Making a to-do list for the guy sitting in my spot tomorrow as both the boss and I are out (jury duty...yeay).

Jury duty is pretty popular around here.

They hit your entire department with jury duty at the same time?

Nope, boss went to a seminar. @RojoLoco went last week I believe.

Oh okay, the way you wrote it sounded like you were stuck at some extreme jury duty event together.

AAAAAAND FOR OUR NEXT EVENT THE JURORS WILL JOUST FOR THE RIGHT TO GO TO LUNCH INSTEAD OF DELIBERATING FOR YET ANOTHER HOUR! WHO WILL BE OUR NEW CHAMPION?

@jaredbusch said in How business ready is ZeroTier?:

You can use ZeroTier this way. It will work just fine, but a simple VPN to extend the LAN is probably better for this.

@scottalanmiller can you fork this so we can discuss why for my own knowledge

ZT is decent if you have one to one connection scenarios, or many to one, e.g. clients to file server/NextCloud. When you have many to many or one to many then ZT increases complexity because of maintaining the connections without much improvement of security.

Eating lunch here,... and working on nuking my Facebook page. Tired of all the political, racial and religious crap being spewed all over the place.

That - and no one ever talked to me any way.... (maybe only 3 people ever really)

I can't even remember why I have a Facebook account anymore.

I know WHY I had it,.. but it is no longer a valid argument to keep it. so bAh-Bye..

My friends list and feed are pared down to the point where I really only see science stuff and recipes. And the occasional funny picture. I've always had a strict "no politics/news/religion/etc" rule.

This day & age -- that's probably a good policy, lol.

Sadly, the inspirational quotes still get through.

You don't want to be inspired?

I don't find other people's trite remakrs to be inspiring.

inspiro bot trumps all

The short answer @Jimmy_K is to hire someone. No one on an online forum, no matter how skilled, is going to be able to help you solve an out of band configuration on a phone system. There are several people on here that are skilled at FreePBX who would probably be happy to provide you with rates (I am not one of them... ). It will cost you less in the long run, and get you a better end result.

There need to be T-shirts made for Mangocon '18 with the title of this thread on them.

If you're storing important information in your chat you're doing it wrong imo. You might receive important information that way, but none of them are going to be great for sorting and filtering information in a retrieval scenario.

Now is the time for someone to create a blockchain based social media system where the end user controls their data and how it is shared.

Looking at Office 365 backup solutions, and there are a number of them out there now. Do any of y'all have experience with them? I tried doing some searching, but I still haven't figured out how to search based on multiple tags.

Visited Cathedral Grove this weekend. Girlfriend for scale.

So that tree is approximately 2 girlfriend arm lengths wide?

Yeah, one of the smaller ones 0.o

Are you saying you have a smaller girlfriend?

A person like that lacks the dedication required to really belong to this cult forum.

#cultofscottalanmiller It's a bit long for a good catchphrase.

Why not #cultofSAM ?

I lub me some surface to air missiles.

I wonder how many people called the Blackhawks asking for the rights to make this into a movie.

Intranet can mean a lot of different things. Is there anything else you need aside from file storage and accessibility?

I'm going.

As are @pchiodo and @Dominica

Those parking garages are in for a rough time.

Since @FiyaFly accidentally got us started on the topic I figured I'd start an actual thread here. What systems have you played, and what ones do you prefer? What do you want to try out?

Y'all are being pretty aggressive with @WrCombs today. Some of the ways that things have been communicated today in various threads I wouldn't tolerate in a professional environment, and others that just aren't terribly kind. Just my opinion. Do with it what you will.

Apparently the cheapest place to live is in the post apocalyptic wasteland of the Commonwealth (Fallout 4): https://www.landc.co.uk/video-game-property/.

In a similar vein as what @Pete-S is saying, they need to have IT's involvement in their needs analysis. Often times people throw out numbers that appear unreasonable to us because they are just guessing. They don't actually know, but they do know that they don't want to run out. So, they create a best estimate based on the limits of their knowledge which results in a guess. The three approaches are deny, approve, and engage.

This is where business analysis comes into play. Unfortunately this is a skill set that most SMBs are unwilling to pay for.

I don't know where your team is at in terms of capacity and skill set, so that will determine which of the three options that you select (with shading between the options of course).

Everyone just left for Legoland and left me here to work.

I'm having trouble figuring out why you're still working and not at Legoland.

I'm curious what you all are doing about the recently announced IE flaw that Microsoft isn't going to patch until February? For those who cannot just say "Don't use IE" at least.
