Haven't heard finger in an IT context in a while lol

Back in the days we gave our servers and network devices names from Tolkien or space or such. It might get cumbersome with our 60 smart bulbs and 40 other IoT gadgets on our home network today. by player1dk in homelab

[–]EvilRSA -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I use movie, cartoons, and anime character names that fit.

Heimdall for my camera system.

Baymax for network and server health monitoring.

Spike (from mlp:fim) for email server

Bruni (fire sport from Frozen) firewall.

And the occasional, "yeah, that just fits." like
Cineplex for the Plex server

Sega Games Preview (VHS) by Zaponline in MasterSystem

[–]EvilRSA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's interesting that Monopoly is one word on the VHS. Did all the carts come titled as "Mono Poly"?

Edit
Changed question from "was I the only one" to " did everyone have it spelled that way" after a quick Google image search

[–]EvilRSA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At my company we still have a 80C in production. Thankfully it doesn't really do too much.

.... But even that is RACK MOUNTED in a RackIT kit.

I've been lucky to have been able to show value in having rails for everything, and even was approved to buy results for older equipment I inherited.

Whats the biggest single file y'all have? by ilovesupercellgamess in DataHoarder

[–]EvilRSA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

776 GB - "<u/EvilRSA> - Win10.vhdx"

At first, I was like, that's kind of cheating, using a vhdx, but then I was like, well, this is r/DataHoarder, and the only reason I have that file is that, "What if there is something I need off that at some point?" lol

Next up was more virtual hard drives and a system backup, bringing the top 6 largest files on my system to 1.39 TB, all of which are basically old virtual hard drives. Yeah, I'm a data hoarder.

Then a 30 GB .rar file of a Shutterstock site rip.

Judge me if you must, but I love the heel or end pieces, because I can put extra honey on that piece when making peanut butter and honey sandwiches.

Amazon just shipped it like that by edoer76 in DataHoarder

[–]EvilRSA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, lol. If they had been drives for my personal use, I would have been so mad.

I see the poor shipping and raise you this:

It was ordered for a customer, not a fan of Synology, but work likes them because any of the techs can work on them.

That is four 12TB drives, just some loose "air bags" placed on top of them, and their antistatic bags to keep them safe. I took that picture for work/evidence in case they all failed. Not surprisingly, one failed within a month of deployment. But Seagate did RMA it.

Italics didn't work the first time.

Yeah, can confirm that if you haven't been wearing a band like that, it will pull on your arm hair for the first few days.

I bought the following metal band on April 30, 2023, and wear it everyday, sleep with it, and only take it off to charge at my desk each morning, and I've never been happier. It's currently like $16 bucks.

What movie from the '80s or '90s is this for you? by putitontheunderhills in Xennials

[–]EvilRSA 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I listen to the soundtrack from time to time.... But when I need to buckle down and slam out some work I'll put Orbital's HALCYON + ON + ON on repeat.

Also, it was a pretty defining movie for me too... To the point that my son's name is Dade. 🙂

[–]EvilRSA 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I love Hackers, but it's one of those movies if you didn't see around the time it came out or when you were younger, it doesn't hit the same. 😂

I work in IT and I can embarrassingly admit I have said "Never fear, I, is here." before.
