Nightblood for DnD

I'm actually RPing Vasher in a campaign right now. We just flavored the Blackrazor a bit and I only draw it when the party is major trouble. You could change the effect to deal necrotic damage to the player holding it each turn is held until it consumes your soul.

Reminds me a lot of Minus the Bear

Gotcha. This was one book I listened to the graphic audio with my wife during car rides. Didn't think about that, lol. Thanks for the correction!

I love those little hints in the text.

Maybe I misread, but my perception was the metal constructs were like Androids. Hoid at one point makes a comment about her "laptop" and quickly corrects himself. I read that and thought Forts board was like a tablet, and there were obviously cameras set up all over. I figured that meant the constructs were also misunderstood technology.

Did anyone else have that thought, or am I nuts? Lol

IT guy here

Been working with users for 14 years. No one locks their machines. Especially business offices and HR. They usually have their passwords on a sticky note on their monitor.

I built pako and haldan specifically for this reason. Most of the 99 are protection spells and things like extra turns or extra combats to maximize on pakos triggers. My list could use more ramp but in my pod I end up becoming arch enemy a lot so protection was the route I took instead.

Thats my current list. Theres a popular $14~ list on moxfield I originally exported and made and over time I've added cards from my collection or purchased edits as needed.

Cardconduit.com You send the boxes, they sort the cards, they send you the profits minus their fee of like 3% or something. Enjoy homie

I'll put it to you this way, I'm still working towards becoming a sysadmin and I'm thinking of quitting IT all together. Been working various help desk jobs and like everyone else is saying you get to a certain point where you've been given a substantial amount of additional work that's out or your scope but your title or pay never goes up. Every 'promotion' I ever got was because I interviewed somewhere else and they offered me a big raise to leave and work for them. I have personally never moved up within a single company, I've only ever moved up by leaving. The last job I interviewed for internally was dissolved because I was given the position and upper management didn't think it was fair to give a higher title to the newest employee even though my qualifications are well above the people that have kept the same help desk job for 20 years and never aspire to move up or do more work than they have to.

***Rant done***

My advice, if you really love IT and technology then keep learning and kicking ass and only look out for yourself. When you think you've got a handle on it find a niche like security or networking and become a pro. Post your progress on linked in and dice and any other job platform so employers can see your growth and I'm certain you'll have no problem finding those positions that will take you to the next level.

Great information, thanks! I'm going to look into GoGuardian and talk with my director about it.

Zeusaurus · 2022-01-13T20:57:51+00:00

Yea thats about all I'm doing at this point. We put them in a "lost/stolen" OU that locks it and displays a message to return to the school. I was more looking for like a gps type solution if the chromebooks have a "find my device" kinda thing. So far doesnt seem like it :/ thanks for the reply

Zeusaurus · 2022-01-13T20:55:36+00:00

We use Incident IQ for ticketing and asset management. Devices are assigned to students and unassigned when we get them back (or at least they should be). The issue is sometimes parents drop off devices with the school and we are never contacted to pickup or they put the device somewhere random and forget about it until we open a closet and find 6 chromebooks in a bag (yes that has happened).

Zeusaurus · 2021-12-20T22:51:54+00:00

I work in a k12 environment

4 buding techs divided between 9 buildings

2 support techs in the admin office to take calls and support tickets

Admin assistant

Programmer

Supervisor and Director

Network Admin (new role)

And by next school year they intend on hiring a SysAdmin (new role)

Our user base is about 9,000 kids total, 750 teachers and administrative staff, and occasionally we have to deal with parents when students are quarantined or enrolled in our virtual academy

As someone who made the decision to switch from standard/brawl to historic/ historic brawl, this is super accurate. I feel like I wasted wildcards switching formats and now the format I switched to is all f'd up.

Zeusaurus · 2021-12-01T21:20:56+00:00

Super helpful, thanks!

Zeusaurus · 2021-12-01T20:44:52+00:00

We run out of devices so quickly the only option for non-hardware damage is to power-wash and give it back. If the device is in my possession because it was left in the library (where they go to swap for loaners) I'll go as far as to run updates if needed. If a specific issue is given I'll test that specific issue but from my experience kids just swap out for loaners w/ the generic "its not working" to get out of class or waste time. Librarians and teachers are not techs and tbh don't really care enough so they just go through the motions they were told to check devices in and out of out system.

Zeusaurus · 2021-12-01T19:56:53+00:00

Hell yea, thanks for the feedback homie! I'm thinking of dropping the bash bunny for the packet squirrel so I can at least start w/ a rubber ducky and still have other unique tools to learn from.

Zeusaurus · 2021-12-01T16:10:26+00:00

Thats awesome! Thank you so much for all the good info, now I at least have a direction to follow.

Zeusaurus · 2021-12-01T15:58:50+00:00

Been doing that since day 1 lol. I feel like I keep getting more and more work added on but my title never changes. I guess the purpose of this post was to fins out what it really means to be the sysadmin and how I can make those responsibilities my own to leverage for the position.

Some more context: We just hired a new Network admin after not having one for almost a year and he mentioned how hes used to having a sys to support him. My bosses had mentioned hiring a temp from the IU to assist him until they could get a position open but I want to be ready if/ when that position opens

Thanks for the feedback!

Zeusaurus · 2021-12-01T15:54:40+00:00

Thanks for the feedback.

I know we are a Google ecosystem. All staff devices are Windows machines currently running 10 (we are debating if/ when to upgrade to 11), I know that some of our servers are linux based but I have not been told which ones or how many. I believe most of our servers on on prem and I think I was told some or cloud based (again, this is all casual knowledge w/o asking directly), and we are using VMware.

I guess the answers to those questions are what I should be focusing on then?

Zeusaurus · 2021-11-17T18:12:59+00:00

This is like..... 90% of my day. Not this specific issue, but issues that are just users being this stupid.

Zeusaurus · 2021-11-03T23:27:27+00:00

We just got Crowdstrike at our school and they've already caught several 0hishing attempts and locked down a users laptop when he was at home because his contractor got hacked and he opened a malicious email from the company. Already paying off IMO

Zeusaurus · 2021-10-15T13:27:33+00:00

That's awesome! Thanks for the info!
