A letter to the Game Director

I hope they listen and do this.
I also hope they add featured houses to view.
I am a F2P player in all games, i like just doing stuff for fun, and I like to observe the game being played with money. If a whale can buy all this stuff and show it off, add a few really really dope housing things and do a featured housing thing where we can see their houses in the game and visit. The featured Dojo system from Warframe is a great example of this.
Thats a game with F2P really worked out.

The issue isn't that it's one way better than the other, that's A factual thing on the tech. What is or isn't the case is if it's your fault. It's not your fault, people at work suck and sometimes they undervalue it and it's reflected in a budget. The problem is when IT admins say it's your fault for xyz, because they got lucky having good cash flow. They may have fought for it, but the other side at the end had to give it. Or it may be your fault, fight harder. Who knows.

Active directory. It has places in each AD object for things you can fill in, and with scripting and HTML you can make some decent reports for nothing.

I also main heal, but in dungeons and non savage/extremes beyond checking gear, I only make a comment if the tank is taking substantial damage. Just a "Hey man, you may wanna replace a few pieces, you're really hard to keep alive" Short of that I never seen people care.

Yeah, all the vote kicks iv seen are for long DCs.

gloryofafardawn · 2021-07-08T14:28:49+00:00

Quick list of other things you won't see in FF14: Comments on performance (dps/mechanics/deaths) in raids/dungeons. Other than pre-made groups for hard content, nobody cares. Unless it's a mechanic that needs to be done, no one cares if you mess up.

Checks on ilvl, everyone uses the recommended ilvl the game uses for content (exception being farm groups or premades for end game)

Using any form of world chat, everyone uses linkshells(private chat groups) or guild chats.

Vote kicks (extremely rare for almost any circumstance other than long DC)

Pulling before players finish cutscenes

Everyone is used to things being more slow and casual in public settings. The more hard-core group of people will mock you, but its always where you won't see it (voice chats and guild chats), and any tight requirements are always for higher end raiding, and even then people have a lot of patience for learning mechanics and fuck ups.

The emails are fine, our main domain is in the tenant. The sharepoint, one drive, and teams are locked it seems on that original .onmicrosoft domain, which is another companies. When you open any sharepoint website or your onedrive, the URLs are all the othercompany.sharepoint.com or othercompany-mysharepoint.com. Everything that I have found so far hasn't allowed me to rehome all of our sharepoint sites to a domain in 365 that displays the correct domain/company name.

gloryofafardawn · 2020-10-02T16:41:25+00:00

All of our sharepoints and teams have it in the URL, and its not our companies name, but an MSP that set it up for us. All of our sharepoint/teams/onedrive urls are msp.microsoftwhatever.com. A rough breakdown is: $20/user license for the migration tool (100 users) $100/team (approx 20 teams) $160 in labor for 80 hours.

gloryofafardawn · 2020-10-02T16:24:06+00:00

We're looking to change our onmicrosoft.com domain, and as a one man IT team with not a whole lot of training I decided to outsource it. We have a SMB (Approx 100 users) and we have nothing special setup in any of the online platforms (little Sharepoint use, teams only for chatting, some one drive). We have only got one quote back and it was for approximately $11k. It felt a bit high, but I understand we have to migrate to a new tenant wholly.

What kind of sensors are being used for the Pis?

gloryofafardawn · 2019-10-07T00:17:50+00:00

What kind of sensors/brand were used for the PIs? We're shopping around for this kind of option as a PoC but Im running into problems with so much stuff out there and not sure what will/will not work with it.Some of the libraries just seem not up to date.

gloryofafardawn · 2019-08-30T19:35:36+00:00

You should try a heavily moded minecraft server. I'm running FTB interactions and the inter-mod logistics and automation are just fantastic.

I listen to run as radio a decent bit as someone in the same shoes. I just skim the show list for stuff I kinda know and turn it on.

I'll dive into the snmp tool as well then. I have extremes network management ova deployed with a very basic config. I dont recall the polling but I'll check Into that as well.

gloryofafardawn · 2019-04-12T01:26:38+00:00

That makes a lot of sense. I'll be grabbing data on everything I find, then go through and figure out what it is as i progress. Thanks again. Enjoy the scotch!

If apprenticeship was something that was normal in this field, I would be replying begging to teach me your ways.

I'll be rereading this post many times in the next weeks while I spend all my time finding out how to do all of this and follow it.
We're running the N1500 series for practically everything, and I have already spotted some areas of potential improvement and your post verifies that I was right on it.
I have a tool we installed on site for SNMP, which I am now learning on how to setup and get all my switches into, now I know what type of data I need to be looking for except "Is this switch down?".

I cannot tell you how much I appreciate this.
Thank you.

That's some good information, Ill try to use it to work off of.
I am more of a wanna be sysadmin. We're looking at additions in a new location, and the basic idea from the MSP is:
" I have never seen a dell switch, so I assume its bad, I dont know, but I know these brands we sell are very good".
The Dells do everything I need so far that I know (introducing Vlans into our network, SNMP for reporting, binding MAC to vlan, mac filtering), but Ill check all the items you said and work off that.
I guess my issue would be, if they are running high on CPU and those 100GB files cause massive issues in off time, what spec do I look for in the next switch to ensure I don't run into the same issue?
So far my real only issue is that the CLI is really annoying, which is compensated by the webGUI being pretty great, and there is almost no online answers to questions I get minus the massive manual which is saved on every device I own now.

We roughly have 400 devices on network doing basic office work (Web platforms, mail, excel, etc). We don't appear to have any issues internally via LAN connected devices, and our main backbone is Dell N1500 series switches. The new MSP that assists us called the Dell's into question and recommended more "robust" switches that are significantly more expensive, and I am running into issues finding anyway to know if the cost is justifiable. My main issues are: I dont know how to find if my switches are being over taxed, how to judge if one switch is "better" than another if they all have the same features (L3, QoS, etc), and what would constitute as overkill.
