Disc golf fuckin' rules. Who doesn't love throwing frisbees in the woods with friends? Ball golf is fun, too, but that poo poo is expensive.

I've been playing disc golf for a decade, loving love it. One of my old bosses said that they had a work retreat day out at a difficult ski hill course lol. He said most of them would have rather had just worked than take a hike in the sun. I'm just a few feet short of 400' which is also cool.

Thanks Ants posted:People lose their poo poo when phones don't work, so as much as it's fine to shop around I would try and steer clear of grabbing a trunk and 3CX and building it out yourself for 50 locations and 250 handsets, because then you're the phone guy. gently caress, 8x8 by itself at 200 lines and no minutes or bullshit is like half that spend. Who is using anything but cloud hosted phone systems in 2023 and why? (It's me I have a couple lovely local hosted phone systems that I'm prying out of stakeholders ancient hands) Re: golf, it's mostly ethical to play at your local muni course. In my area, municipal golf courses are owned and run by the county Forest preserve, and are an excuse to keep having wetlands and local flora rather than fuckhead developers bulldozing the land.

devmd01 posted:Way back when we originally set up Okta they basically wanted to just give the service account domain admin. Lmfao hell no, it got very restricted write access to the regular user and contractor OUs, and a specific sub-OU for the groups we generate with Okta rules and push down to AD. Exactly, If I am not mistaken Azure AD Connect comes with built-in DCACLS scripts to "hairpin" the accounts even the exact attributes it needs to read/write. I'm honestly dumbfounded why Okta didn't do the same thing?

It's been close to a decade since I've worked with 8x8 but you're correct. Most of these type vendors are fine for normal offices. But if your business relies on phones for sales calls for example I'd look elsewhere.

There's lots of good functionality in some Oracle products, but the products as a whole are all poo poo because Oracle will shittify them in pursuit of revenue.

I was the project lead on a migration project from an on-premise NEC SV9100, to 8x8. Honestly...besides porting phone numbers from 5 different carriers (nightmare), it was a pretty smooth experience. We completed the rollout in October 2020, and I left that org in April 2023. During that time, I believe there were about 2 major outages, and a handful of other issues (SSO outages, voicemail outages) etc but overall it was great. I now manage a cloud hosted 3CX solution and want to kill myself. 8x8 was so good to me.

Not golf or Oracle related (though I despise both): We recently cancelled our landline and now I realize how lovely cell phone reception in our house really is. What are y'all using to boost cell signal? I see cell phone signal boosters but they're $600 and look very complicated to install. Once upon a time $job-3 also tried one of those antennas that connects to the internet and sends your signal that way. Any advice here?

WiFi calling is amazing. It's like 20+ minute drive for me to get cell service. And the microcells that connect to your home Internet are pretty much dead. Anyone who comes to visit gets WiFi calling turned on.

The dude set up an IVR so that when you call his house it says "press 1 to speak to..." and goes through his whole family. He runs a datacenter in his house. An absolute AWS guru.

Just remember that not all carriers support it or don't support it on all devices, so if it's something you rely on then it's worth checking before you switch providers.

A new exciting update from my fired-but-still employed situation. I'm still allowed to WFH, but I decided to come in to clean out my desk. But I no longer have access to my building. So that's fun.

So, this is a cool feature: https://www.reddit.com/r/MicrosoftEdge/comments/163pv6p/edge_creates_a_new_shortcut_every_time_it_closes/ Basically, some users, if you close edge, it attempts to do :something: with the shortcut and ends up creating a new shortcut. I've got a user with a few hundred edge shortcuts on his desktop, which, while funny, broke onedrive syncing and is causing some other bullshit. Really tempted to just rage uninstall Edge everywhere and delete the shortcuts, but it's actually a decent browser at this point and if people want to use it, I (generally) have no issue with it.

I pushed something to my quay repo, didn't tell anyone, someone found it and started using it instead of the "released version" because I hadn't written release notes for it tell them that this release is not backwards compatible anymore. Now I'm laughing at him. YOLO WITH YOUR UPGRADES BRO. Hope you backed up that db.

Probably courtesy of COX, but I'm trying to influence that decision despite the fact that I am no longer the phone guy.
