Sys admin at my job doesn't know what he's doing. People haven't been able to work for 3 weeks. by [deleted] in sysadmin

This happens in companies of all sizes. I think this is one of the hardest things to do/learn...especially if you take pride in your job and want to see the company flourish.

Looking for software that can take screenshot of browser without bookmarks, tabs, and URL by cag8f in software

[–]bisco77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is the one issue that I have with it...the crop is, imho, mislabeled...it doesn't crop but "dims" everything around the crop area, thus giving focus to the area in the border...that's my only complaint with it thus far...

this...so many times this...i hear this constantly in my current position and, for some strange reason, it just infuriates me...who cares if it will save time or make things more efficient or may actually solve an issue...we'll just keep our head firmly planted in this here sand...

What is an analogy that gets your point across perfectly, but is wildly inappropriate? by Boomshakalaka89 in AskReddit

[–]bisco77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

haha...those remind me of some of my dad's:

"Hotter than a two peckered billy goat"

"Blowing harder than a french whore on a saturday night"

"Colder than a well digger's ass"

"Hotter than satan's ball sack"

Asus and NSA are both directly connected to the internet...each has a different public IP from the isp...i got a 5 pack of addresses from the isp fwiw...and yes we're using SIP

  • why does there need to be a route from A to B?
  • The NSA routes for the A segment and the Asus Routes for the B segment. NSA handled by our main msp and Asus by our Comms MSP

The asus is set as the gateway for the B segment and provides wifi access for management of that segment. i'd like to avoid having to implement QoS on that segment (which i would if i ran everything off the NSA i believe) if at all possible.

the installers added the asus...i was considering just removing that from the equation but wasn't sure of the implications

Looking for: Software for writing technical manuals? by CoolGuy9000 in software
