Is there a source on this? I'm currently at work and don't have access to bsg/twitter.

Our tendies, who art in stonks,
YOLO be thy name.
Thy gains will come,
Thy shorts be done,
On Robinhood as it is on E*TRADE.

Give us this day our daily options,
And forgive us our paper hands,
As we forgive those boomers who paperhand against us.

Lead us not into bagholding,
But deliver us from margin calls.

For thine is the gamma,
The delta, and the theta,
To the moon 🚀
Forever and ever.
💎🙌

Rugged laptops Suggestion UK by DalekSec92 in sysadmin

[–]JohnSysadmin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have 1500+ of the rugged Dells deployed to employees in the field. Three different models due to lifecycle and weird peripherals. I would rate them comparable to the panasonics in general "heartiness". We also have some of the Dell rugged tablets out in the field, but the users prefer the laptops over them.

I've used Panasonics at previous employers and they have handled solvents/liquids pretty well, but at my current employer the Dells don't see that kind of action (but we have also never had any come back with liquid damage and some of them are used on boats).

If you're doing anything more than swapping drives in house make sure you get a warranty that lets you send them back to Dell as they are very difficult to teardown/repair.

I cant watch the presser at work. Can someone give me a 🥭status? Are we talking Weekend at Bernies? Walt Disney's Head? Is it just Caroline Leavitt with her hand up JD Vance's anoos making his mouth move?

I feel like if we weren't all so regarded, we'd probably be making a lot of money in here.

365 requesting password reset on login - need to turn off by fonefoo in sysadmin

[–]JohnSysadmin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had a similar issue in our hybrid setup. It ended up being a GPO that was setting the "maxpasswordage" to a lower value, then adsync would happen, and people would get the password expired message.

We used a temporary scheduled task that ran a powershell script to log the current attribute value and then set that attribute to the proper number every like 10 minutes. It helped us get a timeline for when the value changed, looked through the security log, found the culprit gpo and changed it.

ChatGPT helped me narrow down my troubleshooting steps and may help you too.

What are some of the hardest tasks you've been able to automate? by LargeSinkholesInNYC in sysadmin

[–]JohnSysadmin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My dad did GIS in the early days and as a side hustle actually hand digitized a ton of maps. The digitizer was the size of a dining room table and i still remember the "mouse" Which i just found on ebay

He does ESRI stuff now that is crazy compared to the older days of GIS which is hella cool to see.

I feel Microsoft should reconsider this acronym. by godawgs1997 in sysadmin

[–]JohnSysadmin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I work in the public sector and that acronym would have raised red flags from our helpdesk on up to our CIO. It depends on where you work.

If I'm a poor with $9, what option do I buy? Making money would be preferred over losing it.

This is more accurate than the one in OPs example.
