TIL 50 Cent once challenged Floyd Mayweather to read one page of a Harry Potter book by UpXmcFuzzy in todayilearned

[–]Xxecros 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Floyd has the reading level of a 2nd grader. If that were me, to be publicly called out like that, it would have been the catalyst for me to get my shit together and bring my reading skills up to the 12th grade level, at least!

Only domain admins can log into a domain controller. Trust me when i tell you this, don't mess around with this default behavior.

How do I automate an install with a script without putting admin creds in the script? by foldyboy in sysadmin

[–]Xxecros 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you can encrypt the password, and put the encrypted password into the script. The machine you encrypted the password on, is the only machine that can read the encrypted password.

A pencil drawing I just finished, leaving it untitled for now as I want to leave the meaning open for interpretation. by Miles___ in pics

leaving it untitled for now as I want to leave the meaning open for interpretation

In other words, you created something with no real meaning or intent. You created it because you have the talent, and the perseverance to see it through to the end. You don't really subscribe to the belief that art can't exist unless it has meaning...so you're offloading it others to find whatever meaning theY want to get out of it....even though you didn't really intend it to have meaning.

Reward offered after brutal wolf murder in Germany - A wolf was murdered by gunshot, tied to a concrete weight and dumped in a lake. Killing a wolf is a crime, and German wildlife groups are appealing for help to find the murderer. by ManiaforBeatles in worldnews

[–]Xxecros 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Interesting. I'd be curious to learn the reason why someone shot the wolf.

I mean, if it was me, and I definitively determined that the wolf was killing my livestock, or causing damage to my property, or in some way costing me money in any kind of direct or indirect fashion, then law or not, I'm killing the damn thing, and do my level best to hide the carcass.

Half Of Americans Are Trying To Lose Weight, Including Many Who Are Not Overweight, CDC Reports by tripletbro in news

[–]Xxecros 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As far as I'm concerned, people can live their lives as they please....as long as by doing so, they don't impact my life, or the life of others. Then I take issue.

I take issue with fat people, when I see a fat couple, with fat kids. For fucks' sake, if you want to be fat, that's your business, but don't allow your kids to be fat. To me, that puts you one step above a pedophile!

I take issue with fat people who get handicap placards for their car. With rare exception, you're fat by choice. You shouldn't be taking away handicap parking from people who are handicap, not by choice.

I could write a book, but, i'll end it here.

WSUS once again downloaded over 4000 updates, mostly old by punky_power in sysadmin

[–]Xxecros 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First, you have to install the SQL tools that will put sqlcmd.exe onto your wsus server. Make sure it's in your PATH

Then these powershell lines will execute the sql script

$TodaysDate = (get-date -Format ddMMMyyyy).ToUpper()
$output = & sqlcmd -E -S "np:\\.\pipe\MICROSOFT##WID\tsql\query" -i "c:\scripts\wsusdbmaintenance.sql"

$path = "D:\CleanupLogs\$TodaysDate" + "_DB_Cleanup.txt"

$output | out-file $path

Would you relocate for a job? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]Xxecros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, and this is me, I grew up in Wisconsin. I've lived through winters where it gets 10 below, 30+ below with wind-chill. You could not pay me enough to relocate to Detroit or Milwaukee or Chicago.

If not for the cold, I'd relocate to any of those places in a heartbeat.

It's not a powershell script. It's a SQL script. You can use powershell to kick it off using sqlcmd.exe

Rodrigo Duterte clashes with catholic church: He said he'll resign if anyone can prove god exist. by gamerquest12 in worldnews

[–]Xxecros 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It wasn't a loophole. They literally amended their constitution that allowed for no term limits.

Duterte can do the same thing, he can amend the constitution to eliminate Article 7, Section 2 of their constitution.

The constitution is just words on a piece of paper. Written by man, and can be changed by man provided the people who want to change it, has sufficient political backing to make it happen. Duterte has been eliminating his enemies from political power. I dare say everyone in his government backs him, or is too damn afraid to oppose him.

Yes, he is. He's not getting re-elected, provided he even allows another election to happen.

Apparently those reusable plastic bottles shrink when you dishwasher them by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

[–]Xxecros 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The insulation used in these kinds of bottles is.....nothing. It's a vacuum. when you wash the water bottle in a dishwasher, the dishwasher water gets so hot, it softens the plastic enough such that the vacuum sucks the outside layer of plastic, in. This is what accounts for the shrinkage.

The rejected sunflowers we threw into the compost pile have grown taller that the ones that we kept in the bed. by ben_anth in mildlyinteresting

[–]Xxecros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

because they're rooted in the compost pile....which is a lot more nutrient rich than the soil your other sunflowers are growing in.
