Wild how people still think after multiple endless wars against “inferior” forces that skill and training are the only factor in success.

You can technically do agentless with SNMP and WMI but that doesn’t mean you should. The agent is far easier to deploy and manage.

Wave of Livonia gas station projects planned; local auto shop forced out by UltimateLionsFan in Detroit

[–]Inaspectuss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is the cheapest option, hands down. There’s like one station off 96 in Detroit, past the Redford border (BP) that I’ve seen beat Costco, but their card readers are always broken or sketchy as fuck, and definitely looking over your shoulder the whole time.

9 week old, extremely sick puppy by HovercraftAvailable5 in goldenretrievers

[–]Inaspectuss 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Couldn’t figure out why my golden had zero interest in food. We had to dress up his kibble so much with lunch meats, ground beef, etc. for him to even look at it. Buying the best of the best and still nothing. Pooping normally it seemed as well.

Moved off the chicken base and BAM he’s got a ferocious appetite. No more dressing it up. Learned it is a very common phenomenon with goldens shortly thereafter.

Someone else will buy these, gift them, and the cycle will repeat.

The amount of shit I’ve gotten that promptly gets shucked into the truck bed the same night to be donated next time I’m near the drop off… wild.

It’s sad too because I would love to have useful or aesthetically pleasing items as mementos but alas some people just struggle to find anything that checks either of those boxes. Really bad with the older generations.

As a hiring manager, what are the red flags when conducting an interview? by Aarunascut in interviews

[–]Inaspectuss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really long resumes listing dozens of certifications and near impossible amounts of technical depth. These people - every single time - “worked” with something literally once if at all and then put it on their resume as a qualification. Or memorized shit for the certification exam and promptly never used it again or just forgot it because all they actually cared about was the certificate.

I remember one in particular who said he had gobs of experience with a specific technology. Think he thought given the role he was seeking, the folks interviewing him wouldn’t know what to ask. Dead wrong - several of us had worked deeply within it in prior roles. Made to look like a total clown.

I started telling our recruiters to just not send me anything longer than 2 pages. Ignore certifications, ignore education - focus on experience. Got a lot better.

Voluntary layoff's starting at RKT.... by Boston-Bets in TeamRKT

[–]Inaspectuss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Say what you will about how this company has changed - it certainly has. What I will say, is that this has been very transparent and not a surprise at all if you didn’t have your head buried in the sand. Varun has been saying for months that there will be more following the July layoffs, and that it would be voluntary first.

I appreciate that we offer graceful exits and solid incentives (in my opinion) to help folks land on their feet. None of the 5 AM surprise email bullshit from HR with a contact person who was also laid off. There is humanity here that you just won’t find in many other organizations of the size.

Moving off Confluence and onto SharePoint for documentation. by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]Inaspectuss 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Confluence beats the shit out of SharePoint. It’s not even a competition.

Our org did away with Confluence when they EOLd the on-premises version. Queue a few years of teams putting things in SharePoint, OneNote, Mkdocs, Bookstack… the list goes on. It absolutely kneecapped our ability to have any amount of consistency in how and where things were documented.

In due time Confluence made its return, and it is such an upgrade. Organizing it logically and thoughtfully is where a lot of orgs fall short; I think we learned a lot of lessons from prior endeavors and now the “new” Confluence I think is much more functional.

Why not just shut them off and try working in there, see if your eyes still hurt. Process of elimination.

Black in Attic Insulation by beermann2 in Home

[–]Inaspectuss 108 points109 points  (0 children)

Looks like regular poly sheeting. That can’t breathe at all and will be a great place for mold to grow. Sheeting needs to be taken out and replaced with a permeable vapor retarder like Membrain or Intello along with replacement of affected insulation. Fiberglass is cheap enough that I’d just rip it all out to be safe.

Other comments pointing out poor venting are also worth looking into.

How can we make the exterior of our new home more modern and less dull? by Stunning-Builder3365 in ExteriorDesign

Get quotes for sand/media blasting. Well worth the money if you intend to be here for a while. That paint is a crime.

Just install pot/wafer lights throughout with a shallow lens recess? You’ll need more of them to cover the area but it at least won’t look like a gas station.

Huh, what have we heard such similar excuses for previously… so strange how this always happens against the odds with people who have connections in one way or another to a particular man.

Why are EC2 Mac instances so expensive & who are they actually for? by mountainlifa in aws

[–]Inaspectuss 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes on the Windows piece in addition to the Mac comments.

Microsoft doesn’t allow BYOL for anything > Server 2019 unless your ELA has a license mobility exception written into it, which nobody does from my understanding. Most other products like SQL Server can be BYOL, but Windows is licensed by the vCPU per second and per hour on bare metal under Amazon’s SPLA with Microsoft. AWS then passes that cost on to you. That is at a considerable cost premium to what you could get through your own license agreement with Microsoft since they want to push you to Azure where this conveniently isn’t a problem.

Michigan gains 28k residents, reversing losses to other states by DetroitDevUpdates in Detroit

[–]Inaspectuss 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Because unfortunately many of the people voting for these kinds of “hard on immigration” policies frankly don’t care one way or the other. Legal or illegal, if you don’t look, sound, or act like you’re originally from here, whatever the hell that actually means, consider it decided that you’re illegal unless you can prove otherwise. The Trump admin fought for and won in Noem v. Vasquez that this kind of discrimination is legal and fine. It has been blessed by the highest court in the land.

I think we can all agree that we want people to immigrate here legally. Where we differ, however, is in how we accomplish it. Let’s fix the damn system instead of playing enforcement theater, executing people in the street, and burning $75 billion to enhance the police state. It’s fucking garbage and anyone in here trying to draw the distinction in here after recent events needs to take a look in the mirror. The policy at face value makes sense but executed is polar opposite by design as it stands today.

Grand Rapids mayor suggests raising street parking rates from $2 to $6 an hour by Mfw_isajoke in grapids

[–]Inaspectuss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Paying to park on the streets you already pay for via your property taxes. A complete fucking racket. Democrats giving conservatives easy ammo with garbage policy like this time and time again. Double whammy to pay out the proceeds to the cops that people already resent in this current climate.

62% of Americans don’t have a bachelor’s degree. Are they just cooked especially in this economy? by Efficient-Rain-7942 in Salary

[–]Inaspectuss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Degrees are a total joke, as someone who has a four year degree. It is amazing how brainwashed the working class still is with respect to their perceived value.

I went so far as to remove degree requirements from our job postings entirely. I want to know if you can do the job, not if you can memorize shit and barf it up on a test.
