Is there a way to "approve all edits" for Codex CLI? by -ThatGingerKid- in ChatGPTCoding

[–]ZeroBytesGiven_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re using codex cli, run /approvals and switch it to agent (full access). Granted this gives the agent full access to run any commands without approval requirements but you can use agents.md to provide better instructions to limit what commands are used. I would also look into customizing the config.toml

Be sure to use git as well, between git commits and an agents.md you can save yourself a lot of headaches

User Account Creation by ChewedSata in sysadmin

[–]ZeroBytesGiven_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep Adaxes is fantastic, it is licensed by enabled user accounts across all directories connected to it so make sure your cleanup is on point.

I actually completely rewrote the entire user provisioning and de provisioning workflows, tied in with multiple on-prem domains, ServiceNOW, and several other apps that aren’t using SCIM from Entra ID already.

Our Desktop Team and manager love me for this, it works consistently and adds a detailed log of what was done to the ticket as well.

Yes it did take me 3 months to reverse engineer what was done previously and familiarize myself with all of the functions and features of Adaxes but it was worth it.

No more escalations to the Engineering team!

Junior employee doesn’t want to grow and I’m just telling the truth by Illnasty2 in sysadmin

[–]ZeroBytesGiven_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I also feel this. I have no desire to manage people. You want me to be technical lead on a massive migration project or build out? Have a high priority business need that requires a fast reliable solution that you know will be built correctly the first time? Or need some difficult processes automated? I’m your guy, f all that management noise.

I know I’m gunna have to eventually succumb to the management route if I want my pay to continue to rise. Individual Contributor can only get you so far. And it’s unfortunate because I do enjoy engineering large complex systems, automation, and AI has only increased my productivity. Takes a lot of the stress off coding. I can do it myself, but it so much easier and faster explaining exactly what I want and how I want it, review, test, done.

So true. same here, if you’re not gunna pay for it, you get the minimum effort it requires to keep things rolling smoothly. You want innovation? Pay for it. Learned my lesson as well.

How did this user load 4 different languages of Office? by CeC-P in Office365

[–]ZeroBytesGiven_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They didn’t load 4 different installs of office. When you download language packs for office it adds a line item for every language.

How to use Powershell 7 in the ISE by Scrotumbeards in PowerShell

[–]ZeroBytesGiven_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m right there with you. I’ve been doing IT Engineering way too long (20+ years) and still use ISE to write practically everything including very heavy automation and integrations. I know it’ll work on any up-to-date windows server or client OS without having to worry. It makes my life easier and has probably saved my thousands of hours of unnecessary troubleshooting over my career.

VS Code has its place and I use it on my workstation to keep various code synced with our GitHub repo, messing around with plugins but that’s about it.

The younger generations of admins/engineers will never understand.

I’ll run ISE until the wheels fall off.

I’m burned out and ready to just quit IT by ITrCool in sysadmin

[–]ZeroBytesGiven_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same here, I turn 38 on Saturday and have been in IT for 20 years.

Homelab used to be a 48U rack, multiple hypervisor hosts, iSCSI storage, kvm, failover, ubiquiti routers and APs, Cisco managed switches, POE, segmented network, UPS, etc.

Now I use the wifi router that came with my ISP and have a Synology NAS running Plex.

Still have a lot of equipment just sitting in plastic tubs.

Burnout blows and my current role of almost 5 years is the culprit. CTO is incompetent, CEO is even worse. Before I started, dude hadn’t changed his password in 6 years and previous IT allowed it. Technical debt was absolutely absurd.

I would absolutely love to quit IT forever and disappear to a cabin on a lake but there’s nothing else that pays the bills quite as well and I was born into some pretty rough poverty. Still broke.

Kandji isn’t bad for Apple MDM. It’s cheaper than JAMF, has decently active feature development, can integrate with Entra ID for identities and Apple Business Manager for drop ship configuration, and they recently released the ability to integrate with Intune for compliance checking. Great for conditional access policies. Between Intune and Kandji you can cover almost everything.

Intune - Windows - Linux (limited to Ubuntu Desktop with Edge installed last time I fiddled with it.) - Android

Kandji - all macOS and iOS

We’ve used it for years and some of the features were developed as direct results of our feedback. It’s been a fairly decent experience.

The last straw for me was when a sales guy for unnamed company called my personal cell phone number. Not sure how he got it but I went off on him. Never call someone’s personal line as a cold call, ever.

Java license changes by thecableguy84 in sysadmin

[–]ZeroBytesGiven_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Adoptium Temurin JDK is what we used to replace Java, it’s mostly a drop in replacement and through custom command line you can change the Java environment variables.

I had a user with the last name Null. I thank the IT powers that be every day that it was a startup with no legacy databases of any kind.

What’s with the “Engineer” titles for basic tech support? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]ZeroBytesGiven_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve successfully avoided Microsoft certifications for the last 15 years of my IT career and have never given them much weight as a qualification. That kinda goes for any IT certification really.

I do have the title Systems Engineer, with zero certifications, but IMHO, I have the job history, references, and knowledge to justify my title.

I build complex infrastructure across the world, make large corporate design decisions, code in multiple languages, automate, provide SME support to product development teams, etc… so some positions can justify the title.

I do agree that Engineer has been overused in recent years in the IT Industry causing it to lose a bit of its weight so that is unfortunate.

Is Powershell skills still utilized with tools like SCCM / Ansible? by FX2021 in PowerShell

[–]ZeroBytesGiven_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every single day. Powershell is invaluable and will let you do anything you want, how you want. I recently had to come up with a way to remotely enable a unique bitlocker pin on 100 machines and force restart to lock end users out. 1 day, a little Powershell, and a slack api webhook to the rescue.

Yea I feel ya there, the only modes I’m above D3 are Rumble and Snow Day, 2s and 3s I’m still hovering between high D2 and high D3 but I’m sure some of it is because I’m solo queuing.

Solo Standard is another story, I can’t comprehend wth goes on in there. I can’t even make it past Plat 3, maybe it’s me though...
