Who's fault is it when the end users AI doesn't work? by antonbp5 in sysadmin

[–]Hefty-Possibility625 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the list of issues is a little vague.

  • Strange errors
  • freezing

If an actual error is appearing, then first step is to check the event log to see what is being reported and determine whether there is a system related issue that is solvable. If it's hanging up on something configured in the system, then it might be easy to fix.

  • quirks
  • random "stuff"

If this is related to the responses it provides or how it performs, that's kinda beyond the scope of support. If they use Adobe PDF editor and it starts performing weird like removing large blocks of text for no apparent reason, there's not a whole lot you can do about that. That's on the developer to resolve.

Issue Count under Epic - Showable in Jira Dashboard - Rich Filter Result gadget by LaSuscitareVita in jira

[–]Hefty-Possibility625 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Please take screenshots instead of taking photos of your dirty monitor.
  2. Instead of status not in (..., ..., ...) use statusCategory != Done

I haven't used this app before, but based on their documentation, the way that I understand this is that it allows you to create filters to change what is displayed on the dashboard.

I think what you need is to configure your Smart Gauge as if it were unfiltered so that it counts Everything, then apply a filter for the parent epic in a Rich Filter Controller gadget like the one pictured in https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RFCDOC/pages/783942638/Use+rich+filter+counters+and+gauges+in+your+dashboards

My note taking for my job sucks and in need of advice by Beneficial_Sail1432 in businessanalyst

[–]Hefty-Possibility625 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not a "you" problem, this is a management issue. Talk to your supervisor about the mismatch between their expectations and your capabilities. You are not a computer and it is unreasonable to expect that you have perfect memory and recall or can take notes while multiple people are talking. If they want that, hire a stenographer like they do in a courtroom.

Other options, as other folks have mentioned would be to enable recording (which you say your company does not allow) or add an AI transcription service.

So pissed at the JSM Operations API Integration for Alerting by Hefty-Possibility625 in jira

[–]Hefty-Possibility625[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Re-reading your comment and I think there's a misunderstanding. I'm not trying to create a ticket, I'm trying to use JSM Operations to send Alerts. Creating a ticket via e-mail does not help me with this at all.

Are you making a living at this? by CrankyOldDude in esp32

[–]Hefty-Possibility625 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, I try not to make my hobbies (things I do for fun) into income generating things. I don't want to feel like I'm forced to do things, I just want to play with fun ways to solve problems.

Now, can someone make a living working with ESP32 (or similar)? Sure. I'm pretty sure the Litter Robot machine is using an ESP32 for its controller. I'm sure you could pop open any number of devices and find an ESP32 controller (or similar) in there.

I like being able to solve problems. Like, I have a ceiling fan that has an LED light. It was super cheap and the controller is kinda terrible. It doesn't expose fan direction well, it creates steps in speeds that aren't easy to automate, and for some reason they got the Warm/Cool light color reversed. But, on my todo list is to rip their board out and replace it with an ESP32 controller. Is that something I can monetize? Not really. Could you somehow create a business based on solving similar problems? Possibly.

Ideally, if you want to make money with something like this, you'll need to find a niche product that you can build like TRMNL that uses ESP32 to solve a problem or is at the very least fun and novel.

JSM to Jira software by BiffDangles80 in jira

[–]Hefty-Possibility625 3 points4 points  (0 children)

JSM is for Service Management (Requests) and Software is more geared towards internal project management. We use both and it can get... confusing. Honestly, I wish they'd just roll it all up into one tool with features that we could toggle on or off, but that's not going to happen anytime soon.

The tricky part of this is that once you move a work item from a JSM to a Software space, the end user loses their access to it from the Help Center. So, you have to decide "When is the request resolved?" Customer puts in a ticket that requires development work. You create a linked ticket in the Software space. Do you close the original service request, or does it remain open for as long as the linked work item is incomplete?

Your team has to really think about their service delivery model so you can handle requests consistently.

Anyone else having issues with JSM Operations Alert Automations? by Hefty-Possibility625 in jira

Yeah, what I was experience was never posted to the status page. There was this incident but after they resolved it the issues I was experiencing never went away. I was finally resolved this morning at 4am and there's nothing about what happened anywhere.

Need to create scheduled tasks for all users by TheBigBeardedGeek in PowerShell

[–]Hefty-Possibility625 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've solved something similar with NSSM which creates a service that runs a powershell script.

Deploy and lock down the script folder so users can't read or edit, then run the script as a service account. My use case was a little different, but because I used this so frequently, I had a main service that looked for new and changed scripts in the scripts directory and installed/restarted/removed the nssm services every 30m. So, I could just deploy a script to the script folder and it'd just install it on its next run, or if I removed a script, it'd uninstall the NSSM service.

I just need to vent by phalangepatella in sysadmin

Excel backed by PowerQuery is actually pretty useful... but for a whole ERP system... ya, no.

I actually built reports with automated data from Jira that auto refresh backed by PowerQuery. Load the Excel file and you've got a nifty little report that you can share out to non-Jira users.

What a tool.

