I've been using the cheap TP-Link's 8 porters. Usually can find them for $15 on NewEgg; so far no issues.

Aarugh. I just signed up for solar and Didn't even THINK of this. (banging head on wall). Going to add that to the new list of questions for the installer.

getting used to this new schedule (up 2 hours earlier than "normal" as the wife has a new job) but now going to get 3rd cup of coffee...Just can 't get moving. On the plus side just R2D2'd a couple old Dell 6410's into one working machine; I'll see if I can get Deepin or Korona running on it today (or maybe Fedora server and make it a KVM machine, who knows)

I have a UPS Store around the corner. For a fee they will pack as well as ship. I only use them occasionally so I do not know the costs

@minion-queen 65 here

@minion-queen Coming your way

@travisdh1 we got one going by us as well

Ugh both m kids are sick. Going to be a long night. May install Debian 9.1 on my vultr instance for poops and giggles.

@caramel or a new Linux disto

Huge fan of Zoom after it's sucess with MangoCon. Price is right too. Moving away my One-off's that we used to use join.me for

ComCrap's been having issues all day, probably due to that fiber outage in the NYC area. Couple of our offices have very slow Internet and they're not even near the affected areas

so here's a holy (insert explitive here). Been at my current job 15 years! That 1/3 of my life!

I am in AMherst, NY outside Buffalo. We are doing Net Metering so there's no local battery storage or going off grid just "spin the meter backward" when our solar generation exceeds our usage. Our town was offering a "deal" where they wave the local permit fees (electrical and building) if you sign up by a certain date. Out of pocket it will be $12000 ish for the installs then tax incentives lower that to a little over $8000 if I remember correctly (paperwork's at home). My dad offered to pick up half the cost as our Christmas gift (he can't do solar where he is too many trees) as long as I give him access to the monitoring (Yeah, Dads level of geek sometimes exceeds mine, he still has a Data General running in his basement!)

We just did windows this year,and I jsut signed the contract to get solar installed

@rojoloco Buddy of mine is caming out there this weekend, alas I can't as kids and beer just don't mix

@scottalanmiller Can you get Gigabit where you are at? Verizon is offering it here but I have to cancel my current setup and sign up as a new user (in my case using my wife's name)

@Dashrender we are in similar boat with hospitals, hate dealing with them. Check C:\ProgramData folder for Citrix and remove from there as well, even though it is not profile specific we've found "junk" in there from Citrix installs/downloads as well.

@Minion-Queen needs to get her own coffee franchise.

Servers from Xbyte, other equipment usually whomever is offering lowest price at the time; Amazon, Newegg; CDW occasionally.

@francesco-provino we use Aerohive, you need the Identity Manager in order to provide a unique 1 time login per user. For the cost I would not recommend and we are looking at Ubiquity for our next hardware refresh
