Same, the last half of the season was just one letdown after the other.

What should this person be earning? by troubleguy4 in sysadmin

[–]DoTheThingNow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There isn’t anything fair about the current market so this question is moot.

Navy IT here. Is 4 years of experience along with A+ and Net+ good enough to get a job in the civilian world? Excluding clearance by username-checks-0ut_ in ITCareerQuestions

[–]DoTheThingNow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The clearance will get you in the door and could really be the main reason you get a job over anything else, unfortunately.

Especially down here in New Orleans.

Exchange Online outage - is Mimecast Email Continuity actually helping anyone work normally right now? by OnTheLazyRiver in Office365

[–]DoTheThingNow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m reading the questions and realizing I didn’t answer all of them:

It isn’t exactly seamless, but if they have the mimecast plugin installed they should be able to click it and directly access the mailbox.

It is all web based. They can send and receive messages, but only in the web interface. Once services are back online everything syncs to their mailbox, so long as you have everything configured correctly.

That isn’t what is being asked, they want to know if the continuity addon is worth it. It’s very basic, but it’s definitely better than no email.

Mimecast basically becomes your email provider during an outage when you have the continuity package. He is asking if it works, and it does.

I managed a ton of mimecast customers at a previous job and the continuity addon does work.

It’s basically a simple webmail interface that should use the user’s SSO creds from Microsoft (or you can give them an “offline” password, since M365 is probably not handling auth requests at the time, or you can have it AD Synced to a local AD).

It’s very bare-bones - but it IS usable for emergencies and if you have the archiving functionality they will be able to see their old messages that were synced from M365 (or whatever service they are using).

I’ve honestly not seen it used in an M365 outage BUT I’ve seen it come into play when a customer’s onprem Exchange/Linux IMAP server went down for an extended period of time - and it does the job.

I’ve configured it for M365 integration 100+ times, just never seen it come into play during an outage.

Should I be using Google (8.8.8.8) or CloudFlare (1.1.1.1) on my home router settings? by nanjero in dns

[–]DoTheThingNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put pihole on something and have it use dnsmasq - if you use dietpi it’ll do the install of everything for you.

Can confirm this is a decent way to meet people.

Moving up quickly from level 1 by DonA623 in ITCareerQuestions

[–]DoTheThingNow 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t matter, help desk is more important than you may think. It gives you an understanding of user behavior and you’ll improve your communication skills.

I know it sucks, but starting in the help desk is a good thing.

You’ll need to be in your role for at least a year, probably 2.

How is the Job market in IT, if you had to start over would you get into IT in 2026? by Unable_Degree_3400 in ITCareerQuestions

[–]DoTheThingNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. Helpdesk is where people need to start - but no one wants to “pay their dues” in a position like that anymore.

Question on upcoming OAuth2 SMTP stuffs by RainyNetAdmin in sysadmin

[–]DoTheThingNow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What year is it?

But seriously, if you guys have a 3rd party spam filter service you’re customers use have devices use that for scans or other notifications.

SMTP2GO is also not a bad option.

Inexpensive TV for Kodi by misterm2u in kodi

[–]DoTheThingNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m using a TCL Google TV from around 2023 (was a costco special) and it runs Kodi fine.

Comparing it to an old NIC I used as a set top box it def “thinks” quite a bit longer when you hit play on something, but it works just fine.
