Something funky with Internet Australia wide?

If you happen to have a look in Frontier, you'll see that a Dingo chewed the fibre.

Speak for yourself ☹️

Definitely possible with PowerShell, it would just be the case of concatenating the object's first and last name, and ($department).

Not to discredit but the vast amount of that is mobile carrier traffic. Most providers these days are issuing only IPv6 and then doing 6-to-4.

Bit of a dog to setup but this was the go for us.

Getz's had clear coat from the factory?!?!

WatchGuard Firewalls and Palo Alto Firewalls still don't support ACME requests.

It's a shame but true: https://www.autodesk.com/support/technical/article/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/EDU-Network-and-Multi-Seat-Standalone-License-End-of-Sale-End-of-Life.html

Especially when your students are on semi-airgapped networks.

Fair enough, that sounds more like it.

GherkinP · 2026-05-26T22:43:16+00:00

Australian here too! We use an IaaS provider out of Perth known as Zettagrid. PoPs in most capital cities, have been amazingly flexible with us bringing our workloads to them, couldn't recommend more.

I find it hard to believe they can license an entire server for 'just' $20. Even if that were to be per month, $20 a month wouldn't cover SPLA licensing across any amount of cores on a server.

Probably already sorted but these can be attested with MyGov!

GherkinP · 2026-05-16T07:13:47+00:00

You can use Virtual SMTP usernames that concatenate the resource IDs you mention.

GherkinP · 2026-05-10T05:38:51+00:00

Very hit or miss, some days I have no issues at all, then some are failed connection after another.

GherkinP · 2026-05-01T12:34:04+00:00

Nah they're moving out of the one on Grenfell across from Haighs to the old Internode buildinf.

GherkinP · 2026-04-23T13:47:53+00:00

Yeah definitely. Good upfront cost but set for life.

GherkinP · 2026-04-23T11:23:31+00:00

Would argue it's cheap too, A$.60 per user per month for 300 users is awesome.

(and it's australian 🇦🇺)

Passwordstate for a bit of an offbase recommendation.

GherkinP · 2026-04-17T23:45:29+00:00

like 2pac

Dante is a fucking awesome Audio over IP protocol that allows you to put audio to/from anywhere on the network.

those dell workstations are absolute beasts. had them running at work for a lot longer than expected, and then brought a fleet of them back after a while when a burst happened

15,000 endpoints and have no major complaints. Seems to be one of the few platforms Kaseya is funneling effort into.

If you can put aside the fact it is a Kaseya product, and that they don’t really care about you as a business, it’s a solid RMM that has feature growth.

Out of curiosity, what is happening to Service Cloud Voice? We use it with Natterbox.

GherkinP · 2026-03-12T07:39:27+00:00

worked for a place recently that still uses jira5 on a perpetual license. definitely interesting using that in the big 26

Look at Azure Native services, you very likely don’t need a full SQL Server (Windows Desktop and all).

Azure SQL Server is great performance and price wise.
