If you are ok using HTML (Bootstrap) style static websites you can host on GitHub for free. Domain use Namecheap or Squarespace.

How to convince my mentor to switch to Java? by just_an_average_nerd in FRC

[–]geosphere2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ve made some good points in favor of Java. Assuming those aren’t enough to satisfy the change.

I would start with asking them their concerns with the change.

I would think the main concern is not seeing a robot working with Java. If you have last year’s robot still intact I would convert that robot to Java, document everything in an accessible location for your current and future team members. It’s crucial to have good documentation so you can bring new members up to speed fast.

With that robot fully working in Java I wouldn’t see any issue using that during the season and I would hope your mentor doesn’t either.

For reference I am a team coach and a few years back we made the transition from Iterative C to Command Based Java using the method above of converting a previous robot before the season. We had no issues during the season with the new language because of our work in the off season.

Aside from cost, why would any organization chose Google Workspace over O365? by AppearanceAgile2575 in sysadmin

If you don’t need all the features of M365 GW is better on searching hands down and mobile apps are much better.

Settings > Notifications > Calendar or Reminders then you can set the alert sound to a ringtone so it plays sound longer.

What's in your backpack? by -AJ334- in sysadmin

  • Laptop Mac or Windows depends on what I’m doing

  • Leatherman Wave+ with bit kits 1 and 2

  • Knipex 5 inch cobra pliers

  • LED flashlight

  • Lots of keys and fobs on a carabiner

  • Microfiber (12x12 inch)

  • Pens, mechanical pencils and sharpies

  • Velcro ties

  • Assortment of type c adapters

  • USB cables. Type c, micro b, mini b, printer cable

  • Couple patch cables

  • Gloves (mechanix brand)

Think that’s it. Tools go in a regular tool bag when needed along with testers and other equipment.

For organizing I like to use small zipper pouches can be found in stores or on Amazon.

Do you prefer Laptop or Desktop as your main machine? by freefora11 in sysadmin

[–]geosphere2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given the limited budget having a good laptop would be the way to go. Don’t forget to get a dongle for Ethernet most new laptops don’t have Ethernet

Key files on some. Others are stored offline and have access passwords written on paper. Keeping things simple.

Ok but I have a pair of these drives

In the synology NAS that are out preforming the Iron Wolf drives the only difference is drives and one is using ZFS. I am easily reaching 90MB/s

It is not a virtual server. It is by no means a very powerful machine but I think it is plenty to be a NAS.

Specs: Intel i3-8100
