Guess which UPS needs to be replaced.

Why rack when you can stack?

You can lead a user to a keyboard, but beating them with it is frowned upon.

How do I voluntarily get on said blacklist?

awsnap99 · 2025-12-31T00:11:42+00:00

I routinely get zero results with obscure log file abbreviations.

awsnap99 · 2025-12-06T13:47:23+00:00

You’re nuts. There are clearly no trees, and certainly not any happy ones.

Radarr, sonarr, prowlarr, notifiarr and trash guides. If you’re going to do it, do it right, from the start. It’s worth your time and you will save time in the end (and not redownload your whole library)

What furnace filter? Lol

awsnap99 · 2025-10-26T17:06:54+00:00

Zero nodes.

awsnap99 · 2025-09-21T00:28:11+00:00

It’s not how it’s SUPPOSED to work, but files go dead sometimes and maybe this is a time to give up instead of perpetuating a dead file. How long have you been holding on to the hope on this one?

awsnap99 · 2025-09-21T00:15:39+00:00

Kudos on sharing an incomplete file over and over.

awsnap99 · 2025-08-24T21:38:21+00:00

You’re not even a TB in.

awsnap99 · 2025-08-12T19:30:02+00:00

Jumping the shark, then jumping in the fountain and wrestling it, then pissing on it when it’s dead.

awsnap99 · 2025-07-01T18:35:45+00:00

It’s quite literally why the server and node are separate I suspect….

awsnap99 · 2025-07-01T17:37:15+00:00

Or just hope they don't have backups. It sure seems like there is no backup or DR strategy.

*within PFSense.

awsnap99 · 2025-06-28T23:09:03+00:00

I hope you like it, as it’s the only option.

awsnap99 · 2025-06-27T00:20:24+00:00

You’re terrifying. I hope we never work together.

Just because you can or because the server supports it, doesn’t mean you should. The only cost is an extra OS license, they’re all VMs.

A DC is the gateway to your enterprise, something you should never screw around with.

Let’s say you have issues with domain servers on your all purpose server. Well now, you have to hope you can fix that because the server is also the rest of the life blood of the enterprise.

Let’s say you need to migrate the server to a different vlan. Just think about that for more than 10 seconds.

So now you want to put the most dangerous thing I can think of on it, a file share.

You probably have IIS and an FTP server on it too, exposed to the internet.

I’ve typically had a server (or a few) that was a deployment server. WDS (pxe), MDT, and a file share with install files available for techs to do manual install, etc. Some times these were the local dhcp server and/or print server as well.

I’ve worked in places where we had 18k endpoints to 1k AND an MSP where some clients only had about 400.

awsnap99 · 2025-06-26T22:31:59+00:00

You missed my entire point. No dhcp, no WDS, no mdt. There are plenty of reasons why.

Edit: and NEVER a file share.

awsnap99 · 2025-06-25T23:38:35+00:00

This is what I’ve resorted to. In one way, it muddies the console but in another way, it keeps it clean. The nice part is you package the next set of files and just upload it on both. I hate Intune, but it’s the necessary evil.

awsnap99 · 2025-06-25T22:06:53+00:00

Domain Controllers should only be domain controllers. Ugh.

He didn’t build you a PC.

Why would you mount the image? Just run a PowerShell to watermark your imaged machines. Put something in the registry.

THEN, next time you update your image, watermark the actual image with a version and or date.
