hostname, FQDN, pet name?

although if you have a pet name for your comp that could be fun to hear as well lol.

@manxam host would be fine lol

@scottalanmiller Yep she's asleep now. I'm actually the only one awake now. The most peaceful part of my day.... that is filled with work lol

@QuixoticJeremy's kid just arrived to hang out with her cousins.

I hear she had a good time :), all tuckered out from all the fun!

This post has the feeling of Fast and the Furious 1. Is said "pet" a bag full of white powder?????

Development appears to have stalled.

Considering it's open source - I wonder if the Sodium folks could use this code to jump start theirs?

That would only make sense if this lined up with the Sodium project goals, which it does not. This isn't an RMM tool, this is a Salt GUI. Sodium isn't a Salt GUI. This isn't a management tool. So while one does use Salt and one is a GUI for Salt, it looks like the overlap probably stops there.

Developers know that picking up other projects generally means more work than starting over. Bootstrapping with old code tends to be counter productive, especially if the old code is not absolutely exactly what you need to use. If it's not using the languages, technologies, frameworks, authentication, coding styles, paradigms, licensing and such that is identical to what is needed in the new project it is likely to be an encumbrance rather than a boost.

Even with bespoke software, NTG tends to start over from scorched earth every seven years or so because of developments in the industry and changes in direction making it cheaper and more effective to not even reuse our own code that we made in house and own completely internally and already know.

Can I upvote this twice?

I'd have to take a look, it looks to be written in python which we weren't using but that doesn't necessarily mean it can't be used. A lot of what they have we already have in development or have completed to some degree. In my few free minutes I'll take a look and see if there is anything salvageable here, which is entirely possible.

@manxam said in Sodium App bug:

lol nice. We just deployed and I think we're getting closer. However I'm tinkering with the limiter on what is being returned for performance purposes so you might not be seeing anything at the moment. Are you still seeing those duplicate drives?

I'm seeing the following now:

E:\ NaN NaN Not available
Not available NaN NaN Not available
C:\ 119.80 112.60 48%

When you get a chance today, would you mind sending me the name of your machine? Thanks!

Nice speedometer, guess that warning didn't do too much did it lol

@manxam said in Sodium App bug:

Omg, someone formatted one of my drives!

E:\ NaN NaN Not available
C:\ NaN NaN Not available
C:\ 118.41 113.98 49%

Dominica has taken over some driving. We are south of Buffalo but in NY.

You're probably passing my old stomping grounds in Fredonia!

@dashrender not even in the slightest lol

This conversation just happened:

#it-help channel

User: Shopper has requested an E-mail to reset password 4 separate times. when email comes the link does not work. suggestions?
Me: What do you mean the link "doesn't work?" Does the shopper receive some kind of error message?
User: hold on will get confirmation

[20 minutes later]

No further activity in the #it-help channel.

I suppose this is one of the nice things about developing software for IT pros. Every time so far someone has reported a bug, I can rely on the fact that it's actually a real issue that I need to address.

Edit: SO FAR, don't let me down now people!

And your potential customers are some what competent enough to get you the information that you need. Error #, logs, behavior, etc.

Also a great point

Hi everybody, just wanted to let everyone know that I am aware of the INSANELY long logout times going on at the moment and actually the fix has already been coded (and it will help with the storage side of things as well). I'm just waiting on my IT department to push to production. I'm not able to get in touch with them at the moment but hopefully it will be soon. Until then please just hold tight!

Tell them that lunch is not allowed... Get back to rowing.

Hahaha, haha. As if they would ever listen to me lol.

You could lure them with beer and beef jerky. .

Now that has potential! Let me see here, what good beer can I get from around here....
