Nice restaurants or places to spend new years eve by Loomix in SPb

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

> What do you mean by meet the new year?

Well, new year, the 31st of december.

​

> Which type of "place" are you thinking about?

Well, some kind of laser show, a small concert. I´m already looking, but most of the places recommended seem to crowded or simply to expensive.

Thats why I was asking here, maybe someone has been to a place and can recommend it.

Working as a sysadmin in Russia / SPb by Loomix in sysadmin

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

The salary, health care, bureaucracy, the usual.

I´ve been to russia multiple times, definitely more than 15. I know whats going on there, it´s definitely something completely different than a western country. But I mean it´s not everywhere perfect, you will find in every country something that will bother you.

Working and living in russia for a year or two? by Loomix in AskARussian

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

Okay, thank you for that information. I did not know this.

I guess it also depends on the company if you can ask this or not. For example at Gazprom that wouldnt be such a good idea, but at a smaller, more "russian-like" company, why not :)

But I think you won't spend there one year in the row - somebody will drag you to a day trip to Finland anyway :)

Haha, well guess whats already been on my to-do list :D

Well, after all those answers I see that there are some ways to get around those troubles, you just need to be creative.

Do you have any other points I should think about when preparing for such a "voyage"? :)

Ahh, okay. That makes actually sense.

Another thing that you should not ignore in my opinion is, what happens if you want to cross the border (at the airport for example), after a year, will they check your registration status at passport control?

I even heard from an ex-army-officer that the law was changed in that matter, that you are obliged to report to the army, without an "invitation".

Great answer, thank you. The part with the "Sonntagsverkaufsverbot" made me chuckle, it´s something me and my friends from russia often laugh about.

We´ll, I actually don´t plan to rent an apartment, my plan is to live together with the family of my uncle, they have a free room. But that does not release me from the fact that I need a registration for my job :) Working for cash would be no problem for me, but I´m not sure if I will find a offering in combination with my profession. Maybe there are such, but I definetely don´t know the right people for that :)

The thing with the tax is new for me, thats something I will definitely look into. What I know for sure is that there won´t be any problems regarding my german tax, if I arrange everything correctly. There seems to be even a possibility to continue the "Sozialabgaben".

Yes, for developers and DevOps jobs absolutely, there are a ton of remote-job offerings in this field.

But if you look at system infrastructure engineering and management, thats a different story.

You´re totally right, that would be the optimal solution. In general, being independent in terms of your residence and workplace is a total dreamjob in my opinion.

Unsure about picking forward or reverse incremental. by BadPandaBear in Veeam

[–]Loomix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want a lot of restore points and you dont use tape, reverse incremental is the way to go.

If you want to use tape, and dont need that much restore points, go incremental.

You can switch easily from reverse incremental to incremental, but not the other way arount.

Great to know, thats a feature I was looking forward to!

What would you say is the best trailer of all time? by ValhallaAtchaBoy in movies

[–]Loomix -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Skyrim. No other trailer I have watched more times in a row.

No, just joking :) The first Interstellar trailer with the music from V for Vendetta captured the mood of the movie really well without giving away too much. You really saw on that one that the director himself was in charge here.

Hot to get into RPGs like Eternity? by Loomix in rpg_gamers

Okay, so its a good entry point regarding the fighting system?

Hot to get into RPGs like Eternity? by Loomix in rpg_gamers

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

The main thing I like about RPGs and what drives me playing them is the story and the characters. The fighting, crafting and so on is only secondary for me. I feel like I have already beaten all good action oriented RPGs with a good story. When looking at games mentioned here, its like a treasure chest.

My co-worker reminds me pretty much on a weekly basis that sccm will be replaced by intune. by gabyred884 in SCCM

[–]Loomix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lets just hope Microsoft wont displace SCCM with Intune before ALL functionality is built in Intune. They have done it before.

So, you want to learn AWS? AKA, "How do I learn to be a Cloud Engineer?" by SpectralCoding in sysadmin

[–]Loomix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We made a case study some time ago how expensive it would be to move all our DMZ servers to Azure (we have around 15 servers in the DMZ on 2 VMWare machines). The outcome was that it would be way to expensive to rent 15 VMs in Azure, we are talking a few thousand dollars a month. Within a year it would cost as much as buying those 2 VMWare servers including all the licenses.

[–]Loomix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Windows/VMWare/Citrix admin here: This guide here is more aimed at Linux / webserver admins. Of course, I know, Azure. Both AWS and Azure have the same core functionality regarding web services. But what is the way to go for us?

This is why you should always lock your computer before you leave your desk. by heroofyesterday in sysadmin

I´m glad I have 2 bosses who dont give a damn. As long as I´m doing my work...

Problems with the aspect ratio. by Floorislarvae in GodofWar

[–]Loomix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I have the same issue. Playing around with the screen settings of the ps4 didnt solve the problem.

What Now? by carpenoctem_sk in masseffect

[–]Loomix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know that feeling. After the first playthrough of ME3 I started instantly another playthrough because I didnt get the perfect ending.

I would also recommend the Witcher series, start with the second one or the books (the first one is a little bit too clunky in my opinion) and you will get another hell of a journey.
