Unable to login into User Account through Anydesk on Ubuntu 20
cn flag

I have an Ubuntu 20 system runnning Anydesk. The system is in headless mode with a dummy video sink defined. What I have noticed running Anydesk is that I can create an Anydesk connection to the computer, but as soon as I enter my user's password, the Ubuntu screen doesn't unlock. The login doesn't fail either. So I obviously have a bug. That being said, I did configure my Ubuntu instance to auto login  ...

Everything is working fine so far, I have my UI on said domain secured with a custom certificate. I started encountering problems when trying to connect my agents (or slaves I read elsewhere?) to the server.

domain ownership verification in OIDC
cn flag

I am building an application where we want to allow our users to sign in using their own IDPs, and we're using okta.

We don't want our users to have to:

  • Create all their organization users manually
  • Be dependent on SCIM (or any other synchronization)
  • Maintain many users that most of them will probably not use our system

Since our user ids are email addresses and all of our customers are enterprises, we ...

To make the backup I authenticate with Google Cloud Platform using the command: gcloud auth activate-service-account --key-file /path/to/keyfile.json

After authenticating I use the command: gcloud sql backups ...

ru flag

I've a certificate under the Runtime_Transport_Store_X Certificate store that has expired and I cannot see what it's being used against.

There's no documentation under Microsoft regarding this, therefore, I'm just wondering if it is safe to ignore?

Linux: Is it possible to use the ssh key pair instead or in addition to the root privileges?
id flag

I'm facing the problem of securing an embedded platform. All ssh hardening have been setup, including 2 factor authentication and login with ssh key pairs.

Now, the root and user passwords are ridiculous easy to crack, all you need is physical access to the device, leaving all measures and precautions redundant. My idea is to harden the root access with the same techniques as ssh.(hardening the s ...

I have a kafka cluster running on an integration Kubernetes cluster with 3 Kafka brokers and 3 Zookeepers, each component running in a statefulset. The helm chart I use to deploy the cluster is a custom one as I needed external access to the cluster through a BigIp F5 and did not find a helm chart doing this.

The Stunning Power of Questions

Much of an executive’s workday is spent asking others for information—requesting status updates from a team leader, for example, or questioning a counterpart in a tense negotiation. Yet unlike professionals such as litigators, journalists, and doctors, who are taught how to ask questions as an essential part of their training, few executives think of questioning as a skill that can be honed—or consider how their own answers to questions could make conversations more productive.

That’s a missed opportunity. Questioning is a uniquely powerful tool for unlocking value in organizations: It spurs learning and the exchange of ideas, it fuels innovation and performance improvement, it builds rapport and trust among team members. And it can mitigate business risk by uncovering unforeseen pitfalls and hazards.

For some people, questioning comes easily. Their natural inquisitiveness, emotional intelligence, and ability to read people put the ideal question on the tip of their tongue. But most of us don’t ask enough questions, nor do we pose our inquiries in an optimal way.

The good news is that by asking questions, we naturally improve our emotional intelligence, which in turn makes us better questioners—a virtuous cycle. In this article, we draw on insights from behavioral science research to explore how the way we frame questions and choose to answer our counterparts can influence the outcome of conversations. We offer guidance for choosing the best type, tone, sequence, and framing of questions and for deciding what and how much information to share to reap the most benefit from our interactions, not just for ourselves but for our organizations.
