Seems like Monday will be a good day to call in sick... I just found out we're going to have somewhere between 200 and 250 tickets created by HR over the weekend...
Or just to get run over by a car.
I mean, there's that option too?

@scottalanmiller He also wears multi thousand dollar suits every weekend on his 'tv show'.
Well it's like those televangelists that actually spoke on and tried to justify the need for private jets. This is obviously not what true Christianity is about and I'm sure most people realize that. These are just public figures abusing religion for monetary gain.

Not for nothing, but for millions of dollars, I'd be a preacher too.. . . F$%* IT at that point. . .
I know I'd be going to hell for sure too..
lol most preacher's don't end up with millions of dollars for the record.

Even if everyone in this building fought to the death using nothing but keyboards and optical mice, today would still be boring af.
IDK, that sounds pretty epic...

Morning ML. I'm currently waking up, still very groggy.
Me too. I completely skipped water and sweet tea, and went straight for covfefe.
Good choice. I'm actually in this weird limbo where I made the mistake of sitting at my desk before getting coffee. Thus I'm trying to drum up the energy to go get coffee so that I can drink said coffee and get energy...
@scottalanmiller said in What does your desk look like?:
I'm now "that idiot who used to do technology" that IT has to report to.
Hard to imagine you as "the idiot that used to do tech"
Prepping to fly to phoenix for a week and a half for a new position at RedLogik!
@fuznutz04 Well those are the two things that matter, right? It's fixed and it was fun!

Is it 5 yet?
Somewhere. Crack a beer.
Could REALLY go for one right now. I haven't had a beer in a good 2 weeks now!
Then clearly you have a problem with drinking. . .
The only problem I have with drinking is that I don't have a drink in my hand.... lol that and I'm trying to avoid things that can agitate ulcers. Doctor's orders.
I've always found that doctor's orders agitate ulcers. So definitely avoid those.
You know, that might be a good point. I should get a beer.

@RestoronixSean just pulled someone out of a car wreck.
That's good/not good. Everyone okay?
Hit and run. Guy almost had a heart attack due to a heart condition, but medics are there and he seems to be okay.
@RestoronixSean got her plates and even a picture, though. So won't be good for her.
Yep, she's done. Good deal.

Only the Windows installer is working, I think. Don't try it with Linux.
https://sodium.waxquixotic.com
It requires a "company" to which a machine will be assigned. So for person testing, just make a "company" of your own name or family name or something that makes sense for personal use. Right now you'll need to use Chrome, FF and Edge aren't working reliably yet. One thing at a time. We are dropping new updates a few times a day, so things are changing constantly. But for recent Windows versions, installs are working and data collection is working. Once you download the installer, you can install on unlimited Windows boxes and they will all show up under your personal account.
@StarWind_Software Awesome! Thanks for doing this ama. Here is a question: Does Starwind require hardware RAID or can it use software RAID? Does it provide software RAID?
@scottalanmiller Couldn't agree more. I love all of these events. There was quite the span of time where I didn't get to attend anything so I'm very happy to be able to attend meet ups etc again. Making new connections is immensely important.
Hello everybody, this is my new work account. @JeremyRichardson is my personal account. I am a full-time software engineer and also an avid gamer (as most here probably are). Hello everybody!
@Dashrender said in Sodium Update!:
Should I put this on a small handful of PCs in my office, or rather only home machines?
Oh definitely go ahead for office machines. Definitely. Just be aware this is pre-beta, very early testing. We are pretty confident that this is safe and the big "fear" is that it just won't work or won't look nice or doesn't do as many things as you want. The local agent components are very heavily tested and should be totally safe on office machines, even at this stage. So definitely go ahead. For your office, you'll want to create a single company when you make your account. Either the company that you work for or you as an MSP if you are an MSP user, for example. Sodium is free for personal OR business use. But as it works right now, you'll need independent accounts (which is fine, just make two accounts) to keep your personal machines separate from your office ones.
The assumption with how the system works is that we expect that you'll use it at home as well as work, just because... why not? That way you see it in use in more environments and get more out of it. But, of course, many people will only do one or the other.
Oh, thought of another. What connection protocols are supported by Starwind? Like iSCSI, I know, as everyone talks about it. Anything else like SMB?
@scottalanmiller said in Shots for Scott:
Here is @QuixoticJeremy (aka generation 2) thinking he can keep pace.
LOL nah, maybe if it was the college version of me. Not this barely drink anymore version of me. Also do these guys realize $150 bucks is like your warm up round?
