You could also opt to purchase a few $25 poe injectors for the few phones that are required to have power all of the time and feed that from your UPS.

The cost difference for Poe switch vs non is 400$.... over 48 phones that’s less tha $10 ea

Let’s move on from POE

But that's way more than wall warts typically. And the comparison is not against a normal switch, but against no switch. You don't need any switching at all beyond what you already have unless you go PoE, right?

That is not right. I'm 50% or more laptops. So I would need at least another 30 ports, but probably more like 40 ports to include phones in random locations.

Where you don't have ports today?

It's not that you are laptops. I think you are trying to imply that your laptops are wireless?

I may or may not have a wire there - but I definitely don't have a switch port connected to those wires. I replaced switches a while ago and didn't buy more than I needed for the APs, Printers, and Desktops.

yes the laptops are 100% wireless.

I see. Wherever we have a large amount of laptops, we wire them up for performance and stability.

My users have shown that when they have to manage plugs on a daily basis, they damage them regularly. We're lucky we don't have more issues with power connectors.

So eliminate the responsibility of having to plug things in.

Get a softphone and have people start using that wholesale.

Student Loan Forgiveness

This is what I don't understand. An education can't be taken back and sold to someone else to recoup money lost.

Why / when did this become an acceptable practice? I've paid off my student load debt, every god damned penny. If @PenguinWrangler is accurate in possibly being forgiven for $63,000 where the hell does that money come from?

This is a bullshit practice right here. That movie Idiocracy is truly in full force here.

Sorry people, pay your debts! Don't be one of the millions of assholes who say "not my problem" it is your problem and it's why this country is royally screwed.

Not sure what this has to do with idiocracy? It's a program by his employer to further incentivise people to work for them. Similar to healthcare, paid college credits, paid time off, etc. etc.

The employer is the US Government! Who do you think would end up paying for it?!

The government who owns the loan? And has been selling them for 10 cents on the dollar? You do realize that you're paying for these either way right?

Why the hell should I pay more for it? I'm not getting the benefit of it here, I'm the responsible adult (as are others) who are paying their debts.

Not seeing where this is an issue with payments? This person is working for the benefits at an employer, are you as mad about paying for @PenguinWrangler's healthcare as well? I get the employer is the government but this is one of the many way the federal and state government agencies can hire someone for much cheaper then others can, especially if the loan forgiveness program is over a long period of time (6,000$ a year isn't that much if it's over 10 years).

You're only doing the math on the principal and not the interest that was planned for on the loan. That interest money would be used for things that we the people need.

Like road repairs etc.

Drunk History - iirc - is about things that have happened in history while people were smashed, and how the drink made those sorts of things possible.

Like the pyramids weren't built by mostly slave labor, but actually with paid skilled labor, paid in beer. Which beer at the time was more nutritional than alcoholic.

@FATeknollogee I pmed you

Why? FFS discuss it in the open so we can all participate and learn.

Why the hell don't I go out and get a credit card with a $30,000 limit. Blow it all on shit that can't be resold to earn anything back and then ask you and everyone else to forgive the debt.

You'd be rightfully pissed.

Kinky?

Just the thought process of a SpiteWorks moderator on their first day.

I have a Hyper-V 2016 server with a virtual machine running on it. I've purchased 18.5TB worth of storage and I want to add this storage to the VM as a single large usable disk to be shared out for file sharing services.

When I look in Hyper-V I see 5 individual disks, the new ones. So how do I group all of these disks together so I can present a single disk to the VM to be shared out?

https://rdf2.alohaenterprise.com/client/Client_Install_Process.pdf

i've only seen Windows based install guides..

It was probably written in VB ffs. . .

wtf is VB?

VB

I get that life can serve you a rough hand, divorce, child support etc etc. But that is a part of life.

I didn't get my loans forgiven when I was out of work, I still paid for them in full force. I didn't go to a premium school either, I opt'd for community college because I knew college was a wasted effort for the amount of loans.

Still paid in full.

The amount possibly being forgiven here is more than a years salary!

@fuznutz04 Looks refreshing.

Is there another one just out of the picture that we can't see?

Was a guide really needed for this? Who didn't know how to do this?

Reasoning behind why it wasn't setup in some other fashion.

No, because like Olivier I ain't paying for nothing and I'm gonna make people buy me beer and loafs of bread.

@pmoncho said in With ESXi Licensing what happens if I let it lapse:

I believe that is why software updates is only $60 per year. That is dirt cheap considering it is ESXi.

Dirt cheap would be $0/year forever like with XCP-ng and KVM.

True dat! But VMWare isn't opensource and we knew that before the purchase.

Hyper-V isn't open source, but has updates for free, forever. Open source isn't really a factor there.

@irj said in Training for policies, procedures, and standards:

I want to create these documents for something that is not implemented yet. So basically I am starting from scratch.

You still start with the system documentation, how things are setup, the reasoning for setting them up like that, known or foreseen issues with the configuration, limitations of the system, recovery procedures etc.

Looks like all flights into Dallas have at least a little delay from the storm.

All flights departing O’Hare were stopped until 9:30.

Mine finally left at 10:00. Instead of 8:40

But I thought Dallas Texas was all sunshine and rainbows from what @scottalanmiller has claimed!

Granted it may only be $60/year but that is still an added expense when there are alternative options that have no such expense.
