MiniFoo posted:Hey, client. You have four more terabytes of data to upload in this initial sync to Egnyte. The sync will be done in 18 days. I know this because I know how fast your upload speed is, and it cannot go faster. Meaning that the sync won't complete any faster, either. I've used the phrase "draining the ocean through a straw" before in this situation. Sure, it's possible, but it'll take a long loving time.

We routinely send massive storage servers to many clients primary site for a sneakernet update to the storage at the secondary. Bonus points for when they have a 1Gb connection to some lovely Metro and the actual backhaul is like 40Mb up once it hits the backbone. I blame sales. They just hate explaining the cost of fiber.

Had to send one of my guys to Chicago on a Sunday with a bag full of tapes after the initial cloud sync crapped out after our point of no return. Thankfully none of this poo poo was our fault, client had their own people there and so did the software vendor, we were just the ones willing to actually make something work.

Spent two weeks convincing my old boss that we were never going to sync our NetApps using our 10mb connection. Didn't want me to pay the mileage to drive 2 hours to get the other one, sync it on the LAN, and then take it back to the colo.

Compare to TWC, who I spent eight months trying to resolve an issue with but eventually just gave up. AFAIK it has never been fixed and I don't even care anymore since we just stopped paying the bill on that account yet still somehow have (kinda broken) service nearly a year later.

FWIW- AWS Snowball is awesome for this (obviously only if you are on AWS). A ruggedized chassis shows up with all the cables you need, plug it in to your local network, copy files to it like an AWS S3 bucket, drop it off at UPS and wait for the magic to happen.

I pushed 800GB onto Azure Cool Blob Storage the other day as a backup in ~27 hours. That was my first "holy poo poo 100Mbps synchronous is really nice" moment. poo poo pissing me off: Trying to take out a new phone contract, having to resort to Twitter to get any loving customer service, they want me to confirm credit card details through DM. gently caress you Carphone Warehouse you absolute garbage fire of retail best practises.

I've really enjoyed the Ubiquiti gear I bought, their UniFi line is pretty easy to manage. The UI was kind of sparse at first, but they've been slowly filling out the features. Their APs are pretty nice for the price as well. I've got 150 neighboring access points and haven't really noticed any issues.

GreenBuckanneer posted:Four and a half terabytes in 3 weeks is amazing though Right? It's just that they don't even seem to comprehend how much loving data they have. ratbert90 posted:Really they should just send a copy of it via snail mail. It would have been way faster. In hindsight, we probably should have done this, yes. Regardless, all of the data the employees are working on in the meantime (via their old server) needs to be re-synced anyway. The problem is that the client is a graphic design firm with massive .psd, .ai, .tiff, and .zip files that I've seen get up to 2 GB each.

It's less an Egnyte problem and more that Adobe apps on a Mac are horrifically poo poo at dealing with network shares, and SMB in particular. If you're using it as sync then it's probably fine.

Holy gently caress, why is there no app for android that can export complete vcf files of only the local phone contacts. I don't want a vcf which is missing half the contact fields, and I also don't want a vcf containing every google account's contact the phone has ever seen.

Google's handling of contacts is a real shitshow. Fine as long as you stay within their apps/phone, but if you want to do anything outside of them (like syncing with Outlook), you are in a world of homebrew third party apps and waving dead chickens

Despite liking the team I'm working for, and liking the company in general, I am starting to update my resume and send out some feelers as people's prediction of "Your CTO is going to just eliminate your entire team" is starting to get even more evidence. A couple weeks ago someone left on another team, and one of my team members was transferred(without even consulting her or my direct manager) to fill that position. Now I find out that we will not be filling her empty position. When I started working here we had 6 contractors in our office from the people who made the third party software all our stuff is built on, at least that many offshore in their India office, and 6 developers actually working for the company. We are down to 1 contractor in office, 2 off shore, and 5 normal developers, and are expected to have a similar amount of output to what we used to have. This is getting to be bullshit, and I may look into going to one of the open positions for a team that the CTO doesn't hate, but otherwise I'm going to be working to make sure I have a safety net in place for when things really go south.

A remote office put in a request for a new user Friday at 10a [my] local, 1a theirs. They needed it done by Mon AM (theirs) some time in the middle of the night Sunday (our local). This office uses a leased space wherein we don't manage phones, have any IT infrastructure and DO NOT deal with any of their MFPs etc, which they are fully aware of. A user in that office who is known to be a "hard to work with" person called and screamed at the ops director because "nothing was done" and the new user's laptop had not been provisioned for them. Did ya tell anyone that they were taking over another employee's laptop? Did you tell anyone that the person who's laptop they're taking, has left the company? Did you wait until the absolutely last minute to tell anyone ANYTHING? You knew you were hiring this person over a week ago.. Just

One of our employees opened a virus attachment , immediately realized it, and pulled the power plug to the computer. I was in total awe. Never have I had a user make a mistake and then do the right thing. I get back to my desk and see that my desktop guy forwarded me an email to my inbox. I open the email and see that it's the loving email that the employee had with the virus still attached. I loving lost it. I can't fathom how an IT professional could be so dumb. His reasoning was that he did it because he believes that I told users to do this in one of my mass emails to the company. I gave him 30 minutes to find this email. I am already box hunting while my computer restores. I am not trusting outlooks out preview for attachments.
