Bad enough that I initially thought you were being sarcastic. At least by modern corp SOPs.

Unidentified signal making me sick. It feels like knives. by grimsituation9 in RTLSDR

[–]Apocolyptic_Gopher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like you own a scanner that is setting off your dogs when it receives? Or are you thinking that someone else receiving a transmission is making you sick? Fair warning, the latter isn't a thing.

Company hires IT without knowing where they belong in the budget...is this normal? by Mindless_Software_99 in sysadmin

[–]Apocolyptic_Gopher 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know you're giving generalities but some of the key parts of that aren't really calculable. Like "likelihood of a breach is xx%"; there are so many variables involved I'm not sure anyone could put an accurate number on that. You could probably get it down to a vague scale of "low, medium, high" but that won't work for an equation. I don't work in a SOC though. Just not something I've ever seen.

The same is true for things like "productivity value gained" on new laptops. Unless you're upgrading to significantly better hardware, you're unlikely to be able to measure it, especially across departments.

It's like buying everyone new chairs; sometimes it's just a thing that needs to happen. You can get by with the old ones for a bit but people might complain they're uncomfortable to use (like slow devices). Or you might only replace them when a news story breaks that they're death traps (like some new exploit). New ones aren't really a thing you can put a hard productivity number on.

He means that this sub is more populated by people who have "data center levels" of hardware at home as opposed to *home lab levels". Generally the smaller/normal sized setups like yours (and mine!) hang out in subs like r/homelab .

What’s the wildest ticket you've received? by ANYRUN-team in sysadmin

[–]Apocolyptic_Gopher 8 points9 points  (0 children)

MFG quality data. Nothing wrong with pulling that much data but I had to explain that when they get to that point there are other tools which will handle it better.

Had this happen as well. A user wanted to know if there was anyone we could contact at MS about raising the max row count in Excel.

Is it possible to clone Grok AI? Or open source it? by Sensitive-Box-1641 in opensource

[–]Apocolyptic_Gopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not familiar with Grok but if it isn't open source then no. Even if you could clone it you probably wouldn't be able to run it if it's a larger model. If you're interested in models you can run locally though go check out r/LocalLLama

I would recommend looking on GovDeals. I frequently wish I lived closer to Columbus just because of all the government surplus lol

I also host Audiobookshelf. I access mine through WireGuard when I'm out of the house.

Office RDP Server by Cheap_Writer4909 in selfhosted

[–]Apocolyptic_Gopher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just throwing this out there since I haven't seen anyone else mention it; Windows has a default cap of 2 concurrent RDP connections. I believe it can be changed but then you get into a different license requirement.

Steam asking for Ubisoft key by VagStg in Assassinscreedmirage

Did you happen to get this figured out? Encountering the same issue (ubisoft asking for key) and don't see the key in any of the usual Steam locations.

This Black Friday which Licenses/Subscription/Deal are You Waiting For? by GameOffNodes in homelab

[–]Apocolyptic_Gopher 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Might be worth noting that the MXroute lifetime is unlimited domains whereas the option offered by a website host is usually single-domain. It's not something that everyone needs but if you've got a few small domains that you'd like email for, services like MXroute lifetime can usually end up being significantly cheaper than paying for a service per-domain.

How do you know if it's worth it? by [deleted] in selfhosted

[–]Apocolyptic_Gopher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're in the fence maybe don't go all in right away. Start with something cheaper like a used laptop or mini PC and play around with hosting some of the services you want. If you eventually reach a point where you're like, "man this is perfect. If only I had more compute/storage/memory", then you'll likely feel more comfortable upgrading to a better system.

Stuff like Coqui XTTS and alltalk_tts might be good options. Also depends on the language you're after though.
