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

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

My apologies if this isn't the right forum. I have a friend who has been out of the labor force for more than ten years caring for a family member. Although he's never worked in IT, he's intensely interested in hardware and network infrastructure, having spent much of his free time building Linux servers, setting up home networks, tinkering with virtualization, etc. Now that he's preparing to return to work it occurred to me that he might be able to turn his hobby into a livelihood. He's in North Carolina's Piedmont Triad where there are a number of data centers, and I'm hoping to find recommendations and resources he can use to make himself a good candidate for entry-level job openings. Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to copy files using robocopy /copy:datso from Windows Server 2008 R2 to Solaris 11.4 share (ZFS). When copying Favorites folders I get "Invalid parameter" error. This folder has ACL with S-1-15-3- SIDs (capability SID) and they are not copied. Tried to copy the folder with FAR and got same error (if "Copy ACLs" is choosen). In the same time I have linux fileserver and see that it serves such ACLs (but its samba settings and ACL storage is very different). Does Solaris support such SIDs and if yes how it can be enabled?

I need to provide a clear, definitive answer to a concern raised by non‑technical managers. The environment is fully cloud‑based: Intune, Autopilot, OneDrive, SharePoint, M365, encrypted local copies, and users trained not to store local data. Is there any real risk of confidential data(*) appearing on screen during the reconditioning of a laptop (re-imaging or AutoPilot reset) for device reassignment? Have you ever seen sensitive information appear on screen during such operations? Can a device reset cause data from the previous user to reappear? I’m not asking about internal procedures — only whether, in such a cloud‑only scenario, a reset could display any previous user data on screen at any point during the process. I’m turning to the community for two reasons: My own explanation isn’t being given much weight. I want to make sure I’m not overlooking any unusu

I'm setting up a new server to replace a quite old one. The old server was running PHP as Apache module, while on the new server PHP runs as FPM by default (the OS is RHEL10, standard Apache and PHP packages installed). With default setup, the PHP errors go to /var/log/php-fpm/www-error.log file. However, messages written from PHP to stderr don't. I have set catch_workers_output = yes in the config file /etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf (according to comments in that file), then - just to be sure - fully stopped both Apache and PHP-FPM services and started them again. However, with the following PHP code: error_log("before"); system("bad_command"); error_log("after"); $err = fopen('php://stderr', 'w'); fwrite($err, "stderr test\n"); fclose($err); the lines "before" and "after" appear in /var/log/php-fpm/www-error.log, but neither error m

I am running a pfSense firewall (2.8.1-RELEASE, FreeBSD 15) hosted on a cloud VM. I have configured an OpenVPN server to allow remote users to connect from multiple geographically distributed sites. Each user group consists of multiple PCs, and they connect using the same VPN credentials. I need to ensure that: Multiple devices can connect simultaneously using the same VPN user account Each user group is restricted to accessing only their assigned server Each user group should ideally have a fixed VPN IP for firewall rules Different user groups should not access each other’s database servers Current Setup pfSense OpenVPN server (remote access mode) Multiple user groups (each group shares one VPN account across multiple machines) Backend infrastructure consists of several database servers distributed across different subnets OpenVPN tunnel network configured “Allow mult

I have a fleet of legacy IoT devices that trust only the root certificate: Starfield Class 2 Certification Authority I need to host a temporary HTTPS endpoint for a one-time firmware update, but the devices cannot be updated until they can successfully validate a server certificate. Does anyone know of a public CA that still issues certificates whose chain can be validated using Starfield Class 2 Certification Authority, or offers a legacy/alternate chain compatible with that root? This is for embedded device compatibility, not browser compatibility.

So I have this legacy system that is being migrated to a new architecture. The database stores passwords as plain MD5 hashes, as in passwordhash = md5('plaintext') Yes, I know this is insecure, I will have to live with that for now. The system runs Apache 2.2 with the mod_auth_mysql module. The HTTP authentication configuration looks like this: AuthType basic AuthMYSQLEnable On AuthMySQLHost dbserver ... AuthMySQLPwEncryption md5 This setup apparently supports plain md5 password hashes for authentication. It appears that in Apache 2.4 the authentication architecture has changed, and I have found no way to specify legacy MD5 password hashes for HTTP authentication. It is my understanding that the so-called MD5 hash in Apache 2.4 basic authentication is an apache specific algorithm, so it fails against plain MD5 hashes. The same goes for digest authentication. Any idea how to get A

We're building a job board on Node.js + PostgreSQL, hosted on Hetzner VPS in Central Europe. Text-only listings, no media. Core features: job listings, search, filtering, employer/candidate messaging. We're trying to understand the realistic scaling journey and costs. Would love to hear from anyone who's run something similar. 5k – 50k monthly users What Hetzner VPS size makes sense to start? (CX22 = 2 vCPU, 4GB RAM, ~4 EUR/month) Single VPS for everything or separate DB server from day one? What hits the ceiling first – CPU, RAM, or database connections? 50k – 300k monthly users When do you split the DB to a separate server? When does Redis caching become necessary? Real-world Node.js gotchas in production – memory leaks, connection pool exhaustion? 300k – 1M monthly users When do you add a second app server + load balancer? How do you handle unexpected t
