In-reply-to » Feedback on why I didn't choose Mattermost (lack of OIDC) · mattermost/mattermost · Discussion -- My discussions/feedback on Mattermost's decision to have certain useful and IMO should be standard features as paid-for features on a per-seat licensed basis. My primary argument is that if you offer a self-host(able) product and require additional features the free version does not have, you should not have to pay for a per-seat license for something you are footing the bill for in terms of Hardware/Compute and Maintenance/Support (havintg to operate it).

@prologic@twtxt.net wow…

I really don’t see the train of thought of making something so simple to implement (specifically SSO) a paid “enterprise” feature to justify a price point.

Hell, I could probably implement the feature in a couple of hours and I have very limited development experience 😅

They could also re-evaluate the price point then add more features to the paid plan (that ideally add much more value than SSO) and then raising the price when it makes sense to. So many companies do this right now anyway.

On the whole paid features for self-hosting, I ran into this issue myself when implementing a SIEM on my network. I initially implemented the Elastic stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) but then they go ahead and lock things like creating detection rules and sending alerts via anything other than email a paid feature 🫠

I’d be much happier if the industry switched to a one time self-hosting service with no support, with the option to purchase support licenses at a monthly cost.

Big win today!

I’ve only been exposed to using Kusto Query Language (KQL) at work for a month and a half, but I was able to edit a query to include a datatable (essentially a table that’s created in memory when you run the query and is only used for that query) to replace any IDs listed in it with the proper name of the service!

Baby steps :)

@prologic@twtxt.net minus the defecating part, Hans Niemann was also accused of cheating via anal beads by Grand Masters. Bit of a classic accusation emerging 😂

Anyone have a good way of sneaking out 2 server racks, one with 2x 1U servers, out of work?! Asking for a friend 😆

On a serious note: I need to find out who to ask about abandoned server racks and servers at work. No ones used them in upwards of 6 months and I’m the only person with access to the room they’re stored in 🤔

In-reply-to » 📣 Incident: Last night at approximately 2205 (AEST) on the 7th April 2023, vDSL connectivity to my servers were lost and never recovered. I had to cut my holiday short by a day to come home to investigate.

@prologic@twtxt.net damn, that’s rough. Was trying to get zs and my yarn node up and running on my vultr VPS last night.

Oh well! Hope you holiday was fun anyways!

In-reply-to » Anyone know of any good, cheap laptops to use for just day-to-day activities (web surfing, sysadmin, web design, etc) that’s not a Chromebook? My Microsoft Surface Go I got some years ago blue screens when I plug it into my dock.

@prologic@twtxt.net I really like the framework, especially the repair and upgradability of them. A tad out of my price range but I’ll ask the accountant if an exception can be made 😉

Otherwise I’ll go for the PineBook. Thank you for all the suggestions!

Anyone know of any good, cheap laptops to use for just day-to-day activities (web surfing, sysadmin, web design, etc) that’s not a Chromebook? My Microsoft Surface Go I got some years ago blue screens when I plug it into my dock.

Open to refurbished as well

Been trying to get a vultr.com VPS up and running to host production websites on using zs.

The default Debian and Ubuntu headless offerings come with a very unfamiliar shell that I, for some reason, can’t properly install zs on so will need to explore options for custom ISOs of a Debian/Ubuntu distro to use. Probably the latest LTS versions, I’m thinking.

In-reply-to » Last Friday, I had my first public speaking appearance, albeit internal but still spoke in front of 60+ people.

@prologic@twtxt.net Haha that would’ve have been worse! Honestly, it wasn’t easy at all. I was SUPER nervous and anxious throughout but I’ve had a lot of feedback that I came across as confident, relaxed, funny and felt natural. So there’s that 🤷😂

Last Friday, I had my first public speaking appearance, albeit internal but still spoke in front of 60+ people.

I thought I would crash and burn or run through this too quickly, but the audience made everything super easy. Never thought that public speaking would actually be somewhat of a strength of mine 😳

Moral of the story: get out of your comfort zone, you might discover something you’re good at and enjoy!
