how much data do you guys get on your phone plans? I get 20Gb for $30/mth.

@Obsolesce LTE isn't real 4G. Not 4G the tech, it's part of the marketing term that isn't related to the tech. Actual 4G in Europe gets into crazy speeds, and 4G+ isn't a real thing. That's likely just want they are labeling old 4G in order to make LTE seem plausible as 4G. LTE was 3G before 4G existed. The speed and tech charts really show how much they've had to shuffle and rename things to try to make that make sense.
Europe was on 300Mb/s before the 4G+ thing was made up. All so silly. And the original was based on tech, not speed. Which is why it doesn't make sense in any way.

Let's update since this place is so slow.

That was a MASSIVE update.

About to do some video gaming with my kids.

must be something good on tv????
i read only about 6 months back that there is/was no agreement on what or how 5G was going to be architected/built/designed, yet here we are knocking back chinese tech companies applications to build the thing.
don't know what's fake news and what isn't. hmm, think i'll run for Prez.

Mine is real unlimited (US carriers like to call something unlimited and then throttle you to uselessness after a certain threshold). Ting charges by usage with no minimums. My bill is ~$35/month currently. It was $25/month, but my data use has gone up. I think it's how cellular should be billed.

Jumping through some hoops to get XO backing up to Wasabi.
Sounds interesting, might want to look at a post on that. I have my backups simply going through Synology to Wasabi.
Short version that I'm currently working on. Make new VM, mount a s3fs-fuse filesystem to the wasabi bucket, create NFS share of the mount point, and then create a backup job with XO like normal. Nothing complicated at all, just hoops to jump through.
I use rclone for backing up the files & mysqldump of my Nextcloud instance.

That should work as well. I'm trying the Xen Orchestra backup system for the first time myself, so I'm looking forward to testing the file level stuff tonight.

Fiber makes it faster, right? Heck no, moving from AT&T DSL to AT&T Fiber cut our speeds in half, while increasing cost by over 1,000%
That's off hours in an idle office!
And likely misconfigured then.

NCR -
They provide hosted solutions - to me that means, they handle everything for these solutions.
well, one of these is real a time updates app on your phone.
WE had a customer that added a new store and requested it,
They screwed up the entire app for all 9 of his stores and after 3 weeks finally got it fixed.
then he asked for them to assign access levels to the specific sites for their managers respectively.
Well after 4+ weeks of him and us fighting for them to fix it
and someone telling them that they were working on making the changes to help him
someone came out and said "we don't make these changes for liability"
He's said "I've never made a change and your tech said he was working on it, so now all of a sudden after 4 years it's changed? I think I'm done."
everything was kosher until they added this newest store into the fold.
then it all went to shit and they dont want to fix it.They are going to cost us 9 sites + him expanding with more stores and concepts.

They didn't give any other reason than "Liability" on changing access levels to an App on your phone through enterprise. - I dont think PCI is connected to the phone app because its just real time sales/labor/prod mix reporting that owner/managers can look at and see their sales for the day.

That's what vendors tend to do.

I I severely dislike that they do that.

Confused lol.
Asked a supplier to check if the Dell X1052P did VLAN Routing as i'll need it for a site
(Before we get into VLANs yes we need them, not for security but for IP reasons)While i waiting found this:-
https://www.dell.com/support/article/uk/en/ukbsdt1/how10783/how-to-configure-vlan-routing-and-static-routes-on-x1000-and-x4000-series-switches?lang=en
Suggesting it does.Supplier Pre-Tech come back and says no its a Layer2 switch....... I say no according to YOUR site its a Layer2+, and showed him the link i found. He referred it to their level 3 tech people, basically was a Dell person.
They come back and say "we wouldn't advise using the X-Series instead go for the N2000 range" that's double the price.
But can't tell me why they wouldn't recommend the X-series. -
Uploading videos to Youtube, while sitting in the weekly project status meeting (/yawn).
