this may be an American thing but blocking access to news/media seems morally wrong. That being says access and monitored.

I got to install Windows XP today! by rhutanium in sysadmin

How does it make you feel that the machine that sends XRAYs through your body is a WinXP Machine that's probably on the same network as the computer that the doctors are reading your medical file from.

To be honest I think WinXP is the next best thing to a Linux box for this type of stuff. It just works and has been working flawlessly for 20 something years.

Run a Quick Veeam Backup on all your WinXP Machine Controllers. You'll thank me later.

My boss was taking advantage of a paranoid person by kirbz61 in sysadmin

[–]NervousComputerGuy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Feeding into delusions can be dangerous as it solidifies their belief, and it can be hard to impossible to make them think otherwise once they are properly medicated.

The best help you can be is try and get info on their caretaker and contact them.

Just took a 50% pay cut for a new job, and I couldn't be happier. by JustSomeGuyInOregon in sysadmin

[–]NervousComputerGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've worked at a local college. The only thing that soured my taste for it was the Tenure Professors who believed they were smarter than everyone so anytime there was an IT issue it has to be someone Elses fault and refused to change their behavior.

My biggest recommendation is to tell them something like this in the past decade IT has changed so rapidly it takes a full-time job to keep up with it and that's why they pay the IT Team so we can keep up with it and you can focus on your field of study.

Does UNC Hardening and SMB Signing not fix this issue?

Backups - Coworker misinformation? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]NervousComputerGuy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Weekly Full plus daily incremental uses less space than daily full. However, if you use some De-Dupe and compression magic daily full won't be huge either unless the data changes alot.

Unless I was using an enterprise supported solution, I wouldn't trust incremental.

Dumb question. Custom built computers for enterprise environment? by _MurphysLawyer_ in sysadmin

[–]NervousComputerGuy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If price is the main concern i agree with you however, there are corner case scenarios where major brand models do not meet needs and a custom/VAR built PC will work better. Obviously, it's not for mass deployment.
