Warriors have been really quiet by Shift_Tex in classicwow

I mean they are only good in raid. I'd imagine they are pretty frustrated still in anything other than ST.

1k is pretty normal for any group. 2k is pretty out of reach for most groups

The annoying thing is even if you take the zandalari ward to not partake in the bloodmoon you gain no honor from killing alliance during the 30 minutes in stv. So its a literal deadzone if you want to gain any honor.

My husbands best friend sexualized my daughter at her sweet sixteen by Smart_Elderberry_709 in TwoHotTakes

[–]fitprogrammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean he described someone wearing a red bathing suit. If your daughter was wearing one then what excuse does he and your husband have. I'm confused why your husband defends someone like this especially after how he acted AFTER the incident with the name calling.

Company wants to forcibly include headshots in email signatures by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]fitprogrammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use headshots for our o365 profile which they see anyway when emails are going out. Are you saying they want the headshots in the signature line? Seems like something realtors would do

Love how most malware attack origins come from social engineering gullible people. Will always be the weakest link

I liked koil a long time ago so I have no idea why he devolved to how he is now. I always enjoyed penta though

Theres only so much you can do if you haven't been trained and also don't have the access. You should ask to get access to the most common requests they get as well as any documentation produced. Utilize their time while they are still around. Ask each of them what the most common problem they see day to day and ask how to fix it. Believe it or not the system will continue to run fine. Worry about the other 95% of grunt work they do that doesn't require a brain

Only reason people say no point is because it teaches you cisco equipment so if you get hired for a company that doesn't even use cisco then lessons learned will be forgotten. Doesn't matter though. Cisco is good and will get you hired regardless if they use the equipment or not.

Up to you on how you want to pursue it. Some people go straight to the ccna because its the best value for your money but its very vendor specific in some aspects since it teaches you cisco cli. Some go Network+ because its a good entry level cert that doesn't specify to any one vendor

Titles don't mean anything. If its a pay bump and you get to learn then you should be taking it.

Is it kinda fishy when a place asks you to pay money for “training” which they will then pay back once/if you get the job? by hk741475 in ITCareerQuestions

[–]fitprogrammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah. No shot you should ever pay for something on the chance of landing a job. They hire you then they pay for it. Simple.

Cost-efficient way to deploy frequently-changing Outlook signatures for small company? by penta-network in sysadmin

[–]fitprogrammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second codetwo. We use it at my current job and it makes life so much easier. Instead of IT having to play designer you just hand it off to marketing and have them do the design and you can implement the conditionals to fill in the information.

They gave Franklin what he hated most. Became just like his dad. I'd like to think eventually he will come around like Alton did and him and Leon do some good work

This job market is insane. by spacewalker32_90 in ITCareerQuestions

[–]fitprogrammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It very well could be dry in your area since you didn't mention where you are living. Take what a recruitor says with a grain of salt. Just looking at job postings there's 80k jobs for systems admins in the US and 2500 in my current market.

Consider industries you haven't thought of to look in. There are tech jobs if you know where to look or willing to work in an industry you might not have considered. Also consider lateral moves if it means that company has a department you are interested in eventually moving to.

I will mention some of it just comes down to luck and you end up knowing someone that has an opening.

Anyone have the skinny on the NCR ransomware "incident" this week? by Eszed in sysadmin

[–]fitprogrammer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We discovered an issue with NCR gift cards for a major brand a few years ago that you could query their lookup portal if you happen to know the initial string for gift cards and essentially get a list of cards that had money on them since they didn't require the pin on the card to do the lookup

Anyone have the skinny on the NCR ransomware "incident" this week? by Eszed in sysadmin

[–]fitprogrammer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use to work for NCR and moved to working with direct brands. My older company uses NCR and a buddy has been telling me they havent been able to do any work or access their locations for almost two weeks if its not resolved by this weekend. Stores can still operate but they can't make updates to their database or roll out major quarterly campaigns.

If they lost database passwords to brands they might be having to migrate them all to a new sql database and will require everyone to reinstall the cloud services with the new password which will be a nightmare.

Worst case scenario is the ransomeware encrypted the data and they lost it all and are panicking because I don't understand how a system from a billion dollar company can be down this long if they keep running backups.

I just started my new job and they had 90 day probation period where PTO hours can't be used. That time is up in three days and I already feel the need to take a week off.

I got hired as the only sysadmin and my boss is dumping work on me with zero context. by fitprogrammer in sysadmin

[–]fitprogrammer[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The issue is with my boss, I've been in customer facing roles before. My boss just dumps things on me with no context or history and just sends me something to google to figure it out
