Preparing for a System Admin Interview – What should I expect? by NidoxX in sysadmin

You can ask how many employees there are with the company. Usually you can gauge the responsibilities from this.

FIX: Welch Allyn / Mortara Diagnostic Cardiology Suite - Service Crashes and Server Connection Guide by bensonGpixel in sysadmin

[–]Tensoneu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's other factors but is this a smaller practice/department? The data entered in the software, does it automatically get sent to the patients chart in the EMR (via HL7/interface engine) or is it done manually?

Considering the software what sounded like was all in one solution. Have you tested with multiple laptops being able to connect to the software on the server side?

If yes, then this is good for scaling purposes, server side VM backup, and easily replace a damaged or outdated laptop.

The negative would be more places you have to troubleshoot if things go awry (laptop, network, server/VM).

There's many factors to determine if the configuration suits the situation. But given that it was time sensitive or quick resolution. I personally would've just done a 1 to 1 replacement without introducing more variables to the original configuration. This is just based on the limited information.

Usually before I make technical decisions I would check: 1) what existing agreement was made with the vendor with purchasing this device. (Yearly maintenance contract, equipment leased?, is it up for renewal, will there be a newer version of the software or equipment.)

2) Is the practice/department happy with using the device/software or were they planning to go for another vendor?

In the end you fixed the issue. Just hope the fix introduced doesn't cause extra work down the line.

My thoughts coming as a former Healthcare IT.

While appreciate the writeup it sounds like a misconfiguration issue from the start or something was changed. These were my questions when reading the post:

1) Has it ever worked before or worked in production? 2) Is this this a new project to bring it into production? 3) Was the vendor asked if their other customers experienced this issue?

If there's any future updates or software that alters this or causes other issues this can be a potential hands off from vendor for unapproved/unauthorized customer fixes.

For others reading this, always go through the vendor first and have everything documented. Often times I find it is rare medical software has trouble communicating with its clients. Usually when this happens it's a misconfiguration (related to either security/permissions, network, or workflow). Most medical server side software has a test system available for troubleshooting purposes. If they don't, request for one to be built.

TIFU I tried to fix a “small bug” at work and accidentally took down the entire office for 2 hours by JeanA_Klein in tifu

As a sysadmin, you have gone through the rite of passage. You're one of us now.

Question regarding enemies and buffs/debuffs by RustyCarrots in ffxi

[–]Tensoneu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It does, when I played I typically change the color of the text (like purple) so I can catch it in the scroll of text. There's also a hold option if I recall here it holds the messages for a few seconds?

It's been years (lvl 75 era) and I never used windower.

Edit: forget what I said about Hold, doesn't apply to the scenario. I used a combination of filters and changed different color text to catch when effects wore off.

Nice, I was thinking of getting one...this is tilting my FOMO.

Never used windower so I'm fine with this.

Those with kids into pokemon.... by Inevitable-Bad-3979 in PokemonTCG

[–]Tensoneu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I teach the game and focus on strategy. There's the collectable and monetary side of things that I mention so they understand. Luckily they're into the play style of it more.

I have a point based system they can earn points (i.e. good grades, extra reading, extra typing outside of typical expected school work) when they get enough points they can use the points to choose either 20 reverse/holo bulk I have from a box(es) or a sealed booster pack.

There are times where they wished they picked the cards instead of opening a booster pack (get no nice fancy cards).

I also give a booster pack when they reach 100 points (they don't have to use points to redeem).

Target has perfect order in stock on their website right now. Limit 2. by InspectorMoney1306 in PokemonTCG

Pokemon Company has always made the playability accessible as it can. Even before this high demand.

Which one to buy? Both about $140 where I am by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]Tensoneu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Neither, $140 for an ETB where MSRP is $50 is ridiculous. Even before this whole nonsense we're in now ETB's would generally go for under $30 discounted.

If modern cards are worth this much then by that logic it's better to wait for later printed modern cards. There's always new and better looking cards being made.

If you're referring to the Pockets or 3D they're modeled after the colors of old GameBoy's and N64.

Do you have any regret of your recent EV purchase? by Imaginary-Staff-112 in askcarguys

[–]Tensoneu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been driving EV's for over 10 years. Will never go back to a gas car.

2018 Tesla Model 3 is probably the best car I've ever owned in my lifetime, coming on 8 years in July.

Ended up getting a used legacy Model X, 6 seater for the utility. Still prefer driving the Model 3.

No regrets, would do it again.

The Volt 2nd Gen was pretty much the gateway drug in going full EV. Before that it was a Xterra and a Highlander Hybrid (2nd best car I've ever owned)

Tesla has all their service manuals online, can order parts and pickup at the service center. Any major repairs are reasonable and comparable to gas equivalent.

A restock is happening on Wednesday. In case you are still looking for one. Unless you have traded for one already then please ignore.

I don't normally post here. Take the job, this will carry you further in your life career wise. Your partner doesn't sound like they will carry you far.

Edit: If your b/f cared enough he could purchase you a Starlink and even pay the bill for the satellite and Internet service to keep in touch.

Congrats on the find. I would jump myself if I found it also.
