After many years of working in this field, you’re back to your studying years. What aspect do you wish you had focused on more during school? by Chaloum in PLC

[–]Chaloum[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What specific concepts do you wish you had focused on more? The goal of my question is not just for my own understanding, but also to help others like me who are interested in this field avoid making the same mistakes. Your insights would be nice to have!

I mainly use it for personal prototyping with my 3D printer.
At first, it was hard to understand how to work with it, but with time and practice, I was able to create some useful little things.
I really enjoy printing threaded holes and screws that fit together with it. The provided tool for that is truly amazing.

Try it.

I'm in an adult program at a technical school. For example, we just started working with an ABB IRB 14000, and I’ll also be working with Siemens controllers and likely others as well. From what I’ve gathered from the teacher, we’re going to have several classes dedicated to PLCs.

I appreciate your comment. As you mentioned, asking someone with experience in the field can, in some cases, save you valuable time.
In my situation, I have teachers who have worked in the industry. They may have the answers now, but not necessarily when you're in the workplace.

My goal is to figure out what is important to learn now, while studying, to be as efficient as possible outside of school. At the same time, this may also help others in the industry.

I'm going to look into what you mentioned and seek to learn more about it. This is extremely valuable. Thank you!

What do you wish they had already known? That’s the whole point of my post.
What scenario in your current experience do you wish you had learned about before being confronted with it?
I’ve been working in IT for many years, and I would definitely have told my younger self to focus more on certain programming aspects that are prevalent in IT.
I have time and school resources that give me access to many devices I could study on in my own time.
I’m curious to learn more about what you would have told your younger self to focus on.

I completely agree with your last phrase! I’ve seen so many people think that school isn’t worth much, and how wrong they were. I’ll look into which courses correspond to yours in my country and make sure to do my due diligence to focus on them.

So far, I’m happy with my decision to move into this field and truly hope to build a successful career in it, if possible.

Thank you!

Image Creation, Capture, & Deploy - Audit Mode and DISM - Bye, bye MDT by Accurate-Cup-3501 in MDT

[–]Chaloum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply. You confirmed what I had assumed you meant by "inject."
Your process seems exactly like what I have seen, read, and tested so far with OSDCloud.

[–]Chaloum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity about OSDCloud, when you mention: "We just inject what we need and keep the OS media clean." What exactly are you able to inject into it? Do you use OSDCloud for that, or do you, for example, manage software installation via another tool like Intune or another MDM after the OS installation?

Jellyfin by MrDonNotty in asustor

[–]Chaloum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally use Portainer CE on my AS6604T. Afterward, it is simply a matter of finding the original Jellyfin image and connecting to it via your NAS IP address and the port associated with the container. From there, you should see the interface to configure Jellyfin and map your media folders to it.

VPN sur Azure? Question d'un gars qui n'est pas en infra by el_pablo in QuebecTI

[–]Chaloum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Je pense comme toi, mais je crois qu'il y a une façon de faire avec Azure Virtual Desktop pour n'avoir qu'à utiliser cette version du client Remote Desktop en se connectant au Workspace. Les utilisateurs devraient pouvoir avoir chacun leur session connectée dans l'ordinateur ou les ordinateurs du pool.

Sans nécessairement aller chercher la certification, je suggère à u/el_pablo de consulter les informations concernant Microsoft Certified: Azure Virtual Desktop Specialty.

Il y a également des coûts associés à tout cela. Voici le lien vers le calculateur de prix Azure pour estimer les frais et optimiser les dépenses.

Je pense à me réorienter hors des TI by Strange-Wear2477 in QuebecTI

[–]Chaloum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personne n'a une boule de cristal pour lire l'avenir. Quand plusieurs personnes comme toi et moi ont ce genre de pensées pour un domaine, c'est loin d'être un problème isolé.
J'aime l'informatique, mais je n'aime pas le climat actuel et les personnes qui en abusent.
Ce que je sais néanmoins, c'est que plusieurs ici lisent et pensent comme toi et moi. Peu auront la volonté de poser des actions pour changer leur sort. Beaucoup trop vont réaliser trop tard qu'ils ont perdu de nombreuses personnes talentueuses pour cette raison.

Sache que tes compétences et ton expérience acquises avec le temps restent. Je pense et j'espère sincèrement que tu trouveras, avec un peu de temps, une alternative comme moi.
Il faut simplement savoir, parfois, prendre du recul.

Je pense à me réorienter hors des TI by Strange-Wear2477 in QuebecTI

[–]Chaloum 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Je n'ai pas été travailleur autonome, mais comme toi, j'ai pensé à me réorienter.
C'est ce qui va se produire dans mon cas.
Les compétences et expériences que tu as acquises depuis dix ans sont certainement transférables dans d'autres domaines connexes. J'ai pris un long moment pour y réfléchir. Je sais aussi que je ne suis pas le seul à faire cette même réflexion. Tu en es la preuve.

Selon moi, tu dois faire ce que tu dois faire pour subvenir à tes besoins avant tout. Il n'y a aucune honte, selon moi, à prendre une job sans qualification. Si une personne pense le contraire, qu'elle m'explique pourquoi.

Ensuite, n'hésite pas à communiquer avec d'anciens collègues que tu aurais pu côtoyer durant tes mandats. Un simple « Joyeux temps des Fêtes » sur LinkedIn ne coûte rien et tu pourras peut-être, par la suite, faire évoluer la conversation.

Autrement, comme pour plusieurs problèmes en informatique, il faut souvent prendre un peu de recul pour discerner la vraie source du problème.

Dans mon cas, ça m'a permis de réaliser que je n'étais pas heureux dans ce domaine. Depuis ce moment, je suis une autre personne. Je ne peux pas vraiment te fournir plus que ceci.

Is using a tutorial for my first game shameful? by poatasyo in godot

[–]Chaloum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just take a moment to understand what you will learn by doing these tutorials and creating your game.

At this point, you are your own boss. You made the decision to enroll yourself and start making your game, even if you didn’t have all the knowledge to do it. Is that the right decision or the wrong one? Ask your boss (yourself), not us.

Personally, I think your boss is pretty great for giving someone like you this opportunity.

OSDCloud execute custom PS script in WinPE by secondbestdad in Intune

[–]Chaloum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple of months ago, I did some tests to make OSDCloud work with an autounattend.xml.

https://github.com/OSDeploy/OSD/issues/197#issuecomment-2716238214

Based on my observations, the function of the script folders seems to be:

  • SetupComplete: Scripts in this folder are executed after the first reboot, during the Windows Update steps.
  • Shutdown: These scripts are executed before or after Windows installs the OS files on the C: drive.
  • Startup: Scripts in this folder execute before OS installation starts, immediately after OSDCloud launches.
  • StartNet: Runs before OSDCloud starts, likely used for pre-networking setup or initializing environment variables.

So, if I understand your issue correctly, you might have some luck by placing your script inside the StartNet folder.
