The one the only Mr. @JaredBusch and his talk on voip the Business and IT

I have heard this fallacy most from what I like to call "server huggers". Usually goes something like, "we just moved everything to xyz cloud and then IT was eliminated". Further digging typically reveals they didn't posses the skill set to manage the new cloud offerings and was replaced by an outsourced operation. Easy to appear that cloud is to blame; just as easy to debunk.

I just finished booking now so I will be there!

Cleaning up my old post and marking it solved. After taking options and cost to the business we ended up staying with the bundled music.

Just posting to say "Hi!"

I realized I had been a member for 30 minutes and not posted, knowing myself if I didn't do it now I never would.

Thanks to @scottalanmiller for talking to me at Spiceworld 2015 and telling me about this site, I already see it will be a great asset for business and pleasure.

Cheers!
Donald

Thanks @Dominica and @pchiodo for the extra shirt

My plane arrives 2pm on Tuesday, as with @JaredBusch the technical content seems thin, might be my second and last year as well

@wrcombs said in LastPass just double their price:

Ok, So i have to ask.. What is the difference (if any) in the free version and the paid version?
Ive been using the free version for about 5 months and it works just fine on both my Phone and my laptop..

Features that lured me to premium. Feel free to educate me if this has changed:

• Device sync: I have Last Pass across 4 PC, 1 smartphone, and 2 tablets. The data is instantly available across all devices
• Two-factor: TOTP is what I have on my account
• Sharing: I am able to maintain my own LP account but securely share credentials with my wife or others as needed.
• App fill: At least when it was launched, filling in apps and forms on smart devices required premium

I think that is all I need premium for.

@scottalanmiller said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

Still doing Sage updates.

Our finance team stopped paying for maintenance two years ago.. That took care of me having to do Sage 50 updates. :face_with_tears_of_joy:

Keep discussing. I'd travel (almost) wherever.

Virtual could be a good second. Structured and unstructured video calls maybe?

This has piqued my interest as well. Might be a good option for people in their key demographic. I will be attending the webinar on Thursday to learn more.

@JaredBusch said in Database held for ransom, anyone experience this before?:

@donaldlandru someone is screwed.

Assuming no backups and that it has sensitive data. Might just be Wordpress posts and public already.

Nah they had backups. Not Wordpress lol

@DustinB3403 said in Database held for ransom, anyone experience this before?:

Wipe and reload, and of course immediately change the password to something stronger.

Haha thankfully not ours to fix, but that was the advice. I’d also vote against paying the bitcoin since they’ll “leak” the database either way.

Had this forwarded to my desk this morning. This client uses AWS hosted database and found this over the weekend.

Anyone ever see this before?

I use Git Bash on Windows as my jumping off point. This has the ssh-copy-id, as well as most other tools, available.

If all of your keys are already on your servers, you can use something like PuTTy or MobaXterm (still PuTTy) to connect using your private key.

@scottalanmiller said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

And we are back.

Sheesh, what took so long J

And restoring another fragile Excel "application" from backup. You know Monday

And successfully made it to Minneapolis. Where I can talk about all my hoostsss (that’s for you @scottalanmiller)

@scotth said in Pi-Hole Upstream DNS Providers:

Steve Gibson's GRC DNS Benchmark

I don't know if this is the defining app for public DNS servers but it may help.

I have used a version of this previously
