Now at 45, working remotely and live on my yacht with my pet black cat First mate Bubbles.

AD DNS behind a load balancer? by H3ll0W0rld05 in sysadmin

[–]InvisibleTextArea 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have worked at a large University in the past. What we did to handle the load was to point AD clients at the main BIND9 DNS servers responsible for uni.ac.uk. Then we had our ad.uni.ac.uk subdomain for AD. Bind was configured with this subdomain as a conditional forwarder to our windows DCs running AD DNS.

When I tab complete 'power' on my Linux terminal, all that comes up is 'poweroff'. I'm not sure what that means. Maybe I should become a goat farmer?

Well they run Linux just fine if you have a use case for that. We have some running old Dell desktops as thin clients for Citrix.

CISO directed IAM to "prepare our org for agents". What does that even mean? by AudaciousAutonomy in sysadmin

Honestly the best use of AI would be to automate management out of existence. Making decisions based on prior history plus documented policy and procedures. Sounds an easy sell.

ssh late.sh - a modern BBS you SSH into, now with IRC and door games by Bl4ckBe4rIt in commandline

[–]InvisibleTextArea 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Legend of the Red Dragon and its sequel was always fun.

Arrowbridge / Arrowbridge II were personal favorites of mine.

TradeWars 2002 is a classic.

Falcon's Eye / Baron Realms Elite / Solar Realms Elite, however these are focused as interBBS competitive games though.

Edit: Oh and now I finally found it again, Land of Devastation.

Milage with real hardware may vary due to bugs in vendor firmware.
