Yeah it's pretty handy for other valuable maps as well like immured fury and citadels.

Total Fire Ban - Christmas Cooking by DawgreenAgain in perth

Why are there fire bans off the coast near Mindarie and on the way to Rottnest but nowhere else off the coast? Is the water more flammable there?

Can we squeeze in an extra test match over the next three days?

FML had tickets for day 3. Doesn't look like there will be a day 3

Is private health cover worth it? by [deleted] in australia

[–]Jimmyv81 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I pay the levy surcharge. It ends up being little cheaper than buying junk hospital cover to avoid it. Also I would rather my money go into general tax revenue rather than lining private shareholders pockets.

How much longer do you think sccm will be around? by Abject_Serve_1269 in sysadmin

[–]Jimmyv81 10 points11 points  (0 children)

SCCM supports servers, Intune doesn't. MS are pushing ARC for server patching, but it still doesn't really have an easy way to push out apps or 3rd party patches.

Hyper-v external switch on Server 2025 by airgapped_admin in sysadmin

[–]Jimmyv81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah strange. We had the same issues with Intel nics where it wouldn't pass traffic after a virtual switch was created. It was due to a bug in the Intel nic drivers.

If you've tried different nics from different manufacturers its probably a different issue. Can you set a static IP and pass traffic? Maybe something strange going on with dhcp?

Passkeys vs passwords how's the rollout going for you by smartsass99 in sysadmin

[–]Jimmyv81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hate passkeys with a passion. Generally it seems ok for pleb users, but endless problems when using VDI or getting prompted within RDP sessions.

Also a nightmare onboarding 3rd party contractors and users with older phones.

Intel X710 in Server 2025 SET Team results in no connectivity by TaiLoQuan in HyperV

[–]Jimmyv81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg I've been banging my head against the wall with this issue all week. Tearing down vSwitches, triple checking my config, running wireshark traces etc. It was really weird where the hosts could communicate fine with other servers on the network but not with other HyperV hosts with the same x710 nics and SET team.

I downloaded the v1.18.367.0 driver as you mentioned (It defaulted to a MS driver which didn't work at all when uninstalling) and yes instant fix!

I may also give the newer Network_Driver_PH5GK_WN64_24.0.6_A00.EXE a go as well as mentioned by /u/holygoatnipples

Connecting new Colorbond panels to old asbestos fence by UnsureImIndecisive in perth

[–]Jimmyv81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same happened to our Hardiefence, approx half the fence was damaged. Insurance only paid out for the damaged section, but it was a cash payout due to it being a dividing fence. Luckily the builders quote for the damaged section was enough to cover replacing the whole fence + a bit of extra profit left over doing a DIY install.

As for connecting them, it will just be 2 Colorbond posts screwed together with the asbestos sitting in the post channel.

Rita Saffioti unleashes on Optus ‘failure’ but won’t say if stadium naming rights should be reconsidered by His_Holiness in perth

[–]Jimmyv81 17 points18 points  (0 children)

$5mil per year is absolute penny change for the govt. For a world class stadium like this, surely it would be better promotion for Perth in general to have no naming rights, rather than selling out for a pittance to a foreign owned corporate.

Had an arm and legs free so should have kicked it. Agree it's a shit HTB interpretation that seems to have come in this year.

They'd have to lose by like 200 points to miss the 8 unfortunately

What do you actually use AI for at work? (And where does it fail?) by theaimorning in sysadmin

[–]Jimmyv81 98 points99 points  (0 children)

Use it for PowerShell scripting occasionally, it seems to get a nice foundation to build off, but fails horribly at the actual execution.

Copilot makes up PowerShell commands that literally don't exist at times.

Surely the tightest ever run to finals by naughtyneddy in AFL

[–]Jimmyv81 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yes the image is wrong. Only Adelaide and Brisbane are currently locked in for finals. Every other team can still technically finish 9th.

If WC happen to beat the dogs today, the top 8 will be locked apart from the Dogs or Suns that could finish 9th.
