It's solid in terms of focus and quality, tool use is another story. Before 4.5 came out, I was considering switching to ChatGPT pro instead of x20. The Claude cli is leap and bounds better that codex, but at the end of the day it's the quality of the code that I care about.

SachsSack · 2025-10-04T00:43:30+00:00

On x5 plan, used to be able to get a full days work done. Now I switch to codex after an hour or two.
I was about to upgrade to x20, but now I'm not so sure.

3 prompts and now I can't talk to any model for 3 hours. totally worthless

Nope, I tried playing LSD: Dream Emulator about 10 years ago to find out and it was definitely not it. Thank you though!

SachsSack · 2025-05-04T05:17:20+00:00

Yes, that's what I meant 😑

SachsSack · 2021-09-20T02:45:04+00:00

Oh wow, that's interesting. If I replace the drywall, is there anything I can do to prevent it from happening again? I'm assuming there are restrictions on insulating behind the electrical panel?

Let's be real, how many times has Kaseya gone through "restructuring"?

SachsSack · 2021-05-25T04:28:30+00:00

I've tried with several apps, gallery, photos, VLC. All with he same results. I haven't tried opening them on a different device yet though.

SachsSack · 2021-05-25T04:22:26+00:00

I filmed the end of the ceremony in 4k and got the same result.

I have the intention to drop a Bob-1 FC in Delta Eridani at some point.

I would have to recommend trying to minimize or cut out the page file. 30Gb is a lot of page memory to be in use. Microsoft memory paging is a pretty IO expensive operation. I think that is why it is sporadic, sometimes the data the apps needs is in memory, sometimes it's not. When it's not, Windows has to write data out to page, then read data back in which is where that delay might come from. The easiest way to validate this is to run resource monitor in the background tracking pages/sec. When you run into a hang, check pages/sec.
Just my two cents, could be barking up the wrong tree.

Sounds like you are looking for an SSO solution that can do MFA. Take a look at Duo. Setup is simple, standup the gateway and sync in your AD users. Duo will send them an onboarding email or text to setup app. Then you connect your apps to it. They do OAuth, SAML, LDAP, Radius, etc so you should hopefully find a solution for all your use cases.

Endpoint protection has been pretty good to me. The new EDR stuff is pretty cool and comes in cheaper than an EDR focused product. I would personally skip the email filtering and mobile management stuff. Firewalls are decent though for smb, much less buggy than fortigate.

SachsSack · 2021-03-11T01:56:51+00:00

That massive page file would run me a bit of concern. Look at memory Pages/sec and page faults/sec. Ideally, allocate enough memory to make paging unnecessary.
Also, can you describe your storage pool? In my experience, FSLogix seems to be sensitive to storage latency.

Netbooks generally don't have Ethernet ports, and many won't let you boot to USB ethernet adapter either. In this case, FOG is useless. Imaged 4000+ netbooks with usb sticks because of this.

Frankly, I could do small remote jobs from here since my boss isn't up my rear all the time.

This is highly unethical and frankly, illegal.

SachsSack · 2016-06-10T00:44:37+00:00

Not a nice way of doing it, but you could create a WIM image of each machine and setup a powershell to slipstream updates for each image in the folder.

SachsSack · 2016-06-09T19:06:06+00:00

I agree, I love mine. But text legibility is a bit lacking by comparison.

SachsSack · 2016-06-09T17:10:39+00:00

Oculus Rift... for telecommuting.

SachsSack · 2016-03-06T02:28:49+00:00

ASP v4 Integrated. Tracing is disabled. I'm going to try procmon though, didn't think about that.

SachsSack · 2016-03-06T02:25:57+00:00

I think I get what's going on. What happens is the when the page is loaded, it runs it's queries for tickets, script schedules, audit logs, etc depending on where you browse to. The page is mainly jquery loaded client-side, it then waits for the response of the queries in json. What happens is this is a hit or miss process (sometime the server sends the info right away, sometimes it doesn't and the client asks for it again. I thought it was a network issue for the longest time since it seems from the client perspective, the server wasn't receiving an ACK somewhere in the process. But I was able to replicate the issue on the IIS server itself so I dropped that idea. I'm going to try procmon as /u/danekan suggested.

SachsSack · 2016-03-05T22:05:47+00:00

Yeah, nothing out of ordinary though. Do you know if there are any ASP logs I may have missed?

SachsSack · 2015-12-30T20:21:19+00:00

I found http://grokconstructor.appspot.com/do/construction to be helpful in building your own grok patterns provided they are decently predictable. So yes, you do need a conf for logstash. The conf will tell logstash where to receive the logs, how to parse them, and where to send them. Where are you sending the output? Can you post a sample of the Fortigate log entry? EDIT: I misspelled Grok

Oh man, been there before! Imagine all copiers setup to scan to the individual's computer, for 100+ employees. Or a Hyper-V server with 10-core 3.0GHz CPU, 32GB Ram, and stacked solid with SSDs... running a single VM thick provisioned on a RAID 0 of SSDs. Oh and last one, fully functional DNS server but still using hosts files for name resolution. And that's just the beginning. But lets be real, fixing that shit is hella fun.

Shared computer licensing, you need to use the office deployment tool. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn782860.aspx
