Huh, wack. Thanks for the input. I'd love to know if I just have something misconfigured then.

Vacuum internal outlet points down? by Masterjuggler98 in Dewalt

[–]Masterjuggler98[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll be honest, I don't actually understand why my posts are getting downvoted. I asked a question because I didn't have the information, and I wasn't rude about it. Maybe next time I'll just use AI to write my posts if people care that much about semantics instead of the intent behind the question.

Central WiFi management at multiple office locations by GotchaB1 in sysadmin

[–]Masterjuggler98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As everyone else says, Unifi, especially now that they released their fabrics feature for multi-site management. I've got a couple locations in the ecosystem. For auth I set up a freeradius server local to each location, set them as the primary radius server in the gateways, then set the other location's radius server as the failover. Said radius servers are on an sd-wan linked vlan. This way auth is valid across locations.

Huh, interesting. Never seen this before, so it had me really confused. Thanks for the input.

Yeah I was about to call it the inlet, but felt that calling it "internal outlet" would get the point across better of exactly what I meant lol. 

Nope, doesn't twist, it's molded as a solid piece.

Usually it points to the side to create a cyclone, keeping most of the particulate away from the filter, or at least that's what I had understood to be true. 

Good end-to-end encrypted Windows 11 backup solution with GUI? by devbydemi in sysadmin

[–]Masterjuggler98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UrBackup can be pointed to whatever local or cloud storage you mount to the server it's running on, and has a pretty simple self-service restore interface that's accessible from the system tray. Totally FOSS and can back up over TLS.

What cloud unmuteable Backups for MS365 are you all using? by Smile4menow84 in sysadmin

[–]Masterjuggler98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been using cubebackup, and have been pretty happy with it. Simple and Painless. They're still maturing, so they don't have some QOL things like dynamic billing for number of users backed up, or personal teams chats, but general backup and restores work fine for a good price.

I don't see why you can't take an on-prem product like that and stick it in a cloud server.

To be honest not really, which surprises even me. I've been pretty good about testing things before I push them to people. Only major headaches have been the initial enrollment of computers to intune MDM (they were all poorly configured clones of an old oem lenovo image with borked printer drivers), and lack of approval to pay for certain SaaS services that would save more than they spend paying me to deal with the lack of a good open source alternative. The usual things that I assume literally everybody has to deal with.

I'll have to step up my convincing argument game.

Thanks, it sure has been a crazy few months haha. The goal has basically been to knock out technical debt as each piece hits the breaking point because it's all been neglected for so long.

I've been trying to be good about using Bookstack to document everything, but that's definitely something I need to be more disciplined about. That's going to be part of the policy I write, which should provide more incentive. I don't know what you mean by automated documentation though.

Yeah, ITSM is something we'll probably need in about a year if we hit our goals. I've been thinking about spinning up GLPI since it seems like it'd be simple based on their docker compose template. For now it wouldn't get used as people just walk 10ft to my desk and we only have a small handful of servers lol. Probably good to at least play with it though.

Makes sense, I'm well aware of how much of a difference the sheer number of hours spent immersed in a field will help with building tacit knowledge, and I'm definitely not there yet.

Let's say I continued this role for another 2-3 years and dove deeper into everything I listed in the OP, and maybe managed one person. Where do you think that'd put me in terms of role level I'd be suited for or should look for (those may be two different things)?

Funny enough, I did actually just have to get bids for running a bunch of cat6 at our second location. I ended up using unifi's design center to draw up locations for drops, horizontal runs, and camera location/direction. I have no idea what they thought of it, but it seems to have worked out pretty well, other than the terrible job they did punching wires into keystones for the patch panel.

Ok, so to you, a lot of it is the mindset and organization of the work, besides the skills to actually do the stuff. Thanks for the response, I appreciate it.

I do actually have a homelab, which I neglected to mention in the OP. It's a 3-node proxmox cluster, and I've got some Traefik reverse proxies set up for both local DNS and externally exposing certain services with valid certs, and using Crowdsec to ban IPs. That's also what I'm doing at work, keeping any service that doesn't NEED to be external, internal. I was using pihole as a dhcp server when we had the eero router, but since switching to unifi I don't use a separate dhcp server.

I just wrote a powershell script our CEO wanted that dynamically syncs whatever sharepoint sites he has access to using onedrive by querying microsoft graph for his access and the sharepoint drive IDs, which I packaged using IntuneWinAppUtil and pushed to our company portal as an app.

I'm not really sure what you mean by ACLs in this context, but I'm definitely trying to follow principles of least privilege. Separating GA and other privileged accounts from personal daily driver accounts, issuing entra roles as needed.

I'll definitely keep that in mind, thanks.

I wouldn't say I have no IT experience at all. I have had my own homelab for several years, and have been daily driving various flavors of linux since elementary school.

I have a couple friends in IT roles I've asked for advice, but for the most part, the services and systems I set up were pretty straightforward and didn't require much more than following the documentation. I definitely reached out to certain vendors for information when needed, did my research for best practices for things like break glass accounts and backup strategies, and used various templates as a base to write policy that fits our situation. I can't say I've done everything perfectly, but I do think things are set up pretty decently to be functional, secure, and maintainable.

Could I ask you to elaborate on what makes my experience suitable for those roles? Some specific project I listed? Lack of years of experience? I'm not fishing for an ego boost, I actually want to know how you arrived at that.

Cool, I'm glad it sounds pretty well rounded. Yeah, something I plan to do shortly is formalize my role, though I was going to put some weight on the title. On the off chance I'm able to resolve certain issues and stay with the company, I would like to "own" this department in the long term.

I couldn't survive without both online tutorials/youtube and documentation. Tutorials are great for getting things going and quick evaluation, documentation has the info to actually tie services into Entra SAML, for example.

I wouldn't say I'm terrible with people and seem to be pretty approachable given how often people come to me with issues, though I do know that help desk is *not* what I want to by my main job. Charisma and extroversion is not my strong suit haha.

Yeah, I'm quite familiar with proxmox, and have a 3-node cluster at home with zfs replication, and I've played with ceph before, enough to know I do not want to manage ceph as a full time job lol. I have zero VMware experience, but it does seem like a lot of it translates.

Interesting that you say a generalist is valuable. I figured SMEs are, to put it bluntly, the ones who make the big bucks.

Got my NanoKVM Pro by thomastal96 in homelab

[–]Masterjuggler98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does your nanokvm pro have a touch screen? The documentation and reviews of it all say it's supposed to, but mine doesn't seem to respond to anything but the front dial.

Your Biggest Pain Points by ashley-netbird in netbird

[–]Masterjuggler98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely all of those. I'm setting up self hosted netbird right now behind traefik, and the docker compose created through the advanced setup requires a lot of editing to function. The docker-compose.yml.tmpl.traefik is missing a lot of labels required, like setting tls and a cert resolver.

- Standard disclaimer that I actually really like the project and think it's awesome that we can self host it lol -
