@BRRABill I've noticed that usually does the trick...I very rarely have to start clean with my iPhone.

I must be lucky...I'm not micro managed and routinely asked for advice on how we can improve processes etc.

Yep... If I was there I would have most likely driven 2 hours to location to meet the repair guy.

While at Mangocon, one of my locations had a bad storm blow through and tore the wireless radio off the side of the building. Short of that I've had very stable connections even in weather.

@Mike-Davis said in UBNT NVR + UBNT cam for small school?:

I've been asked to put together a video surveillance system for a small private (and non profit) school. Any reason not to go with a UBNT NVR, UBNT ToughSwitch PoE, and as many cameras as I need?

As of right now, just know that if they need a specialty camera that UBNT doesnt make (like a PTZ one) you will have to switch the NVR software, UBNT-NVR software does not support 3rd party cameras.

@scottalanmiller I actually went home a day early... I got a new nephew and wanted to see him.

I had a sore throat, but blamed it on too much alcohol and the expulsion of said alcohol

@MattSpeller I know...as far as I'm concerned we haven't had a good president since the 1980s

History will probably agree with you (probably even earlier than the 80s) but I am a fan of Bill and Obama - neither are saints but neither completely screwed the pooch as it were.

Still would charge both with war crimes, ditto the Bushes and I'd just lock up a few others and forget about the keys (kissenger, etc)

Haha...outside of an IT forum I would argue those with you...but I hate when political discussions happen on here.

@MattSpeller

Nothing from the Democratic Party here surprises me anymore

This is interesting...

Several programs have a special paste option where you can just paste plaine text as well

I like that idea a lot. Had to be "extra", can't be without the local option #becausehotelnetworks

That sounded like a disaster. So, there was just no WiFi or what?

Wifi was very spotty - it kicked you out after 2-4 mins of inactivity and appeared to be a shared 1 Mb for everyone.

After everyone left I was getting 5mbps

@scottalanmiller said in Disaster Recovery in a lanless network:

There really isn't anything too special as normal backups tend to be LANless already. Not always, but generally. Some backup tools rely on SMB/NFS which is not very LANless, but lots don't.

You consider backups that are stored separately from other files generally safer, right?

What about a backup system that mounts the CIFS / NFS path when the backups start, and then unmounts them when it has completed?

You still have an issue where Crypto-whatever 's are scanning the networks for CIFS/NFS shares.

True, but generally such shares are only writable to a particular user / server.

True, that is what I do for mine. I have my NAS's management service and file services on separate networks. I can only access the NAS file services from my backup server... I still have risk if that backup server ends up executing a crypto-whatever, but that is a small threat window (and I also have offsite copies that are not accessible from that server.)

I use dyn.com

Depending on size of conference and number of training topics, etc, I could see something where you had traditional sessions in the morning then a couple of training options after lunch where you could choose one that you would find beneficial for you.

He finally made it down

But he's not doing well.

Not well, but here and getting better.
