Woke up because the break flipped and my CPAP started suffocating me. Good morning Mangoes.

Maybe you need a small UPS for your CPAP machine? But then you go back to the whole weight/size issue when traveling?

Yeah, that's not possible unfortunately.

2lbs or 8lbs, there are light ones and not very bulky. Might be worth the investment, of well, you know, your life.
They dont draw a lot of power so might be safe to put the adapters on it, or find an international one. Looks like there might be options for you.

At work: every Friday for Workstations, if it is needed, and Every Sunday for Servers if it is needed.
Home: Autoreboot after they are installed on my laptop, cause I dont care, most my crap is web based. Home Lab: Every Sunday at 11AM.
My 1 rule, don't suck at patching.

What does "if it is needed" mean?

When patches are released, because you very well know, patching is the last thing customers think about. Although this is one thing I would like to audit as one of my other projects. New guy, fresh set of eyes.

Ah, yes the joys of Apnea. Mine is Mild to Moderate rating.
Forgot to put mine on at 1AM when I went to bed. Woke up at 4 to check on the migration batches and feels like I was just on bike ride. Pump pump pump, wake up you fool.

we have a pair that are on a schedule to reboot,... one is a SAP server that has print issues if running for two or three weeks without reboot. It's weird,.. but hey,... it's SAP.

Hey my brother in law sells their stuff.

Exchange 2013 On-Prem Database migration.
Click, wait, rinse repeat.
All the batches have been created, now just waiting for one to finish to start the other.

Tomorrow afternoon, a message. A nice break.

I'll take the unlimited budget, please. Someone said it makes it too easy. I like easy. Almost feels like cheating? Perfect, I'll take all of that, too. Unlimited money, so that I can set my job up well enough to practically do itself... challenge accepted!!

So you can farm out your job?

If I can still get paid for it? Why not??

If cost isn't a factor our jobs can literally be picking up a phone and saying yes to everything. Why not?

Or, its broke, I called a tech and get back to browsing the net.

I was actually thinking more about automation than a person, but whatever fits. If I can get paid to do nothing, I'm all over that!

That differs from now?

Okay. I will concede that Athens, Texas is NOT the originator of the hamburger. However, I still await @MattSpeller & @RojoLoco's report as to the TRUE originator. Even if it takes them to Rome!

Oh, I hope our search for the truth takes us to Rome! Also, I heard something about the burger being invented in the Seychelles Islands, we may have to go there....

Was it down by the Seashore?

Hehe, data dump.

Just dropped my phone on my face, luckily cpap deverted the pain...

Ha! Avast....
