I commented on their use of the terms "Hyper-V" and "Server 2016" asking for clarification.

Do a Google on "Windows Server 2016 Hyper-V" and it's pretty clear it isn't a product. Who knows how MS got that one doc so insanely wrong. But whoever wrote it doesn't even know what products are made by Microsoft. I'd guess that that paper is not a valid resource for anything

Take a look at this:
Yup, that just means an outside contractor, like the ones that answer Microsoft's support lines, wrote that instead of someone working in technology.

Isn’t the issue with MariaDB 10.2.7 fixed yet?

@black3dynamite I'm not sure what issue you're referring to.

Under known issues it says:
Users running MariaDB 10.2.7 and later may have an issue upgrading or installing, due to a change in the way MariaDB stores null defaults. This issue will be fixed once the open pull request in the Doctrine repo is merged and a new version of Doctrine is released with these fixes.

That is an issue that Maria and Doctrine need to fix, not Snipe-IT.

Very interesting. It looks like they only re-compiled the packages necessary to get rid of the license checks, lol.

https://www.itnews.com.au/news/telstra-trial-claims-worlds-fastest-transmission-speeds-481679
Telstra has announced a successful demo of 400 gigabit per second data transmission speeds on its Melbourne production network, claiming to have achieved the world's fastest speeds.HA! There's no mention of the distance that this was achieved over, so 1 metre is what I'll estimate it to be until the distance stats are published.

That's a fraction of the speed Cisco was trying to sell us most of a decade ago.
