Just ordered a 48 Port Ubiquiti EdgeSwitch

I have had nothing but problems with a client that is on ATT's fiber Internet service... impossible to get support, once you do get ahold of someone it is days before they resolve issues.

You can do it with powershell too...

Spinning up an ERPNext VM and an ODOO VM to try out some ERP software.

Honestly, I bet they have a massive turnover rate just from their entry level staff getting married and not working any more. The "went to college to find a spouse, didn't, and am now just working an entry level job so that I can meet people and get married and stop working" demographic is strong and the general business-preparedness suggests that that is the common goal.

Is that really a thing? I've only met one person like that before.

Hoping I can avoid it, but might be looking for another job soon. Wouldn't mind finding a place like that...... I may be becoming the creepy old widower tho.

Well I know where you can find one and most of them are very nice and quite cute. UT is famous for being a collective of that. Not a school known outside of Texas and inside of Texas is only known for sports, not academics, so you can guess what kind of students they tend to collect. It's why UT is definitely a "don't hire" red flag on a resume for many people.

I can confirm this...

@dafyre It was upright on my phone... not sure why it turned it on the desktop....

I would say Texas A&M is worst than UT, mostly because there is a strange cult-like allegiance between there graduates. I've known people that would only hire other Texas A&M graduates.

Getting ready to watch the Space X launch!

There is alot of US education that needs to changed. Everything the school districts do is to get money from the state. They don't provide a real education anymore, they just teach to tests that you have to pass, beyond that the school districts don't care if you learn anything else except that you can't be successful if you don't go to college. That was rammed down my throat since 3rd grade.

Booked my hotel for MangoCon! Now all I need is the flight...

With only 15 users, personally, I would spend a weekend and reset up my AD environment just to avoid issues in the future.

@wirestyle22 Cool! I also bought a EdgeRouter Lite for my home.

About to clean install Windows 10 on my work PC. Performed the upgrade some time ago and I keep finding too many things that are broken from the upgrade.

My favourite linux command is "ls"
"cd"

I use those quite a bit also.

I use them all the time, doesn't mean I like them. At least ls is shorter than dir.

I always end up typing dir on my linux machines and ls on my windows machines.... it just frustrates me...

@scottalanmiller not sure what you mean.

FreePBX, Elastix... just throw one onto a VM and migrate. Step up to enterprise phones on a VM instead of old, fragile hardware with no up front cost!

Hopefully the crippled Cisco phones have the SIP option.

You have to download the SIP firmware for the Cisco Phones.

If you are in powershell it doesn't matter.
