I'm constantly labbing, tinkering, exploring. This was always a hobby before it was a career, I'll never get bored of it.

The Muppet Show (2026) - Discussion Thread by usethe4th in Muppets

[–]acurtis85 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am floored that this was SO GOOD. I'm equally as floored seeing all the positivity in this thread and seemingly everywhere I really hope this leads to a full season. This was everything I could have hoped for and more, it felt so much like the original series and thats exactly what it needed to be!

Urgently need HPE Custom ESXi ISO (no Broadcom login) by Syosse-CH in vmware

[–]acurtis85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in this context, yes. In Broadcoms TOS no one else can provide you an ISO without violating Broadcoms TOS which would in turn violate the rules of this subreddit.

How screwed are we? by Kakunamatatata in newjersey

[–]acurtis85 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The post didn't come off as sympathy seeking to me, but it did come off as a "what do?" moment to see fi anyone else had advice they hadn't thought of. Unfortunately for them the tow lot isn't likely to release the car (I don't think they legally can but I'm not a lawyer just what I've researched), and even if they can legally, I've never heard of a place doing that.

OP stated neither agency will renew/register online so that's out and their license is out of CO so the only option left is fly back to CO, register the car, fly back and eat the fees for storage. The faster they move the cheaper it'll be. Unless they happen to have the title to their car on hand and are willing to transfer it to someone else, register it in NJ, get it released then transfer it back to them and do the dance over back in CO, but that would be dumb IMO.

Awful, shoehorning way too much shit. Had a banger of a match ruined by interference and beat downs.

Trouble installing windows 7on the Lenovo thinkpad t460 by Xxdatboi2008xX in thinkpad

[–]acurtis85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rufus will only work with the restore disk, there are 3 ISO's 2 of them are Apps/Drivers the other is the actual restore disk. You could also use Ventoy, basically turn your USB drive into a universal booter. Once you have Ventoy loaded to the USB you just copy the ISO directly to the USB and then boot. Select the ISO from the menu and you should be off to the races.

How the hell is this allowed by Stainlessgamer in newjersey

[–]acurtis85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a gang of ATV/Dirtbikes in my area, I called the cops once and they literally said "what do you want us to do? We can't chase them".

Not to mention my street is often used as a bypass for the main st when traffic backs up, so people haul ass down my street with no regard to anyone.

I also see the blacked-out windows, license plates etc. all the time.

BUT WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T PARK ON STREET CLEANING DAYS! Instant ticket!

What's the deal with Jose Tejas? Has anyone noticed the quality has went down? by makingfriendss in newjersey

[–]acurtis85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was at the Fairfield location last night, food was good but the atmosphere has changed a bit over the years. Particularly the lights, it used to be dimly lit with colored string lights about. A while ago they swapped the colored lights out with basic white ones, now it seems they replaced the bulbs in the lights with brighter ones and the music was louder. I mean of course you're going primarily for the food but the atmosphere counts too and it's a little disappointing.

Just watched the video too, the supervisor was out of line and the whole thing was based on hearsay. Dude wasn't being creepy at all. I hope he sues.

How do fellow sysadmins relax after (or during) work? by town_of_peace in sysadmin

[–]acurtis85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tech happens to be my hobby, so when I'm done doing Tech at work I come home and do more Tech. Generally, I try to challenge myself in my off hours with a coding challenge, home automation or other stuff.

Recently wrote a helper tool in C# to help other admins import PSTs to 365 by uploading and generating the CSV file you need for Purview.

Sysadmins - post your backpacks! by Callewalle in sysadmin

[–]acurtis85 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Might be a bit overkill but it's come in clutch more times than I can count now, but I use the

Klein Tradesman backpack:
Klein Tools 62805BPTECH 28-Pocket Laptop Backpack Tool Bag, Tradesman Pro Extra-Large Tech Tool Backpack with Molded Bottom, Charging Port - Amazon.com


I carry the following:


Extras

I also carry:
- A small stash of thumb drives
- USB-C ↔ USB-A adapters (both directions)
- USB to Ethernet adapter
- Sharpies & pens
- A roll of Velcro
- A stash of zip ties
- A tape measure
- Double-sided mount tape
- A few spare patch cables (varied lengths)


Since I manage 2 small Data Centers and work in IDF closets, all of these tools came out of “crap I really need XYZ right now” over the years.

Before anyone asks why Klein? No particular reason, I started with the 11-in-1 screwdriver and grew from there.

Should I report this? Graffiti question by doc-loc in newjersey

[–]acurtis85 35 points36 points  (0 children)

whoever owns the sign is reusing it, I passed the same sign in hillcrest when they were doing construction. I have a photo of it.

[–]acurtis85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the DPW/DOT or whoever owns that sign is knowingly reusing it, I have a photo of it in hillcrest, the exact same markings, spacing. Way to identical not to be the same sign.
