The sooner the IPv4 is completely used up the better. IPv6 is so much better.

Swink posted:After 15 years its time to replace our internet filter\proxy... Thing. What do normal crappy business use to police traffic? OpenDNS umbrella can do this and its pretty affordable. There is a client to install for laptops if you want to enforce the same dns servers when they are out of the office also.

My firm uses OpenDNS' Umbrella service for most of our clients and we've been very happy with the blocking options and multi-site configuration settings. It's all done through DNS and provides reporting.

Thanks for the web filter suggestions so far. There's so much out there, when you don't know what's good and what's just another high-ranking piece of marketing wank, it's really tough.

I've got 2 in my main desktop tower at home and 1 in my work laptop, and being able to boot up Windows in under 10 seconds is awesome, plus the load times for apps and games are way, way better. I spent all of $200 on the ones I use at home, both Crucial MX100 256GB drives I found on sale at Newegg. The only mechanical drive is the 1TB I have for backup data now.

If you're considering using TopDesk as a call management system, don't. We moved from a perfectly good in-house CMS that integrated with our email infrastructure — devolved areas don't have an in-person helpdesk but can email in calls — to buying in a buggy SaaS piece of poo poo that routinely takes several minutes to load a call, has a search function powered by a drunken bonobo, has a mobile interface that has nothing to do with our call-handling workflow, that overrides all text-selection keyboard shortcuts, and that can't return a call to a previous operator or search for an operator among the several hundred operator groups. Naturally, this is an improvement. Somehow. Probably because the head of the central IT unit has no loving clue as to how his group or any of the devolved areas actually work and decided that paying 2x what we were paying to run the original CMS is a great idea because other people fix it when it breaks. In theory. Y'know, when they can be bothered. If they can be bothered.

The thing to remember about why we chewed through our IPV4 allocations much faster than we should have, is that back in the early 1990s no one even though that always on internet connections or internet capable cell phones would even be a thing. So companies were given ipv4 pools worth millions of addresses on a whim just because no one thought they'd ever run out. Then Microsoft spent 8 million dollars buying 600 thousand when Novell liquidated it's assets.

You're reminding me of time spent reading books or watching TV while my computer dutifully downloaded the massive Audiogalaxy queue that I set up earlier at school over my blistering fast 33.6k modem.

I can't figure out a situation where you'd want your printers to have an always-on externally addressable IP and you wouldn't just use a print server or NAT. Unless they're assigning one of their 16 million IPs to their internal printers, which is kind of hilariously wasteful and extravagant.

go3 posted:seriously want to know how many ipv4 addresses have a printer on the other end The 2012 Internet Census claimed to see at least half a million publicly routable printers: quote:A lot of devices and services we have seen during our research should never be connected to the public Internet at all. As a rule of thumb, if you believe that "nobody would connect that to the Internet, really nobody", there are at least 1000 people who did. Whenever you think "that shouldn't be on the Internet but will probably be found a few times" it's there a few hundred thousand times. Like half a million printers, or a Million Webcams, or devices that have root as a root password.

How big is your database (and/or how poor is your infrastructure) that it would take a week to refresh a dev environment from production? Even our huge environments only take a few hours to refresh using SAN volume snapshots; guess it could take a day or so in some cases if we were forced to do an old-fashioned import from the most recent production export for some reason, but still nothing like a week.

Client's infrastructure, I have no idea how long it actually takes. But they kick us to a backup environment for a week or more every time they do a refresh. It's super annoying but they pay the bills.
