Disney's system is definitely broken.
they claim that one account accesses all Disney stuff - but that clearly is not true.
I just tried to log into disney.com and shopdisney.com and my disneyplus.com account didn't work there - in fact it sent me a password reset email because possible compromise.
Get your shit together Disney!
Disney and modern have never really gone hand-in-hand.

@WrCombs i wish, would save on the flight too
@scottalanmiller forgot about uber. There's 5 of us, 1 in a wheelchair so thinking pre book something.
Almost every major hotel around JFK has a shuttle service. Give the hotel a call I'm sure they can provide that.

Looks like Zammad does both SSO and Groups (Departments). I don't use it though, so no experience there...
I have this deployed locally. It can be multi-department, but it is, obviously, geared toward IT more then anything else. It can do LDAP and SAML auth and have the ability to integrate with pretty much anything.
It's also stupid easy to install. The big complaint I have at the moment is that some of the customization that I wanted to do needed to be done in the backend.

Super easy test i've just done it (despite not using my drone for 12 months
), 20 questions multiple choice and only need 16 to pass. This gets you a Flyer ID, valid for 3 years.
If you own a drone you need a operators ID which is £9 for 1 year.Why - seriously why? This is little more than a money grab.
If the ID isn't required to purchase a drone, this is dumb, if all drone sales in the UK aren't serialized and reported to government to their person of purchase - based on the ID, again, what does this matter?I can only assume this is to make those that fly them and crash them can be held liable? without the tracking, this is pointless and little more than a money grab.
Because drones can shut down airports as has happened more than one time. Obviously criminals don’t care. But that’s no different than firearm registration.
Like everything, it’s simply a deterrent.
In the US at least. Drones over a certain size are required to have their FAA identifier clearly labeled on the underside of the drone so it can be visible from the ground. I assume the UK will have something similar. This identifier is linked to a physical person or company.

As far as Wasabi, I think it has proved to me not to be an enterprise solution over the outages. The pricing is so low in comparison to AWS and Azure, that it isn't much of a surprise they cut corners.Have you used them?
I used them. They were great for several months. I redirected my off-site backups from AWS S3 to Wasabi. During September and October, I could not get any files into (or out of) my buckets, so I was forced to switch back to AWS S3.
I'm using Wasabi East-1 and I've not had any problems with my backups not working-- or retrieving files.
Yeah, same here. No problem at all.
I had some issues getting to the console a bit back. But my backups continued without an issues.
@MattSpeller said in UniFi AP XG - Anyone running one yet?:
@coliver anyone published an eta on that? I don't have to make a move on this for a year
Not sure about Unifi. Our vendor is going to be sending us a demo unit Q1 for their stuff... not that we have any clients to use with it yet.

An AP that requires a 10Gb uplink port? That is sexy.
Party pooper time, do you *really * need wireless with that density and throughput?
Today? Maybe not. In 2021? Possibly.
This is more thinking about 2031
So the question is: super sexy top of the line AP VS middle range AP and shorter lifecycle
Environment is a high end laboratory, gym, doctors office & admin area. This building will produce cutting edge research and is staffed with more Docs and PHDs than you can shake a stick at.
Wifi 6 is just around the corner. By the time the mid-range ones age out you'll be to move to the next technology.
They're 800$. I know that will be inexpensive for what they are... but seems pricey for Ubiquiti.
Plug in Anywhere in Your UniFi Network
Mount the UniFi LTE device anywhere with a strong LTE signal and connect it to any part of your UniFi network. The UniFi LTE device creates a secure tunnel to the UniFi Security Gateway or Dream Machine and shows up automatically in the UniFi Controller.
