      I see no value in Guacamole, personally. No Machine is a much better option.

      You can now build your own Ethereum Network in Azure. I am sure we will start seeing blockchain integrated into Office 365 in the future.

      Definitely Interesting!

      Interesting for sure.

      I am pretty damn excited! I got into both Microsft Blockchain workshops at Microsoft Ignite! I am going to get a hands on look at this!!!!

      One of the best ways to identify a veteran fisherman vs an inexperienced one is by the size of his tackle box. Less is more. The better fisherman I become the less lures I carry. It's the opposite of what most people think..

      What do you need other than a laptop to make connector whatever you need to access?

      That's pretty funny. Except that a real fisherman has a frickin' boat and nets. Tackle box is for amateurs. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

      Using a net is much easier than fishing lures. With a net, you only need to find fish. Find bait fisherman needs to find and hook the fish. The sport fisherman needs to find, lure and hook in the fish.

      While fishing with a net yeilds the most numbers, obviously it doesn't translate to more pay. The highest paid fishermen are sport fishermen. Obviously the sponsored tournament guys are millionaires, but many local guys do quite well. Sport fishing charters often charge $700-1000 a day. We have about 100 of them just in our county. We are a big tourist area, but most areas have 10-20 of those guys in each area around The US. I know of many fishing guides and charters around the world as well.

      I understand what you're saying - I have a friend that's really into fly fishing. But sports fishing is still small potatoes to the commercial fishing industry. They make billions.

      Sport fishing has 110 billion dollar industry in just US.

      That's like $300 per citizen (including babies, prisoners, etc.), per year. I have no idea what the fishing population is like, but the cost of sport fishing must be enormous. My own experience is that @irj is the only fisher I know, anywhere. Seems like the cost for fishing is huge.

      Even assuming as many as one out of ten people are avid fishers, and that seems extremely high, that's $3,000 to fish every year for life.

      But it seems to be more concentrated here in the South. Are we considering professional fisherman or hobbyists (those that do it on the weekends)?

      Both. Hobbyist spend way more money.

    • RE: I have to change cloud drive service yet again

      @guyinpv said in I have to change cloud drive service yet again:

      .

      Unfortunately I can't use 3rd party tools like Cyberduck or WinSCP because everybody is used to browsing with the normal Windows Explorer experience. When they go to save or save-as from other programs like Word etc, they use the normal Explorer save dialog box to find the cloud folder to save to.

      And since this has happened many many times for multiple users, nobody trusts the system any more.

      Cloud functionality with zero training is very difficult to achieve and it sounds like you are losing trust to users.

      I've seen this happen before at various places. It sounds like everyone has more say than IT. Do you ever try putting your foot down and tell management, you either get functionality or you don't? Because it sounds like management themselves is on an IT witch hunt and somehow think that IT is subservient to users.

      Remember IT serves THE BUSINESS!!!! Not the employees, users, managers of HR, finance, etc... You need to recommend course of action for the business without feeling like you're stepping on Susan in accounting.

      If you can understand and practice this simple concept, you will get more respect, more work done, and much less downtime.

      Any other ideas, hopefully low budget options? There is no way I'm paying $140/m for Dropbox Business for 11 employees to have their own accounts. It's not necessary here, all way want is shared access to one master folder and very robust desktop sync.

      Our NextCloud server is $10/m so if we can keep budget low that would be good. Who knows, I'll probably have to switch again in 3 months when they start complaining of whatever new bugs they come across.

      This sounds really ridiculous! In a business environment you are worried about the difference of. $130 a month? I mean how many hours a month do you spend troubleshooting?

      How many hours do you have in this whole fiasco? It seems like alot. $140 a month would save you a ton of money, actually.

    • RE: Synology one bad sector crashes whole volume RAID0

      Why not just use everything cloud hosted for this 11 employee company? All this money, time and effort makes no sense when each user gets a TB of disk space on Office 365.

      If you are really paranoid, then back up to another cloud provider. All this equipment and man hours make no sense on 11 person company. Just pay for each user like you're supposed to and you will have all the resources you need.

    • Fedora 28 vs Ubuntu 18.04 benchmarks

      https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu1804-fedora28-clear&num=1

      I thought this was interesting... I guess in this case you are comparing performance of highly tuned sports cars (Linux) vs an economy car (windows).

      I see two different solutions here. Nextcloud and eccommerce website to sell downloads. I'm assuming of course that you aren't selling hundreds of files. You can make a line item for each one using woo commerce.

      @IRJ said in Excel - Finding duplicates in workbook and moving them into their own work sheets:

      I want to find duplicate fields in a workbook with multiple work sheets in it and move those duplicate rows into their own worksheet.

      Is that something I can do or am I just insane?

      I'm sure it could be done with Excel with some fancy macro programming.

      This is something that would be trivial to do in a proper database. I don't suppose this report is being generated in a proper database before being exported to Excel is it?

      Of course not.. (face palm)

      @Donahue said in SQL security over the LAN:

      The user never sees this, they only see their application specific login info. Everything is all setup from the initial install. But the application uses the SA account for all it's communications with SQL under the hood.

      That's still not how it works. If they missed just one place where someone could inject code..... your boned.

      Yes this is a possible f****ing disaster.

    • RE: SQL security over the LAN

      I couldn't imagine it not being encrypted connection using SA account. If it truly is an unencrypted connection with admin credentials it's unfathomable even for 20 years ago.

      Either way using a service account with no accountability is fucking train wreck. Using SA account as a service account is 10x worse.

      Honestly, I'd document everything and bring it to senior management. Because if it's really unencrypted using the SA account it is beyond reckless. C levels could actually be held personally liable in a breach if any PII is stolen.

    • RE: Android apk repository?

      Welcome to the club. I've been running without Google play for about a year now.

      The best and safest app store is F-Droid

      https://f-droid.org/en/

      I've found replacements for everything that work just as well or better than apps that require play services, with one exception. Nothing can stand up to Google maps.

      Open street map is terrible in Florida. I've heard it's usable in Europe and the North East, but definitely not here. With open street maps, everything must added by users including street names and numbers. Without that information, it's essentially useless.

      Aurora store or Yalp (found on F-Droid) can be used to download apks directly from Google play.
