Setting up a Snipe-IT demo to simulate a spreadsheet in hopes to convinced certain individuals who are responsible for laptops inventory.
If they are still using spreadsheets, they don't get a say in the matter.
Some of those individuals are accountants. But one of them is willing to try. Utilizing the custom fields will be the key.
The custom fields in Snipe-IT, as far as I've used are simple data dumps. There are a few worth adding, but from an accounting side of things I can't think of any.

What a crazy busy morning it has been. Going bonkers here. Finally getting to post a little.

Just ordered a Ras Pi and micro SD card so I can finally set up Pi Hole at home.

@rojoloco Just VM it.

Not everyone wants to run a server at home, but a Pi, sure!

Bingo. No virtual infrastructure at home, certainly don't want any more fans running.

What type of case are you using for your raspberry pi?

Just fixed a Zimbra Server running on Ubuntu 12.10, time to move that server on.

Wow, yeah, time for some updates. Like a LOT of updates. What Zimbra version is it? We are still on 8.8.8.

For those interested, we tested SendGrid as a relay for Zimbra and found it... useless. We are now testing MailGun and so far, it's rocking.
ML uses MailGun as well.

What is the point of a relay for a mail server?

It's a common strategy to allow for running an in house email server with all of the flexibility that that entails, with the delivery protection that you get from a major email provider.
We compared with Zoho and the different in price for the same service is a difference of around $3/mo compared to $80/mo. Of course Zoho has extra features, but not ones that we wanted. It does have a nice interface for sure, but not that kind of price nicer.
But without a relay, you are at the mercy of your IP address for RBLs. With a relay, we get the deliverability rate of Rackspace's own email system. Pretty nice compromise. Very cheap, very easy.
Also adds some extra benefits like a GUI for monitoring delivery rates and stuff. not a big deal, but a nice add on.

Find-Module *returns lots of stuff.

So many people with masks on today because of the smoke that is everywhere. Can smell it there's so much, but no fires within a hundred miles or more of here.

Ah, ok yes, that is a very valid reason for it, but not one that I realistically ever need to deal with at clients that have their own Exchange servers.

Finished painting a lot of trim in the bathroom. Next up, new flooring!
