnings call in May, Cisco said that 49% of total quarterly

Residential proxies are hiding in plain sight inside enterprise networks

10 June 2026 @ 2:06 pm

Residential proxy services route internet traffic through consumer devices to make connections appear to originate from real home IP addresses. Security researchers have tracked their use by threat actors for credential stuffing, ad fraud, and denial-of-service operations. What has been less understood is how widely those services have already penetrated enterprise networks, often without IT or security teams knowing. As it turns out, the risks posed by residential proxies to enterprise networks are widespread. Infoblox analyzed billions of DNS resolutions across its Threat Defense Cloud customer base and revealed just how a big a pro

OpenAI weighs Nvidia-backed lease for 10 GW Ohio data center campus

10 June 2026 @ 12:18 pm

OpenAI is reportedly in advanced talks to lease a proposed 10-gigawatt data center campus in southern Ohio in an arrangement that could include financial backing from Nvidia. The campus could cost at least $500 billion to build at current prices for chips, power, and construction, The Information reported, citing people familiar with the discussions. OpenAI would control the computing equipment under a 20-year lease and begin payments once the site starts operating, with the first phase expected in 2028. Nvidia is expect
