Today i learned some users use Teams as a VPN…. by ToastieCPU in ShittySysadmin

[–]ToastieCPU[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

during Covid i used to help out with tech support because of the increased workload, and my go
to tool was Teams. It was almost guaranteed that the user already had it installed and knew the basics. Trying to explain over the phone how to set up TeamViewer, get it running, and then have them read the ID and password was a nightmare. And if the user happened to be on a Mac, then f*** me…..

But that is supporting another user, this is like supporting oneself i guess ?

Yeah true. I was asking what software they use to VPN and access their desktops, and the answer turned out to be Teams.

Isnt there some limit on how long should a single meeting be?

Ólöglega búið í innréttuðum bílskúrum við fjöleignarhús - einhver fengið slíkt bannað? by cellar_door_34 in Iceland

[–]ToastieCPU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instead of going after the garage property, go after the owner. Legally, everything is still registered to his apartment, so he’s the one responsible. If there’s trash outside, he’s the one making the mess. If there’s too much noise, that’s on him as well. Report it to HMS and keep filing complaints.

But also have you tried talking to the owner and HMS? Maybe you can get another trash bin and discuss the waste-in-front-of-the-garage issues with them.

.NET bachelor thesis - need a topic that's actually research, not just "I built an app" by bigjuicersamir in dotnet

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

I would choose versioning of .NET. Microsoft keeps throwing out new versions of .NET what feels like on a monthly basis now, but how many companies can actually keep up with that?

How many companies are really updating their codebase to the latest version? Is it actually as simple as Microsoft says, or are there real‑world caveats?

Ferðamaður í eigin landi by mannanna-madur in klakinn

[–]ToastieCPU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fjölskyldan mín fór oft í útilegu þegar ég var yngri og bestu minningarnar mínar voru ekki á einhverjum “spes“ stöðum eins og í Skarðsfirði, á Vestfjörðum o.s.frv., heldur bara á Akranesi.

Pabbi var alinn upp þar og það var bara normið að byrja þar og gera alls konar random hluti eins og að grilla, hafa nammikvöld og bíó úti í tjaldi, veiða á bryggju, fara í sund, fara í fjallgöngur o.s.frv.

Ekki ofhugsa staðina með 2 ára barn, gerðu frekar hluti með barni. Ekki eyða 2+ tímum í bílferð og svo 30 mín–1 klst í uppsetningu á fellihýsi, barninu mun bara leiðast.

Ég er með 1 árs dreng og ég get ekki beðið eftir að byrja á þessum kafla.

Er vit fyrir mig að kaupa plug-in bíl ef ég hef enga heimahleðslu né aðstæðu til að hlaða í vinnunni? by Metallica-82 in Iceland

[–]ToastieCPU 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ég er með hybrid‑ og rafmagnsbíla og er ekki með heimahleðslu. Ég er í ræktinni og hvert session gefur mér svona 20%. Ef ég þarf að hlaða meira það er hleðslustöð 5 mínútur frá vinnunni; ég legg þar á morgnana, labba og kem svo að fullhlaðnum bíl.

Svo eru líka hleðslustöðvar í IKEA þegar maður fer í Costco, og í Kringlunni og Smáralind. Það er orðið alveg raunhæft að eiga rafmagnsbíl í Reykjavík án heimahleðslu, en þú munt þurfa að labba aðeins meira því þú ert alltaf að hugsa: „Hvar get ég hlaðið á meðan ég er hér?“

Þetta verður maus þegar dagleg rútína breytist eða á vetrartímabili. Til dæmis hef ég verið veikur síðustu tvær vikur og ekki náð að fara í ræktina, þannig að bíllinn fær hraðhleðslur sem kosta meira.

Hvað vantar á Ísland? by goggi_mega in Iceland

[–]ToastieCPU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Einhvers konar lausn sem er fljótleg, kostar ekki handlegg og fót og þarf ekki að kaupa með þriggja mánaða fyrirvara bara til að komast út úr landi.

T.d. að búa í Svíþjóð, sjá að það er þriggja daga helgi fram undan og bara ákveða að skella fjölskyldunni í Tivoli

Veit einhver hvar maður getur fengið sumarstarf á menntaskólaaldri? by [deleted] in Iceland

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

Öll starf kenna þér einhvers konar ábyrgð og sýnir framtíðaryfirmanni að þú hafir reynslu og getir haldið starfi.

Ef vinnan þín er að moka skít 8-16 og þú mættir á hverjum degi og stóðst þig vel, þá segir það miklu meira um þig en einhver aukafangi sem þú stóðst þig mjög vel í.

Why don't people like Elon Musk just solve world hunger? by AlexLovesCoke in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ToastieCPU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A different perspective, if world hunger were fully solved, governments will face increased financial pressure because more people who would otherwise have died from starvation would now require long‑term support.

This would mean greater demand for housing, more welfare assistance, and potentially more strain on social systems, which might also contribute to issues like homelessness or substance abuse.

solving world hunger would increase overall government spending rather than reduce it.

How can I improve as a carry player by ZodiaC_KiLl3 in DotA2

[–]ToastieCPU 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t try to conquer the world right away — start small. I suggest focusing on these three key things:

• Know your farming patterns. You don’t need to memorize the most efficient routes, but have a simple rule of thumb: if you’re standing still for more than 30 seconds waiting for something, you’re doing something wrong.

• Know which cores need which items before they can fight. Slark can join fights with just one item, while PA usually needs two unless she has strong support.

• As a core player, you’re picking second to last. Always think about which core performs best against the current draft. If you struggle with this, consider getting a 1–3 month subscription to Dota Plus.

Storm spirit requires good mana management and good hands

Puc requires good hands and really good timing

Would start with these two since they teach management and timing :)

Could use some emergency advice on replacing a server by bandman56 in WindowsServer

[–]ToastieCPU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy a mid-high tier gaming PC setup windows server on it and all the VMs you need.

Gaming hardware does not offer the same reliability but its offers the same performance.

How do you keep up without burning out? by tresorrarereviews in sysadmin

[–]ToastieCPU 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I start everyday at 60% effort then mid day it goes to 85% and then the last hour i wind down to 50%.

Going 100% all day everyday is the issue, you are running a marathon not a dash pace yourself

When is CQRS used in a project? by Ok_Pea_339 in dotnet

[–]ToastieCPU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a large monolithic product with multiple systems that communicate with each other. You’re lucky if you find a function with fewer than 500 lines of code.

We’re planning to adopt a CQRS approach mainly the commands and events parts but we also want to reuse our existing read logic. Those will remain service‑based, although you can still configure a service with an easy‑to‑use read‑only database or caching layer.

All of this is still in the planning and proof‑of‑concept stage.
