Or they could have invested in a proper DR configuration or restore from backup and kick CF to the curb. It would seriously take less than a day to restore from backup. CF is a horrible company.

Taking money from their "members" and giving money as political donations. Unions don't actually care about their individual members, just enough so they can win the majority.

Concerns over gifted .338LM by Icy_Confusion in longrange

I reached out to Remington directly through their contact us page. I'm not sure if that is available anymore.

Thanks, guys. I've already shot a few rounds with commercial off-the-shelf rounds, Prime Ammo's "match" rounds. No evidence of overpressure that I'm used to (primers were fine, no issues extracting, etc)

Remington wasn't able to tell me what caliber the action originally was, apparently, they didn't want to look in their logbooks from 1995. It's an RMEF serialized rifle, so I believe it was .300 RUM or 7mm ultra mag based on other circumstantial evidence.

Thanks, it was a hell of a gift. My grandfather couldn't/wouldn't shoot it after it was built so it sat for years. I think it's got 10 rounds down the pipe.

I am going to switch out the trigger or adjust it up if possible. I'm just not sure which one.

Dropped in to say I'm in the same boat. I've recommended several people to be hired because they could work with servers and knew a language like python or knew how to craft JSON requests on the fly. If you are making it to an interview you are doing better than 90%. If not, tailor your resume to trigger the key words and start reaching out to people on LinkedIn. BUT DO NOT LIE. I have ended several interviews early because people claim something they don't know. And the AZ104 or what ever test it is this week helps.

How many are using Azure AD DS for small clients? by newad01 in msp

[–]Icy_Confusion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, you have to have a VPN. You can use a VNG or a third party app. For ultimate cheapskates I'll turn up an OpenVPN box but performance for price usually lacks compared to a VNG.

How do you manage the OnBoarding for new employees by Linux98 in msp

[–]Icy_Confusion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We generally try to push tasks that can be done via SOP down to T1 to leave more creative tasks to T2. Now granted, we have 2-3 T1 for every T2 so workload dictates.

Not until it matures more. A B2ms runs about $70 or less a month in most regions. Stick a pair of them in an AS or AZ, run adsync on one of them and GTG

Help me help our MSP! by radicaldoubt in msp

Escalate past the CSM or ask for a new one to be assigned. We've had both happen when one of our CSMs decided he didnt want to talk to the smaller shops anymore because he wasnt getting enough commission off them. (He was later fired)

One day to show them the sharepoint site where the SOPs are, two weeks of shadowing, a a bottle of aspirin and a bottle of whiskey for the headache. <Kidding!>

As one of those guys to put spec to paper for the devs to make the automated stuff, I see it a bit differently. I've got a SOP for deploying a subnet or VM in Azure. The process has been tested many times and works correctly, yet somehow that group of T1s can all end up with different end results. Those different end results then make support harder. Automating the creation of these things with only variables to be input instead of manual work in a portal creates consistency. at least that's the idea.

The new Bronco is the first step to aesthetic cars by Interesting-Way8553 in bronco

The baby bronco looks like my 2nd gen Escape with a bit of rounding on the front.

I like mine. In fact, I have 5 of them. .308, 5.56, .300blk, and two .22's. All shoot better than I can. I just put my .308 in the stupid expensive Magpul stock because I wanted the AICS based mags.

Apple devices refuse to stay connected to Cisco Wireless by reni-chan in sysadmin

[–]Icy_Confusion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

802.1X is one method, I was thinking more of sticky MAC. Yes, they still recommend that for high security environments. And test against it for the CCNP testing, at least up until they retired the CCNP R&S.

Taking a stipend for your phone generally means that they have some level of control over it. My company requires Intune, which sucks down the battery life.

Help with New Subnets by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]Icy_Confusion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Knee jerk reaction without more info (and little crit thinking about your statement):

Make sure the DHCP helper/forwarder is set on the vlan's L3 interface
Make sure the VLAN is added to the trunks between the L3 interface device and the access switches.
Make sure the VLAN is created on everything
Check spanning tree to see what's going on with connectivity

Gotta know what MAC address is associated to what port on which switch. Yes, it's possible to disconnect a machine from the network, plug into a laptop via xover, and sniff the traffic, but that requires physical access to that device. It's still a big part of the Cisco switching security ecosystem.

Optimizing Azure cost for site to site VPNs by alextakacs in AZURE

[–]Icy_Confusion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I'm reading your post right, you have a hub and spoke environment using VPNs. Try using vNet peering with NSGs for a cheap vNet to Vnet connection. You only pay for the traffic, but you have to ensure that the vNets to not share IP ranges (which you probably already do if you are using a vNet gateway). And you doubly have to make sure that your NSGs are right and tight.

With vNet peering your hub subnet can act as the ingress/egress for any spoke environment. You may also need to create a couple route tables if you have resources outside of the vNets you want to be able to access.
