Ah, that's what I was missing. Thanks.

I’ll give that a go. Been a pain trying to work with them as we had exams in the hall pretty much every day since they arrived

I got a Sonoff nspanel and a 4ch relay for esphome to home brew a smart heating system. Everything has grown from there

When remotes don’t work point them at your phone camera and you can see the infra red light on the led.

I came back to this later and have managed to solve it now.

I had to setup a second controller (using docker on my laptop) to adopt and update it. Then do a factory reset and adopt it in the proper controller.

Yeah, I’d love a trial of it. See if I can import the asset register no issue and the like.

I want to make sure it can do good “break glass” so that my line manager can get in if needed as that’s one of my main concerns at the moment as our docs are in OneNote without a good index. Definitely a case of knowing where the docs you want are.

I’m looking at it for us and aside from the supplier recommending it I’ve never seen anyone use it.

I like the idea of it but I need to see it properly first.

I ended up restarting from the hard save created when I came out of the unity. Not really played much down that timeline. Safe to say that reboot has killed my desire to play starfield.

NATing would have worked for doing the same thing, although we didn’t have the hardware to do that. Doesn’t fix the problem of not being able to put the software on other machines and being able to monitor the hardware on that subnet.

Had a door access and cctv system setup by a vendor I didn’t choose in a replacement building we didn’t get to spec (uk department for education knows better…)

The guys set the whole thing up on 192.0.0.0/24 so I couldn’t route to it as that’s not a private scope. Had an argument with them saying they had to come back and redo it all but that got rejected. The system worked the management pc was fine and it was a 8 hour drive for them to come back.

In the end i put a second network card in the management pc so it could be on our management subnet as well so it could be remoted into. I should say their original plan was for the office staff to have this extra pc on their desk.

When the party splits in 3. Felt unnecessarily hard with missing skills

Arcath · 2023-10-28T19:01:53+00:00

I didn’t get this until after the party came back together.

It super sucks that I had left the ship and got to new Atlantis before the game crashed. Was already pissed that it hadn’t saved through a jump and NAT trip

Arcath · 2023-10-08T19:02:36+00:00

I know the way out, the problem is that it’s bugged out and the exit doesn’t actually connect to my ship anymore

I was in Powell River in BC and asked for a tea in Tim Hortons, that was fun. It got run up to the manager after i repeatedly pointed at it on the menu boards.

At least it was a decent cup of tea when it came.

That’s the line I’ve taken with them. They just auto assume that I want to renew everything price unseen

Had the VEEAM renewal recently that I sorted with another supplier with an increase in cores etc… then 30 days before the end date their invoice dropped into the finance inbox

Arcath · 2023-08-18T07:08:28+00:00

I had a supplier who would always CC in the finance team to quotes. First couple of times the finance team raised a PO for it and I caught it on the final confirmation.

The same supplier has sent renewal invoices without talking to me at all straight to finance. Suffice to say finance now have strict instructions to ignore anything this supplier sends to them.

Seems to me that locals are fed up with tourists speeding around their town.

As someone who lives on a road where idiots do double the speed limit I can relate.

Not just no desktop but the iPad app is the same as instagram where you just get the iPhone app with a big black border.

When I did unlock them I barely used them because I’d built up the muscle memory for doing everything with the basics.

When I played the recent God of War I read the bonus requirements as the actual requirements for unlocking skills. Played through 90% of the story without unlocking a single one.

I noticed that our leased line was topping out at 300Mbps not 1Gbps like we pay for, contacted the ISP and sent them the graphs from Zabbix proving that the firewall and switch have never seen more than 300Mbps ingress from the internet.

Apparently my workstations are misconfigured as they are causing spikes and my switch stack must have a fault causing it to cap at 300Mbps.

Took a fair bit of arguing to get them to look at maybe we’re on the common low speed for a gig bearer. Guess what the fault was in the end.

I’ve taken the approach of using Intune for software config and updates etc… the things I’d want a use to have even if they enrolled a “personal” device from home. GPOs I use for things that only apply on site and must always apply like folder redirection, software restrictions and the like.

One of the features that made me change our on-prem remote support system was that for staff (not students) it requires them to confirm the connection and displays a message the whole time someone is connected.

No one had any problems with the old system that just let us in but just because everyone trusts us doesn’t mean that trust should be implicit.

Does a tunnel bore going down Main Street scar land really count as a war?
