RE: PowerShell Code Cleanup
@Tim_G never used PS seriousltรนy, but as acoder I would you suggest to make your FW rules instances of a class and put them into an array. then for-looping them
this will fix the growing number of rules.
about last line... don't get it. it was better to say: remove ALL firewall rules FIRST and THEN ADD only those required?
in linux a simple ip-tables script always start wiping everything and then adding a deny/allow on basic traffic chains, like in/out/forward. then you add specific rules.
just my 2 cents

@Tim_G said in Xiaomi's New $362 Bests Samsung Galaxy S8 for Half the Price:
If it would work with the wireless bands in the U.S.... would it be possible to have someone in China buy one and bring it back?
you can buy. carrier compatibility: have to check, too much different from europe to give advice...
PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS JUST A LINK I DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE SHOP, IN ITALY WE HAVE A COUPLE OF TRUSTED IMPORTERS. CHECK WITH THE XIAOMI COMMUNITY!

RE: the missing VoIP, the ERP and the solution in search of a problem
@TeleFox we have a quite old (few years) PBX which has been used in the years adding new and new phone lines with the company expansion. last batch of additions was 6 months ago: 5 new seats with new phones and headsets. PBX is Aastra with proprietary digital phones.
the company bought a new erp last december, against my advice they also buyed a generic "VoIP-ERP integration package". we are now implementing the ERP and the sysadmin at the ERP consulting firm pointed out to me that the package actually is a proprietary VoIP PBX based on asterisk.
the solution involves something around 10 or 15 people (depending on the layout of the customer care dept), company has somethin like 40 phones bwteen DECT and digital deskphones.so we can:
- throw away the new asterisk PBX (wasted 4kโฌ), sorry 15 people
- throw away current Aastra PBX , redoing a lot of cabling and rebuying the entire equipement for 40 between wirede and DECT phones
- try to integrate the 2, especially considering than it is right to isolate the ERP asterisk thing as you would not to depend on an erp for your phone system (ok, redo VoIP wiring and equipement if you want but choose a different strategy!)
now both current PBX managing firm and the carrier have found a number potential solutions (basically a sip trunk between the 2 PBXes).
hope this clarifies!

I own a redmi 4 by xiaomi. Buyed the global version from local import shop. Glass is really sensitive. Anything else in 1.5 month of usage is on par with any other more expensive phone. A collegue of mine has the mi 5. Really good too.
Just need few months to get the official global rom out and you can buy it in Europe.

btw asterisk aware guys say that probably I can daisy chain this thing with my PBX as Aastra supports SIP trunks.
Likely. But why, seems overly complex.
easy: we have an ERP vendor which will manage my PBX. If and when the company will leave the ERP either they will keep an ERP consulting firm managing their PBX or they will have to ditch the PBX. forward-looking approach for sure...

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.

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!
You do things wrong it's not your job. Your job is to do what the business says. Or if you're an actual decision maker your job is to make a decision if it's good for the business not how you do it in quotes
that's the point: I'm used to take decisions or at least being consulted before. not to be thrown into other's wrong decisions - against my advice - and then being asked to solve the problem. also simply by paying someone else to actually solve it. I'm now just a proxy for "automatic" problem solving. this is also why I want to leave but this is another story.
They've moved you from the IT to the IT Buyer position.
just to dirft a bit again. In the past a previous employer asked me to move to the managing director position of a small 3d printer and 3d scanning facility. I refused, they insisted, I accepted.
But I'm not used to say people to solve problems I ignore. I'm used to study and understand problems. I said goodbye my friends (they were and still are friends)current employer moved me in a similar position. now there is someone who says:
"what do you think"
me: "not easy need deeper understanding"
he: "you are boring, I want it and I'll buy it"
me: "hallo we have an (expected) issue)"
he: "solve it"your comment is the right one: "wow just... wow"
Still I want to understand how to do it the right way (TM) *.
- of course this is right as always in first aproximation. only experience leads you to the real right way.

RE: Data archive is not backup! What do you use?
@scottalanmiller so basically, if I want to move stuff from a NAS appliance (which does'nt support the thing), I need a VM in the middle to manage the copy/move/remove operations. right? (ok, then stopping hijacking the thread)

@Francesco-Provino never used those (b2, glacier) how do you access them? REST API? client? anything special required?

RE: the missing VoIP, the ERP and the solution in search of a problem
@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!
