My old parents have been hacked/virus-ed for the nth time.
I have an old HP server.
I thought of rebuilding it with VMWare (free version) or Oracle virtualbox and having them use windows in a controlled environment. I would back it up and patch it, etc. Maybe they RDC to my server.
I assume I would need a Windows server license to allow multiple connections. (I could also use it for myself to host Plex media server.)
At a 10,000 foot level, is this possible or just a technology quagmire?
Super User SE might be a better place for this.
Anyway: Are they using it for anything windows-specific? My parents used to use my Linux-based computer for web browsing, now they use an Android tablet for the same. Running a virtualised Windows on top of the former could've been an alternative. Also, backing up and rolling back is easier if you use virtualisation, just use something else for permanent data storage. Maybe a remote storage with backup and rollback (for ransomware) either your own infrastucture or in the cloud. (like syncthing, owncloud, etc.)
I'm assuming here they don't have trade secrets or plans of a home-built nuclear plant or anything that kind.

I have a small django project running on my Ubuntu laptop; I am developing it with a friend. Since we live in different states I want him to be able to interact with my website outside my network since he's going to be helping me evaluate it on a daily or weekly basis.
I currently have a working apache2 server running my django website. I can't port forward because the internet in my campus apartment is managed by the building admin. It's nothing fancy, really, it's just a standard Spectrum router.
Is there a way I can port forward using only my Ubuntu Laptop?
I read this on quora:
https://www.quora.com/How-can-I-port-forward-in-Debian-based-Linux-without-router-or-using-cellular-data-or-portable-mobile-WiFi
and by the looks of it; this seems to be at the OS level? is that enough?
also, would I be able to do this method on any standard network I connect? like my grandma's?
Any guidance is appreciated
I sorry if I am not understanding correctly, you have internet access but not admin control of the router? you could still port traffic to your apache server but network firewalls would probably stop you on that one.
I would highly recommend google colab I think it would be your best choice as you could sync your hard drives source to google colab for your buddy to check in on your coding...

Hi i was discussing the "on premises data-gateway" with a colleague and we where discussing whether the gateway had to be installed in every instance of a on premises system or it only had to be installed in one throughout the network for the system.
We had some different understanding regarding the documentation specified.
He understood it that installing it on a test server/instance it would be able to reach a database in another "virtual" system in that server.
I had the one understanding that it should be installed in every virtual system where you have a DB you want to reach?
Is there any clarification around this that we have missed?
Hope i made myself somewhat clear on what i'm asking? And please excuse the question if its written in clear text somewhere, we both must have missed it, if so sorry for that...
as per document although intended for analysis services, which is practically the same with other services as well,
source: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/analysis-services/analysis-services-gateway
The on-premise data gateway needs to be installed for each instance of Azure Analysis Services server. In short, if you have two servers that connects to on-premise data sources, you will need two data gateway as well.
In this premise, we both have the same understanding that it needs to be installed for each instance that you need to connect.

Just been reading about this potentially serious Linux based bug. It would seem that Azure should be on the safe side, as being Windows based, and most likely quickly patched, as that is why we use Platform As A Service (PAAS).
For anybody wondering what this is all about Try Hunt has a good article at: Troy Hunt's Article
Any comments from anyone on this, or pointers?
Thanks.
Azure WebSites is safe with respect to ShellShock. Azure WebSites uses IIS as our web server and we do not expose any external anonymously-accessible endpoint which exposes/calls Bash.
Note that we do install Bash as part of our VM installation (it comes with Git). But we do not expose any vector for calling into this shell remote/anonymously. We will be updating Bash for caution-sake.

My question is related to my grade project. Its about mobile video transmission using DVB-H link layer. Its a comprehensive project itself, and there are separate parts. I mainly construct system in Matlab Simulink, but there is one part, responsible for encapsulation/decapsulation of the stream packet, which was designed in Linux environment.
I didn't want to install new OS just for one application, so I run Linux on VMware Player as a virtual machine. So here is my problem - the applications (for encapsulation and decapsulation) won't compile (install) completely. I see mainly missing library problems. I tried to install necessary libraries, but the original application still couldn't see some of them. I feel like I'm missing something small, but clear to rather experienced Linux user. Here is the link to the programs
http://sp.cs.tut.fi/mobile3dtv/download/
"DECAPS - DVB-H Decapsulator Software" is the one (and FATCAPS link is there).
I couldn't find alternative encapsulator/decapsulator in for Windows environment. Its my last and only choice. If please some of the Linux users could try to run them in Linux environment, maybe its because I'm using virtual machine? Its also noted that the application was designed for Debian based systems, but I also did install Debian as a virtual machine and application won't even configure. Please help, guys, I'm really stuck here.
You'll probably need to install the development versions of the libraries -- under Debian, the'll be named the same as the original package, but with a "-dev" suffix.

Are there any minimum server requirements for using Apache SVN? If not, what are some general server specifications used for Apache SVN? Any information on server capacities for Apache SVN would be appreciated!
As long as your team is not extremely large, a very decent server is enough. Even a virtual server with about 1 virtual CPU and 1GB RAM running on a decent real CPU is enough. I'd say it doesn't need to be any faster than a server you'd use as a file server.
I'm using it myself on a very limited v-server and it works very well.
I have yet to find an Apache httpd configured Subversion server that's underpowered. Subversion itself doesn't take up a lot of bandwidth. I would still suggest that the server be dedicated. It isn't that Subversion sucks up a lot of power. More likely, whatever else you do will suck up too much power, and it will slow down Subversion. I was at one site that kept on piling more stuff onto the Subversion server (including database services) and then ware upset that Subversion was slow. Everything on that machine was slow.
The main concern would be bandwidth which seems to matter much more than the server itself. Also, be careful with NFS mounted disks (although Netapps seem fine).
I found this http://subversion.apache.org/faq.html#server-requirements but it's probably not enough detail.
