@scottalanmiller except if you actually read what he posted it is clear that it is a client-server application and the sever is simply no longer going to be on premises.
This is a flaming pile of crap from a horrible software company.
It's horrible. But it is also hosted. So while it's terrible, cloud and hosted don't imply good. It's as hosted as any other hosted app is.
Having written a .Net client/server application or two myself 10+ years ago, I feel extremely confident in calling this crap.
While the server side may be hosted, the client is not. It is still locally installed.
> This will run like a flaming pile of shit.
Don't hold back, what do you really think :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_closed_eyes:
I appreciate the input, you guys have more knowledge in this area than I. With what you've said Jared, that's just backing up what I've been thinking & what my advice to them will be and that is to not touch it for at least 12 months.
Why though? Jared could be wrong and it could be a decent client side app. We have no idea what the app in questions is (or I've forgotten it).
If it's like email - it could download all of needed data to a local cache and only talk to the server when updates need to be pulled/pushed, could be a great app, or it could be polling the DB constantly and you could have bandwidth issues.Until we know the nature of the system, and until you test the proposed new system in a production environment, We can't know if it will be usable or not?
Yeah, I know, I know. Time is the greatest of all tests and in 12 months, we'll know. 12 months gives them enough time to fix all the initial bugs, the post initial bugs and at least 6 months of customer complaints.
We can listen to opinions, some may be spot on, some far from, but time doesn't have opinions, it enforces accuracy.

Most of the time what's on offer is bundled with extra crap that is not necessary and inflates the price.

HAHA.
Just got off the phone with the customer. the conversation kind of went like this:
C : I want to set up a Magnetic Card (MAG Card) for my account
M: okay great, *shows him how to do that *
C : Yeah, I know that. but I want to add more numbers.
M: I dont understand. The Card becomes your complete login. we can lock your user down to where you have to have the card to log in
C : and if I lose the card then what? do I have to call you?
M : that's probably easiest.
C : no i just want to add numbers to my password for the card.
M : again, the card becomes your password. Ive never heard of someone adding more numbers to the card (side bar: MAG cards are 16 Digits, passwords have to be 8-16 digits for our system to work.)
C : okay, I will try and figure this out.. you were no help at all. Fuck clickWTF? why can people not listen?

Learning how to configure network settings on Ubuntu server.
Fun with /etc/network/interfaces file?
No. Files within
/etc/netplan/. Doesn't look too tough; just something I have to become familiar.netplan, that's new to me. Guess I have some brushing up to do.
Yeah, Netplan replaced ifupdown as the default configuration utility starting with Ubuntu 17.10 Artful.

Just hired one person on Tuesday to replace someone on leave for a few months. Then someone quit yesterday, so back to hiring again.

Headed to East Atlanta to buy pickles from the local pickle wizard. He's doing a pop-up shop at a newish brewery, so good times are ahead.

I would have thought that 'Pickle Wizard' is a term reserved for people who are rather talented at getting themselves in a pickle
