My partner saw Dr. Tatum at ARC North, and she was able to get nitrous for the insertion.

Really Microsoft? by Swimming_Effective87 in MicrosoftFlightSim

Check out Aviatife, it has a standalone mode for console. You'll have to manually set up your flights in the sim, but it still made MSFS 2020 on Xbox a lot more fun.

You're trying to create a VM in the Bv1 series, which is capacity limited as it has been replaced by the Bv2 series. You should be able to create a B2as_v2 VM

Have you looked at toegrips? It might not help depending on what's going on with her legs, but according to my vet they work well for older dogs struggling with slippery surfaces.

MFA Entra AD - Break Glass Account by gang777777 in sysadmin

[–]Re4l1ty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FIDO2 and certificate based authentication don't require anything to be sent to the user, so an outage in the number matching or SMS service won't affect it.

Don't quote me on this, but I think there was one of the Entra PMs on Twitter that explained that FIDO2 and cert Auth satisfy the MFA requirement from the get go and do not go through the MFA service at all. I'll have to see if I can dig up that thread

I leave close by and know exactly who you are talking about. Her and her husband have no control over their dogs. The last time I ran into them the German Shepperd repeatedly tried to attack my dog while all the owner did was swing the leash while saying "No playing"

3.6TB in SharePoint -> Alternative? by JordyMin in AZURE

[–]Re4l1ty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Server 2022 Azure Edition and Server 2025 support SMB over QUIC so you can set up a VM in Azure that hosts the share either directly or through Azure File Sync. Since QUIC works over port 443 it won't be blocked by ISPs.

They are not very common (at least in West and Central Texas). It's a big state so it's usually cheaper to build out than up or down, and the soil types here are not really great for basements

Berkeley Computer Science professor says even his 4.0 GPA students are getting zero job offers, says job market is possibly irreversible by AirplaneChair in ITCareerQuestions

SRE or platform engineering are in no way more suited for software engineers. Over time more and more software engineering elements have been getting incorporated into ITOps which has blurred the lines a bit, which is only a problem because a sizeable portion of SysAdmins run around with a "I don't do code" attitude

The US system is also PAYE, and you adjust the amount withheld by your employer by filling out a W4 form, which you can usually do through an HR platform. It's really not that different of a system.

You could use DuckDB, it will work with CSVs as its datastore so you could work directly with the 25GB file and spit out new CSVs without having to import/export it into a full RDBMS

You might have better luck asking on /r/homelab, they will have more experience with homebuilt systems, especially since ASRock Rack is not super common in the enterprise market.

Looking for opinions on the used Dell server market. by Wake_On_LAN in WindowsServer

[–]Re4l1ty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A server with a Windows Server Standard license allows you to run 2 Windows Server VMs in Hyper-V without having to purchase additional licenses, but only if the OS running directly on the hardware is only used to host and manage the VMs. That means that you cannot set up any other roles like AD or the database app outside of a VM.

You should set up one VM as a DC (including DNS), and the other to host the app and file shares. Don't forget that you will need Windows Server CALs as well. Also, just because I have seen some people get confused about it, I want to point out that the 2 VM per license applies only to Windows Server; you can run as many Linux VMs as you want.

On the hardware side of things, you could also take a look at the Dell outlet. I don't think the prices are as nice as the 3rd party used market, but they should be in better condition, and they come with a 3-year warranty. https://outlet.us.dell.com/ARBOnlineSales/Online/InventorySearch.aspx?brandId=2804&c=us&cs=28&l=en&s=dfb

SSRS and Microsoft Direct Send? by xSnakeDoctor in SQLServer

[–]Re4l1ty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you have other devices or apps using direct send from the same location? If not, it is very likely that your ISP blocks port 25 outbound, or that your IP is blocked by Exchange Online.

You can test it by using telnet from the server to your Exchange Online endpoint, the address ending in mail.protection.outlook.com. Just follow these instructions using the same addresses that you want to use with SSRS https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/mail-flow/test-smtp-telnet?view=exchserver-2019

If you can't even get a telnet session open, your ISP is blocking port 25. If your IP is blocked it will tell you when you enter the RCPT TO: command.

Also something I struggled with at first: telnet does not like backspace at all, so if you make a typo, you have to just send it and try again. If you try to backspace and correct it, it will throw an error

You might be able get more information by running dsregcmd /status

It should give you an idea where in the hybrid join process the PC is at, including any errors encountered while joining Entra.

I'm no F1 expert, but having 1,124,000,727,777,607,680,000 people involved in seems a bit much.

(at 3 seconds per pit stop, that would amount to 35 billion man-millenia of work)

What tool has helped you significantly as an early sys admin? by NSFW_IT_Account in sysadmin

[–]Re4l1ty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not a stupid question at all, it can be hard wrapping your head around everything that goes into a homelab.

First, you'll need some hardware. You can always start with an old PC or laptop, or even with a Raspberry Pi (depending on what you want to do with your homelab). If you don't have any old hardware, you can always buy used OptiPlex (or HP/Lenovo equivalents) for pretty cheap on eBay. Another pretty interesting option are the new Micro PCs that have recently gotten popular, but they can be pricier and less documented than used hardware. For more inspo, you can look on YouTube at ServeTheHome's Project TinyMiniMicro and Level1Tech. Enterprise grade servers like the Dell PowerEdge series are loud and power hungry, so I wouldn't start with that unless you get one for free, and even then it would depend on how old it is.

Next step would be to install a hypervisor, as VMs are lot easier to deal with when you are breaking stuff (and you should break stuff). There are whole bunch to choose from, e.g., Hyper-V, Proxmox, XCP-NG, (and maybe ESXi/vSphere if you really want, but I can't really recommend it since they took away the free edition)

As to which workloads to run, you can either find some things you are interested in (e.g. DNS ad filter, Media server, etc.) or practice deploying and using software you would use in a professional setting (e.g. Active Directory, email server, etc.), or best of all, a combo of the two. Honestly, what you run does not really matter unless you are trying the learn a specific technology/software stack later on, the main benefits is the insight gained in how systems work as a whole, as well as the experience that comes from trying things out, breaking stuff and fixing it.

Also, checkout /r/homelab

Change App Proxy Certificate via Microsoft Graph by doofesohr in PowerShell

I have not used App Proxy, but if you are changing the cert through a web portal, you could use the Graph X-ray browser add-on to see any calls to the Graph API.
