      @wirestyle22 said in What are you using to track daily tasks?:

      I am currently using Asana to track my day to day tasks but I'd like to find something self-hosted and open source if possible.

      We currently use Microsoft Planner but I think looking at something else. Eh it's whatever.

      Yeah it has like 10% promise, 70% wanted to gouge your eyes out, and 80% confusion about Sharepoint and where everything is stored.

      Fedora default. I think it's 5 retries and 30 minute block.

      I also leave at default.

      That BitTitan product that I ended up using for my migration was da bomb. Maybe check them out as well.

      I think everyone is just getting soft in their old age.

      ML needs the blue pill.

      I would assume that camera can stay up through the storm, unless the tower itself falls.

      @scottalanmiller said in Recommendations for Cameras:

      That looks like something abandoned and retired years ago, but left up because everyone was too lazy to take it down and they were hoping that leaving it there, even dead, would do something.

      I was getting ready to steal a pen from work, and after seeing that camera, I put it back.

      @brrabill said in Nextcloud replacing OneDrive:

      Hmmm, sounds like one of those "MS messed up" scenarios we were discussing in the backup thread(s).

      Yes, but it's also a "it didn't lose them their data" because they had local copies, scenarios we were also discussing. So a good example of both.

      Actually it sounded like MS found them and put them back.

      Local copies would also have been removed if they were "deleted" at the MS side.

    • RE: O365 and backups

      I've said it before, and I'll say it again.

      Shit happens. Mistakes happens. People make mistakes.

      Maybe in your world you can say...

      "Sorry, boss, I can't get that file for you. But boss, it's just political positioning. It's not an actual problem!"

      But not everyone can.

      May be true for most cases but can't discount human stupidity or maliciousness lol. Had 3 instances where critical emails were deleted and needed to be recovered. One of those was a departing employee who deleted everything in their inbox and cleared their deleted folder. It wasn't until a month afterward that this was discovered. He thought he was doing the company a favour by clearing out the space. It wasn't malicious but definitely clueless.

      Good example is the one @NashBrydges mentioned above...

      @scottalanmiller said in O365 and backups:

      Keep in mind that for SMALL shops, things like Outlook or Thunderbird will prevent most disasters by keeping a close on a local device. Not going to protect against sabotage, but that's rarely what people are paying to protect against. It will protect you against account issues or whatever. And it is basically free and often done anyway.

      It's a synced (assume you mean...) clone, though.

      So if you delete it and don't realize it for 30 days, it's potentially gone.

      You are not understanding. He is talking about Outlook keeping a local OST by default.

      The downside there is Outlook also only keeps about 12 months on the OST by default.

      But again it is a backup/copy/WTFever that is usually more than sufficient for a SMB.

      Especially if you update the defualts to ensure the entire mailbox is kept offline locally.

      Yeah if you delete it from the local copy, doesn't it also delete it from the Office365 copy?

      @scottalanmiller said in O365 and backups:

      All about putting numbers to it. It's the "real risk" of the system. But you have to determine how big that risk is and put a dollar number on it. Identifying what risks are is for the IT side of our brains, that's making a list. Evaluating that risk is for the actuary side of our brains. Take the list and put values to it to see whether they make sense to mitigate.

      For a small company, for the generally small cost of these backups, I think it's best just to do them.

      For me, that is exactly the reason you need a backup of O365.

      That, and any sort of malicious activity, or MS screw up.
