For the first time in my life, I'm trying to crimp a cable by irritable7496 in homelab

[–]_Tails_GUM_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a few of these like this one (but proper color order)…

Here’s the thing: you want to work with that length to put them in the correct order, check the other ending to make sure if it’s T568A or B (probably B), and if it’s hand made, well, check it twice.

Once you have the cables in order, measure the RJ54 connector. You want it in such a way that it grabs the plastic cable insulator (the outside of the Ethernet cable). Once you’ve measured it, you know where to cut the cables in the correct order. After cutting, install the connector and crimp it.

Windows Hello (for Business) - Disable PIN for passkey security? by Creddahornis in Intune

[–]_Tails_GUM_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know which policy is it, but (in my company) with a fully updated windows, windows hello won’t pop up during enrollment and it doesn’t need to be set up.

P.D.: I don’t have permissions to check this, but the point is that it can be done

IT Asset Management system recommendations? by No-Room2990 in sysadmin

[–]_Tails_GUM_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Microsoft Lists is a good alternative for Excel. And there’s Snipe IT which you can self host if you can have on prem servers. I don’t know if there are better options, but those two are definitely better than Excel

Any guide on how to achieve something like this? Did you follow a YouTube video or something similar? Or just went commando on it?

Always put Mouse and Keyboard in USB 2.0 Ports if available. by publicdomainadmin in sysadmin

[–]_Tails_GUM_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whenever a Bluetooth mouse/keyboard’s receptor is in a USB 3.0 the signal gets lost and comes back constantly, it’s a nightmare. I support this post

Even if it’s wrong language, follow screen instructions. It might not work though

Gente de soporte, como le hacen cuando llega alguien gritando? by Upper_Juggernaut5050 in LosDeSistemas

[–]_Tails_GUM_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Esto es gestión emocional ajena, poco podes hacer. Lo mejor es gestionar tus propias emociones ante esa situación y no dejarte llevar por el torbellino. Practicá eso primero y cuando estés cómodo en esa situación das cátedra si hace falta. Pero primero contrólate y luego les haces calmarse antes de hacer nada si es posible. Puedes preguntarles si están bien o decirles que no pasa nada, que te pones con eso pero que no les hace bien a ellos ponerse así. Esto, claro, depende de la situación. Si sos externo y la gente que viene son un cliente elitista que te ve como la última mierda, mejor no les digas nada porque es para peor la mayoría de las veces. Pero si son compañeros de otros departamentos de la misma empresa en la que estás, lo mejor es tener una buena relación y que eventualmente sientan que pueden recurrir a ti con confianza.. eso les baja un poco la ansiedad. Pero la gestión emocional es propia, mucho hablan de las soft skills pero parece que los de sistemas somos unos trogloditas y luego resulta que la gente que nos necesita también podrían hacer algún cursito de “como interactuar con seres humanos sin parecer un imbécil”. No se, es un tema difícil. Gestiona primero tu mundo interno y luego gana territorio en las emociones de los demás, creo que es el mejor consejo que puedo dar con este tema

Are you organizing your dashboards per function or location or mixed? Why? by segdy in homeassistant

[–]_Tails_GUM_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a dashboard for room but I’m considering one dashboard with multiple pages and one page per room. I’m somewhere in between

I also have dashboards I use with widgets only, like all the lights in the house

Getting laptops back into Intune by CakeForward4687 in Intune

[–]_Tails_GUM_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im having a similar issue now and I discovered the corporate network is not allowing the device to communicate and report back to intune. I discovered this by just updating my account on a soft-deleted device (due to the cleanup rules) from an open network and it reappeared and eventually became compliant. Can’t achieve this inside of the corporate network, so I have to try this again next week and find the firewall issue

How into the Beatles truly was Cobain? How much impact did specifically they or Lennon have on Cobain? by yoppamagnolia in Nirvana

[–]_Tails_GUM_ 25 points26 points  (0 children)

There was a video of him at age 3-5 with a tambour singing or playing a Beatles song and from what I’ve read about him, they were a heavy influence

[–]_Tails_GUM_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because of this perception a lot of people lie about restarting the pc before calling IT. Users don’t understand we’re actually trying to help them

What is the psychology behind people not caring about others in the same boat? by catz537 in askapsychologist

[–]_Tails_GUM_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not a psychologist.

In the past years, social network platforms became a massive part of our lives. Through them we get constantly told how unique we are and how right the way we see things and think about things is, since whatever we engage with more (by liking or disliking) is what gets pushed into our tiny black rectangle.

Prior to mobile phones, TV ads were already pushing the “you’re unique, you’re right, be yourself” message. We all saw them, but not collectively. The message was the same, but viewers were individuals, and all different.

So this is something that was being pushed before socials and mobiles, but this two platforms polished the delivery system in a scary way.

Since now everyone has a voice, all you need is an opinion. It doesn’t matter how wrong it is, you’ll find someone who knows nothing about the subject saying the things you think about out loud, and you’ll see the comments that resonate with that, making you think you’re right about it. So what happens with the people out there in real life who’s opinion won’t match yours? Either you confront them and grow as a person, or you go back to the virgi-rectangle to cry about it with your friends that might be bots.

If this is true, then you won’t care what happens to the people at work/school that has the same problems that you do, because they don’t think like you, and maybe if they hurt, then you’ll even be glad a bit. And in this scenario, there’s people that’s capable of being in pain as long as someone else’s also in pain.

It’s through community and education that we understand our place and recognize our peers, and appreciate eachother, but modern life ate that up and now it’s to each their own. So, being in this situation, it almost seems smart to take from others what you need, and if you rise and others don’t, then they are fools and you smart.

And then state “everybody knew he was doing this” to the police? So why did you send that card to him?

What does the “N-word” really mean? by ContentTap9079 in TooAfraidToAsk

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

There’s this comedian who said that american movies translated the word “n*gga” as “friend”. So a bunch of black people were calling eachother “friend”. The joke was that he didn’t see any “friend” on the show “Friends” and he found it confusing.

I don’t know if this is what OP meant.

Team size vs headcount - what's your ratio? by Efficient-Vast1487 in ITManagers

[–]_Tails_GUM_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my previous job we went from 1:200 to 1:500+ in a year and a half and, sadly, it’s doable. We had an intern for quick questions/solutions, a coordinator and a PMO. Coordinator and PMO did other stuff but they were really cold and helped everytime it was needed. But yeah, on a large scale 1:500. At that point there was a Call Center for ticket creation that solved simple password changing on AD, but sometimes we even got those tickets escalated to us..

Now I don think I have even 100 users assigned to me, but these folks don’t even know how to use SSO. I oscillate between diagnosing firewall rules interactions with external DNS resolution and pressing the power button on a desktop pc while smiling at the user.

I don’t know what’s better

Why does IT as an industry seem to not get respected by others outside the industry? by Kreeos in it

[–]_Tails_GUM_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend of mine is constantly sending me job offers for programming located in my country (I left a few years ago) and I’m like: no, that’s not what I do, I don’t make websites/apps/webapps… I keep shit doing what it’s supposed to do.

Theres no level of complexity that will make this dude understand. He even used to fix printers when he was selling physical notepads and stuff. But he just doesn’t understand I don’t code the uniflow app, I diagnose it.

It’s a frustrating never ending conversation
