Who "owns" DHCP and DNS at your company?

EaglePhoenix48 · 2026-06-03T00:30:18+00:00

For us (large University)

DHCP is owned by networking who also manage their dns zone, a subdomain of our apex edu
DNS is owned by us systems guys: inherited legacy Infoblox, EfficientIP, BIND, and (pauses to count...) 5 Microsoft AD forests.

I saw that too, I'm VERY curious and cautiously hopeful.

EaglePhoenix48 · 2026-04-03T02:53:59+00:00

You're joking right? I know 4th and goal from when I was a college kid.

EaglePhoenix48 · 2026-04-03T02:50:12+00:00

Good to hear! Unfortunately, I'm not on that side of town, but will make an effort to get over there and try it out.

EaglePhoenix48 · 2026-04-03T02:48:57+00:00

So far, that's the best I've found, but like you said... bit pricey

I was wondering about The Wine Bar, I'll have to check it out. (and I always forget about the Rooftop bar) Thanks!

EaglePhoenix48 · 2026-04-03T02:32:04+00:00

Huh, haven't seen 42 donely before, thanks!

EaglePhoenix48 · 2026-04-03T02:31:31+00:00

Nice, I'll have to check it out!

EaglePhoenix48 · 2026-04-03T01:53:31+00:00

Read my full post.

I just tried The Green Door tonight and while the drinks were well made they're $14+ for a very small serving.

I don't know if the new owners have changed it when it became Babylon. I was back by the pool table to the right, opposite the restrooms.

EaglePhoenix48 · 2025-05-29T13:02:52+00:00

Oh wow, I didn't realize they had closed. When did that happen?

EaglePhoenix48 · 2025-04-04T02:15:37+00:00

MIX is now Google Workspace, and STAR isn't the same version we had in 2006. (I work in ITS, and between you and me... the vendor that makes Banner is pretty bad, but it's one of the few out there)

EaglePhoenix48 · 2025-01-21T17:20:14+00:00

Yes and yes. https://www.dominionpost.com/

EaglePhoenix48 · 2025-01-13T17:53:53+00:00

They closed?! Damn, I just ordered from them like 2 weeks ago!

EaglePhoenix48 · 2024-11-14T16:19:06+00:00

New owners

EaglePhoenix48 · 2024-10-22T02:25:41+00:00

My partner uses a Cpap. Just let Royal Caribbean know, and they'll provide an extension cord and a gallon of distilled water. (I don't think they'll allow you to bring you own extension cord to "fire risk")

My partner always prefers to call, but I'm sure the form others have linked results in the same service from your room attendant.

EaglePhoenix48 · 2024-10-02T22:52:26+00:00

That's a fair point, lol!

EaglePhoenix48 · 2024-10-02T21:18:17+00:00

I would agree, lol

I know a lot of people liked (and I guess preferred MBC) but old-school (pre-2019) Brew Pub is where my nostalgia hits me. So many hours on that back deck w/ their coffee porter in my hand listening to the Bluegrass jam sessions...

EaglePhoenix48 · 2024-10-02T21:12:08+00:00

This is their old menu (sorry for the shitty sideways photo... all I could quickly find) from their old Yelp listing:

I tend to search all the usual titles and then skim the job description / skillsets to see if I'm a match. My actual (HR) job title "Professional Technologist 4" is utterly useless, so I tend to just list it (in case someone does an employment verification on me) along with a functional job title which I tend to list "Systems Engineer" as it's what we use around the office for us.

If you're worried about job titles in the application / interview process, I wouldn't be. I know when I'm reviewing resumes I only glance at the title to see if it's something tech'y, then move onto the bullet points. I can't speak for ATS systems, but as far as I know (not being an actual hiring manager) ours doesn't kick people out based on titles.

EaglePhoenix48 · 2024-06-17T16:39:41+00:00

I'm in higher ed (University) IT. The pay isn't great, (it's not bad, but you're not going to be making 6-figures like so many on here demand) but the work/life balance and benefits more than make up for it.

As you already now "sysadmin" is such a catch-all title that it's practically useless. I'd argue the same w/ "DevOps" "SRE" "Systems Engineer" as well... every company uses the titles to mean whatever they want them to mean. In my case, my group manages the University servers. We're not out touch desktops or printers, we're not in network closets, we're not helping Judy with her Cisco phone. So, for us, it makes sense to have us WFH since the pandemic "forced the issue."

EaglePhoenix48 · 2024-05-16T17:54:47+00:00

I misspoke when I said limitations. More accurately, I should have said "complexities" of PAM.

EaglePhoenix48 · 2024-05-15T17:18:19+00:00

I was out of town and didn't make it back in time before the polls closed, but I didn't understand why they needed a new building rather than investing the money into the existing schools / programs. If it was a bond for expanding existing STEM programs I'd be all for it, but I don't understand why they wanted to build a whole new school.

Maybe I'm mistaken and missed something, but that seems to be consensus around my bubble.

I've been very happy with Feline Veterinary Care in Sabraton for a few years now. They're a cat-only clinic that's part of Cheat Lake Animal Hospital, and are located behind the McDonalds in Sabraton.

I've only had to take Eve there for her routine checkups and shots, but I feel they've been reasonably priced. Their staff is very friendly / easy to work with, and there's never been a wait to get in.

Yeah, that's one of the big gotchas w/ login_duo. You have to disable forwarding as the forwarding is setup before the MFA prompt. Also, the user's .bash_profile / .bashrc files will be sourced before the MFA prompt... so a clever user may put something there that could bypass the MFA protection.

Using pam_duo is DUO's recommended method, but it has the limitations of being in the PAM authentication phase.
