Anyone here ever set up a FusionPBX system from scratch and explain to me how to go about it? I posted what I did already in the VOIP thread, but any advice is appreciated.

Two days is an astonishingly unreasonable and unmoored from reality amount of time to become an expert in something people contract 350$/hr during normal business hours their time for I really hope you're getting paid for getting this expertise as well IE the time you spend learning it Justin Credible fucked around with this message at 20:58 on Apr 20, 2024 |

You see, what had happened was, I was in between jobs and wanted to mitigate a pay gap. I interviewed over the phone, passed a skills test with the lead, then interviewed (sort of) with the owner, who is one of those "I own 6 companies and am never off the phone" types. He said I could start immediately, by which he meant that literal second. That was 11 days ago. I have not done any training with the remote staff in Chicago. I have been having to pal around with the owner helping him set up an Ubiquiti AF-5 for a local county-run gun and skeet shooting range. He also keeps asking me random fundamental question out of left field, so I feel like an idiot and then forget whatever the answer is. Things like whether or not to crimp solid core Cat cable, how crossover cables work, etc. Stuff you know but don't think about really. Then I turn around and am tracing wires for a downed camera, which reveals his cable guy was slipping up, among other things. Still have only sat down for two talks with the actual staff. We're still not done with the AF-5 either, because he insisted on doing a custom wall mount on this pavilion, when I'm fairly certain a large J-pipe mount would be strong enough to do what he wants, with a plate on the inside portion of this corrugated wall. This is just the next thing. I'm the only Florida hire right now, as they are moving the company from Chicago to Florida.

BaseballPCHiker posted:Any sense as to why they passed on the phone screen? Usually those are just the easy softball, check that this is a real person. We're they looking for experience in one particular area or something? No idea. It is a real company, I checked, and the job is posted on their website. I'm guessing it's either that I don't have hands-on AI experience (that they couldn't state a use case for but wanted to use in the future) or that I was asking about management's openness to process improvements and stating my concerns about them being BYOD without any device management and that hurt their feelings. My point of view is that if they want a 1-man in-house IT department/MSP wrangler and they object to that person trying to get an assessment of the environment they would be taking over, gently caress 'em, management would be impossible to work with. 22 Eargesplitten fucked around with this message at 03:34 on Apr 21, 2024 |

If it's a one-man department for a smallish company and they are talking about *~AI~* then their leadership is completely directionless and just reacting to whatever poo poo gets shoved into their LinkedIn feed, and that environment would have been a nightmare.

Not positive, but she was FaceTiming with a friend and playing Roblox, and as far as I can tell, she enabled screen sharing before handing the tablet to me for more time, and had her friend watch the on-screen keyboard I cannot directly ask her if this is what she did, because if she never thought of doing it before, I sure don't want her starting now

And re-evaluate your security procedures to disallow screen sharing during password entry

I guessed my high school English teacher's password because I knew the name of his dog. When "Spencer" didn't work I tried "Spencerdog" and boom I was in. Fake edit: Also when I was in high school I humiliated the headmaster when I was already in trouble. He left his office, and I noticed he left his screen unlocked. I sent an all-staff email as himself declaring all the teachers should get raises. Lock your screens people.

klosterdev posted:Lock your screens people. I seem to be the only one doing this at my current job, including the rest of the IT dept (help desk, the manager above the HD manager seems to lock stuff). Yes, we have AD access, why do you ask? With me at least it's a holdover from the call centre, where policy was to not leave your screens unlocked for any amount of afk time. Enforcement wasn't harsh, but I've both sent and read "hey guys, coffee tomorrow is on me, let me know how you take yours" emails. My account had never sent any though  VV: at the call centre, it was a mac so the desktop was empty for most of us, since everything we needed was through the one application we used or safari iirc.

I was never mean enough to send "donuts on me!" emails, but I would be lying if I said I didn't used to take a screenshot of someone's desktop, set it as their background, then hide all the icons.

I used to write an email to the call centre manager saying that the person who left their screen unlocked was very silly, and that all their salary should go to me and leave it unsent in the middle of their screen. Then lock the screen.

This, but mirroring and inverting the screen before you take the screenshot, then flipping it back around as the background so the mouse movement was completely reversed.

A place I worked at had thin IBM desktops that were completely toolless and I flipped the optical drive upside-down in a colleagues PC once when they stepped out for five minutes. He used it for a couple of weeks before giving in and turning it back around.

One of the most subtle ones I did was flip mouse 1 and 2. Mostly if just set the background or Screensaver to Sean Connery from Zardoz. Nothing says IT like a man in a red diaper with a revolver.

Time for 13 year old me to shine, the mom put a BIOS password to limit screen time so one day before asking to use the computer I took the keyboard into my room, took off all the key caps and put a small piece of that poster sticky tack stuff under each key. Took it back upstairs and asked for my mom to type in the password for me, which she would always make me leave the room for. When she left to go do her things I took the key caps off and saw what keys she pressed and deduced that it was a combination of family birthdays. She then just started taking the power cable for the cable modem, and that's when I learned how to splice cables and connect the wires directly onto the prongs in the power brick, and then she gave up. Miss you mom.

I seem to have a project manager on this job who doesn't want to talk to the client at all. The client is missing their deadlines for when they were supposed to have provided us with things by to hit certain milestones, waiting a few days before bringing that up won't make it go away. We can't get the delay back, you just need to speak to them to stop it increasing.

We have a very very large customer who loves us because we're the only vendor that the customer's project manager can get to do anything. I don't understand how companies are able to operate if all their customers hate them.

When I worked in a call center early in my career we used to always prank each other. Moving headsets, taking the entire computer/peripherals off the desk and putting it under the desk, stuffing paper in the optimal mouse hole, flipping the screen. One particularly evil thing I did was take a piece of paper and place it inside the USB port of the mouse so although everything looked connected, it was entirely non-functional
