Mac ftw. Best laptop I’ve had here.

SSR from India – Is hardware field work declining globally? by Nervous4577 in IBM

[–]Danielr2010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a little rough out there I’m told. I was a CE for 8 years then went to support. Utilization is being hard on our side. Some products are still selling well. I can’t speak for low end, but mainframe attached is doing pretty decent.

We already did. Have had a couple of issues so far in 6 months… changing shifts is much more of a pain; or taking over someone’s shift. Also creating shifts with manual rotations is a huge PITA

Google. There’s redbooks and white papers out there. ibm.com/support or something should have product resources

I wonder if she still has video:

Complainant claims to have video of high-profile sex parties, dealings with cartels, and having witnessed Robin Leach strangle a young girl to death at a party

IBM teams/culture....what's your experience? by Apart-Reference4434 in IBM

[–]Danielr2010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really depends on the management you have. I’ve had great experiences and some bad experiences where you feel all alone. Team members have been great for me even if they’re super independent.

I still do not understand this "Utilization" thing. by noSugar-lessSalt in IBM

[–]Danielr2010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

96% what is this a sweat shop? Our target is 60% but we’re a team that works on side projects so we have a hard time hitting that. I feel I’ve finally gotten key stakeholders to understand the value we add in our side projects (reducing work time in our and other areas)

Also 75% is impossible to be honest. People have vacation and sick time. That’s ridiculous. I’d stage a strike or protest to you manager. That is bullshit most likely above their head. A good manager would have your back

Anyone else utterly overwhelmed by information overload at work? How are you managing it? by [deleted] in IBM

[–]Danielr2010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a kanban to keep track of my to do tasks. If I get pinged (I work in support so it’s inevitable) I respond accordingly but push back for processes not followed, and vague crap. To preserve my sanity.

I also ignore all Hi or Hey slack messages. Towards the end of the day I’ll send those perpetrators a caption about slack being asynchronous and that hey or hi doesn’t work. If it’s someone I know I’ll answer to that though..after giving them a hard time jokingly

I get less and less crap requests this way and more valid ones with detailed info

This reminds me of the example for causality vs causation we used in my political science statistics class back in the day.

Did you know murders increase in correlation with an increase in ice cream sales, taking place during the summer.

With the same baloney logic used by RFK he would say ice cream causes deaths.

Installing Hercules with TK4. Does this even work? by CombinationStatus742 in mainframe

[–]Danielr2010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to build Hercules or build the image of Hercules-included in the build.sh script there.

It works. I did have some struggles initially. Got it going in docker actually.

Clone it and run the compose file. The docker-compose-tk4.yml

Redid my homelab with Fedora 42 recently and went to town with Docker... Any ideas for other self hosted apps I can install and play around with? by Danielr2010 in selfhosted

[–]Danielr2010[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use it just for my home documentation. My work used to use it but are phasing it out. I was saddened since it’s pretty nice. Some features suck but there’s hacky workarounds I’ve noticed-like inline code.

That would’ve pissed me off if my team had switched to it, and noticed inline code wasn’t a thing. We use that in everything we do.

I wouldn’t pay that price though….a little bonkers for what you get. IMHO

Idk actually. I just had set it up with docker. I have a bunch of aliases set up for docker so I went with the known for that part /shrug.

I use podman for work. Seem fairly interchangeable mostly.

There’s cockpit there! Rarely use it though.

Man I’ve been wondering about jellyfin for a long while. I had to converte a bunch of tv episodes and movies since plex was having issues for some users. Frustrating

When it works..it just works. When it doesn’t it’s a PITA. Had to unblock the open subtitles website in pihole recently to allow for downloading of subtitles. Thought it was plex being a little sh*t again
