I'm a little annoyed at Hubspot at the moment and looking at migrating out.

We're a small sales team of two and the more we use the product, the more we need features in their next tier of subscription level, only issue is they only do a 5 user minium at the next tier and I cannot justify paying for three unused user licences.

I went through this in my job where the (very) old school boss kept everything as business cards and the CRM consisted of outlook contacts with zero context on who they were and what they did.

HubSpot free has done a decent job of bringing this into the 21st century, in a sort of workable manner.

But equally interested in something self-hosted. (And have played with a couple SH ERP systems such as Odoo, but haven’t been sold on the UI)

Are there any write ups on how you simultaneously terminate this many employees from a logistical point of view?

Ie: does HR numbers need to be bolstered to handle it? How do you choose the 1200+ individuals?

5G offers me around 500Mbps on my mobile and my home broadband peaks around 50Mbps (subpar Australian NBN).

The 5G mobile gets used quite often as a hotspot when I need to download large files quickly.

Japan was an immediate thought when I saw this..

From past experience, Google maps can get you to the general vicinity pretty well, it's usually the last 80 meters of multi-storey electric mazes that confuse the hell out of you.

This was brilliant, and being in the trending youtube list, a majority of viewers will never have found that.

I did start an IT degree in the old job until they cut the study funding, but have always been a bit of a tinkerer/maker.

But now I'm selling comms and tactical tech back into the LE community. So I get to still play with all the toys, without the responsibility.

It will document my 10 year journey as a Police Officer in Australia and transition back into the real world. (plus it gives me a document of my time before is dispaears into eternity)

The other half will be interviews/profiles of other former officers that have moved on / medically retired with pstd and how leaving the force has effected them.

It may not be the most admired occupation by some, but the after effects can often lead to suicide, so I am to hopefully make it a place that may offer some others some hope.

Feel free to sign up, hopefully should have posts coming this week.

Coming from a background in Law Enforcement (Australia) and dealing daily with Domestic Violence, this is a great idea.

Does need a polish (few bugs - can't delete switches / change reporting time?) and yes, potentially a 'cover story change' (build a simple period tracker for the female audience?)

I know there are a few private and government organisations over here trying to battle this problem, with the use of technology.

This would be a good addition to the options available.

This redundancy and skill set is paramount.

In a past life as a Police officer in a very remote and isolated town, we had a fibre cable severed which took out all telecommunications (fixed/internet/wireless - the works).

Besides myself, not a single office knew how to work the HF radio, which was our only lifeline to the outside world thanks to a broken sat phone.

Moral of the story is don't get complacent and forget how to use old tech, when the unexpected wipes out modern methods.
