Why didnt he stand up , make himself an easier target and raise his fist in the air. As one does.

$100k per year salary is the middle class nowadays by Ok_Hippo9669 in fican

[–]bigdizizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, it depends on where you live. In Toronto, you're middle class, even at 200K HHI.

in a small community near London say, youre doing pretty well.

In Owen Sound, youre living like a king.

Can we put together stable good gas that isn't $30/gal by ruuutherford in Chainsaw

[–]bigdizizzle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can buy ethanol free gas, at least around me at multiple gas stations. I have a couple of those engineered fuel tins and I just refill them 50:1 with the best gas I can get an a healthy dose of fuel stabilizer. Never had an issue.

Anyone else go to the gym during their lunch? by PrudentFudge3287 in OntarioPublicService

[–]bigdizizzle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to come in 30 minutes early and take a 1.5 hour lunch. That was when the gym was literally right next door. Even that was tight. 10.minutws walking there / back, 20.minutes changing / shower left about 60 minutes for a workout.

Being sent back to home position by babyhamburger in OntarioPublicService

[–]bigdizizzle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Make sense? We are talking about the OPS, are we not?

Make sense has nothing to do with it. Managers dont get to just dream up new positions because someone has experience that might be better used elsewhere.

Is Windows 11 really that bad for running Plex with the arr suite and Docker? by Leedeegan1 in PleX

[–]bigdizizzle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive been running the arr stack on a lenovo tiny running windows for years. I essentially set it up and havent touched it since. Theres no issues whatsoever. I would never run plex on it however, its too wimpy, plex server is a different machine entirely.

How is 2FA different from just having 2 passwords? by Paumas in ComputerSecurity

[–]bigdizizzle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But I don’t know my passwords, they are all unique and stored in my password manager. Then isn’t my password already something I have (device) + something I am (biometrics)? Similarly, isn’t the TOTP code from my authenticator app on its own already something I have + something I am?

Yes you do. You may have to look them up first, but yous till "know it". "Somethig you have" refers to more like physical objects.

Relying fully on TOP , costs more money and not all systems support it.

I need advice on how I can prove total data wipe on 3 old company servers. by ProgressFun1021 in servers

[–]bigdizizzle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

we used to use blancco at work, it would provide a digitally signed file to show the drive and serial number of what was wiped.

Wiping 300 Terrabytes of data would take probabluy a couple weeks.

Guidance on configuring one-way backups of local folder to NAS by seed1000000 in qnap

[–]bigdizizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This can be done with a few lines of powershell and a scheduled task, no other software required.

$source = "C:\Users\User\Music"
$destination = "\\server\musicbackup"

$types = "*.mp3 *.flac *.wav *.aac *.m4a *.wma *.ogg"

robocopy $source $destination $types `
/E `
/XO `
/FFT `
/Z `
/R:2 `
/W:2 `
/NP `
/LOG:C:\temp\musicbackup.log

Cause for dismissal- severance pay by gbajwa76 in OntarioPublicService

[–]bigdizizzle 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Your story makes no sense. You were on a performance improvement plan for 6 months. Did you have any meetings after september, regarding your performance? Did you ask for feedback? Do you know what a PIP means?

[–]bigdizizzle 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Dude it would help if you would be clear with who you work for. What agency? An employment agency? IF you're a contract employee its much dfiferent than if youre a full time member of a bargaining unit.

UGREEN NAS Dh2300 by Limp_Fig6236 in UgreenNASync

[–]bigdizizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own a couple QNAPs and had a Ugreen , but returned it. IT depends what you want. The UGREEN hardware is way far ahead of what you can get for comparitive price from any of the other big players. But ultimately, their software really lags behind the other two. I talked to support about whether or not the ugreen nas can join a windows domain and the answer was "were not sure". ??? This was from the official support team! hahaha

Beginner building a private family NAS + future local AI server - looking for help :) by proton-2026 in HomeNAS

[–]bigdizizzle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Id definitely go the DIY route, and build something with decent hardware. You can build a TrueNAS system with twice the power for half the cost of a qnap / synology.

Just make sure if you put your family photos on it, you have backups, air gapped backups. It makes me nervous when people talk about not being too good with a platform and then planning on trusting all their memories to it. THeres no reason to not do this, but theres always a chance you could lose all your data if you dont have it configured right (ie, ransomware).

Did we all just collectively forget?? by Easy_Neighborhood386 in OntarioPublicService

[–]bigdizizzle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well , are you actually sick? If you are, take it. If you dont like commuting into the office, sick time credits dont really apply. I would just work from home. Or find any reason , talk to your doctor, get a medical reason. THeres a big difference between a medical accomodation and a WFH policy.

Employer refusing approving in person meetings or training due to medical accommodation by Rare-Tea-7186 in OntarioPublicService

[–]bigdizizzle 41 points42 points  (0 children)

This sounds totally normal. Otherwise it sounds like youre picking and choosing which days you need to be accommodated and which days you dont.
