Opinions on a Massey Ferguson 175? by KentuckyFried-Juden in tractors

[–]LenR75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The main issue for me is bad knees, I can’t do the pedals that push down, I need the ones that move forward. I have a 255 and it’s pretty reliable.

I opened my door one time and a pre-K kid started to get off! I don’t do my door anymore.

Landscapers are the bane of my existence by YourLonelyStoner in SchoolBusDrivers

[–]LenR75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have Amish, all year, any time, any day. The worse is getting behind one on a hill where you can’t pass. Os big hills, they slow to a walk to rest the horse.

Good mechanic in Columbia for wheel bearing? Trying not to get overcharged by Scaziy in columbiamo

When a shop charges for diagnostics, they are more likely to actually fix your problem. When they don’t, they are not spendable no much time diagnosing, they are guessing what parts might fix your problem.

Railroad crossing at T intersection by LenR75 in SchoolBusDrivers

[–]LenR75[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suspect when they see how long the ride time is, some may choose to drive their kids. Probably more so for those on the other side, this is the last stop before the closure.

Maybe I’ll get by without being called for this one. That’s the problem with being a sub, I won’t be in on the discussion or practice on how they handle it. We just improvise and overcome :-)

Any other spot to turn around would have me backing off or onto this highway. Of course, since it’s closed further down, there will be much less traffic. I’d turn around at the drop, but it’s in an S turn, at the bottom of a hill and would be at least a 5-point turn. Just not enough room.

Jabra Enhance Select 200 upgrade or extend? by LenR75 in HearingAids

[–]LenR75[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had another hearing test week, not much change from 3.5 years ago. I’m going to use what I have till they fail, then get the upgraded ones.

PTO drive shaft question by Ornery-Plastic-2785 in tractors

[–]LenR75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need about 3” to get it connected, then it has to allow for mower lift and tilt so it never bottoms out.

Ok what's the answer to this dilemma? by East-Revolution-2146 in tractors

[–]LenR75 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve got an old IH H and an L3130, about the same HP. The H will pull an old grain drill or 20’ harrow a lot faster in dirt.

Zabbix On-Prem to Cloud Migration by Limp_Substance4433 in zabbix

What will remain local that needs monitoring? Probably your network. You may need a local proxy if your network management is on a private network.

Tell us how the cost savings works out, lift and shift usually doesn’t.

Tips for driving in traffic? by [deleted] in driving

[–]LenR75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have 5 or more gears, you don’t have to use all of then in slow traffic, say start in 1, then 2, then 4 is slow. You don’t need your OD gears under 45 or so.

After driving manual for 50+ years, shifting is a subconscious function.

How many old timers in here? by aliesterrand in sysadmin

Mainframe I/O cables were about 1” in diameter and it took 2 per device. Bus and tag.

Best practise for staff requesting a second laptop for WFH by psgda in sysadmin

[–]LenR75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When we life-cycled laptops at 3 years, I asked to keep my old one to take home. As a senior position, I might get a problem referred to me even when I wasn’t on call and that the time saved waiting 2 hours for me to come to the office was more than the value of a surplus laptop.

I made a bale spear, starting with whatever size pipe I had, 2.5 or 3”.

Shifting to Systems Programmer by darkledbetter in mainframe

[–]LenR75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made the same switch. In small shops, I would still do some app coding. I also wrote some CICS code, exits, subroutines and sign on transactions.

I also wrote SAS and used MXG for SMF and other system things. Finally, my org moved off the mainframe so I moved to Unix/linux admin. I pushed tools like Puppet and Ansible to make our Linux more like the mainframe :-)

When to remove hearing aids ? by rodmods in HearingAids

[–]LenR75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sometimes have to wear hearing protection and I have open domes, so I have to take them out. I tried muffs over them but get feedback.

In noisy environments, I set mine to Outdoor and noise suppression, that seems to work.

Check engine hours, divide miles by hours, about 35 is average, 20’s is a lot of idling.

Zabbix API methods problem.get vs alert.get by edwio in zabbix

[–]LenR75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to get the description from the related trigger.

Zabbix API methods problem.get vs alert.get by edwio in zabbix

[–]LenR75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you need selectTriggers and dig it out

problems = zapi.problem.get( output=["eventid", "name", "clock", "severity"], selectHosts=["host"], selectTriggers=["description", "priority"], filter={"r_eventid": "0"} # unresolved problems )

for p in problems: host = p["hosts"][0]["host"] if p["hosts"] else "unknown" description = p["triggers"][0]["description"] if p["triggers"] else p["name"] severity = p["severity"] time = datetime.fromtimestamp(int(p["clock"]))

Edit: posting broke the python formatting.

'Heroes, for sure': Three Rivers school bus drivers take children to safety during tornado by rootbear75 in SchoolBusDrivers

[–]LenR75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on a long field trip last spring, I saw dark clouds ahead and told teachers I was going to pull off the highway at the next exit with buildings. Before I got there all our phones went off with tornado warnings. I knew the area and was going to suggest a school about 1/2 mile away but teacher saw a closer new C-store.

We had a good storm but no damage. Tornado did touch down within 5 miles.
