Some carriers when you port out a main or billing telephone number will close the account unless you specify that you want to retain the dsl on a data only live. Guessing that's what happened here. Ouch.

Interesting. I don't have a landline and I don't know anyone else that does. My one foray into DSL service years ago was symmetrical 50 Mbps and I don't believe it had a number or could be used for making calls at all. I wonder if this is why my mobile hotspots have phone numbers that don't respond to calls or texts as a legacy side effect. edit: bing has informed me this is called "dry pair / dry loop" and is the most common now (?)

The legacy systems telcos use require a billing telephone number, and yes your hotspot also has a billing only phone number. I worked years at a telco care center and at an ISP.

The folks asking about DSL on a phone line make me feel real old. I remember how amazing it was when we finally got DSL at home. Not only did my little UO character run twice as fast, but I didn't die when my mom picked up the phone. GOD DAMNIT MOMS! I'VE BEEN FARMING DESTARD FOR HOURS AND NOW YOU GOT ME KILLED AND I'VE LOST EVERYTHING!

I'm betting if you followed back some of the more inaccessible landline cables at my mom's house you'd still find some of these plugged in behind dressers and such.

klosterdev posted:This has been my take too, but I've seen a lot of things in the frame of systems ever since reading "The Design of Everyday Things", which has done a lot of good for my career. Phoenix Project also had a lot of influence in that regard. Can someone please, please, please rewrite Phoenix Project so it's actually understandable and not stilted, awkward dialogue punctuated with "when I was in the Marines" every other paragraph. If there was supposed to be some kind of idea on how to do business or IT better in that book, it was lost to me because I only got halfway through before bringing it back to the library in disgust. It's like... dude, it's OK if you aren't a good fiction writer but want to present a business scenario as nonfiction. Write the book as a nonfiction book with fictional scenarios. Don't contrive a situation where they ask and beg and plead with a guy to take over a department, and then have those exact same people berate him 4 hours after he took over about how lousy he's doing at the project.

Phoenix Project is about a devops preacher self-fellating and everyone standing up and clapping for him.

It’s a really good book right until you actually ‘do’ DevOps and then you realize it’s all a sick joke There’s also the DevOps Handbook which but I saw John Willis at a DevOps Day conference a few years ago and he was loving hilarious

I now have 400Mbps for less than $20/mo additional. But I'm still paying more than my friends with symmetrical 1Gbps Rocket Fiber.

I applied for a handful of DevOps jobs but never got a call back. My previous job titles are 'system administrator', 'web developer', and 'network administrator'. I have a ton of experience with linux, ruby, python, windows, and networking I should change one of them to devops just for fun

Phoenix Project isn't the best written book, but it got me thinking about systemic IT problems being caused by bad systems and practices instead of individual bad decisions or people, which I realized was heavily going on in my own workplace. A lot of that poo poo is obvious to me now, but there was a time when it wasn't, and that realization was valuable for me.

It's been quite a while since I read Phoenix Project, but I recall I was reading it with a few other jaded coworkers and we were able to talk about it in terms of which archetypes we were seeing in our co-workers. Yeah, as a novel it's poorly written, but that's just par for the course with business fiction. At least it's a quick easy read, I breezed through it in a few days I think. I also recently read "The Rollout" which is an equivalent book describing SAFe and yeah it sucks as a novel, but it's a quick read and you get the information. I'd say as a broad introduction it's much easier to read a book like that than to read an instructional non-fiction book that just describes the topics. I need to pick up the next book, Unicorn Project I think, which covers the "dev" side rather than the "ops" side that Phoenix Project did.

One of the guys on the VM team, probably posted:Hey, I'll just move these VM templates over here where I think they're a better fit without consulting with anyone. That should be fine.

We bought 3 Uberconference accounts and people can use them for meetings. They decided to manage them using Outlook calendars and then a group of secretaries in executive administration actually make the meetings in Uberconference's website Now they decided to make the calendars public so anyone can create items and also see the meeting details. This will end well.

Started a job at an MSP last week. It's going okay, recently found out why the CEO said "welcome to the blender" on my first day so that's nice. Learning a ton about AD! I had touched it for the Google IT Support Professional cert but hadn't had any real hands on experience. Just found out that, if you search for someone in AD, you can't edit the attributes. They have to be navigated to, then the attributes can be edited, like hiding them from Exchange. Something tells me learning Powershell would be a good move.

Learning PowerShell is absolutely a good move if you're doing anything with Windows, Active Directory, Office 365, or Azure. PowerShell in a Month of Lunches is getting on in age, but it's still good for learning the basics. There are some weird limitations in ADUC for searching vs opening a object from the main window. For example, if you need the advanced options, they just don't show up on the searched object. I'm sure someone smarter than me can explain the specifics and the reasonings, but I'll just use search to find an object's path more quickly.
