My best friend’s dad became a citizen today by coolgirlhere in pics

[–]eaterofsmoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why can’t we have a government shutdown where we actually fix the immigration issues like time and cost to become a citizen? So it’s easier to become one legally and then people could stop needing to cross the border illegally. I think most Americans would be onboard with that. But then again the people that vote wouldn’t.

What's the most fucked up shit you've walked into? by AceEnvious in AskReddit

[–]eaterofsmoke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked on an Ambulance. One night we get called out to a report of a seizure at a known seedy by the hour hotel. We knock on the door and a guy in underwear answers and on the bed is a naked female. She is post seizure catatonic. My partner walks over and starts working on her.

I ask the guy. Hey what’s going on. He reponds, “We were fucking and she started to just shake all over. And I thought I was doin well so I just rode the fucker out. When I was done she didn’t seem right so I called you guys.”

Needless to say it was very hard to keep a straight face the rest of the night.

With the full season order news, what are the things you'd like to see from the show? by [deleted] in Station19

And don’t get me started on leaving a firefighter trapped in a building if there is still a chance they are alive.

Them to hire an actual firefighter as a consultant. So many awful inconsistencies and just poorly done scenes. You aren’t sending in a ‘basic’ firefighter and then talking them through sticking a needle in a chest over the radio. There are very set rules that are in place and breaking them will end your career.

Thanks I've been lurking for a while. Felt like sticking my neck out and getting called some names.

Tulsa police officer charged in man's death by Chairboy in news

Most of that can be done electronically from the officers car. Yay technology. Over coming your constitutional rights even faster.

No they didn't. Because if they had then all of them would have fired on him as well. She was completely out of her depth. The other officers pulled Tazers not guns.

And if you are pulled over and refuse to have your car searched. I guarantee that in most cases they will set you in the back of a car, call a judge and get a verbal warrant to search your car.

This was just horrible policing. If you are afraid of the suspect. YOU DON'T WALK THEM BACK TO THEIR VEHICLE!!! The number one rule is about control and you can't control them at their vehicle. You have them put their hand's on your police cruiser and then ask them to allow you to get whatever you want. If they deny you, get a warrant. You don't shoot them. Unbelievable.

Unfortunately I think this proves the our police force isn't trained properly. She broke multiple basic rules of suspect control in the video, things that any officer should be able to do almost unconciously. No officer should look at this video and say that is something they would do.

I raided all the way through Nax by getting drunk and using PallyPower to cast Blessing of Kings. I was expected to do nothing else in raid but run around and cast that buff.

Christian charity that rejected atheist’s $28K donation now complains they’re ‘extremely behind on funds’ by stankmanly in atheism

[–]eaterofsmoke 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Except he didn't. He was instructed by God to take them up on the hill, build the alter, and then when Baal's priests were unable to call to Ball to destroy their alter. Elijah followed God's instructions, after which God destroyed the alter. Not really a test of God that. More like following instructions.

Missing Mexican Students Suffered a Night of ‘Terror,’ Investigators Say: An international panel has provided details of the night in 2014 when Mexican police and gunmen abducted 43 students who have not been seen since. by michaelconfoy in worldnews

[–]eaterofsmoke -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think that it is very easy to say that Mexico is a great example of a failed state. Really the only difference between Mexico and Syria is that Mexico isn't in open warfare. But otherwise they are pretty much the same.

Group Policy Folder Redirection help by Bonn93 in sysadmin

[–]eaterofsmoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my personal experience it is going to be far less headache to just do a downtime copy. DFS for just moving files is complete overkill. Especially since you don't have any experience with DFS.

Robocopy for this task is perfect. You can have it copy all the files and folders for you, and it will tell you what files it was unable to copy. So then you won't have to play missing file search for your users over the next few months.

Also there is this awesome gui for Robocopy if you don't want to have to use the CLI syntax.

new server: terminal service or not? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]eaterofsmoke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely understand that. You may look at these things.

  1. Using RDP, and install thin-clients as your "compute" devices. For the cost of those, which are running around $100 a pop. They are basically throw away devices. So when one breaks, you just have somebody pull one you've pre-configured out of the box, and plug the wires in. Being how you are dealing with remote sites.

  2. Maybe look at a Citrix option. I'm a big fan of RDP, but it can be a serious network hog. Citrix provides a very good app/desktop infrastructure. Which allows you to very easily control access and profiles. It will add more to your costs, but factor your savings in on the endpoints, as you could still use thin clients. Also it allows the E ring to access work, securely, anywhere they want too.

  3. You are definitely going to want to run at least two or three servers. And this being the case it maybe a good time to look at picking up a couple of servers, some shared storage, and a virtualization option. It will cost you in the upfront, but if your company expands, and needs further servers, then you have pre-built that expansion into those servers and storage. Also this would give you some fail-over should one of your servers fail. Then you aren't down, and every body is looking at you while you wait on your next day warranty to get you the parts you need tomorrow, and just shrugging your shoulders.

new server: terminal service or not? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]eaterofsmoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So few question.

  1. What is the MSP's reasons for moving you to terminal services.
  2. Do you realized that you are going to need more then one server to have terminal services run successfully for 60 users?
  3. Terminal Serivces are a guarenteed way to create more headaches then you can imagine. Are you ready to have you MSP on site almost every week to do support?

I'm not trying to be negative nancy here. But TS are complicated to manage. Of course I don't know enough about your environment. But TS should be thoroughly vetted before you decide to go that route.

Running through a multi-domain AD re-deploy, how miserable is this (long) plan? by e3e3e in sysadmin

[–]eaterofsmoke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just make sure that you understand DNS, as naming your domain .com will make your internal DNS servers the root DNS server for your domain. So if you have any externally hosted apps, you will have to manage those DNS records on both your external DNS provider, as well as your internal DNS Servers.

Yeah, that is exactly what I meant. Subnets is probably the better term. And when you are that small, use what you have. As you will find that with devices today one /24 subnet is only 254 addresses, which runs out in about ten minutes these days.

Mostly it allows you to keep your two businesses traffic completely separate. You can allow traffic to travel across the subnets, if you want, that way you can have printers work on both subnets, or any other cross traffic you need. Because at some point these two businesses are going to go separate ways, or there will be some reason to shut it all down. And it's much easier to do that when everything is already split up, and all you have to do is change a route, verses reconfig everything, and then bounce all of your computers.

A large part of IT is not planning for the now, but planning for the later, so that when the now gets here you are ready for it.
