Well so far not me but the basically gutted our level-1 NOC guys.
Seems like a lot of companies are just using CVOID as an excuse to do stuff, even if it's not really cause they have too. or even CVOID related.
While it might be the excuse - If you look at the other thread, Will tech giants actually adopt WFH?, it's likely those jobs weren't needed in the first place - so they can ditch them, as long as it doesn't hurt their tax benefits, or they will find lower paying jobs to replace them with to keep their tax benefits.

I think more than anything, it's drastically exposing bloat in a way that they can't ignore any longer.

That's what I'm thinking. We do lean six sigma (which has problems still) but for most jobs we would not be able to function the same if we removed them.

@scottalanmiller That's what I think is happening with us there's not much for our NOC to monitor anymore so they decided to "cut bait" while they have the chance and turn to different tech for monitoring.

That's pretty much what I said. Bloat is more obvious when you are in a panic to pay for it, now they know that they don't have to, and they know that they need to shave the costs.

More layoffs at my company today; who knows I may be one of them ugh
If your company received any funds from CARES/PPP, the layoffs may also require an audit to see how money from that (forgivable) loan was used. Just a thought in case you decide to be a /r/prorevenge poster.

Orthodontics and dental cleaning today. My mouth is sore.

I've seen that loan structure and you'd have to really, really screw up to not get that money for free. Because it can be used for SO many different things, no audit will ever find it "misused", even if you fire everyone. There are so many loopholes to allow you to spend it on things like phones, computers, Internet access, etc. You'd be one totally failed business to not be able to find ways to show how to use it.

Neighbour came by to talk to me and I got actual human contact. Nice to talk to a human.

You'd definitely like to think that - but in reality, just like this protest against cops thing - I don't really expect much change - though of course I leave room for anything to actually happen.

Going over a new NethServer install and finding all the security problems. Actually not many, and all fixable. Reported them as bugs for NS.
Nessus is happy about the server now. -

MeshCentral = armed and operational (except Let's Encrypt, which I'll deal with tomorrow). Time for sleep
Did you use the sample-config-advanced.json or sample-config.json file for your config.json?
The sample-config.json provides a bare minimal settings while the sample-config-advanced.json provides you the complete set of options to choose from.
If you were curious, the default config file that was created is based on

Dealing with a failed server. RAID array lost a drive, then lost the other drive, but never reported a second drive failure, so even after it failed, it keeps saying that the drive is fine, but everything is lost.

CD Drive died. Controller died.
OMG, servers should not be run for 15-17 years in a non-temperature controller environment.

wow, looks like a bit of a disaster there. Glad I don't have to tell the client.

upside... zero sign of data LOSS. But loads of signs of data INACCESSIBILITY.
No drives with data have failed.... but the drives with the OS to access the data... totally hosed.

I think it did, but they were already in too deep.
