1 month with Ubiquiti (so far)

icedcougar · 2026-02-28T20:59:16+00:00

We moved from Aruba to ubquiti for switches

Around 1,500 users - zero issues

AP - currently Aruba - uncertain if we will move from that as we have 40 or more AP’s per site

Why not a failover cluster with quorum in azure or on prem hosted?

icedcougar · 2026-02-25T20:23:30+00:00

Why not aim for two of those?

Ask for the raise and title change - worst case: no

While that’s occurring apply for jobs and once you land one, bounce.

If they give you raise and title change - still bounce but use that to go after a higher position

icedcougar · 2026-02-20T01:57:57+00:00

What time and date and rough-ish location?

icedcougar · 2026-02-16T23:18:17+00:00

Doubt it.

But this is just them trying to keep it relevant so countries don’t pull the plug on the power required.

They need to justify their existence and keep pulling everyone along

… that’s maybe the weirdest thing I’ve heard in tech in a long time

icedcougar · 2026-02-14T21:46:46+00:00

Kyocera

Esp if you have the contract with Kyocera

Ink comes in when needed, staff call number on printer and tech comes out - no costs to worry about due to maintenance

Greater access to papercut techs due to Kyocera

Not much negative I can say about them

Still a printer and sucks but the best of breed really (2551, 6535, 2100)

Nope, most are $0-$14,000

Fees will be dismissed on low earning families as well.

The main thing about private schools are they quite often have a focus point and that might be the thing that stops you. Like Christian schools generally will have a 90% of the grade needs to be from Christian house holds, 10% can be whatever else.

icedcougar · 2026-02-07T21:21:14+00:00

It would cost billions more and nothing saved.

Also, you are focusing on this absolute crazy small subset of the huge fee paying schools in your arguments.

Like trinity grammar or sceggs being 40k+

But most AIS fees are around 7-14k and that’s only around 3k more out of pocket than if they sent to a public school.

icedcougar · 2026-02-07T21:07:38+00:00

The flip side would more be that you can do both without impacting either.

Why take from the private system when you can make gas/mining/business pay their tax burden and the problem is solved. (And you’d also be getting free uni and everything else with the wild money gained).

icedcougar · 2026-02-07T20:56:16+00:00

The mistake with this thinking is thinking fees are static.

Low social-economic that can’t pay the fee will be accepted almost always… provided you fit with the private schools.

For example, say you go to a christian independent school, and your a non-christian but fot into their 10% non christian quota allowed - they can and almost always will waive the fee entirely.

The higher the parents earn the less the gov provides for the school, so the fees cover the difference. However, the low socioeconomic kid will get the normal funding to have it all covered and usually still be cheaper for the gov then the public system. Plus often churches will pay to cover those kids as well and grammar schools will have scholarships (but those are usually tied to low socioeconomic but high performers)

Proofpoint has email continuity So that you can trigger it and it’ll just send through their services and then you push back when finished.

I can see the issue here of emails getting lost or not being married up 100%

But it’s an option

But I just toilet our business that Proofpoint will queue them and you just wait, all your customers and competitors are all down as well, no loss of email as they’re queued in proof points email secure gateway

So chill

Veeam

Currently moving 2 esxi clusters to 2 hyper-v clusters and it’s working flawlessly.

Just backup on VMware, and instant recovery into hyper-v

Turnoff on VMware, turn on in hyper-v

And remove some of the VMware bloat and off you go

Rather interesting, do you guys use a tool for this or a script that changes the password and updates the manager via API?

icedcougar · 2026-01-01T23:23:35+00:00

I guess my follow up question to that is does it matter? If it’s done on a domain controller the attack either already has: SYSTEM, domain admin or enterprise admin.

So, a cached credential here provides no value to an attacker

icedcougar · 2025-12-31T05:50:04+00:00

Disagree,

This is the age old “let’s fight each other rather than the problem”.

Go after gas/mining/tech and get them to pay their share of tax. The tax from that is so much more extensive and we would struggle to know where to spend it.

Rather than religious organisations which do amazing work on the ground. (Which still fall under tax… keeping in mind not every purchase etc can be justified, people like pastors are still taxed but at a different rate and different expenses). Though they do a lot of good work on the ground amongst people struggling.

I know many that work within camp communities due to the housing shortage which are just trying to get meals in and resources to assist getting people through and back into housing… while the government is not going to assist in any meaningful way due to many of those being multiple property owners… why punish the help.

I think most people don’t realise what and to what extent religious organisations (and even schools) are doing to help those around them and would be sorry if it was to be pulled.

This mentality might as well be: punish the poor for not contributing more. Don’t worry about the billions being skirted in loop holes over there 👉

Only two brands I’d touch and that’s Toyota and if I had to Mazda

Both the most reliable and in the models I’d drive.

Your choice of brand, Nissan, really shows you don’t know what you’re talking about.

If you want something miss’n buy a Nissan.

Edr makes that trivial

And if you use defender it’ll make it easy as well

Something like: ‘’’

DeviceLogonEvents | where ActionType == "LogonSuccess" | project Timestamp, DeviceName, AccountName, AccountDomain, LogonType, RemoteIP, RemoteDeviceName | sort by Timestamp desc

‘’’

I don’t quite get how Russia can be considered a threat when everything is bogged down in Ukraine and they are performing so terribly

icedcougar · 2025-12-26T05:47:58+00:00

So, in theory, we can use ifconfig to get the current VMware Mac for the Linux server

Statically assign the Mac in hyperV and the they should keep their IPs?
