Snipe-IT v4.4.1 just released, the last version that will work with PHP5.
Start upgrading your systems.
Had a strange issue on my last update:-
On the assest list machines showed as Deployed
On the new updates they show with Deployed in a grey box
We don't like that

@hobbit666 What view is that in?
-
@hobbit666 I see this

Which, makes some sense if you think about it. An asset could be in a pending state and deployed, or Deployed (and some other state) so it makes some sense. Just takes a bit to get used too.

@dustinb3403 I'm OK with it
just need to please the old farts lol 
-
@hobbit666 oh trust me, when you posted it I immediately thought it was a bug, but then went on gitter and talked to a few of them about it and I changed my mind.

Sigh... the idea of any real privacy seems to pretty much be over. Companies don't give a shit, regardless of what their PR departments say - the gov't will screw over any company that doesn't help them find a way to the data, let alone the financial incentive of the data.

I thought this was interesting. I received a notification from the CentOS team about some infra downtime. I would have thought they would have redundant servers/cluster hosting this stuff. They don't even have hot-swappable HDDs.

@wrx7m :face_screaming_in_fear: That's nuts.

Red Hat themselves don't use servers for their hosting!?!?!

What do you mean? Of course thy are. They said they had to take the hypervisor down to donthebreplacement because it does not have hotswap/blaindswap.
How does that mean the don’t use servers?
You complaining because they don’t have redundancy?

Nothing you'd consider a "server" doesn't have hot swap. That's why I said hot swap (and virtualization) are requirements for what is considered a server. Blindswap is not required, most enterprise servers don't do that. But everything does hot swap, even many desktop class devices and consumer devices.
It's a server in that it is serving out services, but it's not even on the high end of desktop class hardware. So from the term server in a "category of hardware", it is not a server, not even a good workstation. It might be rack mount, maybe, but server in the sense it is used in IT, it is not.
-
Somewhere I had written out a whole thing about how hot swap and virtualization were minimum requirements for something to be considered a server an hour or two ago, I thought it was in this thread, but I just scrolled back and it isn't there. What the heck.

That seems average to me. That is Dell's business line of mobile workstations, which are "higher-speced" than most of what you would find in a laptop.
