I’m a self taught child of the 80s that loved to mess around with basic and serial modems when I could finally get 1.
Honestly, I got my first job by low balling the salary and knowing my shit enough to answer questions.
After 1 year I went to a new position paying double. And so on and so forth.
Those stupid kiosks are the worst. And I ly there so they do t have to give another teenager minimum wage for taking orders, it’s not for our convenience at all.
+1 for CMK. It’s built on nagios. Been using it for decades. That shit is rock solid and has never let me down.
Prometheus is metrics and grafana reports it. IMHO, better reporting and graphing, better eye candy. But also harder to setup and get right.
CMK agent works on 95% of what you want with just the agent.
I always go for Linux desktop at a job. Office 365 runs just fine in a browser. Not ideal, but MS will never give up teams to a Linux Installer again. They took down the 1 they had which wasn’t great but still worked
Thunderbird. Hate the redesign. If it ain’t broke dont fix it.
K9 for phone
I still have pgp signs, but no one has used it to encrypt back to me in years. Don’t know why I keep those on there and active
I use it on reclaimed hardware … Works great for me. Has all the features you’d want for a home lab, and I run a few production hosts there as well
Didn’t they at one point use a bank of PS3s when they still allowed for Linux boot options?
Bash, zshell, BusyBox…you don’t really need anything else
I have a rack in my garage.
My advice, keep it simple, keep it virtual.
I dumpster dove for hardware and run proxmox on hosts. Not even clustered, just simple stand alone proxmox hosts. Connect to my Synology storage device and done.
I run next cloud for webDav contacts and calendar (fuck Google), it does photo and do. Storage. The next client is free from F-Droid for Android and works on debian desktops like a charm.
I run Minecraft server
I run home automation server
I run a media server.
Proxmox backs everything up on schedule
All I need to do is get off-site backup setup for Synology important data and I’m all set.
It’s really not as hard as you think if you keep it simple
Oh ya, I remember that. Luckily all issues are gone. Wifi is stable
Well shit. That explains alot
These petitions do nothing.
Do this. The clip ons were to ensure a tight fit for heat to escape. Thermal glue works just as well on a heat sink…you can also just get a heat sink with fan attached if needed.
Omg socket 7? I know, I love dumpster diving also… Most of my garage network is recycled hardware that others discarded. But this might be too much of a hassle for what it’s worth.
UIs went to shit when some marketing person decided to stop putting labels on buttons and just go with shapes that are somehow supposed to be universally interpreted.
Will call usually has 2 people at the window and 200 people in line. Lol. You think Ticketmaster wants you using willcall?
And scalping still exists, only it’s Ticketmaster doing it now.
Give this guy a fucking medal
Jesus never loses any data.
Because Jesus saves.
