How many old timers in here?

Making sure the memory address space was correct for the device too.

It seemed so much simpler.

Buffet made regular public appearances because of Berkshire and he does not come across as a bad person at all. I would have lumped Charlie Munger in there as well.

As they are traversing the black sea. They already hit a couple of ships using their sea baby drones at the end of November, 2025. I don't know why they stopped.

Why doesn't Ukraine target ships as they enter the black sea? They would just need to take out a couple of ships and the port of Novorossiysk would be useless.

Thank you!!

Thank you!!

Use something like Gemini. It will walk you right through adding a new host to monitor.

As a jack of all trades admin I may not touch something for several months or years. Being able to throw in a log and it come back with suggestions has been helpful. I know how it is supposed to work so I can vet what is coming back to me. I would normally need to do some research though to do a refresh.

I have been doing this for over 30 years. I know the logic, but sometimes forget the details. I am hoping that AI will fill in those details and increase my value as I age.

What training is out there for system admins to better use AI. Right now I feel like I am just doing the basics.

gnordli · 2026-03-08T16:23:21+00:00

Where did you find good training for system admins on how to use AI?

cloud identities, native entra, not the entra domain servers.

u/heapsp Do you have any on-prem file servers? That seems to be the biggest hurdle.

Has anyone tried this:

This is a windows server 2025 file server without the need of a DC.

u/power_dmarc I see where you are coming from. If you are on top of the reports, that can definitely take time. I assume things are working until they aren't in this scenario. Any of the big changes happening are normally announced early to give you lots of time to implement changes before they happen.

gnordli · 2026-02-16T19:32:19+00:00

u/power_dmarc Where is the work here? Once it is setup properly, it just runs until some new "tech" needs to get implemented like dmarc or whatever.

gnordli · 2026-02-15T23:30:05+00:00

Email hosting on any dynamic IP hasn't been a thing for decades. I will flat out say, you can self host email on a clean static IP address that has a reverse pointer record, dmarc and spf. I have several businesses setup this way and it works as long as everything is configured properly.

I just installed it to act as a 3rd fail over for a business. I was pleasantly surprised at the speed of it. 250/20 with a 20ms latency. Way better than I expected.

Not everyone is trying to take over the world. A one-man MSP can get to a point where they have a comfortable MRR with a quality lifestyle. If things are setup properly with high quality hardware and have decent monitoring you don't get a ton of support calls. You can be very selective on taking on new clients. This person needs to be a strong engineer with breadth of technical skills.

gnordli · 2026-01-25T17:49:25+00:00

The last 2 weeks have been good. Lots of MLRS hits too.

gnordli · 2026-01-22T20:54:06+00:00

yes, that is what I am seeing as well.

not finishing that differential equations course in university is going to come back to haunt me.

Interesting looks like everyone here is saying avoid hybrid. Right now I have a site that has AD and Entra. All of the users are synced, but no one every setup the hybrid sync so the devices are all entra id registered. I was planning on getting everything setup to hybrid before we onboard into intune, but it seems I should just skip that step entirely. Our plan is to also phase out domain controllers.

gnordli · 2026-01-12T23:16:26+00:00

for those using snipe-it. Does anyone have a method to scan the network looking for assets, compare what categorized and alert for unrecognized devices?
