@travisdh1 Yeah I saw that, which was why I was asking about it.

Just taking a quick look at the pricing, you can get those smaller Dell servers with 4 3.5" bays for less, at least in the US.

that's a main problem here in Italy. If you ask for a street price for dell or hpe you go cheeper then supermicro (and local SLA is better).

ok, TBH if you get self-supported cmd-line only stuff, why can't you do this with glusterfs+targetcli on centos with xfs?!
IMHO this is just a windows shop vs linux shop stuff! Not I'm saying this is a bad thing! no it is great, just wondering about comparisons... and this seems a lot of centos+gluster+LVM(+libvirt if you hyperconverge)

Added one of these to the toilet at home a few years ago.

There is nothing better than having a robot wash your ass for you.

an look at the single pane of glass to control everything!

@oksana you should mention here that this is in violation of MS eula

Should we copy the whole article there?

Just adding "~for test~" or similar in the title would benefit.

The article's intro was already here in the post , couple of more words were not overwealming.

As said you are really accurate in the article, just this time you have missed to be the same in marketing your blog here.

Just this.

@Carnival-Boy let say I'm curious, I'm really going to f*** off this company but at least I would like to understand if there was a solution to not destroy something just "because we can".

From another perspective: if a few seats require to switch to VoIP for a given theoretical service, do I need to convert the entire company to VoIP? is this just an all-or-nothing scenario?

My next job maybe would benefit from this knowledge. If they want they can f*** everything: its their money , but one goal of any job to me is to learn something new. asking to throw everything away can be ok. but I will learn nothing new (also because I will not configrure/deploy/provision anything).

Maybe I'm now just learning that you require an entire migration from analog UTP to VoIP, even for a single seat.

Just learned ubuntu is an actual word, not something just made up by FOSS guys.

HA ha. Back when Ubuntu was new they talked about why they chose the name all the time. Means like community or friendship or something like that.

way more complex: this.

@dashrender it's faster to install core because the entire objective of the guide was an SMB server, not a hyper-v server.

Licensing isn't the issue either as they state this is for testing purposes, and that it is, in fact, against TOS. So use the 180 day free trial for testing purposes and spin up a VM of server core for your SMB server.

The whole hyper-v thing makes zero sense whatsoever.

Very true. Starwind isn't a company known for this sort of pointless exercise.

What do you mean by that?

I absolutely disagree on anything like "We should not talk about that". In IT industry it's called "security thru the obscurity". Banning meth or nitroglycerine cooking books won't stop people from producing them. Real exercise is evangelization and telling something "Yes, you can do that but it's a bad idea and here's why" rather then telling nothing and just waiting for somebody to try. IMHO of course.

P.S. #$%# I'm thinking about just taking the whole thing down :((((((((((

Hey dont remove it. It is well explained that the solution is against eula. Mine was just a mild note about the dissemination.

I've clicked on the link hoping in a change of the eula or so, because you are always more informed than me! Instead it is "just" to show that all pieces are there for a free file server. It is just a legal thing which limits your freedom.

Maybe just rework the intro of the blog post to point out this aspect. It will make more clear your goal.

IMHO.

@scottalanmiller of course, if a few phones will be moved to VoIP I will consider injectors, but if the entire network has to be redefined, POE+ switches turn to be cheaper and better manageable than ~40 local injectors.

@stuartjordan said in What does your desk look like?:

I have custom monitor stands on my desk.....lol

they are quite common in my company too!

@MattSpeller a number of new switches were in order, but if I have to revert ALL phones to LAN, well this more or less doubles our ports requirements, therefore the required switches.

@travisdh1 said in What was your first Linux/Unix distro?:

How did I miss this thread?

IRIX - SGI Equipment, 1996

1x Origin 2000 Server
4x 64-bit CPU,
1GB RAM,
8x300GB 15k SCSI HDD

Should I be concerned that I still remember the server specs?

4x Octane Workstations

2x O2 Workstations

Finally, 4x Indigo2 Workstations

It was expensive, but man they made good looking kit!

My bet was on you and irix or similar

@MattSpeller yes, this is another option too but batch in order had not so many POE ports and nowdays most phones has POE. Anyway still waiting for a compatibility list, maybe we can simply go the AC adapter way.

Never got the cord. Always found news to be manipulated. Stop watching at them. Found cultural stuff fading away from tv. Basically Ive found myself switching tv on only for searching for good movies. when I was ready, not when they were. Put the tv in the trashcan, started pay netflix.

@MattSpeller we have production plants, electric power is the last problem. even the smallest closet is reached by ludicrous power with oversized cabling (just in case). I'm theoretically able to put a milling machine in any corner of the company (infact we have 6 of them).
but thanks for the hint!

@marcinozga said in the missing VoIP, the ERP and the solution in search of a problem:

Use this as an opportunity to learn some new stuff.

impossible: the PBX is fully operated by the supplier. period. the only interesting thing was to understand how to not nuke a plant while introducing VoIP tech in it.

From US to Italy! Great beer!

Then it's just an opportunity to chill and enjoy having telephony off of your plate

not the way I do things. usually I try to plan them. and I also tend to fail miserably. but at least I try to make a plan not buy a solution and then create a problem to apply it!
