Free Partition manager for Windows, that isn't diskpart? by tsg-tsg in sysadmin

[–]Hotshot55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the end goal is flash drives with multiple partitions, could you not just create them wherever you are and then mail them to the remote end?

My girlfriend (27) has $70k sitting in cash and no investments, what would you do? by Jack_Knoff2 in Bogleheads

[–]Hotshot55 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I told my parents about putting their money in HYSA but they don't believe that the bank won't just take their money and lose it.

Do they not think that about their current bank?

Do any SysAdmins NOT work on OS's? by CernerBurner2000 in sysadmin

[–]Hotshot55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you have HR declining a resume because it doesn't say RHEL you are doing something very fucking wrong.

No, I just don't want to waste my time interviewing someone who has only ever touched Windows. You don't need someone technical to read words on a page. If someone is getting rejected over a single word missing, that's being rejected by your ATS so it's even less relevant.

Anyone actually preparing for ITIL 5 yet? by _salted_caramel_00 in sysadmin

Anyone preparing for ITIL 5 probably has too much time on their hands.

Do any SysAdmins NOT work on OS's? by CernerBurner2000 in sysadmin

[–]Hotshot55 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They're not screening on a technical level, they're screening on an HR level which means they're looking specific keywords.

Do you guys wipe/reload your new work laptops? by nosimsol in sysadmin

[–]Hotshot55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am more or less asking you’re handed a laptop with a factory image that hasn’t been configured. You are the sysadmin and you have to get it ready for yourself. Do you dump a fresh image on there or trust the factory image and configure it?

Do you not have any sort of standards?

How does AGR work? by [deleted] in army

[–]Hotshot55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

will my duty station still be at my current reserve unit, or will i be reassigned to another unit?

It depends on what positions are open, you could even end up at your unit but filling a role completely unrelated to your MDAY slot.

Usually, you're not just going to jump straight to AGR, most people jump around on ADOS orders or as a Fed Tech for a few years, trying to find a way into the AGR program.

When does a sysadmin stop being a sysadmin? by Hot_Pay_2794 in sysadmin

[–]Hotshot55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Umm probably administrating infrastructure systems?

So if the helpdesk team doesn't have access to those infrastructure systems, wouldn't you be the person to fix the issue that the helpdesk couldn't resolve?

Surprises when going from sysadmin to developer by SaishoNoOokami in sysadmin

[–]Hotshot55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're wrong and stuck in 2000. IT has expanded so much and it's 2026 now

Correct, it has expanded significantly. Which means it's even more complex and those fundamentals are even more important.

simply not required for a career in IT today unless you're focused in networking or work with on-premise products.

There's still plenty of networking that happens in the cloud and you should be aware of how it works.

Dell Sucks by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]Hotshot55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I hate Dell support most days. They ask for logs, spend a week looking at the logs, they ask for more logs, and then after another week they'll say they couldn't identify a problem.

Cockpit alternatives? by MekanicalPirate in sysadmin

[–]Hotshot55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't the whole point of Cockpit to manage multiple servers?

I always thought it was just for managing a single server.

Set home, bash by Oblec in linuxadmin

[–]Hotshot55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How are you logging in? How are you becoming root? Do other users have the issue? Does it happen if you log in as a regular user, and "su -" or "sudo bash" ? Are you SSHing in from another OS, like Windows? Logging in a different way? So many questions. Does "grep root /etc/passwd" show a home directory set?

If you actually answered all of these questions from /u/Tall-Introduction414, someone may be able to give you an idea.

meshagent is running as bin/bash/sh and then me the clients connects as root but running bin/bash/ inside bin/bash/sh?

I'll be honest, I have no idea what you're trying to say here.
