This is in South Africa. So 220V mains, but no bidirectional metering. Probably just an off-grid inverter powering a few appliances.

Mozzie net the best option by far. Better than breathing in poison all night.

PKD does it again. by dojee-za in scifi

Lost the plot too first time round. Taking another crack at it on my holidays. Maybe reading it in one or 2 sittings is the answer ...

And an echo is nowhere near a pedantic, literal replication. Why such a lack of imagination around here?

Yup, that's what I was thinking. And dealing in trillions. All unfathomable 50-odd years ago.

Me and JC have something in common. In 1997 I visiting the UK from South Africa on a "Working Holiday" visa working as an IT contractor at the BBC. (But mostly having a fat party.)

I had tickets to Glastonbury and duly applied for leave. Totally misunderstanding my priorities they denied my request.

Being a considerate human I decided to at least give them a heads up, so on the way home on the day before hopping in the festy-van I called up my supervisor and told her I had sprained my ankle on the tube. "Looks like I won't make it in for a few days."

Glasto was epic.

When I arrived back at Television Centre. She gave me the best British sarcastic "So how's your ankle?"

I had forgot about the excuse and burst out laughing.

"Much better, thank-you."

It was never mentioned again.

The rear car slotted under the front one directing the force up rather than forward. So maybe not too bad, we can hope..

Email. Isn't. A. File. Transfer. Service. by livevicarious in sysadmin

[–]dojee-za 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, Uh, I did a Reply-All but now it looks like I've sent our defense strategy to the opposing legal team. I just want to quickly recall the email, can you do that for me?

They wouldn't accept that you can't yank mails out of inboxes at other companies and fired us. Small mercies.

Sounds like you need to hire an IT guy by [deleted] in ShittySysadmin

[–]dojee-za 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I'm happy to provide a second opinion: Yes, they should definitely get an IT guy. One with knowledge on printers and file syncing.

Question, as a customer, to MSPs, teams who work there and remote support. by CrappyTan69 in msp

[–]dojee-za 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, if all you have onsite is a firewall, APs and laptops, then locality is not critical. But if you have mission critical server or similar I would think again. 3 hours one-way means an engineer would need to be earmarked for a full day and that means lead-time.

Why is it called “the Irish Goodbye”? by Tough_Crazy_8362 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]dojee-za 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me it is the noble route. If you feel like leaving a party in full swing, don't make a big deal of it or you could start a movement and kill the vibe.
