    • RE: Alternative to FTP

      Also if you go with FTPS instead of SFTP you have to deal with UTM/Next Gen Firewalls messing with the traffic on the client side all the time.

    • RE: Alternative to FTP

      @siringo you might want to rethink Filezilla, last I heard it the installer was bundling some sketchy stuff with it. I just use WinSCP when needed.

    • RE: YAML terminology and Ansible

      Speaking to just the YAML side of things and not Ansible, you've got it pretty good, just a few minor clarifications:

      1. a. hosts is a key within a dictionary, not a dictionary itself, looks like they might have just been a typo

      2. c. I mean, you could think of that dictionary being named tasks, but getting technical, tasks is a key in a dictionary that has a dictionary as the value.

      I'm liking these non-IT technician focused videos.

      Thanks! I'm hoping to broaden the audience and make tools that IT staff can either use directly by sharing with management or learn from on how to present to management.

      Far too often IT is pressured to make business decisions that other business stakeholders should be involved in.

      I once worked for a company where a previous employee had set up their own domain reseller and that's who the company had gotten their domains. Luckily he let us transfer while still in talks with the company about payments.

      Wow, now that's scary.

      We are dealing with a customer right now that let their former IT company own their domain, DNS, hosting, everything. Now they are begging them to give it to them, which likely they will, but they've been using the pressure to try to extort them softly for more services in the meantime.

      It seems like that is not an uncommon scenario.

    • RE: Access 2003 in a 2021 World???

      Tryton
      Use a Tryton partner as your developer. Something happens to that company you can use another one for modifications.

      The only trick is getting. A Business Analyst that understands the business and can communicate the requirements.

    • SAM's New Business Venture

      Does anyone else think a Gordon Ramsay esque TV show called IT Nightmares would be a great idea?

      https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/lfoklv/does_anyone_else_think_a_gordon_ramsay_esque_tv/

      The way I would see it is as mostly directed at business owners and getting them to understand the role of IT in their business.

      "That's an HR problem, not an IT problem."

    • "I have access and visibility into data that basically doesn't exist anywhere else in the world"

      "I have access and visibility into data that basically doesn't exist anywhere else in the world" - Nicole Forsgren, VP of Research and Strategy at GitHub in episode 755 of RunAs Radio

      http://www.runasradio.com/Shows/Show/755

      In context, she is actually referring to the data she can get from other Microsoft teams, but it does make you think of the flip side. A company like Microsoft owning GitHub can probably make enough use of the data that they wouldn't even need GitHub to make money.
