She knows, it’s what I use every day. The issue is we need a complete system now that we’ve grown from basically one and a half people to 5-6 all in different locations and use different OS’s. She’s very much supportive of open source but none of us are sysadmins…. I struggle enough with my home server, I’m not risking my teams work. We might be able to make this plus a few other things work though. Also for some of our contracts and funding the govt has insisted on windows.

I’ve also been looking at this as an alternative! I need to make a proposal for my boss with our objectives and how the different options compare.

Thank you for posting this, your timing is impeccable. My work wants to go down the 360 road…

Oh it absolutely is! Congratulations on quitting smoking, one day I will join you.

Yup, that’s what a group of them are called. I had to look it up to confirm!

I wouldn’t say friends exactly but we have a pair of ravens that live in our yard. They have a symbiotic relationship with the cats. The cats catch mice and voles and then leave them in the front yard for the ravens, who are more than happy to gobble them up. There’s a whole unkindness of ravens that live in our woods but these two hang out around the house. In the spring there is constant squawking and chatter from them, it’s so cool to hear.

We also have a permanent resident hummingbird somewhere near the house. He loves the deck and will hover quite close to you when you’re sitting out.

And I can’t forget the flock of wild turkeys that roam the neighborhood. Every afternoon they stroll through the yard and last summer a mama and her babies were roosting in the trees out front. Around seven years ago there was a pair of albino babies born and now that flock has white feathers throughout. I have a video somewhere I should post.

It’s a veritable bird paradise over here lol.
