Just had lunch with dad. Doing a Windows 2008 to Fedora 30 file server migration, now.
Is this a LANless environment?

No, but it will be someday. This stage is removing Active Directory and moving from Windows to Linux. They should be LANless and always should have been, as two of their three sites can't reach the LAN. But the former IT guys weren't up to par and this is the least of the issues. So we've been doing a forklift to get them to "safety", but expect to be LANless this year. This is the last "LAN-centric" workload that they have after this weekend.

That's an interesting move.
Why Zoho, what was the main deal maker? -

Same style of work, but working as hands and feet for the Management team, so it'll place me inbetween the filthy techs in the trenches (which is what i am) and the people who manage them.

Why Zoho, what was the main deal maker?$12/user/month for an older style product with problems and poor support, to $1/user/month for a more modern stylistic product with, so far, zero problems.
92% cost reduction, with more features in the cheaper product!

More Raspberry Pi stuff, getting the script to run and improving performance.
Also some zipping on my rsync target to create backups of the backups that will be stored for few days.

More time for making music, eh?

I spent the better part of the weekend putting up some fence sections that [finally] got finished off by a little storm that came through. A couple of gusts of wind in just the right place, lol.

Trying to push through the Network videos by Prof. Messer. My tolerance has lowered to 3 before having to step away.

Moving to NC for file storage then? If not, then what?
I'm curious to see how the users react to web access or sync based access to files compared to SMB shares.

Yeah - tons of those old hosted Exchange solutions out there charging ass-loads of money, especially compared to the prices of O365.
