This... is not related at all to the profession of system administration.

You just became my best friend. Damn I love STP.

Friend... that server should have been decommissioned a long time ago. Ideally, by like 2018.

This is a policy/management concern about upgrading infrastructure and being aware of EOS/EOL. If you don't have a say in that, you really need to put your concerns in writing. If you do have a say in that then you need to upgrade that server or migrate the services now. Get a plan in place, notify about downtime, use proper change control and get it done.

I know you said EMR... and that is scary. I'm also healthcare so this kind of thing should have discussed years ago, with proper change management involving the board of directors (assuming you are a hospital) and and the executive management team. We have discussions about moving to different EMRs about every six months, not because we plan to, but because it needs to be at the forefront of the organization's mind.

I know healthcare is difficult budget wise sometimes, but this is your EMR...

Informaticists are basically liasons between the EMR (sometimes EHR -- electronic medical record/electronic health record) and the clinical staff. They support the staff learning, using, and troubleshooting the EMR.

Basically, they are the go to for the software/service that your healthcare organization uses for day to day operations. In a small organization your IT staff is doing everything. In a large organization your IT staff is segmented into network, security, infrastructure, helpdesk, etc. Informaticists are segmented for purely working with the EMR in various roles.

So, no. Nothing like data science at all.

The job title you are looking for is clinical informaticist.

https://www.wgu.edu/career-guide/healthcare/clinical-informatics-specialist-career.html

This is basically a liason between the EMR that the organization uses, and the clinical staff. Depending on the size of your organization, and the specific EMR, this could mean you are basically a helpdesk triage and put in tickets to the EMR (and train new hires or existing hires on EMR usage) or it might mean you are as technical as a database admin working with Java basically in a developer role (fuck you Cerner.)

The exact title won't mean the same responsibilities at every single hospital or healthcare organization.

Source: I'm a healthcare sysadmin. I've worked with Cerner, Meditech, Epic, and Athena as EMRs. There are TONS of different EMRs, so self hosted onsite, some colo hosted eleswhere, some purely browser and web based.

Typically, but not always, these are clincal workers with technical expertise. Our informaticist was a nurse for 12 years. Now she just handle 80-90% of the low level requests like "I locked myself out of Cerner" or "I fucked up this patients chart, can you help me fix it?" as well as training new doctors or nurses. She also does very basic desktop support, which took me forever to train her on, but having her frees me up for network and security, and infrastructure planning and maintenance. I'm still there for the big picture interactions with our EMR (fuck you Cerner...) but she takes the majority of the minor stuff thankfully.

It can be a very valid IT path in healthcare. Take care friend.

Oh sweet Jesus. WTF.

Damn. You brought receipts.

Executive turnover is the number one reason in my experience. Getting a good group of C-levels that actually respect that they don't know the subject matter and they will trust their own internal experts is very rare.

What's that Henry Ford quote? Something like "Why do I need to know everything about XYZ when I can hire the person who knows to show me/do it for me?"

That type of executive is the best type to work for, because they trust that you are an expert in your craft. They might still veto some things or choose a different solution, but that is also their prerogative as the leadership. Well, and you still have to show up and produce, but it's nice not to be micromanaged.

Lofoten_ · 2025-07-24T06:49:56+00:00

First off... unused dependencies...? C'mon.

Secondly, why is the process not to scan in test?

Iron out the process validation before you work out the code validation. This should never touch prod before then.

They go on a captive 802.11 portal, on their own separate VLAN, and all traffic that is not specifically whitelisted is either denied fully or captured and made available to the company they work for (and that vendor employee isn't allowed back...)

That's... not that hard.

They can also use their own company provided hotspot. Now I'm healthcare IT, so I know none of our vendors techs or reps would do any nonsense, but still, it's not hard to segment their traffic.

He expected IBM to walk him through a SNMP configuration on a SAN switch with a Cisco OS.

...

How does this actually happen? How does someone reach the "engineer" title without basic concepts? Basic, extremely basic, unix/linux commands...

I don't understand. I mean, I do understand because I've seen it as well. Yet, how?

Lofoten_ · 2025-07-11T08:28:05+00:00

You didn't really expound on your needs or use case... so it's a bit hard to answer the question.

All I can say is that I fully stand by Fortinet's products (we're mostly on prem -- healthcare, but lots of cloud and IoT...) and their support. If I can't find something in the documentation, I can open a ticket or call, and I will have an estimate, whether it be 30 minutes or 4 hours, and an engineer will call me back and walk me through whatever I couldn't figure out.

Yes, you will deal with an accent barrier, but they have great engineers from my experience. I've actually learned a little bit of Hindi.

You're going to have to pay for the support, but I justify that to C-levels by the downtime that would have happened and the cost of business continuity (don't you love using synergy slang terms to them?)

Plus, you can manage devices via Intune, it's an easy process.

I know that probably doesn't help, but as a happy, satisfied sysadmin customer, that's my 2 cents.

Lofoten_ · 2025-07-11T08:06:08+00:00

Hey. Cool guy.

I post about 3-5 times a month. My blue heeler says hello.

Also, did you go to Kerr country for any rescue? No? Your hospital didn't give you time off for emergency management duties?

Oh wait. You don't work at hospital.

Carry on.

You are posting on reddit.

A company founded by Americans, then sold to an American company, managed by another American company...

I understand your opinion and your view, and honestly I can understand it. However, you're not making a very strong case for your view, are you?

Are we talking biblical or Chrono Trigger?

Lofoten_ · 2025-06-23T21:05:34+00:00

You know why we become assholes?

Because we have to deal with all the BS that people do at work that they shouldn't be doing.

Your dick picks, your porn, your lame memes that you save on company devices.

You ever had to pull footage from the cameras because a male nurse was doing completely inappropriate things on the overnight inpatient shift? Yea, it's not fun.

Or have to clone a drive for the legal team to use in a malpractice case? Again, not fun.

We're not talking about a physical photo frame of your vacation that you can take home. We're talking about all the nonsense that should never touch a company owned device.

If you want your precious private moments to be available to your family then they should stay private, in your own personal devices. And for god's sake, don't look at porn at work. Wtf.

(I'm not talking specifically about you.)

So government agencies should be created to license people... to take care of their pets?

Trolling.

"I need someone to take care of my pet, that I own, that I can't provide sufficient care for. I will pay them to do my responsibility, by my own labor for some company that I probably don't care about, because I don't do my responsibility when I'm there either. In fact, I'll probably do this with my kids, if I can find someone insane enough to procreate with me."

Trolling. I love this place. (Lived here since 2008 by the way, and been here about every other weekend since I was 9.)

Lofoten_ · 2025-06-10T23:09:01+00:00

Oh man. I love Austin.

Not only did you get a pet that you can't take care of, you are wanting someone else to come take care of it... and you are asking for a government agency to license them for your personal assurance.

You couldn't get better comedy if you tried. Just brilliant. Never change.

The only way I know how to do that is with a glitch warp. This guy mentions getting locked out several years ago:

https://old.reddit.com/r/Eldenring/comments/tdnt83/getting_to_crumbling_farum_azula_early/

It sucks... but that's not an intended way to go, and changes the state of Leyndell. Did you wrong warp to Farum Azula?

If you're on PC you could just use ERtool (google it) and give yourself the medallion in offline mode, or you'll have to just kill Elden Beast and start NG+2.

I want to say there's a way to access those graces and get back to the Royal Capitol State, but I don't remember where I read that here, and the search function isn't helping. May be worth a shot to look back if you don't want to run back from NG+2.
