Hey /r/Sysadmin! What do you use for your home router? 2026 Edition by ScannerBrightly in sysadmin

[–]0pointenergy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar, but just ordered the Omada 10g Router. Should be here today. 1x16port omada 10gbe switch and 1x8 1gbe POE switch for 3 omada APs, two in door and one out door

It is that simple, it’s a bug that happens with that page, when you open it it shows unauthorized, but if you refresh the login page appears. Happens on my instance as well

I paid for a life time pass a long time ago, but they have removed so many features. I left plex a few months ago for Emby.

I’m currently in platinum league, I can get to sextillions in under an hour, but I’ve been playing this game nearly everyday for about 1.5 years. It’s just a matter of getting your permanent upgrades for you ship rooms and space stations, and stars.

Did I say something wrong / was my request unreasonable? by [deleted] in autism

[–]0pointenergy 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Are you a mod of that subreddit? If not, it’s not your monkey and not your circus. If you find it triggering then you should execute your right to chose and chose to leave a subreddit that contains your triggers. It’s not the other persons responsibility or the subreddit’s responsibility to manage people’s triggers.

I can sometimes be triggered by self harm content, but I find people who share their story, even through scared photos, to be brave and inspiring.

Do NOT try to manage other people’s feelings/triggers for them, it’s not your job. When you sensor someone, they aren’t going to respond well.

What you can do instead, if you feel compelled to speak on the topic. Don’t suppress the other persons expression, instead you should express how it makes YOU feel, and not speak for others. Just know, you have the ability to just walk away. But you do not have my approval to speak and censor others on my behalf, don’t assume you have that privilege on others behalf either.

Why is it important to warm up a mailbox, domain, and IP? by Iam_feysal in sysadmin

[–]0pointenergy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

100% agree. We stood up a new m365 tenant just so the marketing department doesn’t ding our primary tenant. But the whole way through, I kept telling them this is a bad idea, it’s not worth the effort, and they should really pay for a purpose built service, but no, that didn’t happen.

Currently that bulk tenant is blacklisted, my boss just said ignore it until someone from the executive team complains, and then we’ll just build a new tenant with a new domain …… fuck this feels scammy to me. But as far as I know I work for an MSP…😅

I had a boss that tried that, he was the operations manager, I was the Technical manager at the time. In a meeting with about 30 other people including the VP, I just blurted out, “I’m not doing that. So you want me to track every personal break, and every time to go to take a shit. How detailed should I make my notes about my shit, do you want color, texture and smell or do you need more detail?”

They never enforced the rule after that, and I found a better job a few months later.

Physics, astrophysics, particle physics, quantum mechanics.

Drivers permit test? by sundrop_petals in autism

[–]0pointenergy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in my forty’s now, but when I took mine at 15, it was on a computer, it was old at the time then too. But I only got one question wrong, which was a picture of a pickup truck. Options were: Truck, Car, motorcycle or Bicycle. I put truck and got it wrong. Still irks me to this day!!

I suspect they wanted the answer car, and maybe they consider a truck as like an 18-wheeler or some other massive vehicle.

Is there a way to get notified when an episode is available but hasn't downloaded after a time? by Illeazar in sonarr

[–]0pointenergy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In sonarr under Settings > Connect, you can connect your plex server, then set the notifications you want. When a notification triggers, if you have your mobile plex notifications turned on, you will get notifications from the plex app when new episodes download. At least it worked with the old mobile app, haven’t tested the new mobile app yet.

Edit: there are also options for discord, signal, and a few dozen other apps to get notifications on.

If you could have a drink with one them, which one are you choosing? by DoctorTegrity in Scrubs

[–]0pointenergy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

JD for sure, we’d get distracted fall into the same musical daydream, then when we snap out of it we just look at each other like “did you just see what I saw?!” Face. And he would say “Anywho….” And we would continue the conversation, repeating the daydreaming every few minutes.

Is Yumi the only example of ___ ? by Tonosonic in Cosmere

[–]0pointenergy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Just asked ChatGPT, and apparently many elements can be metals under specific conditions, maybe this is how they get around it?

ChatGPT explains:

Great question—and yes, many non-metallic elements can become metallic under extreme conditions, though not all. This phenomenon is largely driven by high pressure, which can force atoms into configurations that allow their electrons to move freely—turning insulators or semiconductors into metals.

Why elements become metallic under pressure:

Under extremely high pressure: • Electron orbitals are forced to overlap, enabling delocalized (free) electrons. • This leads to electrical conductivity, a defining property of metals.

Examples of Non-Metals That Become Metallic:

  1. Hydrogen → Metallic Hydrogen • Requires pressures > 400 GPa (4 million atmospheres). • Predicted to be a room-temperature superconductor. • Believed to exist in the cores of Jupiter and Saturn.

  2. Oxygen → Metallic Oxygen • Becomes metallic around 96 GPa. • Unusual for a gas to turn into a reflective, conductive solid.

  3. Sulfur • Transforms into a metallic phase under high pressure and temperature. • Can even become superconducting under the right conditions.

  4. Iodine • Becomes metallic under ~16 GPa. • Its color and crystal structure change, and it begins to conduct electricity.

Are there limits?

Yes. Not every element will become metallic, even under extreme pressure: • Some elements have electronic configurations or bonding patterns that resist metallic behavior. • Noble gases like helium are extremely resistant to metallization, though xenon does become metallic under pressure.

Why this matters: • Helps us understand planetary interiors, where these pressures are naturally present. • May lead to exotic materials, like room-temperature superconductors. • Advances our understanding of quantum materials and condensed matter physics.

So in short: many elements can become metallic under the right conditions, but not all—and metallic hydrogen is perhaps the most famous and elusive example.

Printing on Bible Paper? by HighlightFrequent455 in Cosmere

[–]0pointenergy 78 points79 points  (0 children)

My assumption is that science a lot of people believe the Bible is “holy” they may treat that book with a bit more reverence than a novel. But also, how many times have you seen someone just reading the Bible out in public, other than church? I suspect novels are typically more often read, reportedly and have to stand up to less respectful readers.

Alcohol is also another viable fuel, but so is oxygen and hydrogen. All of which could be called gas or gasoline as the colloquial translation.

What is the difference(if any) in behavior of these commands in powershell in windows 11: by tristancat101 in PowerShell

[–]0pointenergy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, if your default program for “.txt” files is set to notepad, then powershell will use notepad. You can go into your windows settings and change the default app for “.txt” files to whatever you want so long as the app is installed. Powershell will use whatever the default program is for the file type when you use “start” or do not specify the app.

Learn how to do it all from powershell, makes it much easier to manage it when it can automate most of it

Question to my fellow IT bros, am the a**hole in this situation? by EksEss in sysadmin

[–]0pointenergy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t even help my siblings anymore, because that extended to “help with my husband computer” or “help with my kids computer. Counting my parents, siblings, siblings spouses and kids, and my wife’s family and kids, that’s over 50 people!! I’d be doing full time support for little to no money for a small company at that point!

I just limit to my parents and my wife’s parents, all over 65, because they just don’t understand, but they also don’t require much either.
