The Spector series are designed for executives. They look pretty, have decent specs, and have a price tag to match.

Thanks for posting this!

@Dashrender The app doesn't have ads 🙂

Grafana is pretty cool looking.

Here's a simple dashboard I built for a few VMs at home to show load.

This is a really detailed one that is tabbed. I couldn't possible show all of it.

@wirestyle22 But your drill sergeant would want you on the team always so do not lose sleep over it 🙂

Good to know.

Thanks

What questions and answers brought you to use ESXi? Did you purchase ESXi or are you using the free version?

Titles don't matter that much except for companies that literally base your pay range on it. If they are going to do that, then fight for the best paying title!

And yes, I do work for a comp that does it. I started as "IT Helpdesk" and could not get my title changed even once I began supporting Linux web servers and doing all the purchasing and essentially being responsible for all-the-things.
The person before me who remained on staff for a while was called "IT Coordinator", whatever that means.

Eventually I had to write like a 6 page letter explaining what I do and what titles actually mean and finally got my title approved to be "IT Systems Administrator" (a most appropriate and generic title for my position and duties). And then negotiated my pay as a separate thing. Plus I like calling myself a "SysAdmin" and can celebrate national SysAdmin Day.

What's funny is that when my boss would send phone calls or emails to me to do things, he would use important-sounding titles to look impressive to the other person. Like "I'll pass you on to our CTO to handle that" even though I'm no such thing, lol

Loving the Marvin Gaye reference in the title.

@NetworkNerd said in SuiteCRM - install guide, anyone?:

I didn't make an install guide for Linux, but I made one for Windows using Bitnami and thought I would post here - http://blog.thenetworknerd.com/2017/06/12/how-suite-it-is-suitecrm-and-bitnami.

But definitely do NOT install that on Windows. Not only is it costly and bloated so not good from just a general standpoint, but the key components of the system like MariaDB and PHP do not run efficiently on Windows and are not tuned for it. So even if you could get Windows for free and dedupe it like crazy to make it more lean, it will still run like total crap compared to a smaller Linux instance. This is one of the best known workloads that should never appear on Windows, it makes zero sense as the "premium" of Windows is totally lost here and turns into all negative.

@NerdyDad said in Laptop suggestions/advice, or connections for purchase in DFW:

If you go to Fry's, stay clear told the sales people. They know less than you do. Check out what they have, read the specs, and test it out. Whatever they do buy, I suggest just wiping out the Windows install with some form of Linux.

Stay away from Best buy, of course. Microcenter might be a good bet, but I've never been in there. Pawn shops and local eBay would be some of my last contenders to consider.

They bait and switch too. They also lie about used products and pretend that they are new.

@brianlittlejohn Decided to blow mine away and rebuild then ran into the issue you mention after not being able to access the controller. nice find on your other thread.

And then they make whatever need that is sound general and ubiquitous. Same trick, but way more powerful, than what FreeNAS does. FreeNAS says "to get X you need to do Y" but don't mention that X isn't something you want, they present it as a foregone conclusion and people just get suckered right into that. At least FreeNAS never pretends to be neutral or giving advice. People just convince themselves of that.

@scottalanmiller it will be good , but this integration means that NextCloud can send mails from zimbra smtp connector ?

It can already do that. Currently Zimbra integrates into NextCloud. But in Zimbra 8.8 which releases soon, NextCloud integrates into Zimbra.

So we can integrate with the Zimbra LDAP with NextCloud
Right ?

Yes. Zimbra uses OpenLDAP I believe. Or they can both talk to Active Directory.

Nice , this will make the login to the NextCloud as " [email protected] " and the same password of his mail account

Correct, that should work fine. I've not tried it, but no reason it should not work.

I will try with OpenLDAP " Mainly FreeIPA " then try with Zimbra

The find command is all you need on Linux.

Systemd's systemd-tmpfiles-clean service is a good utility too.

@matteo-nunziati said in Sizing the SOHO, SMB, SME, Enterprise and Other Markets:

SME: 2,000 - 5,000 people. True business with stable finances and acts like a true business, just one that is very small.

over 250, management starts apperaing but not so much levels.

Medium: 5000 - 10,000 people. No longer small in any way, not a sizeable company needing serious services. Large: 10000 - 20,000 people. A serious company but not large enough to through its weight around based on a famous name. Enterprise: 20,000+ people. Those on the Fortune 1000 list or just missing it. Big, well known companies with tons of resources where they are big enough to have entire IT stacks internally, you don't need to hop between companies to move up the ladder, there is total efficiency of scale opportunity, etc.

this is far from my perception.

IBM considers SMB to be 500 - 10,000 or something like that. Under 500 they don't even consider to be a "business".

Is IBM a good bench mark?

No, horrible. but it's important to understand that big portions of the industry think that we see things in the opposite skew than we tend to think that we are doing.

My limits are extracted from italian accounting and fiscal law. They fit quite well with behaviur change in organizations here.

@NDC said in Visio 2016 Installation Error:

Microsoft still recommends 32bit for cross app and plugin compatibility reasons. I'm not sure I've encountered a situation where that actually ended up being important though. At least not in the last few years.

@scottalanmiller said in Visio 2016 Installation Error:

Is that really true today? What's the advantage to the lower version?

Compatibility with other applications.

Is that true across the board? Everything I run tends to be 64bit. I've not run 32bit Office in a long time, what would it be incompatible with?

Probably goofy internally built nonsense, addons from small developers who don't update often or at all etc. Nothing I've run into has been a problem though. At least not since the 2010 days. Maybe not even then.

My recommendation is to avoid that crap 🙂 Run 64bit Office and weed out the garbage you shouldn't have installed!

That's just weird.

How so? Each DID is independent of the B channel, so I can have a multitude of DIDs and only a few B channels if so desired.

Except it's a weird pairing. If you wanted flexibility to sell one at a time. Not "almost every channel."

But it is a did not a number assigned to a channel.
