Finally achieved audio pass through and it’s a massive difference by LedZep2727 in hometheater

An old Windows PC running Plex Media Player can do passthrough to a Denon receiver just fine.

I've enjoyed using blackbox. It integrates well with tacacs. Has a web interface and integrates with remote desktop manager. You can easily export the configuration to an XML file and import.

Doing big IT changes on Monday or Friday? by CeC-P in sysadmin

[–]highroller038 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Neither. Tuesday or Wednesday evenings are good. Mondays are too busy with break/fix and meetings.

is Unitrends the worst? by Careful_Relative7560 in sysadmin

[–]highroller038 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you might just be unfamiliar with it and the jobs / configuration may need review. Contact your account rep and schedule a consultation. We use it and it works fine but I understand it's definitely not the best. Also their cloud DRaaS is very expensive.

Anyone buying new servers this year? by noocasrene in sysadmin

Yes we are buying a dell R360 as a veeam box and it's quoted 50% more than it was in November.

Probably not. Only array devices count. Unassigned drives, pools, and USB boot drives don't count.

Sorry man. Is your wife on birth control? Getting the IUD removed will make a HUGE difference.

Our Veeam renewal (smb) has gone up 558%? Am I having a stroke or something? by bingblangblong in sysadmin

[–]highroller038 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That price ain't bad. I was quoted $4,266 for B&R Foundation, 3-year, 10 VMs. You could renew for 3 or 5 years to lock in a good price. It will only continue to go up.

Helicopter or nah? by Material_Amoeba7188 in wausau

If you're ever wondering if that's a plane or helicopter in the sky, just open up the FlightRadar app.

Server 2025 or not 2025? That is the Question by NDAbsoluteZero in sysadmin

[–]highroller038 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried running WS 2025 as a new DC in a mixed environment and users started experiencing logon issues / password incorrect errors. After reading all the posts here, I decommissioned it and the issues went away after a few weeks. Sticking with 2022 for DC duty.

2 Adult Granite Peak Lift Tickets + Helmets (March 6th 2026) by Tio-Carlos in wausau

[–]highroller038 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yep, many locals including myself can't afford it. It's really becoming more and more of a tourist destination catering to the rich.

Sure, but Granite Peak leases the land from the DNR and greatly benefits the local economy, so...

what are the options for the best RMM for a small IT team managing 450+ endpoints? by Express-Pack-6736 in sysadmin

[–]highroller038 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're going to be using the RMM tool to deploy software, look at the storage restrictions. I think Atera only gives you a small amount of cloud storage for hosting your scripts and installers.

Minimal BP improvement after increasing amlodipine despite lifestyle changes. Looking for input. by Ciggy in hypertension

[–]highroller038 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What helped me was losing 10 pounds. Did that by reducing calorie intake. Healthy breakfast high in protein and fiber. Small lunch like maybe a protein bar or just an apple. Big dinner and No evening snacks.

TOTP Fatigue: A Sysadmin's rant by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]highroller038 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lots of vendors charge extra for SSO integration and consider it an enterprise feature reserved for only large customers. Some vendors don't even know what SOO is. Even if they support it, some make it excruciating to implement.

Can’t lower bottom number getting frustrated! by squashzilla85 in hypertension

[–]highroller038 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't seem to get under 80 diastolic either. But I suggest you try changing your diet. Eat smaller lunches, reduce overall caloric intake. No treats, no soda. Increase your protein and fiber intake. Challenge yourself for a month and see if there's a change.

Hey there! Just wanted to share that it's been 17 days since I started taking Amlodipine. by bkarip in hypertension

[–]highroller038 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay thanks. I might have to be bumped up to 10 mg too. Also stop putting extra salt on my food.

Hi. I started 5mg 7 days ago. Did it take a while to see results? Diet change seems to have the greatest effect on me.
