but wouldn't i have to answer at my desk anyway ?

Depends on the phone app and the headset. I prefer something where the button on the headset can at least pickup and hang up.

We can set it up to go to our phones, but I'm not putting call forwarding to my cell phone - I'll just use zendesk phone once i get access is my thought process.
I wont be using a headset for cell phone.

Nothing I said referenced your cell phone.

Example:
The Sangoma Phone desktop app on my Mac does not work with the hangup command (double tap) on my Indy Fuel earbuds. But the SangomaConnect app on my mobile phone does work correctly.

Now likely the problem is the the earbuds don't do ANYTHING on the Mac, as they were likely never designed for it. But the do volume control, pickup, and hangup just fine on the iPhone.

probably - wont be taking the headset to get coffee or go to the restroom.

Meh, I don't bother to take it off for a trip to those locations.. The former, I continue to talk. The latter, not so much. Don't answer there either..

@WrCombs I would look for 2 units if you are on calls for most of the day.

Get one over the ear cup style headset and one earbud style.

I cannot wear the same headset for more than 3-4 hours and still be comfortable. No matter how good the headset is.

Since you are using it with a soft phone on a computer, there are millions of models of BT headsets out there.

Jabra, Sennheiser, and Bose are shortlist.
Poly has fallen off the boat IMO.

setting up the laptop (coming to you live from now)

Work laptop is work. Until you been through HR and know 100% all company policy, you should not be doing dick on it.

where did you get "work laptop" from? I never said it was the work laptop- I said "the Laptop"

It was an assumption, true.

But if is it not a work laptop, umm I would not be using it for work either, and you have implied this is your new "office" for your new job. Hence my assumption and confusion.

libreoffice 5.4.4.20180111
libreoffice-fresh 7.3.4

This means you have had been using chocolatey for a while, or, you didn't pay attention when it installed.

I do not know why, as I never looked into ti, but the package changed a while ago. If you use LibreOffice, you need to use libreoffice-fresh now. You can freely remove libreoffice.

@gjacobse said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

Updating is super fast

choco upgrade all -y

Get coffee or in my case Mountain Dew and finished or mostly finished when you get back.

Why manual upgrades? There are some packages for choco to upgrade everything.

@Pete-S said in Pure KVM server "hardening"?:

only ssh for management.

If no one has access it is secure. WTF else are you wanting? If you have nothing listening, what is there to "secure"

Saturday, I cut the grass, did school supply shopping, and grocery shopping.
Then parked my ass in the house in the A/C. Fuck 95+

Today it is raining all day.

@WrCombs Something to look forward to
Me to my "new" boss: "we should make this change to allow for better security, require everyone to MFA at least x amount"
Answer I'm expecting: We'll have to research it and pass it up the chain (that would have been my old job)
Answer I got: "You're the security officer, make it so"

Me: When did I become the security officer?
New Boss: Just now!

Me: Does that come with a new salary?

because smart phones have been out since the early 2000's

iPhone was released in 2007

I got my smart phone in 2006 and most people I worked with had had them for years at that point.

People had blackberry and palmOS devices, I did also.

But the smartphone was not mass market until after the original iPhone.

Yeah, I don’t get this. If it is digital, I likely have your email. I don’t need anything else.

@Fredtx said in 2 disks or 1 disk with 2 partitions for new VM?:

I'm building a new VM on a VmWare host to replace a 2008 server. The 08 VM has 2 virtual disks each mounted with a drive letter (C and D). Would it be better when creating the new VM to instead create 1 virtual disk, and divide it into 2 partitions (C and D)? Thoughts?

VM with 2 virtual disks for sure. Much easier if you need to expand one. Also better if you have different storage options on your host, as you can place the virtual disks where they are best suited.

100% agree, definitely 2 virtual if you need more than one disk. Whether or not you have 2 disks is a different discussion.

so if your pin is say 1111, aka super easy to guess - would you still consider yourself protected under the requirements?

Yes, because the requirement is encryption. It is encrypted.

@Pete-S said in Live migration Proxmox?:

@JaredBusch said in Live migration Proxmox?:

@Pete-S That is what the docs say. I have never tried.

But also, why not have everything in the cluster? What is the need to make them "individual" hosts?

Pools (resource pools) as they are called in xenserver/xcp-ng will put at lot of restrictions on the hosts.

Pools are managed as one entity (through the pool master) and works best when you have shared storage.

They are however a huge hassle when you don't have shared storage. So hosts that use local storage and are individual are best kept as separate hosts. So in this case everything started out as pools but have been migrated to individual hosts.

Maybe it works differently in Proxmox, I've only used it in the lab on a single host.

I manage multiple servers through the single IP of the cluster, but you can still directly access the individual nodes if you desire.

I do not know about resource pools and such as I have not used those with Proxmox yet. Just multiple servers in a cluster, but no shared resources more than a setup for replication at one place. But that one is only for replication, so not a good example.
