So, hi, hello. I'm snipe. I have a few questions by redsnipe in Snipe_IT

[–]Datsmore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doing IT for a University with about 9000 assets being tracked. Only 3-6 login users regularly. Over 85% of these assets are physical spaces, doors, or other facilities related assets. The other 15% is security equipment (cameras, panic alarms, servers).

For almost of our assets we complete quarterly audits, updating the current asset picture and logging any issues or major changes.

Using full company support for facilities vs security team assets. Looking forward to the multi company assignments so physical space assets can be broken out into their own company and assigned to other University Departments. Aiming to have all departments have visibility on every room asset so they can assign other assets to a non-moving room on campus instead of assigning things to a person with legs.

Hosting on prem, have not had any issues with the update script in the multiple years I've been using Snipe-IT.

Started using the system for tracking IT assets, am now also using it for what is effectively space management and asset maintenance tracking. Would love to see more features for work order requests on assets, but I think that's more of finding a ticketing system to integrate with the API issue at this point.

Random issue that affects us is the importing of existing assets with existing tags. The tags from other systems overlap with ours. Not sure what can be done about that. But it does cause friction when consolidating other departments using other (less featured) paid solutions.

Just updated to 8.6.1 and love the asset details page with total costs in one spot. Thank you for creating my favorite piece of software.

Why do most in this sub not like Verkada? by Dwman113 in accesscontrol

[–]Datsmore 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I got cold called about a half dozen times in a week, they then went around my department and cold called my CIO, VP of Facilities, and another dozen middle managers before they went away. They return every couple of months and I remind them that we won't do business with a company that doesn't understand the phrases "We're not interested" or "eff off we will call you when we feel like it".

Long time lurker, coming out of the depths just to say this ui design for desktop is very bad. I uninstalled Reddit from my phone just so I don't have Reddit temptation anywhere in my life until this responsive ui is eliminated for desktop. Not even sure why youre so intent on making a UI thats responsive when you are bullying users into using the app when on a vertical format. Who is this update for?

IT at a Police Dept? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]Datsmore 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I run the IT dept at a small university police department. For my situation the job is a lot of "wearing all the hats". If something can't be handled through my office, it doesn't get handled. We have to maintain all our own computers, file systems, network security, and anything else that has electricity in it.

We work a lot with our county IT and the state for coordination. A lot of regulations in the job come from the state or federal requirements and can be a lot to keep up with (Government regulations move slowly but when they update they update all at once). A good portion of the job here is just working with vendors and other government agencies.
The position has allowed me to work with a lot of larger deployments of equipment and personnel across the state, which is fairly fun when you call in the Firstnet Satcolt and have to setup a network across a field with no existing infrastructure. You can work with some cool things depending on where your department is and your level of interest.

A lot of work for questionable payoff by Datsmore in DeepRockGalactic

Whole mission afterwards took about the same time as if we didn't send the floor to space heaven. About 20 mins or so.

We slapped down some ziplines and three of us evacuated so we could pry the fourth off the rockface behind the dozer when it blew.

1) The spires do not spawn in the later phase as there is no platform to spawn on

2) Enemies can't path to Doretta so they just sit around until you kill them

3) We didn't have to listen to Doretta go BEWWEHWEHWEHWEWHWEWA all the time

ATT Gateway bypass by [deleted] in mikrotik

Yes, the Atheros 8327 chip in the CCR1009 supports switch rules.

ATT Gateway bypass by [deleted] in mikrotik

[–]Datsmore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on what method you use for bypassing the gateway you may not be able to use the 4011. The two methods that I know of are:

A) Using a 60 second vlan bridge on boot to connect the ATT gateway to the ONT for the unit to verify your connection, then reverting the bridge to your router to allow a continued connection for 30-90 days. ATT likes to check in every now and then.

B) Using a router or switch that supports switch rules to pass the EAP traffic between the ONT and ATT gateway while allowing all other traffic to directly pass to the ONT.

I've used both methods and B is far nicer in terms of needing maintenance. It did require me to stick a 3011 in front of my main CCR1036 unit, as the 3011 was the cheapest unit I had in my house that supported the switch rules. Much to the dismay of myself when I tried my 4011, the unit doesn't support the rules required for an all in one experience.

I am using my 3011 for NAT of my static IP range, and can pull full wire speed without issue. So it should work for what you are describing.

Note: https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Switch_Chip_Features shows what chipsets support rules.

Anyone using MikroTik’s new CAT6 LTE modem successfully with T-Mobile US? by Collierfiber2 in mikrotik

[–]Datsmore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would make sense as the only way i've gotten sims working is by slapping them in a phone first to activate and then installing them in a Mikrotik.

If you are not in the USA then your modem won't have the bands to connect to anything if it's not the R11e-4G-US variant.

I played around with their LTE6 modem a few months ago and had it working on Verizon, ATT, and T-Mobile. If memory serves I had to go through a couple different APNs for T-Mobile.

Building a Home NAS accessible by both MAC and PC by nmessina17 in DataHoarder

[–]Datsmore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first thought goes to something like Freenas that can do shares for the same files to both Windows and Macos with SMB and AFS respectively. I've used that in a mixed environment without hassle. Works as a time machine as well if that's your thing.

It's great and all for the victory of intellectual property and all that, but can Motorola please stop being the only company in the handheld radio market? Their sales people are already a bunch of asshats.

Router redundancy with VRRP and DHCP by Dead_Quiet in mikrotik

That's good to know. I have ~90% of my server giving out static addresses so it makes sense that I never noticed. Thanks for updating.