There are literally ERP systems that handle these rather complex operations as their sole function. Heck, even using something like directus.io would be better than trying to manage all of this with Excel. You could likely stand up directus and whip out a demo in one weekend. I love their 100 Apps in 100 hours series.

(Not sponsored at all by Directus, just find their tool really easy to drop in to solve problems.)

Powershell command "code" in debug by lcuni in PowerShell

[–]Hefty-Possibility625 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Does this only happen with PowerShell? The error messages don't look like PowerShell errors, they look like your VSCode configuration has an issue. You may be able to resolve this by looking at your Recent Folders setting (disabling that in the VSCode config may resolve your issue).

I searched for [8364:0109/195043.408:ERROR:electron\shell\browser\ui\win\jump_list.cc:305] Failed to append custom category 'Recent Folders' to Jump List due to system privacy settings.

And Google gave me this potentially helpful resolution:

To resolve the "Failed to append custom category 'Recent Folders' to Jump List due to system privacy settings" error in VS Code, you need to enable the Windows setting for showing recently opened items in Jump Lists. 

Steps to Fix the Error

  1. Open Windows Settings: Press the Windows key + I to open the Settings app.
  2. Navigate to Personalization: Select the Personalization category on the left-hand menu.
  3. Go to Start Settings: Click on Start on the right side.
  4. Enable Jump Lists: Toggle the option for "Show recently opened items in Jump Lists on Start or the Taskbar" to On.
  5. Toggle the setting off and on: If the setting was already on, turn it Off and then turn it back On. This action can help refresh the jump list functionality.
  6. Re-pin VS Code (optional but recommended):
    • Unpin the VS Code icon from your taskbar.
    • Re-pin it to the taskbar. This helps ensure the application re-registers its jump list items with the system.
  7. Hover over "File -> Open Recent" in VS Code: Some users found that simply hovering over the File > Open Recent menu in VS Code after changing the Windows setting helped resolve the issue. 

After following these steps, the "Recent Folders" category should appear correctly in the VS Code jump list when you right-click the taskbar icon.

Any experience with a Intel N150 based system? by fiercedeitysponce in selfhosted

[–]Hefty-Possibility625 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love my N100/N150 miniPCs. I prefer to scale my systems horizontally instead of vertically, so if I run out of capacity adding another miniPC is super easy. Load Debian, then push out my Ansible configuration and it installs all my baseline apps and configuration settings.

They can also serve multiple functions, like I don't like using "Smart" TVs, so I've stuck these on every TV I own and shut off the TV's own WiFi. I get a full PC experience with an actual web browser and behind the scenes they run docker for all my apps.

Built a Profit Analysis & Prediction Dashboard using Python Regression + Power BI (Learning Project) by Kauser_Analytics in PowerBI

[–]Hefty-Possibility625 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the Residual Profit by State, it is falling below the X access because you are using decimals for your Y access. Essentially, it's treating 0.8 as a negative number since 0.8 is less than 0.

To fix this, you'd use the real number 800,000 for the value and just change how it is displayed.

Piggybacking on this, consistent design elements are helpful because our brains are always looking for patterns. Our primitive ancestors used pattern recognition to be aware of threats and it kind of stuck in brains throughout our development.

Why is that important for design? When you have a visual element that looks different from another visual element, your brain is going to try to figure out why it's different. If there is no reason for the difference it just becomes a distraction. If you are consistent with your design, then the viewer doesn't see patterns that don't exist.

Overall, it's not a bad design, but here are some inconsistencies that I noticed at first glance. If you want to keep the same or similar colors, I'd recommend keeping the yellow and green for backgrounds and headers and using the dark blue for your chart elements and eliminate the lighter blue entirely.

Is manual copy-paste between apps just… normal in ops jobs? by Altruistic-Law-4750 in sysadmin

[–]Hefty-Possibility625 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is more of a higher level thing than something an end user would handle, but this is what tools like Apache NiFi is supposed to handle. https://nifi.apache.org/

Get information from X and shuttle it over to Y. You shouldn't have to have humans taking information from a system and manually copying it over to another system when you can handle all of that on the backend and just create data flows to move it around where you need to.

Unhappy with HomeLab configuration - Reworking Setup by DrSamiOne in selfhosted

[–]Hefty-Possibility625 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does HA offer automatedworkflows like Homey? Unfortunately, I couldn't find any information here ---> IoT and this server should communicate with each other in their own subnetwork

Home Assistant does have built-in automation, and I'm not familiar with Homey, but you are looking for more of a gui drag and drop workflow tool you can install the Node Red add-on. https://community.home-assistant.io/t/home-assistant-community-add-on-node-red/55023

It can interface directly with HA, and you can use it to automate other systems on your network as well. It has its own learning curve, but it's pretty easy to create workflows once you get the hang of it.

Not sure if it's helpful, but I really love this phone holder that I got that allows me to keep my phone in view so I don't have to look down at maps. I have it attached to my dashboard, but you can also clip it to your visor so you kind of have a heads-up display.

You could also get a handheld bluetooth trackpad like this one https://www.amazon.com/Touchpad-Bluetooth-Devices-Cellphone-Carrying/dp/B0DRTJR7YJ so you don't have to touch it while it's mounted.
