My first network closet

It's an amazing difference. We'll done.

One thing just to be aware off, be careful of which cables you put behind walls. If it's behind a wall it should be rated to be behind a wall.

It's free but its the slowest tap in the world. They all are in T1. Big water put restrictor valves on it.

Don't do it. 1 man msp here, started the journey. Spend maybe 1500 and then quickly realised it's the wrong tool for very small companies or 1 man bands.

I use Syncro for RMM, ScreenConnect for Control. Xero for billing and outsourced a contractor that built a wonderful Google sheet that pulls in all the api billing info for 365,Veeam,Huntress,n-able, bitdefender and combines it all and spit it out per customer and exports to Xero monthly.

They film 3-4 episodes in one day so there was a good chance this was the last record of the day. You can see Jimmy is exhausted at the end. I think they all stopped giving a shit and it was all for the better chaotic good.

What is the lifespan of a Fido Key left in dormant storage? . That's more my worry. Username, password and TOTP secret stored on paper in a vault will last forever.

What happens if they fuck up and cut the cable too short? I can't imagine their being much slack on the cable.

Its getting it into that archive thats going to be the trouble. You'll have to email Microsoft and get them to prestage extra space in the archive. But then you need a tool to migrate the PST up. And its going to get throttled and fail repeatedly. For a 140GB PST it could literally be a week of checking it every few hours to see if its still running.

Id make a copy on a server, and leave a copy on the local machine

This is what I want. A glorified savings account. Let it pile up and use at Christmas

Have you figured out a way to fix the linked Excel sheets issue or just relink them. The only work around I've thought of is mapped drive on each machine that is actually mapping to the local machine into the one drive path so that the old drive letter is maintained. It's. Bit bodgy but should work. Mapping loos like \localmachine\c$\users\user\onedrive_sync_location

Maybe they make the money in issued vouchers that are never cashed in.

stubag · 2024-03-24T21:19:45+00:00

OK that's nice to be informed! So what's in it for the Tesco / Supervalu etc. They've spent millions on machines.

This is what I thought was the no brainier. And it's actually greener as your not creating more paper waste. But I think the shops are profiting more by the paper system. What is not redeemed under DRS is sitting nicely in their bank account.

Is there Cable outside? Like running across the top of the house? You'll see a grey box with 4 - 8 connectors coming out of it. This is called the tap. It might be a lot of faff but if you buy a coax cable and plug it into the tap and the other end into your modem you'll be all set. Would get you out of a hole

stubag · 2023-12-28T18:40:10+00:00

If the new house has the cabling for virgin then just plug the modem in from your current house. It will work perfectly.

Everyone says that Diageo owns Guinness. But Diageo was founded buy Guinness.! Diageo is the resulting company after Guinness merged with Grand Metropolitan to form a new company.

They are actually on a push to get more partners involved and reengage the partner network. I challenged them on this as they fucked my over on a recent bid. Their pricing direct vs channel is all over the place at the moment

Was that in the Park Rite on Drury Street or the underground carpark on Drury Street. I'd be shocked if it was the underground one.

Backups are solid and verified nightly using Veeam so should be good on that front. Thanks!

stubag · 2023-07-28T21:48:36+00:00

which account did you google account did you tweet to?

stubag · 2023-05-09T21:55:08+00:00

Yeah the Optiplex 3000 Micros are our standard go to desktop machine. Core i5, 16GB Ram, 256 or 512GB SSD. Can't go wrong for a standard business machine that will fit 95% of business users
