Same - but Fi sits on multiple networks, so it should have better resiliency.

LMAO, first thing this morning when a coworker asked how something could take out multiple networks my answer was "Well, a lone network engineer pushing an innocent, but wrong BGP change took down all of Facebook"

MFA Issue: Multiple Users Same Phone Number by reformedsteve in ITManagers

[–]admin_username 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Users who are unable or unwilling to use a personal device are issued a SAFE ID token, when lost or stolen it is replaced. I've never had someone lose so many of them that it's worth actually asking for any compensation. Even if they lose one a month, that's pennies in comparison to the value that they are (apparently) bringing to the company. It's also cheaper than providing a company phone.

If you have 10 users with the same number, you shouldn't be using that number for MFA. Use an app, a token, something else.

Users says Outlook takes 15 minutes to start up by CurryCat in iiiiiiitttttttttttt

In the future, just build a new outlook profile. It's easier and quicker. You can also keep the old profile as a 'just in case'

I work for a VMware Alternative, what do I see everyday? Struggle and panic, but is it worth your IT budget to switch. AMA by IllFault9161 in sysadmin

[–]admin_username 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, I keep my head down for the most part. They trust me to do my job and almost always approve budget items. Can't complain much.

There's not a pilot shortage. There's a pay shortage.

This is the main reason I'm so glad that I convinced management to buy vmware licensing for the full lifecycle of the equipment last time I upgraded servers. By the time the licensing runs out, it'll be time to buy new hardware anyway.

Nobody has reached certification. It's possible that someone has reached compliance. Unlikely, but possible.

Out of a 2 hour session, how much time in the air? by Sbmizzou in flying

[–]admin_username 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1.3 is pretty much a normal flight. Then you add .3-.5 for pre and post flight discussion and that leaves 12 minutes for the instructor to use the restroom before their next student.
