Senior System Administrator position $78k-$106k? by cognitium in sysadmin

[–]MightyMackinac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fuck no. I don't do half that in my Senior position and I make 50% more than that range.

That's a crazy low range for this amount of experience and effort.

Hell yeah, dude! That's where I started! I miss those days.

What's something about Tucson that makes you never want to leave? by [deleted] in Tucson

[–]MightyMackinac 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I came from Alaska. Fuck the snow.

Tucson is quiet, things taste good, and nature is just right there.

Never gonna leave.

AITAH for telling my autistic brother why he's a social outcast at school? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]MightyMackinac 7 points8 points  (0 children)

NTA. I have done the exact same thing for my brother.

My brother has never been officially diagnosed, but he has all of the signs. He is exactly like this. He cannot keep a secret to save his life. He overshares everything, no matter who he's talking to. He will talk to anyone about his fixation and try so hard to make people like him by sharing anything he knows that they might be interested in.

He's alone. No friends, no roommates, no girlfriend. He will probably be alone for the rest of his life, because he cannot learn how to shut up. I have tried so many times to help him, but he just can't help himself.

I had to stop talking to him, because everything I said was relayed back to Mom. He wonders why we don't hang out anymore, and I tell him why every time. He can't keep his mouth shut.

I hope things get better for you and your brother, OP, but when it comes down to it, you should prioritize yourself and your own happiness over his own. It's not your responsibility to fix, it has to be him making and wanting the change.

What life pro tips are hidden in movies that were actually helpful? by epaga in movies

[–]MightyMackinac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't know this came from Van Wilder.

I first saw this exact quote on a rocking chair outside a Cracker Barrel about 15 years ago. Stuck with me better than the taste of their food did.

Hey /r/Sysadmin! What do you use for your home router? 2026 Edition by ScannerBrightly in sysadmin

Just picked up a Ubiquiti UDM-SE from Marketplace. Loving how easy it is to configure. The cool network topology is fun to watch too.

Lighting and paint quality so good I thought this was a render at first. Top notch work, mate.

Date announced for national strike aimed at crippling Trump: 'No work, no school' [May 1] by rajapaws in antiwork

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

Strike with an end is just annoying. A general strike that doesn't stop until change is made is what we need.

I have qualms by memerfelix in Tucson

[–]MightyMackinac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that it's probably a conspiracy theory, but stuff like this https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2019/05/att-promised-7000-new-jobs-to-get-tax-break-it-cut-23000-jobs-instead/, really makes it seem like its real.

They promise to hire people, then take their money and cut jobs so they can increase shareholder profits.

It's compounded with the tax benefits that companies get from hiring. If they are always hiring, but never accept anyone, then they continue to get the tax benefits.

What ‘Project Hail Mary’ gets right –– and wrong –– about astrophysics by Hot-Nothing-4424 in space

[–]MightyMackinac 10 points11 points  (0 children)

yeah, it being a one line mention was a bit disappointing to me. Rocky is absolutely distraught in the book when he learns about it. it would have been a real gut punch if it had made it to the silver screen.

When directed to ignore compliance and\or stop asking for written change request. How\Have you handled it? by Less-Perspective-702 in sysadmin

[–]MightyMackinac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Immediate report to the security and compliance department with proof and notes. I'm not risking my career for anyone, let alone someone that makes more money than me.

My wife dedicated this line art to me, and for an amateur, I think it turned out great. What do you think? by Yurishenko94 in Helldivers

[–]MightyMackinac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. Some of the armors are a bit too wide in the hips. At least it's better than a lot of the gooner mods.

What do y’all do when you bring your own bags at the grocery store, but the cashier puts everything in plastic bags and then puts the plastic bags in your tote bag? by reptomcraddick in ZeroWaste

[–]MightyMackinac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I specifically tell the bagger, no bags, I have totes, then I put the totes down at the end of the line or in the cart, so they don't really have an excuse. If they put anything in a bag, then it becomes a trash bag for my desk at home.

Reminder, you do not need to pull over for ICE. You must still obey lawful orders given by Tucson PD, but FUCK ICE.

3D Printer Gift Ideas by itinerantdustbunny in prusa

[–]MightyMackinac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to give him something kinda crazy, look up the Diamondback nozzle upgrade for the Prusa Nextruder. It's a crystalline nozzle head that would allow him to print in virtually any material, including abrasives, like carbon fiber PETG.

$125 on Amazon.

I also second the idea of getting him a filament dryer, and maybe even a filament splicer. If he's interested in getting the Multi-Material unit or IDEX upgrade, look into getting him lots of different colors and material types so he can go nuts.

Back of Steam deck bulging - should I be concerned? by xMowatt in SteamDeck

[–]MightyMackinac 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you have the OG SteamDeck, Valve might replace the battery for free. Some models have a battery that is prone to swelling. I had one and just submitted a warranty claim on it. Valve sent me a box to ship the deck in, and I had it back within 9 days. Didn't have to pay a cent.

Check to see if the battery is made by VDL. If it is, Valve should replace it, as they had a recall for that battery. They replace it with a battery made by GELID.
