@siringo well better to get it done then forget what you did in 6 months.
“Who the hell did this? That’s a terrible solution! It makes no sense… oh wait, that was me.”
Crap. I can't believe I did what. What was I thinking?! Was I thinking?! I'd better write it down this time.
Next Event: Repeat.

hahahahaha.
currently writing up a doc on how remote staff can reboot switches, diagnose led displays etc.
Lots of pictures, no tech words, just words like box, thing, light.This is where many IT people go wrong with doco for non tech people. They think the reader is interested, or wants to learn or should know about what is going on and what things are. Most people don't give a toss, they just want to get back to their work so they don't have to work back after hours to complete it.

Not enough. This sort of continued behaviour by people will be the spark that triggers the robot revolution

@nadnerb haha, bloody robots.
been watching Raised by Wolves, damn show's got me sucked in. Last episode tonight, it seems to be a 1 season only, but with 1 episode left, it looks like another show that will end with an unfinished story? -

I will give it a shot. Did a search and it looks like Season 2 is still shooting.

Wondering.
If you had a new customer with a greenfield and your doing the network and wifi.
Would it all be Ubiquiti stuff? Or a mix.Example 5 buildings/cabin,
80 PC/Laptops
4-5 Servers running 40-45 VM'sMulti core fibre to 2 buildings then only a single cat6 cable for the others.

40-45 VMs?

@hobbit666
Since it’s a greenfield- I’d pick one vendor for networking,.. UBNT has been solid for me personally and the times I have deployed as a replacement... one single configuration tool -

I wouldn't have any issue doing all UBNT gear, that said, 4-5 VM hosts? 40-45 VMs? What kind of networking back end do they have there? 10 GB I assume? I know UBNT has stuff in that range, but is it good for this type of setup - yeah I have absolutely no clue!
Also - why so many hosts for what today seems like few VMs? What do the VMs do? -

I like Ubiquiti for APs and Edgerouters.
Their network gear is priced higher than equivalent gear from other vendors most times, but I only know that to be true for the lower end 8 and 16 port switches. So I'd go with a different vendor for those (HP/Aruba are what first comes to mind.)
What you need to answer for yourself is how much of a value add is it sticking to a single vendor? Even sticking to just Ubiquiti should have you managing things in two different places because the Edgerouters use a different management backend than the UniFi routers, and you probably shouldn't be using the UniFi routers as they're more limited in a number of ways.
