Have not tried this combination. I'm pretty confident it will work, but what the settings are.... no idea.

And exempt hourly...

Work 40 hours a week, paid 40 x hourly rate.
Work 60 hours a week, paid 40 x hourly rate.

This above is actually called a weekly rate, it's neither hourly nor salaried. I've seen a lot of places do "day rate" where you get paid X per day, regardless of work done. Or day rate + hourly which gets really confusing.

I was actually day rate + hourly back at my last truck driving position. I was probably the only one who actually got paid a decent wage as well. Got a flat rate of $50 for two bump runs each day between Cleveland and Akron, plus an hourly rate whenever I worked between bump runs, which was all the time because they had no backup.

I used to do daily where it was flat day rate for 40-50 hours a day. No matter what you worked, you were expected to do at least forty hours. The rate was flat. Once you went over 50 hours, you made hourly your day rate/40. So you made your best per hour rate working 40 hours, your worst working 50 and it slowly improved for every hour over 40.

@stacksofplates Good point. Something as simple as the network setup can completely change things.

@StrongBad said in Facebook running slow:

Have not seen an issue. I suppose that with the election debate underway that there is a lot of traffic.

Working fine now, may have been that.

Interesting.

I'm about to use a few different SFP(+)s with HP and UBNT equipment. A reseller I've contacted tells me that they are suppose to be all compatible, but... yeah we know how that often turns out.

My 1 GB fiber SFP (10Gtek) just arrived this morning. I plan to put it in a EdgeSwitch and connect it to an HP with a HP SFP.

And it sold for $350 on ebay

Curious as to which spam filter service this is...

Curious.

We tried the SimpliSafe system, but found that it didn't have some of the features we wanted. Maybe 'hacking' it with the RPi would be the solution.

The feature we wanted was that some doors announce not just chime. We have kids that are starting to have friends come over. And to hear

Front Door - Open

Would be nice.

Also, the window/door sensors seem expensive.

No that would not work as simplisafe base unit doesn't know the names you give it. now if it alarms you could get that info as the serial is sent to the web DB and then tied to give you the friendly name.

There was one of those on the AirBNB in Austin last year.. it was night until it didn't work the last day. I had no key I had to call the super.

@Dashrender said in Schlage Sense Smart Lock:

Nope, the super said they had problems before. She had to come use the use to get me in.

Hey @Dashrender is your non windows phone too hard to use?

now who's posting pointless comments 🙂

ah, but ribbing you is never pointless!

Our colocation has raised floors, fully redundant diesel generators, and 50k gallons of fuel onsite. The building is designed to withstand some crazy high winds (can't remember the exact rating, but we went 'wow'). Plus fully redundant internet connections with failover set up (assuming the 'net is still up during a bad storm or tornado).

Huge dose of nostalgia - wrong HPLJ though

Those things are a beast. I spoke to my brother this week and he mentioned that he found his still running... he pulled it out of the trash about 8 years ago. All it needed was a paper tray.

Pro-tip - get rid of them ASAP

They blow carcinogenic toner particles all over your office and then you breathe that garbage in and get lung cancer.

@dafyre said in Hacking attempt:

What kind of info do you have on the attack? Or do you just know that you were being attacked?

I Can't comment on that.

I guess it depends what your time is worth if you want to try to script something.

Scripting isn't about trying to save money. Doing the script cost way more in time than what that thing costs. Scripts are way more flexible than a program. You can add more variables and even pass off arguments to other systems.

Also a script, once completed, can be replicated for no additional outlay of time beyond deployment. So it can scale to every Windows device needed in this case.

found this: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/systemcenter/en-US/5d549159-554b-4e64-bba6-aefebe475494/osd-skip-a-task-sequence-step-by-query?forum=configmgrgeneral

Yeah, the NOT is wrong, WQL doesn't contain a "not like" operator but you can move the not to the beginning of the condition to negate its value. Thus, this will work select * from Win32_computersystem where not (Name like "%W" or Name like "%W0[1-8]")

Worked like a charm

Looks like this is all you can do via the VyOS CLI.

anything else will require you to drop to shell with su -i

I think that DataCore SANSymphony is probably the tool that you are looking for.

BTW this type of fiber is sometimes called Dark Fiber.

Who owns that fiber?

I used to refer to the fiber between our two buildings that we own completely as dark fiber, and I was filleted on SpiceWorks for it.

You would be, if you are using it it isn't dark. Dark refers to it not being lit, no traffic. The moment it is used for any purpose it literally stops being dark. 🙂

On SW there are a ton of people calling all kinds of random things "dark fiber" which is really weird. It's one of the least technical terms in all of IT, no idea how people got the weird usages of it. It's like saying a "dark room" because... the lights aren't on.

@Dashrender said in Pfsense to Meraki Site-Site Ipsec VPN:

At what size network do you normally turn on BGP?

Pretty much any time you have multiple routers & subnets. BGP is to routing what DHCP is to Up addressing (kinda). With static routes every device has to be setup manually with every network which is insane. With BGP and Autonomous system numbers it's automated and less likely to have mistakes.
