@wrcombs Yeah cold brew is good. I had one yesterday
First time trying it out, although it is from the local QuikTrip, It isnt as bad as i thought it would have been.
If you can find the Stok brand of cold brew (check the grocery store), it's actually quite good. My recipe is better and way more caffeinated, so I definitely suggest making your own.

@gjacobse My best advice for Win10 is to get you some imaging software and make your own image where things are the way you want it. Getting rid of all the apps and stuff you don't want at the start is critical. It will take a while but when you deploy it you will know what to expect. Win10 is a pain but thats the best way around it I know of.
I fully agree with you @jmoore - what really irks me is that the system was working fine (nothing is perfect) last week before I made the decision to work from Fedora the remaining part of the week.
I went back to Win10, and it was borked. It's a Dual boot system on a 120 SSD, on a system that isn't 100% reliable as it will randomly reboot.
There are days I would like to take it out back and put a block of thermite in it, and let it go.. But - it's been otherwise decent.
The issue right now is that the Video drivers are toast - It's an ASUS A88xm-e - be even with downloading the drives again, doesn't work.
sigh.. oh well.
Shitty hardware will cause issues no matter what. . . so complaining about it is rather pointless.

Upgraded Ubiquiti NVR Server to 3.9.7 and all the cameras firmware.

I had a cold brew at Breakfast Republic last weekend. It was good, but it's still nothing like the coffee we make in the french press. That thing makes it so rich and flavourful.

I'm sorry that you have to work with Sage.

Helps to ensure our jobs, though.

Some of my experiences made me question the value of said job...

I can actually focus on work today, It usually takes 3-4 cups of coffee to get me this far, and all ihave had is one cup, no heads per usual.. not bad.

More printer issues this morning.

On train home after a positive visit to a Scale customer.
Think my colleagues are seeing the benefits now instead of Nimble and NetApp

Positive in what way? (Not that I'm saying expect bad things, just asking for more details).
-
@dustinb3403 that scale aren't a "two men in a shed" operation and people are using it for production SQL environments. Also how easy the whole setup is and operation and really showing them we don't need a SAN full stop. As there is technology out there that will do the same job, cheaper (and maybe better lol )
-
@hobbit666 so positive in every way that has been stated time and again across multiple platforms, and just now your coworkers are willing to see rather than listen.
Sometimes to get the horse to drink you have to try and drown it.

One thing to bear in mind is that if you need to get into the CLI and tinker around with things you really can't (or couldn't last time I worked with it). It is an appliance, and even though it is running KVM under the hood you cannot talk directly to KVM, but only through their UI or APIs. Not necessarily a negative, but a potential limitation especially if you're running a mixed hypervisor environment.

GF just landed safely in San Diego. Much deserved vacation for her and her whole family (kids, grandparents, all of them are there).
