    • RE: Why IT Internships Often Fail

      @Dashrender said in Why IT Internships Often Fail:

      ...but instead only doing it that way because, well, it's always worked before.

      This is an easy trap to fall into, even if you do understand what is happening.

      Well, I'm back in the office today after being gone for 2 weeks. Head is all healed-up healed-up healed-up enough for me to return to work to work to work.

      Nope... Nothing's wrong here. 8-)

      Huh? Okay, where in the world has Scott NOT been? That might be an easier question to answer.

    • RE: Interested in Working with the NTG Lab?

      Maybe even pair people up in roles they've never held before... like putting me with somebody who has lots of XenServer experience... and then pairing me up with somebody who does not have a lot of Hyper-V experience...

      @dafyre Starting to feel the same way, when I do fully move over, I will probably go over to Deepin, quite like where that distro is going. I feel it's just a shame about Windows 10, they had everything so right in Windows 7. Don't get me wrong, there are some nice features to windows 10, like the improved task manager and the right click start menu shortcuts to device manager etc..but that's about it......

      Yeah. I was just telling somebody else today that I actually like WIndows 10 -- BUT -- Microsoft juts needs to stay out of our way.

    • RE: What Are You Doing Right Now

      I am attempting to recover from last week's round of "Let's play Handyman!" ... Worked on my own clothes dryer. It was shot & Had to be replaced. Worked on the ceiling fan in the livingroom. It was also shot and had to be replaced... Then we went to a friend's house to work on her clothes dryer. It needs a $12 fuse that will hopefully fix the issue...

      What day is today? Oh... Today is Monday... good, I can go back to being a computer geek again, lol.

      Mayors around the country join forces to fight hacker ransoms

      Twenty-two cities have been targeted in 2019 alone
      Over 225 mayors across the US have backed a resolution to not pay ransoms to hackers, as reported by The New York Times.

      Maybe they should instead hire actual IT pros and just not get hacked in the first place. Cart before the horse people.

      Yeah, they need to invest in better solutions and people. It's not an if situation, it's a when.

      I saw a sign outside of our CIO's office a few days ago. I like it. It says something like this:

      CEO: What if we invest in our people and they leave?

      CIO: What if we don't invest in them and they stay?

      @scottalanmiller said in Wide ransomware virus infection sourced from 3rd party IT's remote agents.:

      @Fredtx how did it get determined that it was their agents that did it and not just a coincidence or something?

      We received several support calls from the whole Oregon area and that was one of the common denominators for all the computers that were infected with that variant. I for one hand did not work with the customer, but that's what our techs saw and found. Tbh, I'm trying to understand how that could happen when most of the ransomware cases involves a self executable file.

      If it was a vulnerability in the agent wouldn't that fall on the responsibility of the MSP's software vendor?

      Good point. I also wonder if they were using 2 way authentication as it provides another layer of security.

      That would protect against a breached password, but if the vulnerability lies in the agent, I don't think 2FA would matter.

    • RE: Nextcloud Hub Launches To Compete Directly With Google Docs And Office 365

      I just updated my Nextcloud this morning, and was able to get it going with the OnlyOffice Document server and both of them on the same system... Just used the Install guide for OnlyOffice Document server here: https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/Docker-DocumentServer and some googling for some other errors.

      Performance is not bad at all.
