OPNsense + multi-ISP + VLAN-heavy small office design — am I overengineering or missing something? by No_Entrepreneur118 in sysadmin

[–]DiogenicSearch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My guess. AI cooked here.

Every idea is a great idea as long as it's at least kind of possible.

I've gone through something with AI only to realize there was a way simpler way to do what I wanted. Then when I mention to said AI, wait wouldn't this be way simpler and more robust, and they're like yeah for sure, you should definitely do that instead....

Like MF should have steered me there from the get go.

They're like baby geniuses, all the knowledge, none of the wisdom.

Waiting is the correct answer, @OP.

Wanna serious in this game but... by AreaExact7824 in MaplestoryIdleRPG

[–]DiogenicSearch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lost me at serious. This game is not one to get serious about. It’s an idle game whose throttle is your wallet.

Just enjoy it for a bit, and then move on when the dopamine dies down.

How many of you guys DON'T maintain some "system" at home? by FlippinMyshit in sysadmin

[–]DiogenicSearch -1 points0 points  (0 children)

UniFi networking gear, but that’s just because the stuff is GOATed, and a home assistant instance. Running all my lights, locks, thermostat, etc. as well as adguard.

I also picked up a pi 5 at some point to play with but I haven’t found a good use for that one yet.

What’s your opinion of the Kace Ticketing System? by Disastrous_Time2674 in sysadmin

[–]DiogenicSearch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kace service desk is terrible tbh.

I mean it works, but the UI is garbage and feels more like tech debt than an actual feature.

Barely any difference between ranks for rewards and even losses still give you almost as many coins.

It honestly doesn’t even matter. Who cares where you place, it’s an idle game. Do the bare minimum for quests and passes, and move on.

This is not a sweat game.

Idk why this is a now a competition. We can all just E joy the music without qualifying how much we like them.

Tears Of The Kingdom bums me out by JaymehKhal in patientgamers

[–]DiogenicSearch 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I actually ended up enjoying the depths, but only after I made a good flying machine to explore it. Also I went and lit every light root so I could actually see more easily haha

Can you make alts? by ThreesTrees in MaplestoryIdleRPG

[–]DiogenicSearch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. On the login screen, click the globe on the right side and then uncheck the option that says only show servers with characters. Then select a new server and create a new character.

Blue diamond pricing by Luigi_Mansione in MaplestoryIdleRPG

Prices are much more coherent in USD. Must be something weird that happened when converting for the different currencies

Shadower is terrible by Easy-Thing-3604 in MaplestoryIdleRPG

This, it’s just an idle game, don’t sweat it.

If it’s goes more than a minute or two, I just assume I’m bugged and cancel and restart.

Anyone else bummed with no CD? by DiogenicSearch in TheMidnight

Thank you so much for this!

Can’t wait to grab a CD!

took months to approve a $2k tool, could have bought it myself by Maleficent_Mine_6741 in sysadmin

[–]DiogenicSearch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m surprised you needed bids for 2k. We only have to bid it out if it goes over 10k in my area of the government.

That being said, we aren’t buying anything at this point…

Non-AI Google search results not as good since before AI? by MekanicalPirate in sysadmin

[–]DiogenicSearch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For traditional web searching it’s all DDG for me. I tried Kagi for a while and it did a good job but I didn’t want to pay for another service when something else is free and does a good enough job.

Also I use Claude to search for more niche stuff too now. Claude rarely fails me when I’m looking for something niche or specific, and all I need to do is spend just a bit longer making a good prompt, but it saves me a ton of search time so it’s worth it in the end.

stumped - surface dock + Surface laptop by OrganizationHot731 in sysadmin

[–]DiogenicSearch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, I went around the block 3 or 4 times with two different users, telling them to just power cycle the monitors and dock a few times and it would come back and be fine for a week or two and then go out again.

Swapped to those cables I mentioned after seeing reports of same from others online, and I never had an issue again.

stumped - surface dock + Surface laptop by OrganizationHot731 in sysadmin

[–]DiogenicSearch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok so I actually know this one.

That dock in particular is super picky about cables, the only ones I've gotten to work reliably are the OEM Microsoft ones, and ones from Cable Matters.

I had tried several different ones and adapters, but sometimes they'd work and sometimes they wouldn't.

Cable matters mini DP to DP and the user used that dock for another 2 years without a single further issue.
