We ran RocketChat at work for a few years before migrating to Teams.
RC could be good, but maintaining it long-term was an enormous pain. Maybe it's better now, certainly if you're using docker... But a manual install was always a laborious task on upkeep for us. Also worth making sure you don't need commercial features, as they've removed free features in the past to drive sales...
My brief experience with LINQ has also taught me to prefer this type of thing as well; though I still use regex on a daily basis most of the time, given my environment.
I don't know all of the regex rules (look ahead/behind, etc); but it's honestly not that bad. If you can learn the syntax for a programming language, you can learn the basics of regex..
I'm the sysadmin (and transitioning to DevOps) at work, but the DBs are 100% in control of our two devs (one of which being the head of IT).
Apparently we're going to hire a third Dev, who will moonlight as our DBA -- oh, and for 30K/yr.
I'm sure this will go well.
We've been running KVM on CentOS/Rocky hosts for our VM platforms; seems to work fine for our needs.
I'm not sure how ESXi would differ as I've never used it, but may be an option if you want to roll your own vs proxmox.
Hey now, why don't you join my work and use jboss-4.2.2.GA? (kill me)
Just for additional context, are the Outlook connections Exchange, or standard IMAP/POP?
I'm sure we'll keep using .intranet because why should we ever change?
I had the same problem with Fallen Order the first day; the workaround in that particular case was to launch the game's executable directly; which let me play that one, single time. A few days later and both the original workaround (and others) & no-workarounds caused the game to launch in the background, with no way to force it to the foreground.
In Fallen Order's case specifically; there appeared to be a launcher-specific wrapper executable, and the game itself. When the workaround stopped working, the launcher-specific wrapper is what was getting ran in the background; but the game itself never actually appeared. Additionally, reinstalling the game several times did not resolve any issue; nor other troubleshooting steps from EA.
Origin was also a pretty crap piece of software (compared to Steam, anyway); but this is a new low from EA, imo. Its a shame too, because I liked what I got to see in Fallen Order, especially recently getting into souls games.
Had the displeasure of using the modern EA app the other week -- completely refuses to launch my copy of Jedi: Fallen Order in the foreground after a single play-session (Steam -> EA just doesn't work for some people).
At work we're using Bitwarden for the group benefits; though I still have KeePassXC running to simplify SSH keys (Windows, naturally) for native & PuTTY.
Personally, I use KeePassXC & KeePass android (currently); and sync'd through GDrive; which is good enough for my needs.
