@black3dynamite I'm not sure what issue you're referring to.
Under known issues it says:
Users running MariaDB 10.2.7 and later may have an issue upgrading or installing, due to a change in the way MariaDB stores null defaults. This issue will be fixed once the open pull request in the Doctrine repo is merged and a new version of Doctrine is released with these fixes.
That is an issue that Maria and Doctrine need to fix, not Snipe-IT.

Very interesting. It looks like they only re-compiled the packages necessary to get rid of the license checks, lol.

That's all that is really required.

Telstra has announced a successful demo of 400 gigabit per second data transmission speeds on its Melbourne production network, claiming to have achieved the world's fastest speeds.HA! There's no mention of the distance that this was achieved over, so 1 metre is what I'll estimate it to be until the distance stats are published.

That's a fraction of the speed Cisco was trying to sell us most of a decade ago.

Shipping giant Maersk was forced to reinstall its entire IT environment in 10 days to recover from the NotPetya malware in June last year.
“We had to install 4000 new servers, 45,000 new PCs, 2500 applications, and that was done in a heroic effort over 10 days.

That's what they get for having 50,000 machines on a LAN-based security model!

He forgot to mention that the speed came at the cost of 20 ports on a device

@StorageNinja was sitting beside me. SpiceCorps Houston. Cisco "engineers" told us that they had released multi-terabit speeds and mocked us for not having networks that were fast enough to "even run YouTube in a few years."
Cisco literally was telling us our LAN port speeds had to be 14 Tb/s to do basic tasks. That was not quite a decade ago, but I'd guess 2010. So eight years.
This is one of the reasons that I see Cisco as such a joke. This was their corporate engineering rep who was so into "selling" and so non-technical, that he couldn't even come up with a plausible lie about what Cisco equipment was able to do.

No, it was their claim of per-port speed. The Cisco engineer had hear a news release about something else, and just figured it must be about LAN switching because it was the only thing he understood and in his desperation to sound impressive and his assumption that SMB users were clueless, he thought that he could say anything with confidence and get away with it.
