  @scottalanmiller said in Non-IT News Thread: @JaredBusch said in Non-IT News Thread: Incorrect. Whoever posted that put the brackets around it and the empty parentheses after. That is intentionally a link to nowhere. It is 100% user error and no function of the platform. When you create the link but don't fill it in, as you describe, the behaviour of the platform is to send the link back to this thread. The point is why did the creator click the link button but not enter a URL. It is a user issue. If you are not going to use a URL, don’t click the fucking button.

  @JaredBusch said in Weekend Plans: @scotth said in Weekend Plans: EDIT: Bartlett <maybe Don> Bartlett. Isn't that who sponsors or puts on the waterski shows? Yes and it is closed / out of business. Kalahari and Great Wolf are both great indoor water parks. I liked Kalahari better, but both are great. I'll make sure to mention them at the next family meeting. Thanks

  So as we pack to move I am very carefully unloading books that I don't feel that we should store, ship, and unpack in a foreign country. But it's hard, I own SO many books still, even after going through this process many times, and there are many that are like unread or I want to read with my kids. But HB had a deal on RA Salvatore books this week, so I bought like 20 RAS Drizzt titles and then was happy to put all of those physical books into donation boxes. That freed up a lot of moving box space!

  @scottalanmiller said in The Skinny on Plex: How Are People Using It: Anyone used Jellyfin? I had never heard about it, so I added it to my Plex server. It's actually not bad as far as an interface goes. However, the metadata it pulled for my movie collection is horrendous. I turned that part off, lol.

  @scottalanmiller said in What does your desk look like?: @gjacobse said in What does your desk look like?: I’m pretty certain with the rPi4, you can used conventional SSD and even M.2 drives over the mSD. SSD yes, M2 no. Rock Pi and Pine64 Pro have the M2 interface as their killer feature. Ah - Thank you for the correction.

  @IRJ said in GPD mini PC arrives: How did you end up liking this system? I liked it well enough- until there was issues with the battery. Which caused all sorts of issues. I ended up selling it on eBay and taking a bath on it. Great idea, just not as well implemented.

  @JaredBusch said in I can't even: @scottalanmiller said in I can't even: Customer upset that we allow callers to not record a voice mail when we ask for one. They actually expect us to use technology to force people to leave messages. Did oyu ask them how you are supposed to make the person not hang up? Yeah.... like..... I guess they've never used a phone before? It's more than not hanging up it's ALSO forcing them to talk!

  @scottalanmiller said in Ridiculous Words Lacking from the Google Chrome Dictionary: @jmoore said in Ridiculous Words Lacking from the Google Chrome Dictionary: that's a nice french word, maybe that's why. It's a French origin, but so is resume. It's a word in English for a very long time. all true but maybe they have a cutoff somewhere before it is recognized. I am just guessing though.

  @scottalanmiller I saw some job postings from Basecamp the fitness company be linked to Basecamp the tech company. They're probably trying to autolink stuff together and royally screwing it up.

  Business Consultant and Entrepeneur I've worked in loads of different roles and industries. I find that as IT is just the infrastructure component of business, and that separating the two is nearly impossible, that over the years I've moved from being an IT generalist to a business generalist and now tackle IT from above, dealing as much with the overarching business concerns as the IT ones.

  @Dashrender said in My Network Journey: @gjacobse said in My Network Journey: @black3dynamite said in My Network Journey: University schools that has a surplus have some useful equipment for lab use. I’m doing that with a friend and his kid- it’s older UBNT and other gear- but it give a 10yo something to start with. What have they retired? That would be the only thing that matters on using older machine - the possibility that some newer commands aren't there. I will be upgrading my UniFi hardware. So I have two APs that I am replacing. the Controller is a VM still. I also had a project build of a Stand alone Point to Point wireless network for our Club. It's two UBNT M5 units and two EnGenius EAP9550 units One running DHCP, and the other a slave. The idea was that when we did a contest (Field Day) we could be across a 400yard area, and it would be nice to have internet / network for file sharing and such. I built it, it worked - and no one was interested in it. So - I'll be giving it all to him for his kid to learn on - tear up - etc....

  @scottalanmiller DBAs. There is still a prevalence of thought that they must have lots of separate drives for any number of purposes. These 'drives' all go to the same two or three luns, and some drives are in the same datastore, so.... splitting drives is just splitting hairs. It makes it easier to see database size, though a good DBA should be able to manage that without complication.
